Darius Bullock, who held the Judgeship while Wilmot was stumping the State, concurs in the above, as also does David Cash, Esq., well known to many of our readers as a man of high standing,. From the foregoing it sufficiently appears that twenty of the twenty-five practising At torneys in Bradford county- demand the. re peal of their present Judicial district, for the distinct and conclusive reason that the due administration of justice demands it. The gentlemen signing the petitioli are-all-of high character, and several of them -are known to the people of the State as among_our melt prominent, reliable and worthy citizens. Has there ever-been an instance in our State, or can another now be referred to, where nearly ale entire Bar, made, or would make, such a stand against their presiding -Judge, unless his conduct was extremely. reprehensible?— We unhesitatingly reply in the negative.— The natural bent of lawyers is to seek the fa vor of the Court, to respect it :tiniest to reve rence, to acquiesce in any of its actions short of gross malpractice, and we know how diffi cult it is to induce them to take ground against a President Judge, even where ample cause exists. Yet in this instance nearly the whole barido not hisitate to testify in the strongest terms, that justice' cannot he ob tained by their _clients in court under the Presidency of David Wilmot ! We-maintain that this fact alime is conclusive that the Ju diciary should be relieved froin. Iris presence. And why not relieved ? If Judge Wilmot . is sustained in his course of action, will not all e'er Judgei soon become the 'Veriest politi cal brawlers and leaders of political factions ? Thus far he is a solitary example I A Judge constantly' seeking political preferment—a candidate resigning his 'position in such man ner as to prevent an election, with a distinCt bargain that in •case of defeat he was to be appointed to fill his . own vacancy—a bitter and violdnt partizan adjourning-his court in the sniddle of afternoon to attend and address a Political meeting at another point in his district, where he denounces the Attorneys nrattising•before him as liars and knaves— an impartial Judge who is in a constant 'political-personal fight with a large propor tion of the parties, witnesses, iurors, and At torneys of his own Court—A malignant par- I titan, wiles/political force depends upon his Hower. This is but a faint pasture of Judge Wilmot, and it is from such a character that the bar of Bradford,. county prey the Legia-, laturelo 'relieve them.

Loring was '.e excising his l'udi int powers in open and Beonstatit violation o the statute forbidditig I any , -law officer of he. Commonwealth from holding the posit'io of U.B. Commissioner. Upon this ground . or: Banks saw, fit to_grant the prayer of his fa atical petitioners.

When . it was fund, even' in Boston, Im. possible to - removehim simply for doing his 1 duty untie, -the la vs of the . land, the holy (minded fathers of lour: modern Athens cast about them to disc ver some 'effectual method of accoMplishini t ieir end. ' Accordingly a Statute was .ruanufr ctured declaring inferen tially- that the office of United States Com• missioner was so ..Idathsomes, disgusting and abominable as to unfit a being hokling it for any of those 'pursuits to which the people of 'Massachusetts, 'not exchtding the clergy or liallochian lipnclitt , were addicted. . Under , t ) this meek-m 4 the conscientious preamble Mr. Loring was de rived of his official robes. Wa cannot contest the people's right to pass such laws as they please, but the statute by force of which this removal was made is it disgrace to any code.. It was born, broached and carried in sectional passion, and is the fruit of that bitter ripirit which will eventually, if not curbed, trinr4ll in our National decay. The possibility . Of the recurrence of such a case as that of I3nlns has prompted this •dres potic enactment; punishing a man for dutl fully-complying.wlth his oath to enforce the laws of the United States as he finds them. Their spleen is vited,on„ the humble iustru tn - ent, when the Fault is, actually ,with the law. They strike - a to sardly blow at the agent and let.prinhipal go-free. Gentlemen, it. is vain to kick again*, the pricks. You 4+ave not eradicated the evil by this dted. Jidge Loring ma' be hurled from the bench by your insane :toil, but the law (which yon are all bound to obey) still stands as the guaranty of a right which every tnan has to claim his property wherever. be finds it. • What folly, ti, n, to vent your anger en the minister. ' Such legislation is not founded on necessity, but Iprings 'from the malevolent inclination of petty minds. You oftener damage . your cause than benefit it by such misdoings. A man would sooner grant, you a favor if you asked him politely for it, than if you seized him by the throat-and insulting ly demanded it. I . Such impetuous malice is a - mi : erable'substitute for prudent firmness, arid we think it *ill only serve to make the Fugitive Slave act more acceptable to every loyal`citizen of Massachusetts.—.Y.

