ELECTIONS.

from North Carolina wllicll lend lis to
guess that the Democrats have given the
‘.l.§.l‘lO‘,‘i7—_L\-l_<)[l‘lil'l:,-gs a pretty severe thrash-
ing. Henry M. Shaw, Dcm., present.
member of Congress: from the 1st Dis
trict, appears to be re-elected. He had
only 87 iiiajorlty in 1853. In the 2nd
District Tllomas Ruffin, Dem., is re-elec-
ted. In 4th District Braiicli, Dem., is
elected by :1 large majority, reported at
2,700 in the 7th Craige, Dem., is re-
elected also by a large majority. In the
3rd District, Wlnslotv, Dcm., is undoubt--
(idly elected. In the 5th, Kerr, VVh_ig,
present member, who ran as the Anti
K. N., candidate, is reported to be left
at home, though we have no figures to
prove it. From the 6th District. we have
not a word. In the 8th, the re-electioil
of Clingmaii, Dem., is considered :1 mat-
ter of course. At the last election the
tlelegatioii stood five Democrats and three
Whigs.
Teuiiesee shows still less promise for
tho “National” Know Notliiiigs Here
they iilaile :1 dead set for Governor, la-
kiiig up Meredith P. Gentry as their
candidate, and incorporatiiig the whole
\Vliig party at one move, From what
we can gatlier they gained :1 trifle over the
iisual VVliig vote in some parts of Mid-
dle Teuuesce, but were cruelly slaugh-
tercil in the VVest. Tlle re-election of
Gov. Joliusoii seems certain, He had
but 53,2-5S majority in 1353. Tliomas
Rivers, K. N., is said to be elected to
Coiigress from the will District, where
Stanton, Deni., got in in 1855 by (5 ma-
jority; and Zollikoffer, Whig and K. N.
.r'e-elected in the Stli. He had 651
majority two years ago.

