Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Popular Arguments in Favor of an Elective Judiciary
Now, we maintain that this is not the way to elect suitable, wise and able Judges that this is the very way to fill the bench with the most incompetent incumbents. And we maintain that the election of the Judges, by the people, would entirely remove this evil. In the election of their legislators, the people are not under the in?uence of any selfish or improper motive. They' uniformly choose men who, if they are not always able and enlightened, are at least the object of no personal or family par tiality; and they are generally men well adapted to the part which they are called upon to perform. If they are under any obligations whatever, it is not one of individual favors, but only those which they owe to their party, whose principles they have publicly espoused, and are supposed, in common honor and honesty, faithfully to maintain.
