The people have been afforded the mos,
favorable facilities Of testing the prc.em
ncnt fitness and qualifications Of Judge
Wilson; and ! am gra,ficd to be prepared
TO make the statement. upon the hiyLc.r
testimony, that, in the counties of the Cir
cult. where he has presided for the ln.,
twelve years. he has won the largest re-
speet. confidence and affection Of The peo-
pie, andy the continual exercise Of III,

-thecnnging respect and obedience which
are the result, of anything else than com.

the tribunals Of the country. Yc, no court
in the Commonwealth has Inspired and re-
ccived more respectful obedience from
lis attendants, or more uniformly maintain
cd a lofcr dignity. The sense ofrc.pcc,-
iul submission aud obedience, hch every
good citizen is ready 10 acknowledge asa
high duty he owes to the tribunals of tho
law. is not more efficient in accom- fishing
this salutary result than the confidence re-
posed in the integrity. imparlialiry and
