We append a few -citracts• on this subject, clipp - kl at random from our ex chatige3 . . The Bradford Reporter ,anno u nces . that 1 ,Gov. Pollock has appo in ted David Wilmot to be-President Judge of he 13th Judicial Dis trict. The tertn'of office ommenced on the first of the present menth Mad 'continues one year. At the next general election the °dice will be filled•hy the, pouter voice. • This act .of \Vilmot's in returning to the 'bench after his defeat, will ntit take the pub• lie; by surprise. 'Gov. Bigler said in his speech during the campaign. that" Wilmot would more probably be the .successor of Judge . Bullock than of Gov: Pollock; and the re m& showed . a just apprpCiatiouof his char acter. ,We know of uo - instance in our histo• ry as a Stare where a .Judge has been so shamelessly regardless , of the •dignity- and purity of the judicial ,character. Even Wil mats wannest friends must lose all respect for the man after th 4 step. When he resign ed his judgeship to enter, upon a partizan canvass for Governor, he made a deliberate -choice between .the. sanctity of the judicial station and the exciting, conflicts of politics, • chiming the latter as his portion. But no .ecioner is he.defeated. than hot from the con `Oict, be again dons the ermine antrta'kes his place upon the bench as the embodiment of . judit!lial purity and impartiality. ',His thirst ,for officelimat be inordinate and un-:pendia ble, thus to overstep the bounds of decent . popriety. .. But what shall we say of a Gov ernor and . a Judge who have allowed them selves to be facile instruments in , his hands of keeping in 'reserve.a seat upon the beach to which he might resort le case the people re= Oldie:ea his pfetensions to the gubernatorial office!

Governor :Pollock has appointed David ; Republican ittro (t) of the late Gubernatorial campaign--President Judge of. the I:3th Judicial .District, which position he resigned in . Augustlast, when Mini Darius Bullock was appointed. Wilmot's 4ornrnis slob is for one year from December 741. This is but :additional evidenerr of the ipti ble pti and. : triciry character of the man the Repub licans- wanted•lo foist, on us for Governor. Wilmot was nominated, and 'common decen cyem d "anciei rpat lie should resign that sition as soonias be aecepte s 4 the post of the Republican . party. But he, held on with a tenacious clutch, fearing to lot go that post of honor. lest, he_ might never reach another. If posible•livi would have retained the robei of tape and worn them through the State as . he waded and rolled in the filth of the political puddles. But even when his friends urged him to ray'..aside the ermine, nithirliaracter istic,cunnink, he deferred doin,„,a, E . () until Au gitst,Only a few weeks Woie the election for ersoverncir. We thought we saw his objet at the, time, and now it is transparent._ .11Ad be resigned the Judgeshipjnftnediafely upon his nomination fur Governor, an election would have been held in October to fill his vacant seat on the Bench. But he postponed Lie resignation until August, so' as to •prevent an election for Jtidge - there being 'no provis ion in, theact of Assembly for an. election, unless the vacancy occurs three montlis before the second Tuesday of October-,--and thus re serve for hinigelf that comfortable berth on Which to fall back and case himself after the mortification of - idisgraceful defeat. "Oh, shame' where is thy blush ?" lhcoN was said 'to be the greatest end the meanest of men, but whether this transaction leaves Wil mot or Pollock ' to (contest the palm of-menn: ness with him, we will not undertake to de-. tide.

Mr. twin gave notice of his intention to trOduce hills for the construction of a NUrth ern, Southern and Central • 'Pacific Railroad. Also of a bill to organize the territoll of Ari zona. Me'sage indicates the willingness of the ! President to sign any bill Congress might pass receiving Kansas as a State under that ' Constitution, but it was a very significant ! fact that the President had refrained from any indorsement of rho Convention, and any I re commendation kis to the course which Cton gress should. pursue in regard to the minds • Sion of Kansas. Indeed, AO Resident sad expressed deep mortifieatioi and disappoint afent that the whole Cons)itution 'was not submitted to the people of Kansas for their acceptance or' rejection. - e • Mr. Bigler replied, to 'Mr. Douglas, saying the: Convention.was called . according to 14," and had' been - recognized- by the President/a:4 Governor of the Territory. it was theririlif to submit the Cbmstitution to th peopleqor se.nd it to Congiess, without s. submissihn.

It would be the duty of Congress,to look . at the quef,- lion as it came before them, and„'do the bet they could, looking, at the . hap_pinese oft e entire country.
