BY MEMO.

/ L. 3. STANFrELD, the member from ST. Joseph, /,
gentleman Of handsome address and fine person
Being of the legal profession he has had considerable
experience in debate, and he is excellent speaker
not that he is one Of those quicksilver genuses who
are always jumping up and crying out ''Mr. Speaker
to the great annoyance of every sensible member
but on the contrary, he speaks but seldom, and only
when he has something to say. He is man of tai
ent, and takes practical and common sense views OF
things.
E. d. CRooKsHANK, from franklin, bellies his name,
in that he has most shapely person. He is great
humorist and can pass and take jokes with the ut
most good nature. His benevolence of disposition is
manifested in almost all his actions and particularly
in the practice of his profession of physician In all
the relations of life, and particularly in the pr-
vate ones, his kindness makes him an object of high
esteem. truer warmer friend one could not de-
sire to possess.
GEORGE BURTON THOMPSON, from Perry, is a
very eccentric character. In every thing he avoids
the beaten track, and pursues course purely his
own. This brings him in frequent collision with 9TH
ers, and he shrinks from the encounter in which
he becomes involved nor need he for his readiness
at repartee makes him formidable antagonist. He
is an erudte scholar, and has profound contempt
for ignorance, especially when coupled with egotsm
Were he in Congress, he would attract much no.
tice as he does in his present more humble station.
HENRY SEcREsT, from Putnam, is a very remarka-
BILE man. As lawyer he has long been remarked for
the clearness of his apprehension and for his lucid
exposition of the most knotty questions Though
this is the second time that he has been in the Legis
laure, he has already acquired great celebrity as a
member of the House. No comprehends a SUBJ
ect more readily, or is more ready at reply 1t is
impossible TO take him at fault Though from his
personal appearance no one would Judge him to pos
sess great mental activity, yet his vigilance is per-
fectly unremittng. He is not fond of action, yet he
discharges duties involving the severest labor with
promptness seldom equalled. He is philanthropist
in the enlarged of the term, and in all his
sures has eye mainly to the promotion of some
great public good His mirthfulness is unbounded,
and he can no more forbear joking and laughter than
he can dispense with food and Sleep
WILLIAM P. DOLE, from Vermillion, has served
several years in the Legislature. He is one of those
men who always have particular object in view,
to the accomplishment of which he bends all his
energies with unremitting perseverance,, which is
of the best elements of success and which
bles them to accomplish results which of more
snowy parts would never arrive at Whatever he is,
he owes to his own exertions. No man can be more
faithful the trusts reposed in his hands and what
ever can be accomplished by fidelity aud effort, may
be expected from him. He takes every thing in ear
nests never troubled with flights of imagination,
and offends any by perpetrating wittcism
at his expense.
