IN Hungary 1t was common for everybody who had
the wish TO fill public Office, and TO take part In
the affairs OF his country, that he should belong to
the Bar, because is the duty OF man who mas to

Hungary, one OF the most interesting points
in il, that its people come from ASIA, bringing with
them the seeds OF liberty. The cause IN which tue
| struggles IN the history OF Hungary Principally
shines, that they recognize the principle that free

sion is not the original state OF society 1t crept IN
later period. In the steppcs Of Asia, IN the 9TH

which the great seal was appended. The speaker
then entered into dlsqulslton on the principle oil
common law and statute law, and concluded by say
ing that the great principle OF every national exist
ence was always self government the principle OF
this great nation which had SO kindly received them

that these two links viii for ever bind together
Hungary and the United States Loud cheers fol-

The next toast on the list was
The Jndicsdry-lts Independence the bulwark OF our
Constitution, our laws, and our freedom.
JUDGE DUER's SPEECH.
Judge DER replied at some length, from which
| We extract few remarks.
He said, that it is certain truth that there cannot
| be any true freedom without liked constitution,
and prescribing the mode by which people can exer
cse their freedom. 1t is to the purity Of the bench
that those provisions which have been Instituted,
can be properly carried into effect While In other
countries and other ages, experience has shown that
