been on the supreme bench but for short
time. He is from the northern part of the

Trumbull. the distinguished Illinois senator,
acknowledged one of the best lawyers of the
west. Judge Lawrence during the shor,
time he has been on the bench, has gained
the confidence and respect of the bar. A
man of fine education, first class intellectual
capacities and great Judicial learning. he can
not fail to add TO to the reputation of our
court. In private intercourse the Judge is
affable and cordial, in politics. of course, he
is on "the other side" but nevertheless we
have taken quite a liking for him, and though

Likewise she has the chairman OF the com

of the committee ca naval affairs and on cleo
items in the house. Aud she has the chair
man of the two important select committees
in the house. At the same time the two great
states of New York and Pennsylvania nave,

these committees are nearly all unim portant

HON. SIDNEY BREEsE,

Few better judges ever graced the bench
than the Hon Sidney Breese The bench is
his home. As judge he has few equals in
the Union. His decisions models His
learning is vast. varied and profound. His
reasoning would do honor to a Lord Mansfield
or Lord Eldon,a Kent or Story. In England
he would be lord chancellor; in France, min
lister of Justice in Germany, president of
"Ober dppelatioas gerichts hOfs :" but in
America. where political interests control ju-
dicial appointments, u Chase, inferior TO
many hundred lawyers, is preferred to him,
Though the mantle of the great Marshall has
fallen on the shoulders of political fanatic.
yet the fame of posterity, which the labors of
good, great and learned judge always Sc
cure. will be his and in coming times, as
the Illinois Supreme Court Reports continue
to be read. law continues to be science, his
genius will find admirers. Judge Breese.
now for almost fifty years a resident of our
state, is more than any other man identified
with the judicial system Of the state. The
first of our state reports, more than forty four
years ago, was compiled, edited and publish
ed by him in Kaskaskia, then the state oapi-
tai. For more than thirty years he has been
on the bench. For elk years he was a distin.
guished member of the United States senate.
In public life and in private life be gained
many friends and admirers. At the bar, on
the bench. in the senate, he gathered many
honors A scholar, the rich and varied liter