As to the courage of the Vvrty, it has frequently proved to Mr. Wilmot that it does not fear Will or the fanatics who follow him ; and ns touching - the idea of . pelseention, we ..present .the following from sthe Looming Ga ::ette, one of ttie ablest Democratic organs in the Stitte: • * * "The Bradford Reporter, a Black Republi can paper', on the strength of a rumor that such a bill would be offered; last week broke loose against it in a fury that spread over two columns of leaded Long Primer, the gist of its cry being that it is an_attempt to persecute Judge Wilmot. But., as Judge Wilmot.'s term will expire on the first of December, the very- tirne -it is proposed to put the new ar raugemeut into kce, it neither logi4ates him out of office or inthrfems with his tights, more than those of any 'other citizen. The argu ment that it is persecuting a Judge.to change the boundaties of his district, after his term, of office has expired, does not strike es-a very 1 forcible one; nor do we believe it will carry conviction to any considerable number of people.. So long, then, as the. Treasury - can save over two thousand dollars per year by tho legislature changing three little judicial .161ricts into two reasonable sized ones, with out legislatibg 'any Judge out of office, and so long as a large proportion of the leading members of bar of Bradford county, with the assent of a goodly number of the peOple, pray for such a change, and the two Judges upon whom the additional labor will fall are willing to undergo its performance, it will be difficult to discover any impropriety in the Legislature passing the gill "offered by Mr. Smith. "Even if Judge. Wilmot's term did not ex pire on the first of. December, and the pro posed. alteration left him a Judge without a district, the public welfare would p,Ol ably be promoted by the change. It is openly lasberted by those who are urging the passage of the new law, that Mr. Wilmot "frequently' makes speeches arpolitical meetings.' during court week ;" "that he is, in his official capa city,partial to his political fi iend.." Of course, we cannot vouch the correctness of these as tions, because we have'never been in Brad. ford or that county ; but we do know that he divided his time in 1856 be tween making speeolieri fornemont and exer cid ng the duties _of-a Judge—thus 'istutnping the State," and at the same time "stumping the devil" with his-reckless regard of public opinion and common decency. And we know, too, that'by holding on to his judges ship, after'his nomination. last year, until it w is too late far a 'successor to be elected, and by coming off the s ‘ t . .ump,after his defeat, ar.d stepping at once upon the bench—through he assistance of a wearminded Governor— he exhibited a total lack' of appreciation of ,he dignity of the judiciary and the propriety- IS conduct which should character'z 3 ad udgel Aud these arc but a tithe of things he has done to unfit him fur the office he now holds." tnti•Lecoiuptou Victories.

The Result of Kansas Election for State Officers. _ WASHINGTON CITY, March 10, I'BsB. EDITOR WARRINGTON STAR:--Siri As there has been great anxiety to learn the re sult of the lute election 'for meiihers of the State Legislature, under the Kansas Consti tution now before Congress, I think it proper to • state that recent information, through ' Governor Denver and others, leaves no doubt that the returned vote from the " Delaware Crossing" precinct, in Leavenworth county, should, be 'rejected, and that certificates of electron should be issued, without reference to the vote of that precinct. A month -ago I was put in possessiotr of a newspaper containing what purported to be the affidavits of the judges of election at that, fitecinct ; arrd in a communication to the Un ion, I immediately stated that if the facts contained in said affidaiits were-presented to me in an authentic and reliable form, I should be governed by them in determining the result of the elettiOn in Leavenworth county. Although .I have not received any reply to my letter to Gov. Denver, yet from various sources.of information, I am left in no doubt as to the statements of the irrtlges of election at that precinct; and I shall, therefore, issue the - certificates- of eiectink to the persons having - the 'highest number of totes inLeav• errworth county, irrospectiveof the "Delaware Crossing* precinct: - I regret to add-that this decision wilt give the control of Krinsas,to a party which I-view as the enemy of peace and good order, the'' , Constitution awl laws of the Union. .1.

