liberal pretensions. had set my ieart5npon
a circuit judgeshlp; where could, as an up
pellate court, under the bill as amended, re-
view and correct the opinions OF several OF
my friends here whose aspirations only eA-

stand that if cannot be made a circuit
Judge, position eminently suited to my
ability aud proportions, / will, as am in

towering aspirations of" Young America " !;
not to deny to our dear, down-trodden, tax
ridden, coupon-smitten people the best judi
cial material not to be recorded in history
as the foolish authors Of such huge mon
strosity-one that will shake our proud OLD
mother Virginia from centre to clrcum-
ference-that will cause the old ship OF State
to stand upon this shameful breaker, ana
force the great Conservative party "to rise
to explain" Mr.. Speaker, if this resolution
passes, .'God save the Commonwealth J"
