OFFICIAL ISTEEFEREN NcE.--For Chiel Jus tice RINGo we have ever entertained highre- spect, and kind personal feelings. Itis with no feelings of pleasure, therefore, that we yield to a sense of duty to the Democratic party--to our regard for fair dealng-and to our respect for. the purity of the Judicial er- mine, in calling attention to the part he has played in our recent county canvass. We are informed. upon unquestionabe authority, indeed, one of the Whig Judges of the election proclaimed il from the polls,-that Judge RlNGo took it upon himself to decide what was the law in regard to the qualfca lion of certain voters, which decision was moi only contrary 10 la1o Gnd justice, but was used with injurious effect against the Demo cratic party. That it was used to the injury of thc Democratic party, was put to open and shameful proofa the Market House precinct, in thls city. And that t was made to be so

 used, is likely to be the opinion of those who

 candidly judge of acts from their circum stan-

 ces and the inevitable consequences which

 result from them. Its for our readers to de-

 tamiae what chance there was for numer-

 ous class of Democratic voters to ob,ain their

 rights, with Whg-Fatisan Chief Jusiigeto

 eSpound the law for the special benefit of'hs

 brolhet-in-law, and Hhig-partisan Judges to

 That Judge Ringo is Whig, is, we be-

 lieve, known to all. That ilwas known b1 tue Democratic Legislature which elected him Chief Justice of this S,aie, we have no doubt But cid that Legislature expect him to enter the political arenaas bitter and excited parlisan--to interfere in electons-and to volunteer extra7judicial decisions (whether sound law or notJ 10 be used to the injury of the Democratic party3 This is question

 which very naturally suggests itself to the mines of all, ia eiew of the occurrences to winch We have alluded. Did the Legislature not, the rather, expect, and have a right to expect, that, while he should maintain his po- lilical opinions with manly independence, and give his yate us became freeman, he would. ai the same time, keep the ermine of his ju-| dicial robes above the dust of partisan con- irovefsy, and abstain from converting the high office so generously bestowed, into q party political engine, to iajure those who had conferred Ii upon him This, also, Is question which naturally arises and now. above all other ines, comments itself strong ly to lbe minds of those who will, in the eoufse of I few weeks, have, again, the be- stoWal of this nigh office.

 Judge Ringo'5 term.of office, as Chief Jus flee, expires, we believe, this day l. will have to he filled by the ensuing Legislature Will the Legislature, which will be Demo- cratic by decided majority, again elect a man who exers all his personal and official influence To break down the Democratic par ty-who is leagaed with hungry and des- peraleset of ambitious aspiranta to office, in deadIv,opposiiion to Democracy-and who, If elected, will yaunt il as an approval of all he has done, and an admission that there Is not a Democrat, in the State, capable of fill ing the office; Will Democratic Legisla- lure do this ' Il is not for Us to say what t willdo, or what ii ought to do. Our duty is performed in calling attention to such mat ters as come within our observation. affecting the interest of the Democratic party, and upon which a Democratic Legislature will have to act. This duly deyol,es upon us,a the Q gan af iha party, appointed and recog= a1ed, as such, throughout the state. l. is one which We shall perform, while we occu- py our pre- eat responsible position, fearless, iy and independently, without regard to per sonal cen eqneeces to ouI9elf or others.

 Letnot Judge Rago, or his friends, com plain that we thus arfaign him al the Ear of public opinion, and cast ceusure upon lis conduct. He has deliberately chosen the party with whom he will aet, and in whose favor he will exert lis influence, beth as a sna0 and Judge. Il is nothing 4nore than eyea handed justice that he should look to that party, and depend, alone, upon it for pa ronage and support. Il he has used all his exeriions to put wings into the Legislature. and keep Democrats out, upon what ground does he expect Democrats to put him into office, to the exclusion of Democrats, who are equally as well qualified as be is. in oth- er respects? .As man maheth his bed, so shall he ie,' Judge Rlngo has made his with the whigs. It is to be hoped that he will not be removed from it.

 TAKE THE CoNsEQuEycGs.-Let it Joe borne in mind, by all trus Democrats, that in the recenl elections, when, in tlis county particularly, the struggle was so close as all
