as one we have passed, it is to us q
matter of wonder, Of amazement, that
it over seemed to us SO appalling and
full of difficulties. 1t was as the poet
has said

Once met, once encountered, all the difficulty

And there was nothing left to over

Grafton. That we have suitable material fol
a Judge is conceded, but the misfortune is
we have TOO many dspirdRts. This difficulty
must and can be remedied. Il we do not avail
ourselves of the only fair and equitable rene.
dy we must expect defeat, for It is natura,
to suppose that a Copperhead would be
S:umPed mp by the enemies of the govern
ment who would seize upon the opportunity
offered by our weakness, as in the case Of

State, and thus secure II position which they
have no earthly right to, and by so doing
bring us again under the iron heel of rebel

troublesome in asking my friends for office,

the right to do so. It Is not my purpose to
seek political promotion, II il was, my cir
cumstances pecuniarily forbid II. have al
ways aided in promoting my friends and par
" to positions and power, politically. Now
I call on my party and friends, to do me the

they have ever been called upon to do for me,
to wit give me the position Of Circuit Judge
IN the first Judicial Circuit. ] think my for
mer course, my age and experience, and prac-
teal attachments in a legal point of view,
humble as they may he, will entitle me at
least to II respectful consideration at the
hands of the loyal voters Of the district. If
was n rich man ! would not ask for the po-
sitiOn-if | already had a fat Office, or ever
had filed one, / would not ask for the posi-
ton, or, fl was a young man | would not
ask for It. Because, II rich, | should expect
the laboring masses to feel that ! knew but
little of the disadvantages and hardships of
the poor man, and was therefore poorly pre-
pared to divest myself of all the external APP
planes and influences that attach to the
rich mar and the advantages he thus would
have over the poor man IN the investigation
of their relative legal rights. But having
always been poor, know exactly the weights
and loads a poor mar has to carry, and the
disadvantages he labors under, and therefore
flatter myself that his legal rights and pro-
lection would be meted out to him with the
scales of justice In my hands, If ! already
had a fat Office | would try and hold on to II
upon the score that one bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush-a HAT TO the wise is
sufficient, or i'll had ever filled any office,
should feel that rotation in office is q correct
principle, and that there were other men
qualified to ill Office, and upon principle
ought to have a fair showing. If ! was n
young man in these uncertain times, I think
! would feel that hope doomed up before me
and would promise myself a successful flu
ture, &c. As it is, ! am not rich, not an office
holder, never was, not very yonng, and it
looks to my mind like this is exactly the very
time and place for me. therefore present
my claims and respectfully but urgently So
licit the position at the hands Of the loyal
voters OF the Circuit, and to their decision |
meekly bow, &c. A. W. HOWARD.
