which, while II invited confidence and respect re-
PEELED familiarity or impertinsnce. In this re-
spect, as has been most eloquently alluded to By
Judge Rayner, he resembled closely the charac-
ter OF our Washington. No one even the most
intimate friend, ever ventured to take any undue
liberty with him. Another particular trait In the

lifelong friend, Mr. Phillips, 1.-THE Solicitor Gen.
