"TKIB TOO HAU PAM AWAT The Philadelphia Ledger adopts this X oeadiag terse motto of the philosopher fur the foundation for a good moral lecture ad-

to the present timet A certain mon-

requcsted the philosopher u givo him

a abort eeotonee, easily remembered, tbat would always alleviate the preeauxe of calamity and check the exuberance fof proeparity. He gave him the motto that stands at the head of this article This loo shall pees away." Thie motto, the Ledr thinks, ie well adapted to the present statt of oosnmercial affairs "Theee are times of anxiety no doobt to every man who is in business. Ho may hate cleared $10,000 last year. H is affairs may be, Mag, ha may be able and glad to anticipate soma of his payments, and buy in

his own paper at one and a half per cent a

month, bat than are hundreds of men on hit) books of whom he la doubtful, and soms of whom will doubtless mil, and perhaps the whole toil and anxiety of a year will leave him at the end poorer than they found him Bot tat him hold on and keep up a good haart These too shall pass away,' and to have held on peacefully and safely, to have weathered the storm and passed through a tornado like the present, is no slight mercantile honor. Ilia credit and character for sagacity will stand higher, the banks will take hie paper when they reject that of oth era la the next equally Urne, and will believe that if he can stand thie, hs can stand anything. And thsse time", like a Horm, will have cleared the air greatly, and will make itaafar sailing for those who are prepared

to set sail. ' Many art utterly unable to meet their engagements, soms by speculation, some by

Mr Buchanan flushed with victory, the

author of an address Nsokcn on the 4th of

last March, is a very differsut pnoit from the Mr Huehauta, a badgered President, in the Setember following On the 4th of

March; Mr. Buchanan, when speaking ol

Ksnass affairs, affirmed that it waa the Im

perativs ami indispensible duty of the V.

Government to secure to every resident in-

habitant of Kansas the free end independent expreasion of his opinion by his rote. The Buchanan of September, iu a letter to

some forty clergymen of Now Kurland,

eat the affirmation of ths iluohanau inau- ,

gurated on the 4lh of March ,and declare

that the federal authorities, army includod, will only protect that portion of the buna

fid inhabitants of Kansas which have

been made voters by the constitution which

about 2,000 of the aO.OOO voters in the Ter-

rttory will soon make.

Here is a backing down with a vengence.

In March every ooiui fid inhabitant of the

Uta election of Judges by the people. There is a universal admission that there is something wrong in our present system, and this wrong is generally attributed to the system of popular election. Oar neighbor of the New Albny Tribun says: The evils of an elective Judiciary are now beginning to ha seen and felt throughout a greater portion of the coun.ry. In oar own Suite we have seen mere party tool, without either dignity or ability, foisted upon the Supreme Bench, and a similar reeult has been effected in many other States. Prior to the adoption of the present Constitution Judges were appointed by the Governor for a term of save i years, provided they behaved well daring that time. Vacancies were Ailed, if not with partisans, almost Invariably by friends and adherents of the party in power Thie wae natural, and it ie a cus'Otn, or rule, which baa always prevailed in the mother Country. It did not work ill. Some of our boat judges, under the former system, bad beeu, previously to their elevation to the bench earnest party men But party for its own credit, and iu safety we may add, sought out good men for judicial appointments. The men elected ware of a class which understood the proprlties of po

rtion too well to continue Dolitioiane on the

bench and it would have been deaited an

ineult, personal as well as professional, to aaoribe their judicial aetion to politiea mo

tive, or bias, in ths last particular, on any

occasion And this way only aa It should

were not content to let it alone And not only the people of this State, bat to ths

Let the m not dee. pair, nor be timid nor ashamed, hut make a clean surrender, act honorably, give in a candid statement, pursue a perfectly just oourae, and comfort themselves with the assurance that 'this too will paaa away."

" Strange to say, there is no man in times like these, so apt to be desponding, hopeless and paralysed, as the man who can best afford to lose something, the largo capitalist ; The man who haa half a millioi invested in railway bonds and mortgages and shares, thinks these times aro never going to paaa away, and sells out all his investments at a heavy loas, to hoard henceforth what he oan in gold. If he would but remain quiet and

take his lot and fate calmly, aid without!

