FELLOw-CiTiZEKs: '^n the 10th of August last. |l was nominated by a Defhqcratic Convention held tat Bowline-Green, for the ofW of Judge of the 6th Circuit. Since, as well as before that time. 1 was numerously solicited by voter* of all parties, to be a candidate for thBt alfice Sonie weeks [since I accepted the invitatiooavand .nomination, and am now a candidate. Undei\strong convic* tions that Judicial office ought notNo be sought after by a resort to the usual course ofxjectioneering, I determined neither to make ipeefches, nor write circulars while occupying my pre seta, position, and so informed my Competitor, MHeve the people capable ol deciding upon my quali

tions without urgent solicitations on my part

M* VM A^AA M, V,I «.

The Lawyer? living in Bloomington and Martinsville requested, him to become a candidate, and at the same time recommended him to be a suitable person to fill the office. This, "seconded by numerous friendly assurances from citizens of the district without referenceJq.party" put. hjtp. .upon the track as a candidate..

We are not fit for the office. If such a nomination flf itself introduces party politics into the Judiciary, then Indiana is fn a deplorable condition, for the 'Candidates fur the supreme bench—whether whigs

Or democrats, have all been nominated by political party conventions, Certainly neither party intended that *party politics should enter into the Supreme Judiciary,' nor do 1 believe that any such results will follow. ButJ if in this both parties have sinned, and my competitor is right, why does he teach one tiling and practice another. He proposes to vote for and atd in electing some of the Supreme Judges who hate been nominated by party conventions, and yet asks the voters of this circuit to condemn the very things he practices. The differenco. in principle, consists in the fact that it is the I Lawyer's bull has gored the farmer's ox. 'The case being altered alters the case.'

I was nominalcd by delegates chosen from sis out of the eight counties of the circuit, without any solicitation or interference on my part and this nomination was also seconded by 'friendly assurances from citizens of the district without reference to party.' The difference then is not in our'friendly assurances,' but exists between the Lawyers o( Bloomington and Martinsville on the one side, and the Lawyers, Doctors, Mechanics apd Farmers who composed the convention on the other aide. It cannot be pretended that the members of tho Convention who nominated me, do more in making 'politics a trage' than my worthy Competitor's Lawyers. If it is, I shall refer that issue to the voters iof Monroe Bnd Morgan*counties. Let them decide [it.* The objection then must consist in the fact lone that my nomination makes or tends to make parly Judge of me. I am not conscious of the act, it' it is so, that tho nomination produced any (foot upon me. I am not more or less a democrat han 1 was before my nomination, and I do not becve that my Competitor underwent a change for want of it. Both I trust-are or ought to bo Constituted of sterner stuff than this. Ifwo are not—

DEMOCRATIC SONG.

"Ok, Satanitah.

I had a dream the other night when fcl! around was still, I dreamed I saw old 'Pnltepec a-sliding dorn the hill Tbe "hasty soap" was in his hand, the "fire wast in bis rear," His free-soil allies wouldn't stand bat scattered far and sear.

Chorus—Oh, poor Greeley, don't you spit on me, I'm going up Soft River, With the platform pn my kpee. The silver greys were laughing loud, the eftvtheni whigs were glum, While "Godlike" Dan sto&d cold and proud, not like the drum Some strained themselves to raise a

Thfc

duties of my office would have prevented me from taking a different course, if I had desired it nor would I now address you. but for the reason that my Competitor has very recently published a circular in which he maintains that the question, "Ought party politics to enter into the Judiciary," is at issue in the election, and invokes the people to decide it. He condemns, in just terms, a party* judiciary and leaves it to be inferred without directly charging it, that 1 arm in favor of it, or that my election will promote that end. Such an inference is so repugnant to every feeling of my nature, that I cannot let it pass without notice. My worthy Competitor and myself have acted and voted with the democratic party. 1 have edited, and he yet edits a party newspaper. We have both been de--voted, if not warm partisans. The difference between us seems to consist more in the manner of our becoming candidates, than in every thing else, so far aa I can understand his views. It may then be well to inquire what that differenCo- is, and see if it will justify suoh a conclusion.

Especially do they feel under great obligations to htm for his powerful efforts in the Convention to exptfug that odious "test" from the Constitution of "New Hampshire, and for his efforts before* the people to have the amendment to the Constitution adopted whioh provides for striking out ihe religious test.

We have been presented in several meetings and at the last town meeting when this proposed amendment was submitted to the people, and having heard Gen. Pierce address the people in fayor of abolishing this "test any representation that he is opposed to striking out that test, or that he has not exerted himself to have that test abolished, must proceed eitfeer from profound ignorance, or malicious misrepresentation of the, pi an, his character, andebmift in '-L-" —-.VIM*-** (Signed)

Which horn of the dilemma will our very respectable neighbors'of the Examiner and Herald take! Gentlemen choose for yourselves. You havfc labored hard to produce the impression that Gen.

The day came,, but the Scott Whigs came up— missing! Notwithstanding every effort was made to get up a procession, three bands of musio being engaged for that purpose, the editor of the Union states that he counted fifty-six tpen and thirty boys in prosessionl It is said that Judge Conrad, one of the orators of the day, exclaimed/ when gazing upoji the solemn farce, /This' really looks ominous.

Tho Union party of Georgia have withdrawn the electoral ticket nominated by them a few weeks since. There & now but one Pierce and King

GREELEY has just returned from a tour through Ohio. He says that Hale will get 20,030 voles there, 16,COO which will betaken from Gen. Scott and 4,000 from Pierce. This settles the question as to who will carry the State* Jt will unquestionably go for Pierce
