After what has been said about office holders,
and the loud and often repeated deruncia.ions
against the administration, for giving the "spoils
to the vctors," it could not have been expected
that any 'whig" would seek Office, or that ''wbg'
than that of merit. s'is he honest ? Is he capa-
BILE ? Is he faithful to the Constitution 2" These
according to 'whigo professions, the only tests
that should influence them in all applications for
Office.


Hitherto, party considerations have had but little
influence in the elections for the Bench. But what
do we now see? We mortified TO say, that
gentlemen Of the profession "whig" lawyers
are now here, on the ground, electoneering not
only for the office of Solicitors, but for the Bench


Is it not humiliahDg to witness gentlemen
making interest, in person, with members OF the
Legislature, for seat as Judge on the Superior
Court Bench I? What will the people think OF
this, after hearing so much about ''Ottce holders,
and the "spoils Of victory, when they thus see so
many greedy aspirants for Office in the "whig"
ranks, and every office in the gift of the LegiSa-
ture bestowed exclusively upon men of the "whig"
party? If lawyer has not character enough to
be known, without coming to Raleigh to urge his
claims in person, then surely he is poorly qualified
for the office of Judge. Possibly those a; distance
may fear the influence Of the "Tippecanoe Club"
Remember the Cake! Whilst these Office seek
ers cut it, they will think of the absent!
