Mr. WOODBRIDGE. Mr. Speaker, after the remarks of my distinguished colleague, who has so ustl analyzed the character of the late judge OLLAXER, it will not be appropriate for me to detain the House longer t on to pay the tribute of love to the memory of my departed friend. Judge COLLAMER was for many years a leading lawyer in Vermont. He looked upon law as the perfection of human reason, and studied it as the highest and most perfect science. Hence he spurn the garbage of the outer courts. He never touched the offals of the sacrifice, but worshipped at the inner shrine of the temple whose are itecturnl proortions are just; whose parts are orderly and arine nious; where justice is found married to law, and controversy guided by the spirit of truth, rather than the spirit of victory. By welldirected study he became one of the finest judicial scholars of the age, and when called from the bar to the bench sustained anequal rank with the scholarly and accomplishe Prentiss, the metaphysical Williams, and the distinguished Phcl s, whose legal powers were as measureless as those of Daniel Webster. As a judge Mr. Commune was without fear and without reproach; and his opinions are models for their elegance and simplicity of diction. their unerring logic, and their freedom from any of that. party bias which sometimes soils the ermine of the bench. His career as ii. Senator is known to the whole country. In the most distinguished body of the nation he had no rival in spotless integrity and purity of character, and no superior in debate. It has never been my fortune to know a man who could state a proposition more clearly, and enforce it with more unerring and unanswerable logic than Judge COLLmun; and when he made an argument every Senator knew that he spoke the honest convictions ofhia own enlightened judgment. In the great struggle through which we have passed, he calmly waited the logic of events, or more speaking the indications of God, and properly then fearlessly urged the policy which he deemed to be right. gAs a lawyer, as a judge, as a Representative in Congress, as PostMGenl, as senntor, he was always unsweived by private or party interests and preserved a reputation as spotless as a child., The crowning glory of Judge Coununns character was after all best exhibited at home. You all recollect the sweetness of his face. He seemed, as Sydney Smith kid of Homer, to have the ten commandments written there. He was a devoted husband and father, a kind and generous neighbor and in the highest sense of the word a Christian gentleman and now that he has gone across the silent gulf which separates the living from the dead, the pleadings of his life are card. It is for us to reverently listen. Let us imitate his Virtues, so that when we are called to join our fathers it may be said of us, as it can be safely said of our lamented friend, the world is better that he has lived.