The Judicial Refornr Bill.
ll. is our design in ‘this article to cxpose a
few of llic liilsehoods of the Aiil;i-Aiuoricttn
‘Press, in relation to the Jildiciury Bill. In
previous numbers of the Gazette. we llavc suf-
liciiiiiily pointed out the inconsistency of the
I-Im'l.ford Times upon, this siihjcct,—-till incoli
sistcilcy which tleuioiislmfcs that its late dis-
covcretl olijeclions lo the Act are liypocriliciil
and put forth for iilcrcly factions purposes.
But. we have before us an ediloriiil ortitlcd
" The new .liuliciary Bill,” which ll])])Q{ll‘C(l in
the Bl-iilgz-port Farmer, of Julie 20th,w1licli
for its ludicrous coiifiisiou of bluiidcring l':i.lsc-
lloods, deserves especial notice. The following
are some of the salient points in the :ii'l.iclc
alluded to :
“' To our llll(ll.'l'RLl1ll(llllg,‘“ says the Jvllrlllrr
lniili, “ the scheme appears to be :1 Weak in-
vontion, and must iitterl_v fail to ncconiplisli
the end for Wlllcll it has been piofessedly cil-
ricted. The aullzors of it have, of course. ll.’;"
urcd the results all out, and do not, prob:1bl_',j.
pretend seriously to believe it will succee-tl. *
" This is. probably, the real object of
the whole invention, to place the Courts pm‘-
intlnent-ly iii the hands and under the control
of tho. Know Notliiug Ol'di21'.”
Now for tile f:1(‘.l.‘4. 'I‘lie"'nllIllor.c" of fill‘
Jiidjciitl Rcfnrln Bill were the Judici:1r_v Coin-
mittee. After sacking tvliiitover nids could
lie nll"o1'dcd tllmu from other Bills 1'1.-ferrerl
to their colisitlr-ration. from Bills flint liar]
been before former Lcgisliduresi. and from
ucqiiirements, they friiined and reportr.-d the
Act. The Lav.‘ 1l‘lGl1]lJL'1'S of that Commit-
tee rrere the two Chairmen on the part of the
respet-tive Houses. and E. Spencer of Middle-
totvn, Judge Blackmail of New Haven, and R.
D. Hubbard of Hartford. Tlie Chairmen both
belonged to the Aincricztn Party. Mr. Spencer
was not it member of the American Order, or
Party either, as the Farmer in the same article
falsely asserts, but Cl. Democrat who voted for
Mr. Ingbam and the entire Democratic State
Ticket. in the Convention of the two Houses.
Judge Blackmail is the acknowledged leader,
and hit. Hubbard one of the foremost of the
Anti-American Party of Connecticiit. In the
preparation of the Judicial Reform Bill all
these gentlemen assisted, and not-till ajter if
was reported and the party-Wires pulled in
opposition to it, did one of them, in Committee
meeting express fl. syllable of dissent to any of
its provisions. Nay more ;—from his high
position in his party, Judge Blackmail was
pnrticiilarly consulted, and at the last meeting
of the Law members of l.be Committee, after
the Bill was drafted in maniiscript, and before
it was priiilsed, Jiltlgc Blitckman was ])I‘CS~"lll
all it four liours’ session, in which the ivliolri
Bill was read over, section by section, and
scrutiniscil lilie byline, and he, then and there,
coincided witll the other members of the Coin-
mittee ill reporting the Bill in every part and
tlltlc precisely as il: was subsequently printed
and passed. And never, during more than
four weeks tllitl. the Bill was in course of prep-
:11'atioli_. did it single member of the Coinuiitt-cc
indicate any idea of opposing or voting
against the Act. The report of the Com-
mittee was iinderstoorl and was stated by the
Chairmen in the two Houses to lie iili:tni'
moiis, and no nlnnilmr of tile Committee ever
Illllliflll it.
Bill; possibly the F'arm.rr man would impli-
mittee as the persons who sought the “object”
spoken of in the foregoing quotation. As we
have said, among the “ ai1tbo1'.s” of the Bills
—tll:1t is the Law rucnibers of the Jiidiciary
Couimitteo,—-only two, the Chairmen, belong‘
ed to the American P:1i'l.y. ltivns perfectly
noicirioiis, at the tiiiie, that lllosc two geiifle-
men, one of Wllmll was of Whig, lllc (il,l1c-1', of
Free. Soil riiitecedelits, were the most stren-
uous iidvocalcs of keeping the .ll1(llC‘li1l‘_V out
of the strife of‘ politics, by electing two of
the four new Judges from among the support-
ers of the p1‘e‘3i'31‘lt National Administriltiou,
and two from the opposition. They believed
such it coiirse to be rigllt and just. and hence
supported it. The Farnier mail says that it
was “the Know Nothing Democrats." who
claimed the division of the appointments. The
l'oi-cgoing statement is it sillficieiit reply to the
insiiiiiat-ion. and ll0W much of truth is contained
in llio whole qliotzltiou wllicli we llave made
from the .Fl'II‘7)l(‘7’ may be readily nsoi-rtniuetl
from the above plain narrative of facts.
The Farmer man goes on to say inreference
to the uppointuieiit of Jiiflgecz, and of Rh‘.
Waldo in coillicction lllc-rewitli, " that though
liigllly qiiillilied for the office. it would have
been 8. discredit to receive it from such linnds.”
Of Mr. Spencer, who was once put in iiomlui1-
tion and deciiiicd, he f1(l(lS: " Mr. Spencer has
declined to accept. the appointment," and “ has
>hOWIl more sense than we expected of him.
seeing that lie is :1. member of the dark lantern
Order.” ,
The Farmer‘ is utterly unable to shake off‘
its inveterate habit of falsehood. Mr. Spencer
is not. and never was :1. member of the “ order”
or in any tvnyitlcntified with the American
Party. r‘.li'. Waldo and Mr. Seymour were
elected Judges through the untiring efforts of
Americaiis, as well those of Whig. as of Dem-
ocratic anlccctlenls. ll; was done as it matter‘

felicitously enough, the “milky way" of our
journey. The traveller here has abundant‘. as-
surance that the farmers of Rockland and Or-
ange Counties “Can” “Plank I/‘la Tin,"
well as cover the plank with tin cans. It is it
matter of record that :1 single train in :1 sin-
gle day‘has carried 80,000 baskets of Straw-
berries and 30,000 quarts of Milk over this
end, of the road to New York. The iron in-
terests of this section of the road is by no
means unimportant, and with the heavy freight
of ores, c:1stiugs,&c.. must be our-. source of‘
great revenue to the Erie ltoqd. At Ramapo
is the old “Augusta Iron Works,” where
among other things “lung sylie," the immense
iron cable thrown across the Hudson at West
Point to check the advance of the British flcct
tvns forged. A joint stock company. we no-
lice by the papers, is now engaged in fishing
up .t_liis immense mass of iron. liopiiig to make
rl.“spcc-" out of its heavy links (weigliillg
something like 100 pounds each.) But desola-
tion iiud the walking spectre of the Tariff of
’46 are the prominent objects of View after all.
Large Iron Works, Furnaces and Mills instead
of adding strength to their lusty siuews from
active use, seem. as has been aptly said, liken
giiiiit in consumption. When will our govern-
ment and our government makers see the pro-
priety and necessity of itlfording :1 living pro-
tectioli to American .\I:1l1uf':1ctiii'es.
