Hurrah for modest patriotism and brazen-faced fraud 1 I - i Unlimited Power, , lAn ordinance i was passed in the Convention to-day i ostensibly ; for the purpose of reducing the number of Judicial' Districts; to : nine.;: We charge that the Democrats intend an increase of the number of Judges and Judicial Districts ,; under : the provisions. of ; this . amendment. Why ?;? Because the ? amendment itself gives to, the - Legislature rthe power to increase the number to an unlimited extenti and the Demo- crats refuse to. adopt amendments restraining: the ; Legislature :in thi respect.?MT .Kingi of iLenpir,; ot tered to iamendii t Ws jbrdinance, by providing- that such increase should in noL case isxceed itwej ve i Jstlcjs.

The revolutionists are beginning to show 1 the cloven foot too plain , for, their own success in the end. , ..r . ... : They . exhibited too readily: the fact that it is their purposetp hand to the people forratificatibri & sugar coaled Constitution, under, the pro- visions or wnicn,tradopiea,tne most sacred .rights pf the people can be destroyed, and no one can truthfully deny the fact"that the whole policy of the Democrats Is J to depri ve the masses or a voice in me control oi the government.' Here is in fact the evidence .to sustain what we say. When the ordinance ; giving the power to the Legislature to estab lish such courts as it may see proper, with jurisdiction only Inferior to that of the Supreme Court was be fore the Convention, Mr, Manning, of New Hanover, offered an amend ment tb the effect that If new courts were icreatedi the qualified ' voters' f residing;' ? within1 sHheVt Jurisdiction J should elect all of the ofilcers of the &ame.; The Dempcrats; voted thl ' pbpositloii down. Then here is the ! state of the case; they give' the j Legislature the power U 'esbllsh as! many new courts' as it may feel disposed With jurisdiction equai 'tci ' ifjnot greater than that of the' pre sent Superior Courts, they refuse to afiow the people to elect the Judges -; and other officers of these new court?, tb,e consequence is that the Lcgisla ture has7 the unqualified 'power to destroy the whole system lbf- an . elpctive j udiciary Jt is true there, must . remain !Mlne dlstriets fbr wbich jiidges.j will ' thak . elected,4 but under this amendment all" of the" orifrlnal Jurisdiction belonlhor to trie Superior 'Courts 'can be given t6 the newCOur'th'judgesof 'which . are to be appothteti by the Leilsla- V'1 ture. ( Then what; good will, ii .do ' tlie people of the .State to go through-ll ' the' Idle form of electing j J uclges 0f courts whose jurlsdlctiori. has. been ' f ousted by other tribunals. Further' than this. these 'amendments aio 1 ' intended to take away the right of 1 ; the people to. elect Justices of tho' ' Peace, who can exercise the poweis 1 1 conferred upon them by the present Constitution. These ordinances most certainly look to the re-estat- f lishment of the system of old cOinr ' , ty courts, and judging from the ae 4 tion of the Democratsi'.it is ; tnelr , intention ,to restore this j udlcial V, nuisance, for they voted' tjiown ah amendment introduced , oy;j mr. , .
