Nortkwestern Gazette and Jndge Perkias. One of oar candidates for Supreme Judge has been on the beach six veart . has participated in the decisions of

some two thousand cases, in at least one-third of which the opinions were written by him, and concurred in so far as known, by the whole coort. With all the Material thus furnished in his power, an obscure editor at Bloomirrgton, in this State a professed Democratic editor no Whig editor was green enough o do it undertook, three months ago, to perform rhe task of proving tha1 said Judge was incompetent to till the place he has so long occupied, with at least as much credit to himself and to the State as einer of his colleagues or predecessors. His last parx-r contains the result of his labors. Here it is, verbatim, italics and all : '' We mas-' call the attention of the public to the signiftcant fa, that while almost the entire press of the Democratic party in the State has assailed us with a zealovs unanimity that savours snore of abject subserviencj t discipline than devotion to principle, all have rtrefullu mud studiously forborne to accept our challenge, wherein ire offer to prove Judoe Perkins's incompetence from his own written examination in the Supreme Court: That, after all, is the great question in which the people are interested. What fairer mode of deciding this controversy can they ask, than the one which we propose? When Juogf. Perkins was exummeu lor aunmsion to 1 practice in the Supreme Court, he wrote out, with his I own hand, his answers to certain written or printed inI terrogatories in the law That examination is within ' the reach of Judge Perkins and his friends; let them I publish that, instead of abusing us, and submit the ques tion oi ins q.iaiiiicauoiis 10 me peopic. "Can they decline to do this, and yet ask the people for their votes ? Oh people of Indiana ! Can you be thus deluded and led astrav bv the infuriated goading of blinJ . and reckless party leaders? Is the shadow better than I the substance ? Do you esteem party names before your country? W ill you lollow the ignus tat urn ol & fraudulent nomination in preference to considerations of the public good?" This, then, is all that can be produced against the man who this editor admits, possesses " fair abilities,'' " amiable disposition,'' ' affable manners," and an ;nnimpeachable character. " Judge Peikins this is the charge made by this editor although he has well disi charged his duties for six years on the bench, yet, when i he was admitted to practice law, was not qualified for i the Supreme Judgeship, and hence he is not now. Let j us examine this Bloomington logic. A man that at one period of his life is not qualified for office, therefore j never will be qualified. The gentleman lately elected ' President of the State University, was not qualified for ' that office when he was first admitted as a student in College, ergo, he is now incompetent. A word about Judge Perkins's examination for admis sion to practice in the Supreme Court. We did not at ! first notice the chai se against Judge P., on that ground, ; We ueemeu- it t0o absurd and frivolous to merit 'attention. But as the Gazette editor has narrowed I Jown cnarge9 to thl8 specification alone, and vchc , -ently insists that the Sentinel .hal. say something about j it, we will endeavor to gratify him. As Mr. Hughes. i as we learn on inquiry, and as his extreme verdancy led lJ9 t0 suppose, never was examined for admission to j practice in the Supreme Court, we must explain it to him. fay Jud B,Rtkr' Dewey, and Sullivan, and by them admitted to tnu oar of the Supreme Court. We suppose, of course, that he was qualified, or these men would not have admitted him. His answers were in writing, and were, we presume, ! taken charge of by those gentlemen. We do not know I where they are, but we remember that Mr. Defrees pubi lished extracts from them in 1846, with the view oi defeating Jude Perkins's confirmation by the Senate V tbin' it is probable, therefore, that they are in the . . j. ... . . if j possession i1 iIr.

It looks odd looks bad. Judge Perkins is the equal of Iii competitor in every resp;ct. has the advantage of him in experience, has proved himself worthy of his place, and has been nominated by the convention of his party, according to its usages, and we shall wait and see whether the Democracy of Momoe will be led by the nose by Mr. Hughes into the support of bis Whig cmpetitor, or whether they will stand by the candidate who i is well worthy their support, and for whom their county voted in the nominating convention. Mr. Hughes is anxious that Judge Perkins's answers The scenes of 1844 are now being re-enacted. The Whigs who then sneeringly enquired "wao ll James A". Polk?" now, with the same manifestations of contempt, ask ;,ipo is Frankltu Pierce?" They shall know, ai.d the country will know before the frosts of November nip their last hop". It is suhVient to know that Frank tin Pierce is the Democratic candidate, and on the fourth day of March next, so sure as he lives, he will be the Democratic President.

