Which tie Volunteer some two or three :Weeld
• • since hefied.the contest would be conducted.
This too is the first offidial intimation we hitve
that Mr. Graham, of Carlisle, is to be the can
didate of our opponents for the Judgeship.-- ,
.The Volunteer and a paper in another county
have relieved the Convention of the bueiness
of. nominating!
The last shaft in the quiver of Cumberland
county Locofoooism is the stele , cry of aristoc
racy. When the character 'of a Whig is too
high, too,noble and irreproachable to be assail
ed on any other ground, it is invariably at,;.'
tempted to put -bim:doWn--by thi-stigma- of
aristocrat. It is su•Stele Ory, however, and has
, long since lost its effect with sensible voters.--
But as the comparison is hero distinctly mode
between the personal positions of Judge Watts
and Mr. Graham, We should like to be as dis
tinctly informed what it is that constitutes Judge
Watts an aristocrat and leaves Mr. Graham
free of that imputation. We only ask 'for in
formation and hope to bo gratified. Judge
Watts and Mr. Graham are both leading chi
. sons, as wo have been accustomed to regard
them—both leading members of the Bar—hoth
live in as comfortable way as they can in
.comfortable houses—but neither of them in as
ostentatious mansions as some other: . locofo cos
in-town. Now why is Judge Watts (who is a
practical farmer as well as a lawyer) to be call
ed nn aristocrat and Mr. Graham not an aris
tocrat? We must confess we don't understand
it, and wo want to be enlightened.
Does Judge 'Watts' superior legal abilitycon
ethnic his nristocritcy—will the Volunteer ad
mit
that? Do the community look upon Judge
Watts as less public spirited than Mr. Graham?.
Is he more selfish? Is Mr. Graham more warm
hearted, niece kind and ,benevolentthan Judge
Watts? Certainly no :ono who truly knows
them both will assert any such thing. ' Then,
too, where has - Judge Watts exhibited. any
thing on the bench thatis to bo stigmatised as
aristocracy ? From the day of his firstappear
mice on the bench, has he. ever been found
wanting in courtesy and respect to any man,
Whether rich or poor, highror low, who boa
ever appeared in Courtin any capacity, wheth
--erlawyerer juror{ vhether witness or epode
tor? Is not his manner uniformly kind, con
eiderate, patient and attentive? • Have our
young lawyers any complaint to make of him'
of want of consideration for their 'inexperi
ence: On the contrary are they not inspired
with confidence by his oourtcous attention?—
Gan any one complain of his making invidious
distinctions among the older members of the
Ber,-or-exhibiting-partiality-or-speoial-favoy
toward any? Have witnesses ever been brow
beaten or holdup to ridicule before him ?
Have jurors over been able to justly complain
of- want-of-rinipe . ct or . _ that - the law. has - not
been simplified or facto withheld? Have par
ties over found just ground to allege that the
mind of the Court has been unduly biased in
-the trials-ot - causes Few - Judges escapes eon
sure .on some or all, of these points, but we
may safely say that - at the end of Judge Watts'
two years on the bench he enjoys the deepest
_confidence and the highest personal respeot of
the entire Bar And cornmunityof his_. district.
His course on the bench has elicited the ap
plause of all but the land*, the turbulentand
the vicious, upon whom ho has been compelled
to inflict the punishment of the law.
Now, ash is understood that Mr. Graham
is to be the candidate of, our opponents, who
will Bay that ho is superior to Judge, Watts in
any personol or. legal qualification? Or bet
ter fitted by disposition :or temperament to
preserve good feeling between Bench and Bar?
Or that ho enjoys the confidence of the whole
community to a greater degree? We think no
ono will assert such claim for him. Then if
be is not superior to the present incumbent,
why make a change in an office which is
,not
political office, and in which a change may se
riously affect the interests -andreputation of
boy and every man in the community.? It is
absurd for the Volunteer to say that the pent
ocratio. party has great principles to advance
through the JUdiciary. It has not, and cannot,
honestly have. .If so why does not the demo
cratic party of Dauphin county combat the e
lecition of the Whig judge Pearson? The Ju
diciary has nothing to do with politics, endive
betide the day when the Judiciary commences
adiancing partizan doctrines. •
We know thatthere are scores and hundreds
of our political opponents who think with us
in this 'matter, and who are at heart opposed to
any change in the Judgeship. We appeal to
them to be governed by their honest convic
tions, and unless they can convince themselves
that Mr. Graham (whom we do not intend to
disparagO, is sUperior to Judge Watts, we trust
they will fearlessly and firmly coat their ballots
for a Judge in Whom they haim confidence and
in who's') hands every interest is safe..
THIISINKING lIISTORY.
The Looofoco papers, in carrying on their
determination to succeed this fall by an effort
to impose upon the credulity of tho people, are
now claiming that "to Goy. Shunk the people
areinclebted for the revenue measure called
the Sinking Fad."
We would not try to depreciate Gov. Munk
ono iota in the estimation of the citizens of the
Common Wealth, says the Harrisburg American,
but we will not consent that some shall be de
prived, of deserved credit in order that the

