New YORK CONVENTION. We are glad to
learn from the New York correspondents of the
National Intelligencer, that, in the State Con-
vention now sitting to revise the Constitution
of New York, "on the subject of the judiciary,
party politics will, in great measure, be tor
o .tten by the great mass of the members" In
fact party feeling should not enter into the for
nation ofa State Constitution, IN any shape,
but most especially in reference to the judiciary
for, if courts Of justice be moulded for party
purposes, respect for them will soon cease, and
the very object for which they ought to be, and
ordinarily are, organized, will be defeated. AS
soon as Judge permits party feeling to intiu-
ence him in his official duties, justice will be at
an end To prevent this we have uniformly
opposed making Judges dependent upon the
fluctuations of party, They should keep aloot
from party conflicts, and preserve their minds
as free as possible from all prejudice.


To remodel an old, or to frame new con-
stitution, requires great deliberat.on and the as
sistance ofabe, temperate and discreet men;
and these are not generally obtained, where, in
the nomination, reference is had only TO party
attachments. The best men should be chosen
whatever may be tine party to which they be-
long. 1t may be, that the people Of Maryland
will be called upon TO select members of a State
Convention, to revise the present constitution
in which case we shall be glad to see a
thorough amalgamatlon of partes-oach stri-
wing to produce such an instrument as will best
tend 10 promote the security and welfare of the
people.