He who cat. bold on, and never will aell on a falling m trkat, will as a whole, greatly gain by hisco trage and persistency of character. These panics will paaa away. The railroad art there. The care are running. They may not pay very largely at first, but when men s expectations are moderated, they will pay what they earn, and enrich the surrounding country, which ia turn will enrich tbem and make their land valuable. " There are capitalists indeed, who have been and are alwaya prepared to operate in just such times as these. They hoard gold for the very crisis of a panic. They mean to discount notes, but not even atone and a half per cent a month. Nothing less than from two to three will serve them. Or they iatead to invest in stocks, but not until they have raised a sufficient panio and things have

The note they refuse to discount for A No. I at one and a half per cent will bo done for him perhaps from friendship at the bank next day, and the only note he will be able to buy at hia terms, will be that of some insolvent with forgad endorsements. " TbeVe is no such thing aa hopeloaa depression for this country. If, aa a people, we are food of going in debt, and have no doubt done so with amaxing facilty, yet, nevertheless, there is this vast difference br tweea the debts of this country and those of Europe, even of England, Her govern

Aadif he be mean, dishonest or dishonorable at heart, it shows itself out in auch times, and that never pa away. He may afterwards make money, but he is known as a rogue, and when fortunee have come and gone, and riches made to themselves wings and flown away, aa honest and aright mercantile character established and tried in times like these, will shine with mellowing tints, and lustre all through the setting tan ana the declining years of the honest merchant '

The independ

ence of the Bench, has in all times and

countries, even those under despotic rule,

been held to be the beat security both for

individual freedom and even-handed justice

The founder of oar American Constitution

doemed the appointment of Judges for life

and at fixed salaries, She best garantoe for

an impartial and able administration ef

justice. But this is far from being the only

point on which we have very widely depart

ed from their principles and practices

The election of Judges, bo far as its prac

tical workinga are eonoerned, ia still an ex

pcrimcul It has not worked as well as its

moat sanguine friends hoped, nor by any

means so ill as iu warmest enemies predict

ed. The danger now seams to be that it will place upon the Bench the mere tools

and instruments of political parties and

that our judicial decisions will soon come

to be nothing more than the decrees of a

political faction, shifting of course with

every change in the politics of the day.

For all of which we will hare to thank the

Democratie party

With due deference to our eotemporaries who hold such views, we must yet defend

the system of electing by the people At

er w bj least we are not willing to abandon it until

it haa had a longer trial. Elect by the peo

ple, but let the election be at a different

time from the general elections, and let the

terra be for a longer time, and let the ineum

bents be ineligible to re-election, and pay

Judges at least half as much aa a good law

yer can make at the bar. The defect lies in one or aU these directions Let us try such remedies before we abandon popular

It oecupie a line by itself "Now." Nothing could be so appropriate. Though claim

The creator and preserver of paper currency, it is now opposed to all banks, the most ultra in favor of the Wilmot proviso in '49-50, it note believes, with the President, that the constitution carries slavery into all the territories and wonders that any body ever doubted it, louddeclamera in favor of popular eovreignty, it note defends the Missouri usurpers, who disfranchised the settlers in Kansas, and upholds Gov.

they were bought of General Joseph Orr,

Hence wo see no impropriety in this decision of the Attorney General, but on the contrary, oan not see now the Attorney General oould have decided otherwise. But again, suppose that there should be no election, aa there will not be, have not the people of Indiana implicit confidence in Gov. frillerd? Did they not elect him to the office of Chief Ex

ecutive of the ntate, would they have dono so, if they had not sufficient confidouce in his abilities to discharge the various duties

devolving upon tbe ofnee? We suggest to

our fnend of the Jfsgsjaäsr. that he don t

elect these ' two Judges" in opposition to the appointees of Gov. Willard, but just wait a bit to cool off in the mean time, and all will be well. That is tbe idea exactly. That is what we supposed was intended by tbe refusal to allow the people to elect Did not the people elect Dictator Willard ? Is he not more competent than the mass s to choose Judges? Jost let him alone, Mr. Register, he knows what he is about, he does. This is popular sovereignty brought home. Long Mva tbe Dictatorship.