TY MILLIONS OP DOLLA.HS DEBT. The
people turned them out andPTirT IN GOVERNOR
JOHNSTON, and he haa commenced PAYING
OFF THAT DEBT. They laid henvyburthens
on the people, who work on remits, and hold n 9
office. Gov. Johnston has perfected meneures
to take off these bunions. Now they try to
coax, or drive the voters to put themln power
again. ,We are determined the people shall be .
made acquaitited with some of their tricks
while in power. -And,we elipll, therefore, oc
casionally expose someleaks which have!caused
Mr. Bigler's old ship to, sink so deep in debt.—
In doing so, we intend to ask some simple
questions of their .party advocates, and we
shall expect ansWers=the' people_ will expect
answers, and what is more, they will have art
direct and satisfactory 'answers.
,
First,then, we wish, the voters M.under
stand, that for many years the Clerk hire in the
State Department has been three thousand dol
lars. 'J; here was paid to"the Chief Clerk,• . slooo;
to a Recording Clerk, 'MO; to tittaedi&r
clerks, each $650 per year.. TIM duty of the
Recording Clerk was to record the laws passed
at each session. Tho other clerks, performed
the current business of the office, preptired the
laws for the printers, &c. Every year these
clerks were appointed to do this Work, and ev
9Fy year they drew their salaries out of the'
state Treasury. They took and kept tho mo
ney. Do the people knotithey did not do the
work? If they do not we can infant them
that when GIOV. Johnston came into office, the
laws of 1841-'2-T-'4-'5-'6 2 7--B—eightyeare
were UNRECORDED! Each year a clerk had
been paid for that work but it was left, undone.
FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
were pliindored from the tax-payers under col
or of a Clerkship. 'This is a stubborn fact. 4:.

the IVorili American propounded the following
interrogatives some time since, which, as yet,
remain unanswered, Bigler never yill nnswor
them, as by so doing ho Will deprive one wing
of his party of the means to gull,and deceive
the people. It in ever thus with loco-focoism,
fearing to meet the masses on a true and broad
issue, it makes its appeals to local passions
and prejudices, and thus cruelly.deocives and

Is Col. Bigler Prepared to repudiate his tote

Tim CONIYEC O FICUT COURANT OF JULY 10.
roll}th of July has been for years colt
"
brat d with more ardor and enthusiasm ,than -
the last. Whether the possibility or the tors
of our Present nationality, \ or the evils, that,
have threatened the Union 'or that the great
mess'and extent of our empire never before so
forcibly strpek the attentien of our citizens,
we cannot tell. But the fact is true flint more
patriotism has been exhibited, and men of dif-
&rent parties have felt themselves drawn nea
rer to ouch other Milpitas boon experienced
for along-time.- We presume, upon the cams
sion, that as much lion been said no was neces
sary upon-the blessings of the Union,,the
sire of ifi - perpotriityTtipoif the grentnes's of
our glory and the extent of our dominions,
and upon the future influence this notion must
o:demi over the whole worl4. There probably
was'no lack orsueh soul-stirring topics that
would commend themselves to the feelings or
the vanity of °Very. American hearer..
One thing, however, was studiously kept out
of view in all these patriotic effusions, end that ~
'woo those considerations which fro lade as 'a
• nation for the proper henefit and use the
blessings.(lod lifts given us. . •
Under this topic too need such an estimate ef .
our advantages as would produce putt-Wino!'
Discontent will'onr present condition is 'be- -
coining a national trait. It lies lit the htisis of
BOITIC of the enterprise and of all the restless
nag 'of the - Vallee character. it is tile. foun
dation of that mad ambition: which hogins•to
show its bolerol and polluted influences upon.
our nattire. Were we contenteti with our pros
sent possessiOns, With the native} and proper
growth of our,power, with all the means' . and
Appliances which Providence has given us of
being a benefit to.the world and a cheek to
the progress of tyranny, we should, not wit- .
ness such enronchtnents on the rights of weak
er
Powers as this generation have seen, or midi'
plans formell by so many leading men for tho
invasion of neutral territory, or such yearn
ings-aftcr the annexation of every thing an
nexable within our grasp... Were the nation
contented with the natural progress of, things,
I the doCtrine of "manifest destiny" would ne
ver be heard among us.-'
We need, as n nation, store virtue--
a greateriturivietter - subjection to Inve. Clint°
is becoming too common amongst us. Lars
are yearly becomin'g less stringent and -
cious in putting down vice. A disregard to that
elevated standard' of pure public morals, which
once was our glory and our safeguard, is be
coming more powerful every day. By the de- •
struction of public - morality, the loss of public,
industry and thrift will-follovr. — Whilo wo-stre—
manifesting to tither nations the apparent in
fluences of a free Government; mir'orrneendi
don will too surely beeeme the freedom, of li
centiousness; not of law. Amidst such a de
terioration of public morals, we soon ellen feel
the influence of the demagogue; who can much
mort readily control the vicious and the-de
-proved-than-the upright and pure. The influ
ence of the demagegue, With his corruptions,.
will float us full surely to the brink of the cat
aract that has cngulphod every former repult
lic;_for_the-domageguedin4-41e-military-des=
pot, in a nation like ours, are but succeeding
steps of the' Annie downward progress."
We need, and it is of immense importune°
to us in our present situation, stich a patriotic
.feeling as will, at one glance, take in the inter
-eats of the whole land. ; SeCtiOrial viAws %and
prejudices and interests diride us too much.--;
'We often speak of the North, 'the South, the
'Welt; as if they Were separate nations, with .
distinct interests, anti different_ principles of - .
goVernesent. To be prosperous'and happy 'as
one conzmunity,wo must feel as one nation.
