GEN. SHIELDS LETTER.

The National Intelligencer contain:
the following letter from Gen. Shields te
Mr.. Brccse, accompanied by the causlit
comments of the latter.

Sir: On my return 10 this country
from Mexico, broken in constitution,
feeble in health, and still suffering under
The effects of wounds, you were the
OILY man in the city of Washington who
received me with GOODNESS and unkind-
ness. When this city honored me with
public dinner, which was generously
intended as compliment not only to
me but 10 my State, you were the on
ly man who declined to attend that
dinner. You also went further. You
propagated a report heie in Wash
ington, and circulated it afterwards in
Illinois, that I was ineligible to the office
of Senator; and this, too, after I had
poured cut my blood like water in the
battle fields of my country. You pub
lished an article in the St. Louis Repub.
lican charging me with insligibility-
doing that which I thought no man in
these United States would have been,
mean enough 10 do in my case, even if
it had been true. You, however, did
this, knowing it 10 be untrue. On this
subject, | have simply to say, that, had |
been defeated by you on that ground, |
had sworn in my heart that you never
should have profted by your success;
and, depend upon it, would have kept
that vow, regardless of Consequences
That, however, is now past, and the vow
is cancelled by your defeat. Why l ad-
dress you now is simply this:

ralization in Effingham COURT You

Gen. Shields says: "In lS4o gave
him something IN the shape Of a final
certificate Of natural=atiOn," which
was 10 simplify the proof in case of
difficulty" Tie naturalization laws do
not recognise "some'hing" or anything
''in the Shape of a. final certificate TO

for any other purpose. How, then could
I, a. circuit Judge, have given him any
such paper? The statement has'no fact,
legal, provision, or PROBABILITY to sup
port it. The truth is, no such "cerlli-
cate" was ever given by me-. He may,
or may not, have procured copy of the
record of his rat; ! :alion under the
seal of the court, and that is the only
certificate I could have any connexion
with, directly or indirectly, The first

MR. BREESE'S REPLY TO GEN.
SHIELDS.
Hon. Sidney Breese.

We give below the reply OF Mr..
Brcese TO the letter of Gen. Shields,
published Yesterday. 1t is a scorcher,
and places the gallant'soldier,-in rather
an awkward position.
The cool, cutting severity of the re-
tort contrasts favorably with the savage
,malignity which characIerises the attack,
showing bad temper and worse taste.
If man does harbor suuh feelings
towards another, respect for the decen-
cies of life, TO say nothing of common
charity towards a brother man, should
shame him from their utterance. What
ever tile real merits of the case may be
(Which we pretend not to p,ejudge) it is
certain that Gen. Shields will gain no
additional laurels by his conduct Of this
controvesy. /,
Whatever privileges may be accorded
10 our victorious Generals, we trust they
will not be permitted 10 establish the
revenscful code Of Mexican morals and
manners as the standard of conduct and
action in country which boasts of a
bighcs and purer one. Mr.. Brecse's re'
ply is in the following words:
:" Gen. Shields begins his letter by re-
frrring 10 the wounds he received iii
Mexico. This aIusion seems quite un.
necessary. The Whole country, and
particularly the people of Illinois, are
familiar with the fact that he bears hon
orable scars upon his person. For these
wounds he has already received llber'
al share of sympathy from Ills grateful
countrymen. However, l am not dis
posed to cavil al this part of his letter.
Il is a matter of taste that does not con-
Germ me. =,

and of course did not attend the din
ner given to him. 7 repeat that I did
not treat General Shields with "cold-
ness and unkindness," for I entertained
at that time, none other than the most
friendly feelings towards him; and 1
confidently appeal 10 the whole history
up 10 this lime Of our personal, profess
sional and political intercourse, 10 sup.
port this declaration. AS to his eligibil-
ity TO The Office of Senator, I can only
say thalI "propagated" no "repori,"
here or elsewhere, in relation to it. In
conversation upon the subject, I stated
to friend fact, which The record of
the El1ingham circuit court will estab-
lish, and blood" no matter where or
how "poured out" cannot alter that
record: or change the constitution Of.
tho United States. The assertion Of
General Shields that l charged him
with "ineligioiIity" in an article in the
St. Louis Republican, not only is not
true, but Without any color of truth: I
positively assert, and defy contradictions:
that did nut write, nor cause TO be.
written. nor knew until after publication
that it had been written, that, or any other
paper, in relation othis snbject.
Not the least so of the many remar-
kable passages of this letter of General
Shields, is The following: "On this SUBJ
ject I have simply TO say that had been
defeated by you on that ground (the
ground of ineligibility) | had sworn in
my heart that you never should have

it is fortunate for the honor Of The coln-

THE HONEST LAWYERS FEE.

We have great respect for the legal
profession, but lawyers like other men,
sometimes forget the good old maxiom,
that "lloncsty is the best policy" The
temptations thrown in the. way of a
young lawyer TO swerve from strict rec
titude are very great, and but few are
able 10 resist them. Butwe do not be-
lieve there is a single branch Of human
pursuit where unbending honesty is SO
sure of a temporal reward as in the
practice of law. He who gains Tie
reputation Of laboring 10 promote strict
justice between man and man is sure of
the confidence of the community-and
this confidence will necessarily secure
the best legal business: The homes,
lawyer may NOT become rich at once
not as soon perhaps as the knave, hut
he will succeed in the end, and always
with his success there will be The feeling
Of conscious recttude, Which, Of itself,
is priceless fortune. We give a short
story below, which will illustrate the
truth of what we have said,
1t is now FIVE years since the widow
Stiles called on me one morning before
breakfast, and asked me to recommend
her to some lawyer, as she thought her
friend Stubs was less correct Than he
might be. 1 asked her to step. into the
parlor and went myself to my breakfast
and my wife,. whose advice I always
asked on such points. We had known
Mrs. Stiles many years; her husband was
a great land owner in a goodly town of
the. western country. and with a disinte'
rested love, that deserved some better
aim, ever pressed it. on his 'helpmate, as
the first rule of life, 10, get all she could,
and keep all she got. He died, and Mrs.
Stiles became more and more religious
and aims giving, but also more and more
fond of wealth, and sensible Of the ad-
mitable advice which her husband had
