II is said of the three most innucn
tial members of the convention that
formed the Constitution OF the United
States, that in all the debates Of that
body, no one of them made speech
of more than twenty minutes. We
have good authority for stating that
Alexander Hamilton, though reckon
cd among tho diiluso orators of his
day, did not occupy moro than two
hours and u half in his longest argu-
ment on tho trial of cause, and his
rival, Aaron Burr, not more than an
hour and quarter. A judge, who
was intimately acquainted with Burr
and his practice, confirmed this state
ment, adding that within his knowl-
edge this advocate repeatedly and sue
cessfully disposed of cases involving II
large hm0untof property in half an
