( An article in the Courier of last week on Judge Huntingtou's lecision in the Rose Douglaa or Uiiivrsity Laboratory case, closed with these words : Those who wish to learn : ome of our plaus for the future, eau ascertain what they are by attending the meeting at the j opera house to night." The people gathered, Mr. Beal was the chief speaker, and his plans . were developed: thatis, after much personal abuse of Judgo Iluntington ; atter questioniug his action, his motives, his fairness, his integrity ; after intimattug bribery aud corruption, - a more manly speaker would not have crawfished after every insinuation or charge ; after draggiug in his ivifo, after striking at Judge Campbell, Judgo Campbell's wife, Judge Cooley, aud everybody else who do not believe that all wisdom and purity, all honor and integnty, all charity and good will, are wrapped up in the garmeuts Mr. Beal aud his co-laborers wear. That plau is the impeachment of Judge Iluutington, and for the following reasous : " First, the decisión 3 agaiust the facts and „vidence ; second, his refusal of statute rights to any but an Ilegal jury, which he knew we could not accept ; third, because the decree is forced and does uot agree with his own couclusions drawn from the argumenta and evideuce ; fourth, because of the many errors and misstatements upon which the decree ia fouuded or baaed, which either shows iucapacity or something worse ; fitth, on his treacherous courae in pretenJing to ask other judges, while he at the aame time desiied and intended to ait upon the case liimself." (xov. Uroswell ia to be called upon, by monster petition. to convene an extra session of the Legislature to do this wurk tor Mr. Beal ; and it he wout do that off will go his head and the uext Goveruor and Legislatura will be elected on that issue. Wo breathe freer, we had supposed that some terrible calamity was n Btore for Judge Huutingtou, and for the great public who ure so " partU.iu and oiie-sided " as to believe him au honest and intelligent Judge, or tlutt a pubüe meeting of defeated clients aud bhoir misguided "paitisaus" is not exáctly a coustitutional court oï appeals. " Impoachniünt ! " it is a good word, we like the souud of it. - Our noighbor of the Courier uuloaded his grievanoes against Judge Huiitington, at Saline, on Monday evening last, and atill has euough left to till several more " orders." Beecher sittiug uu ' the ragged edge " of despair was happy compared with Beal. - Mr. Baal made a third speech at Ypsilanti on Tuesday evening, in which he said, acoording to the Post correspondent, "I believe most ot that infatnous decisión was written by Douglas aud hia owu lawyers." As Mr. Beal don't believe a word of such stuff tha people of Ypsilauti or elsewhere will be exceedingly verdant to take auy stock iujt. He also attackod Regent Estabrook by apologizing for his uction, and after he had concluded Mr. Estabrook said : " I care no more what Beal s:iys than the oli! womau did when the jackass kickod her. I considar wliere it comes from." The sober socoud tliought of the people will suutt' Beal out at nt distnnt day.
