Andrew Dawson.

We clip the following extract from communication
which appeared in the last number OF the Lawrence.
burgh Register. We have known Andrew Dawson for
every word which appears in the article. He is a
thorough lawyer ripe scholar and viii make able
and an Independent Judge; and what more he is in
the meridian Of fe under fifty years of age, whilst his
competitor, Judge Dewey, is over seventy.
"Andrew DAWSON of Decatur county is the candidate
for Supreme Judge of this District. In choosing Mr..
Dawson the Democratic convention certainly made a
most happy and appropriate selection. In point Of
scholastic attainments and legal requirements, Mr..
Dawson has few equals in the State In Eastern Indiana,
he has, for many years. been considered the head of
the Bar. He has had large lucrative practice, and
though Of exceedingly modest and retiring disposition
has proved himself all occasions possessed Of
ter mind able to grappe with the most formidable ad-
versaries He one Of the most laborous in the
State, and if elected, will do much towards sencing
the camor that have heard for many years,
specting the laws delay applied in Supreme
Court Industrious Investigating and in the vgor Of
life, he will see clearly and decide il promptly.
Another thing that may be said OF Mr.. Dawson, (and
il is qualification without which no man is fit to be a
Judge) is, that he is honest man, Of inhexibe
integrity. Some honest unfit to be Judges, for
some honest men full of prejudice and passion.
Those who know Mr.. Dawson best, know him to be as
void Of passion and prejudice he Is Of guile and he is
as cuileess a child
Mr. D.. is good lawyer; but there are some good
lawyers about whom can be said nothing more; not
with him. He has read much-s ripe scholar, with a
vigorous mind well cultivated Another thing which, 10
nv estimation adds greatly his claims Judge is
that he is no politician He has devoted his life (now
short one) to his profession and the consequence
is that he has competency the reputation OF able
iurist mind not distempered, disposition rot soured
Things hard TO say about any mere politician"
