the Judge nowhere, it is believed, exists. And

The qualifications of the Judge are undoubt

his intellectual aud moral constitution. How
ought or ought not the man to think and feel,
when clothed with authority ; to adjudicate
upon the lives, liberties, and fortunes of his
men?
The intellect or othe Judge ought to be corn•
prehensive and strong, laborious and untiring,
analytical told full of judgement. ills know

The Judiciary
Every crime or civil controversy, doubtless
owes its existence to deft:W.Ber virtue or know
ledge, or. of both, together. And even under
the most favored conditions of society, it has
ever been lound necessary to use the public
power, for its ponishroent or prevention, its ad
justment or redress.
In Pennsylvania, the Jadiciary is that depart
ment of the Government which is charged with
the legal.and equitable administration of jus
tice, and between the Common wealth and peo
ple, and among the people themselves. The
Pennsylvania J u diciary has heretofore borne
the highest character for integrity and learning.
The decisions of its Courts liave been regard
ed as of the greatest authority, both at home
and abroad. And the people should take care

stamping the money is the Most interesting of
all. Like almost every other part of the work,

Rail Road: to the Lakes
The following is an extract from a late letter
In the Sanhirry A inerican, dated at Philadelphia :
ere is at present cnitSit crable excitement
here in relation to a rail road to the Elkes.—
Philadelphians are beginning to wake up from
their lethargy on this subject by the efforts now
making by a rival city [Baltimore] to Wrest front
them this immense trade. Althotrg,h'thir Penn,'
sylvania Rid Road is a great and im'portant
work, many of them begin to see that the Sun'•
Miry and Erie road is after all the great enter: ,
prise of the present day." ,
The New York improvements, to die lakes,
and the Northwestern parts of Pennsylvania,
perhaps have done more to move Philadelphia
to a slow sense of her true policy, than the gal
lant efforts of Baltimore. The lake trade is lost
to Philadalphia, until she is still more fully
awake, and the People of Northwestern Penn.
sylvania are determined ro have a railroad con-'
section with die east, let it come from New fork

A Great Counfry.—They•have a little town
°Out \Vest," which appears to have been over'
looked by Dickens and other rlnglish trav'ellers,
and which is "all sorts of esti:ling place." In
one day recently they had two street lights,
hung a man, rode three men out of town 'on a
rail, got up a quarter race, a turkey shooting. a.
gander pulling, a match dug fight, hadpreach
ing by a circus rider, who afterwards ran a foot
race for apple jack all around, and, as if this
was not enough, the judge of the Court, after
losing his year's salary at single handed poker,
and whipping a person who said he didn't mi.
derstand the game, went out and helped to lynch
his grandfather for hog stealing.
Imprisonment fur Debl.—On the morning of the

u n der the new constitution, which went into c!.?
feet that day, they ought not to be discharged.- -
The question was submitted. without argument.
and the Court decided that the deb Mrs must be'
discharged. The new constifullOn says no per.
