Judicial District. At the age Of twenty he
graduated with all the honors of his Alma
Mater. His collegiate course had exhausted
all Of his patrimony, and upon the receipt Of
his sheepskin parchment found himself pen
nyless, and in debt. In this situation we find
him undaunted, and with strong mind,
buoyed up with a full bright future. He
made choice of the legal profession, and ap-
piled himself assiduously to labor and study,
in preparing himself for admission to the
Bar He made such proficiency that bis ad-
mission and ascent to the title of one of the
best Attorneys became an easy matter. His
noble bearing and gentlemanly department
toward all of the members of the profession
has gained for him the disinterested friend
ship of all, Bench, Bar and ltigant parties.
We hope he will be elected; and as basis
or foundation for our conclusions, we say that
no legitimate duty that ever devolved upon
him was left unperformed. This being the
case, if Mr.. YALE should be elected, the new
counties of the Eighth Judicial Circuit may
feel assured that there will be no denial OF
Justice by the non-holding OF their terms OF
Court, unless sickness, or some unavoidable
circumstance should occur. He has ever been
firm and consistent Democrat, without be-
ing noisy, brawling politician, and has all
those pre-eminent qualifications fitting him
for an unbiased, independent Judge. He
would, in the discharge of the duties OF that
office, hold the scales of Justice with an even,
steady hand. Justice to the high and the
low, the rich and the poor, the beggar in his
rags and the high official dignitary, would be
dispensed equitably. He has no enemies to
punish; no friends to reward. He is emf
nently endowed by nature with every quality
necessary to fill the station to the entire sat
isfaction of the most critical, as well as the
most fastidious. 1t is sufficient to say that
the profundity of his law knowledge, combin-
ed with his strict legal acumen and accuracy,
is sufficient guaranty to the people that
their lives, liberty and property, would be
safe. Vote for HARVEY p. YALE. o.
REGENT OF THE UNIvERsITY.-CoRNELI
US VAN DER MEULEN, educated in Foreign
University, is just the man for the station to
which he has been nominated. Let him re-
oeive every Democratic vote; for be it known
that he is unlike his antagonist, inasmuch as
he refuses to preach ranting political doc
trines, from the pulpit; and is sound Dem
ocrat, from principle, knowing no North, no
South but our whole, one undivided Republic.