Barnard, residing at No. 103 Beacon street, had attired herself fur the purpose of_attending the fair at the Music Hall. Her grandmother was the. only person of the family heAdes Mina P., who was at home. Miss Barnard, at the time of the catastrophe, was sitting in the back drawing -room, where her grandlnother bad but a few minutes previous left her to go to another room. She had been absent fiom the room but short. time, alien she was alarmed by le screaming of her grand-daughter, and imme diately hastening to the room, she riled her standing in the middle of the roam with- her clothing on fire. Seizing a rug she attempt ed to smother the flames, but Miss B: being so much excited, rushed from the room down stairs to the kitchen below. Her rapid flight camel the flumes to gain peat headway, Miss -B. all the while inhaling the fire, and she fell upon the kitchen floor, where death soon relieved her from the agony of pain. . The servants in the house, instead of at tempting to-relieve her, ran from the bott-e and alarmed the neighborhood; When Dr. R. \V. H, !brook, who 'resides in the immediate vicinity, promptly . repaired to the house, but all efforts to save the dying , girl, proved un availing. The coachman in the employ of B. G. Boardman, Esq.. being near the spot, went into the house and _found the young lady's clothing burning, which Le succeeded in ex•inguishinz. Mr-s Barnard Was horribly . burned about the lice, 'head, aria,. and other portions of her b Ay. It is hot known exactly- how her clothing took fire; but it is suppbsed that she ,rood in trout of ;be fire, arranging her hair, %% hen her wollen dro-s first ignited, which quidtly communicated to other portions of her dress, at d before the young lady was aware of it, she was in flames. At the time of the occurence of the sad affair, Miss B. was awaiting the arrival of a a'antleman who was !o escort her to the- fair at the Music Hall, where she intended to meet her mother and a large number Of ac quaintances. The news of the shocking affair cast ii gloom over many, and almost pros trated her father and her mother', who, hut a short time before, had left her in the bloom of youth and health. Miss' Barnard was twenty-ono years of age; loved and respected by a large circle of friends, who will deeply mourn her sudden and on timely death. DESPiRATE ATEEMPT TO .letter from Vandalia, 111., _dated March, oth, says: "On Friday morning last our town was thrown into quite an excitement by a rumor that a large- mob were congregating at the Bluff, about two- miles from this town, for the express purpose of hanging Beach. The Sheriff; Akin Evans, becoming convinced that such was the fact, immediately issued a sum mons to all lawabiding citizens to hold them: selves in readiness to repel in case any at tempt should be made to break open the jail. At about 71.- in the. evening the church bells announced the fact tlnit the mob had arrived. They, marched in double file to the door of the jail, which, after a few minuteconsults: tion, they stormed. Too much credit cannot be awarded Mr. Evans for his straight-for , ward manly course. Twice - or thrice did he repel the- mob, and. stood against the door of Beach's cell until be was literally dragged away by the mob and held,'but getting loose wens' immediately back to his station. The lock of the cell was struck eight or ten heavy blows with a hammer,• but did not yield:— The mob still cried loudly to hang -him— that nothing but his blood would satisfy. They were headed by a brother of the mur dered man. The origin of the excitement was a report having been circulated that , the jail was not securely guarded, and that Beach had abundant chance to escape; that the jail was not safely guarded at night ; he., which we know ourselvesto be an erroneous idea, for there has been a guard over him night and day ever since he has been confitv ed. • After squabbling for some time ; . anenu; merous appeals blaring been made to them, urging them to let. 69 law take its course,- and promises on the part of the Sheriff that he should- be securely guarded by men of, their own choice, their excitement gave place to-their better-sense, and about eight o'clock the Sherifrpersuaded them to adjourn to his office, and where a few moments before all: was noise and clamor, was now silent a 8 the . churchyard. Too much praise cannot bo be stowed upon our most worthy and efficient, Sheriff for the manner in %chid, he did -his, duty. Commons, 0., March 18.—The 'bills to repeal the seta passed by theism.
