Jitdge Buckley's Circular.
• t
We have done Judge Buckley tho
justice to publish bis circular in our paper,
although it is well known that we advocate
the claircs of Judge Bell; and a pure and
independent Judiciary. It remains to be
&een whether that circular will be consid-
ered by the people as a satisfactory
vindication of Judge Buckley's integrity
as a man. We confess otir inability to see
Edgar A. m. Gray's better.
" I have hitherto argued, with what success it
may not become nse to decide, that because the
judiciary is a department of that political agency
called government, and because the legislative
and execut ive departments, of that same political
agency, should be expressly constituted with ref-
erence to political consideration*, the only con-
sideration homogeneous with the leading idea
that therefore the judicial department of this
political agency should be constituted with ref-
erence to similar considerations, and this is unan-
swerably true unless there be something in the
nature of the function, in the quality of the

merit on the part of a candidate for the
highest judicial station in the gift of the
people, to congratulate himself that he has
not been indicted fur the crime of perjury
by a grand jury of his country. It seems
to us that the very investigation of so hein-
ous a charge d>v such a tribunal, would
be enough to throw a damper on the a>-
, i atfoni of the humblest of our citize a
fur the humblest of our county offices—but
Judge Buckley is so overjoyed with the
result of the deliberations of the Grand
Jury of Montgomery county in regard to
tho charge of peijury against him, that he
even forgets the secrecy which the law
throws around such bodies, and blazons
their proceedings to the whole people of
the State, in the shape of hand-bitl circu-
lars. He does not attempt to advance one
single argument in favor of judicial nomi-
nominations ; and neither he nor the par-
lizan portion of the Democracy which
nominated him have attempted to answer
the unanswerable arguments against Judi-
O O
cial nominations contained in Judge Bell's
famous address to the people of Texas.—
We say, then, come forward and vote for
Judge Buckle}' for the office of Associate
Justice of the Suprenre Court, inasmuch as
he has not' been indicted by the Grand
Jury of Montgomery couuty for the crime
of peijury. If this be merit he will wear
the Judicial Ermine well. It will grace,
his shoulders infinitely better than it would

Judge Bell's circular—for it ia stamped
with a superior order of intelligence^ and
is replete with convincing argumenta of
the irreparable injury which they et omne
genus, are entailing upon the Democratic
party, by attempting to introduce a new
plank into the Democratic platform, upon
which the intelligent portion of the De-
mocracy will never be content to stand.
to redeem this department, this fractional subdi-
vision of government considered asan aggregate,
from the general law that controls the entirety."
The above is an extract from the cele
brated letter of Edgar A. M. Gray, of the
Beaumont Bar, to the lion. James H. Bell,
which appeared in the columns of the
Galveston Civilian, of the 8lh of June.
It is decidedly the richest and roost con-
vincing argument iu favor of Judicial
Nominations that we have yet seen. It
has been said by Addison that it takes a
vety sensible uiati to talk at any time sen-
sibly for a halt' hour on any given subject,
but that it must be said to the credit of
the ladies, that they can at any time speak
half a day upon nothing. The learned
representative of the Beaumont Bar is in
possession of the ladies,' gift to U* fallest
extent—he ft in fact a talking steam en-
gine, that suffers neither periods, colons,
semicolons or comma? to impede his pro-
gress. The English language is Eate ia his
hands—for so great is his respect for it,
that he uses it for its own intrinsic worth
and beauty, without any regard to the
sense or matter which it might be the in-
strument of conveying to the mind. We
have thrice read the above extract careful-
ly aud deliberately, and still we are unable
to get the hang of it. The language is so
prolific and the philosophy so deep, that
we confess our inability to fathom it; and
we leave the author with assurances of
Judge Buckley and Mie " Grave
C barges."
* * * •• In fact the charge as made impu-
ted to me the commission of crime of the basest
character. Such being the case, I deem it proper
to take no step that might forestall the ends of
justice, and determined to remain silent until
after the Montgomery District Court, in order
that the matters connected wjth said suit, in
which I participated as counsel, might be fully
investigated by the proper tribunal."
The above is an extract from Judge
Buckley's Circular to the people of Texas.
We should like exceedingly to be informed
how Judge Buckley knew that the "crime
of the basest character," which he savs he
was charge<^jvith having committed, would
ever be investigated by the Grand Jury of
Montgomery county, if Judge Buckley
also knew there was no foundation for the
charge. Did Judge Buckley himself pre-
sent the charge to what he calls the il ap-
propriate tribunal" for their investigation
and verdict on the evideuce ? If not, how
could he, conscious of his innocence, rest
upon his oars against the current of such
a charge, with no assurance or guarantee
that the Grand Jury would ever make the
investigation ? He affects, in his circular,
to have been ignorant of the spec'fic
charges against him, and states as a reason
for his silence hitherto on the subject, that
there was no responsible person to come
forward and profer the charges. Now we
ask Judge Buckley if it. was not expresslv
stated, months ago, in a letter to the
Houston Telegraph, over the signature of
"Justice" that the person resided in the
city of Houston who would at any time
father these charges, and sti.'I Judga Buck-
ley made no reply, and was .satisfied with
the backing of a self-constituted politico-
judicial convention, until his congratulatory
address to the people appeared in print
upon his miraculous escape from the
clutches of the Grand Jury of Montgomery
county. 'Tis strange indeed that a candi-
the profoundest regard, a half initinetive j date foT the oSwe of Supreme Judge, should
and half intuitive feeling that Judge
Bell is utterly demolished.
We have no doubt that the editore of
the "Telegraph" and "State Gazette'" have
found time to read the epistle of Mr. Edgar
A. M. Gray ; although, according to tleir
own statements they had neither the leisure
nor inclination to read the address of Judge
Bell to the people of Texas. The firmer
is a philosophical embodiment of all the
argument of these gentlemen iu favor of
Judicial Nominations: and we wouid
earnestly recommend its issuance in crcu-
lar form, for the eusuing campaign.' k*
great merit, as way be seen from th* fore-
going extract is, that the author eminentes
his views wtth su^h perspecuity and plati-
nes?, that "he who rutis.inay read -nin
fact.jyon are bound to ruq in ordj
It, for the iratfflSyHSrfow-.- uu stopping point;
and thus it is eminently fitted to the taste
and capacity of those men who have