For the Inditna State Sentinel. Ma. Editor : It is amusing to witness the dull and pointless a it of the writer for the Journal, in presenting with great apparent gusto, a series of blunders, on perhaps, intentional errors made by Whig telegraphers, in relation to a middle initial in the name of Gen. Pierce. Would it not be quite as interesting if he wonld treat his readers with a few geographical notes on the whereabouts of Madionville, a noted city not a hundred miles from Indianapolis, where " fuss and feathers" made a celebrated speech not many months gone by? LORENZO. Shall the Whig party be Disbanded! Such is the question discussed by the Louisville Courier the organ of the Scott party in Kentucky in its issue of Friday last. It takes tbe negative of the question, though it appears to be evident the Editor considers : himseU contending against odds. I he difficulty is anuv.paicu w a. .so ai me rruig is '.invention 11 CHllimore on the 16th inst. ft ii feared that unless the Compromise is deolared to be a finality, the Southern delegates will I snonae irom tue convention anu thereby make tho issue j on the part of tha Whigs, a sectional one. The Courier 1 advises as a proper way to settla the difficulty , that, in case the Convention deem it advisable to adopt tbe finality, tho North acquiesce, and in case it deem it inexpedient to say any thing on tho subject, then that the Whigs of the South acquiesce That wonld settle tbe matter, no doubt But will they do it? There is tha rub Cin Ena.

General Pierce and tke New Hampshire Democratic Convention.

The following, which we clip from the Washington Republic, the leading Whig Journal of the Union, we truit will forever put to rest the infamous slanders of the little Chickadee Whig papers about Gen. Pierce's disposition lo disfranchise Catholics. The Republic has tha (dependence and manliness to tell ibe truth. How many Whig Journals wilt follow the example' Wo shall see. " The allegation that the coarse of Mr. Pierce in the late New Hampshire Convention is open to any just exception on the ground of his manifesting any religious intolerance is utterly unfounded. We have referred to the proceedings of the convention, and find nothing that indicates any other sentiment than one entirely in harmony with religious freedom. Mr. Pierce was opposed to the recognition of any political differences among the 1 vanous sects of Christians; and we shall be much surprised to learn that he has at any time, in the convention 1 or out of it, exhibited any bigotiy or intolerance on j points of faith or conscience. Hard to Please. The New York Tribune in its news items, has the following : "There has been a great Temperance demonstration at Concord, N. H., where speeches were made by Neal Dow. Rev. E. H. Chapiu and others not including Franklin Pierce.'' So Frank. Pierce did not make a speech at this great Remonstration. Suppose he had, Greely wonld then have charged him wilh demagoguing it to secure the voles of Temperance men. But as he prudentlv made no speech, this flout is thrown out to preudice him With the Temperance Reformers.

From this list we learn that Gen. Franklin Pierce was in the battles of Contreras, Churiibusco, Mol ino del Rey, near Chapoltepec, near Belen. and at Gnrita de Belen. ETThe Boston Herald, a paper neutral in politics, has the following notice of Gen. Frank. Pierce: "General Pierce is a man of rather above the medium stature, with a countenance expressing determination, vivacity and energy. He is a very eloquent and accomplished lawyer, and his friendship is cultivated with eagerness by those who aic so fortunate as to make his acquaintance. A liable and unpretending in Iii manners, he is attractive to all who come within the sphere of his inline nee. and none know him but to love him. The com ' prehensiveness l his views, and the libaralily l his punciple, constitute him a hard.inan for our Whig friends to oppose, and to do this successfully they will be obliged to hand their standard to the noblest champion whom t! ey can w,ect jh a p Wirr.ARD addd the Democracy ...
