V -r.? For the Intelligencer. Mk. Editor: Seeing nry namo an? nounced in the last issue of }rour paper, as a candidato for the Stato Convention, I avail myself of the earlicst,opportunity to stato the reasons which induce me to de? cline tho nomination: That there exists a radical and perma? nent incompatibility between tho powers and functions of the Legislator and the. -Judge?the Law-maker and tho law inter: preter?ist a proposition attested by all the teachings of experience. Following as a corollary therefrom, is another prop oposition equally well attostod, namely, . that tho exercise of these incompatible functions can never bo safely confided to tho same hands, without incurring the hazard of serious detriment to the public interests. On the contrary, they cannot Be kept too widely' separated, especially when it is considered, that upon the indo pendont and unbiased administration of justice tho most important interests which pertain to man in a state of civil society, namely, life, liberty, property and reputa? tion, may be said mainly to dejpend. But again, it can hardly be a subjoct for doubt, that out of the action of tho contemplated Convention, qcstions will inycritably arise, equalling in magnitude and importance, any that have over been agitated before a judicial tribunal on.this continent. If this bo so, then assuredly it is of the very last importance, that "those upon whom the duty shall devolve of passing upon such questions judicially, should bring to the task mi?ds wholly uninfluenced try any preconceived bias of opinion, which a participation in tho measures in ques? tion, in another capacity, can havdly fail Jo impart. I could readily adduce other objections equally.cogent to my fitness^to occupy a seat in the Convention ; but where a sin? gle objection is in itself insuperable?for sol deem the one in question?all others may well bo dispensed with. Entortainiog these views, I am alike constrained by a sense of duty, and propriety, respectfully to decline, the nomination. R. MUNRO. ? ?i For" the I?t eilig ene'ei: Anderson C. IL, S.
