isa yonng lawyer and a "Protestant Irish
man." That ho is a ymn lawyer wo ran
readily imagine,, for no old Jaw ye, rr ..who has
a ronscienee, would hazard his reputation
by asserting thai Campbell is an able jurist.
That Iho writer is n "Protestant Irishman,"
does not seen lo uS' verv material lo the

Mr. Amergin has been indnslriumdy senr

found u single caso in which Judge Camp

In another column our readers will find
an able article in relation to Judge Camp
bell's qualifications for the office of Supreme
Judge. The writer presents o strong case,
such as must satisfy any one, who is not
wilfully blind, or obstinately prejudiced,
that Judge Campbell is not qualified for the
high station for which he has been nomina
ted. The truth is the Judicial question
should never have been trammeled or
coupled with politics. What has the ad
ministration of justice to do with a man's
political views? A Jude who could be
influenced by any political bias on the
llench, would be spurned by every right
minded and honorable man, and yet we are
called upon to vole for a man, whose in
competency cannot he questioned by any
intelligent or well informed man, simply
because he has managed to get the nomina
tion. As well might we select our clergy
man on party grounds, for they have just
about us much to do with politics, as an
limits! mil vnpcirliu! Judge should have in
the discharge ol his duties.
It is true, thai both parli-s have made it
a parly question, and we would say where
the candidates are in other respects equal,
there can be no harm in rupporting the
candid lie of your party. The democratic
tick.!, with this one exception, is made up
of able anil competent, men, and will re
ceive our support, though we might have
preferred other men to some of those who
have been selected. The qualifications of
a Judicial olfirer can only be judged of
properly, by those attending his Court, and
wdiat Would he said of any lawyer in this
district who would offer himself as a candi
date forjudge, if nearly the whole Iiarof his
district should oppose him, on the ground
of utter incompetency. These are ques
tions that suggest themselves to every re
flecting mind. A true democrat is a free
man, and does not fear to do what bis con
science tells him to be rigid and his duty.
He who has not suilicienl independence to
do so, might as well be a serf of the Rus
sian despot, as a republican.

have escaped our observation, in which the

thai such is not the Cunc with every one

says, "11 we should be so unfortunate as lo

Ciiossi.no tii k Atlantic in a Row. Boat.
A man has performed the feal of crossing
Iho Atlantic in a row-boat in Ihirly days. It
was dono in this wise : When Iho packet
ship Devonshire, from New Yoik, was one
day out at sea, dipt Ilovey detected sym.
plums of small-po.v in one of bis steerage
passengers. Do immediately had Ihe stern
boat, hanging from Ihe iluvils, made perfect,
ly m'ciiio and comfortable, Vemoved the
man into it, erected over Mm a tarpaulin
bouse, and in lhat boat the man crossed the
Atlantic, n?l lea7iiii$ it in, Id he reached
quarantine. Ho was led from Ihe captain's
table, recovered completely from the dis
ease,, wu well and ixv.ily when landed this
morning, perhaps more so-than his fellow
passengers, and rh restdl ef I'apl. Iro

man can boast of being the first person

is A B C law, which every student knows.
Neveilholess Judge Campbell admitted the
ceriiiicate.
The case went lo the Supreme Courl, and
tho louchstono" was applied and Iho '-base

candidate for the Judgeship of the Common'
Pica-, and therefoie rmif courts the favor
and inlliienco of Judge Caiiipbe'd, then aigu
ged slrouyly against the decision en lire
subject. So iudcleiisiblo was it thut I he
cuunst'l on Iho oilier sido abandoned Ihe
case, and did not alleu.pl to an stum n.lye
Campbell' opinion. Judge Bell, delivering
the opi-uiou of the Supreme Courl, re ntl'rir
med tho welt known doctrine that judg
ments of justices of ihe peace are tint re
cent, and cannot bo proved by exemplifi
cations, even if the certificate aie correct j
but there aj an additional defect, because
the certificate uf tho County Jude was not
appended. Thus thu ;touchi.loiio" was ap
plied, Judge Campbell proved to bo igno

reversed.
