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

rassed the State, and Governor Pollock' to
make himself a party to the-plot, but the
public-will regard them as' a set of petty con
spiraters whodiave made themselves ridiculous
as well as contemptible.
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.

ofhis intention to introduce a bill for the im

Mr. Mason offered a resolution, , which was

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.
If it was right.in itself , .P iddican in folln;
and the people fair] • t ecided the slavey7 ,
question., rt, would tto wise . to keep thim
out of the simply because the whgle
COnstitutio el sad not beer: submitted, to them.
To du - would be inconsistent with the drfc
tri pf.non-intervention.
,There Was nothing in the past history?
the country to justify such-a course. 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. Ile had long been under t
impression that it would be best for the L -
ion and Kansas that that State Should be a s
rititted s at the first allowable opportunity,
order to localize the strife. lle would hap
preferred that the* whole Constitution hall
been submitted to the people, but, person'
outside of tl e Territory have no right to iq
terfere, with the slavery question there. A
Ile believed that the peoplaof Kansas no
have au' opportunity to decide whether Ow
have As free or slaYe State. Ile could' no),