thus speaks : " Sincc our last, the weather has
been favorable to the growing crops. We have
had rather more than the usual amount of show-
crs, for field labor in the prairies, still the ap-
pearance of crops is very promising. Wheat and
oats look remarkably well; corn is not so for-
ward as we have seen it at a corresponding pe-
riod of the year, but the plants look vigorous
and healthy."
O* We have in our office from the garden of
Mrs. G. W. Murray, says the Fairfield Pioneer,
a beet Measuring eighteen atad a half inches in
circumference, and a snap bean seven and a
quarter inches long. Any one that can beat
this beet, can beat any beet that we have found.
The bean is no " small potato," if we aie any
judge of " sqaps."

the editor of the State Gazette?
Answer—Because it augurs well for
Judge Bell's election.
Boot's Democratic Mr ethic.—The silly efforts
of some of Judge Bell's over-zealous friends,
down in his own immediate neighborhood, to
make the impression abroad, that a respectable
number of Democrats arc in favor of him bv
getting up f wo'or three county meetings, is sim-
ply ridiculouH. And we would 'suggest by way of
giving interest to their meetings, a monkey a;nd
organ be added to the programme, with the un-
derstating that the performance b* free of
charge.—State Gazette.
The above suggestion of the Gazette to
the Democracy to procure an " Organ'*
is a good one. The Gazette in former
times was considered, the " organ " of the
party, but of late years its notes have been
so discordant as to produce nothing but
confusion in the ranks. The consequence
is that the party is without an "organ,"
until they shall select an instrument which
will restore harmony and give more general
satisfaction.

SOW We notice an effort being made in
some few eounties of the State to have
Democratic nominations for county officers.
The system' iü the most absurd and' ridicu-
lous one we ever heard of. Who can tell
us the Democratic veiwof running a line
through a cane break ? Who can tell us
the Democratic mode of filing a suit or
copying a petition or issuing a writ in the
office of the Clerk of the District Court ?
Who can inform us of the Democratic
plan of taking an acknowledgement to an
insrutmentof writing, or recording a deed
in the county clerk's office ? Who can
inform us of the Democratic mode of
serving a subpoena or citation, or executing
a capias, or keeping a prisoner? Who
can point out the Democratic plan of
asseseitig and collecting lands, or of selling
a man's property for the non-payment
thereof Í What is the Democratic view
of the probate of a dead man's will, or of
the grant of letters of administration, or of
tha appointment of an overseer for a road,
or the establishing of a ferry, or the erec-
tion of a bridge ? Do you giv K upt If
you do, quit your nonsense about nomina
ting men of a particular parly, because of
their party predictions, for county offices.
There never was a party that did not have
enough of intelligent men within it to
frown upon such a system, and to prevent
its becoming general. Whv then tolerate
it all ? It is worse than child' play—and
like political nominations for judicial
offices.it is introducing a new and dis-
tracting element fn the Democracy, which
will weaken and impair, and iff not checked
will eventually. iuin the Democratic party.

But apropos, there is one charge against
Judge Buckley which he cannot and dare
not refute: and that is that he is an in-
temperate nan, and that while he was a
District Judge, he was in the habit of
getting drunk. He cannot deny the fact
that if he has joined the order of " Good
Samaritans,?' or * Sons of Temperance," or
"Social Circle," he has done so since last
Christmas. In fact we think the fewer
circulars that Judge Buckley issues the
better fur himself.

to permit none b;rt tried Democrats to sit
