State. ] ain unable to throw much
light on this subject, for two reasons.
In the first place, have been absent
from the Safe for the last three
months, and only a week has passed
since my return to this city.
In the second place, my ideas of the
character and responsibilities of the
judicial Office, have led me at all times,
times, to abstain from participating in
political action, and accordingly !
have little information, except that
derived from public rutnur and tne
newspapers, Of what has trarspired
at political gatherings. l can only say
t at have witnessed nothing beyond
the circumstances generally charac-
teristic Of an excited pUliricnl canvass
/ have seen no violence. On the
contrary, as far as | have had in
tercouree with gentlemen Of your
party, l have observed less disposi-
tion 70 excl cd statement and persona
bitterness, than during any of the
previous political campaigns OF this
State | sincerely hope that the fears
of many, that the lawless portion oI
the community will be permitted 10
disturb the peace and inj"re the good
name ut The State, are groundloss.

Since my appointment to tho bench

The London Economist thinks IL

election To body specially chosen by
the people for that one junction. Not
only has that resulted IN depriving the
bouy so elected OF all consultative pow.

ton, chosen Tor other purposes, have
thereby lost one of the functions
which, had IL been allotted tOthem,
would have greatly increased their IN.

nance their In portance and stimulate

Moreover, II IL now very evident how
