The namenT Mr. Buckalew was in troduced at thisiitage of the contest, and the result : was his nomination by tire con ferenas . on'the liOth ballot. He was elect ed and remained in: the Senate during the session of 1858, and -at its close was ap- pointed with Judge Lewis and Judge Nnoitipom,the commission to revise the PenallOocle.

Starting-with tbe ntaxints of the framers of the Constitution, whose views as to the relations of the Na time' end State governments were pre cisely those'. which Mr. Jefferson subse quently enforced, and, regretting the de parture from the spirit of those maxims which• is apparent in the early action of the National goiernment, he was prepare ed; in entering public life, to accommodate himself to the existing order of things, and to aid in maintaining institutions which seemed even then- Te questions connected'with State.,ifiterests, he gave careful investigation and immense labor. He has left upon the statute book the results of his efforts in behalf of sound -principles in forins that are constantly and practically beneficial and salutary. The State is indebted - to him for much that is valuable in the laws relating to corpora tions, to the license system,. and to fi nance. Ife projected and carried through the onstitutional4amenclinents of 1857. The - provision relating to the represents tion of cities, embraced in ',those ;amend ments, was the inauguration of'an entirely novel theory of fundamental la}"' in Penn sylvania, and it - is, perhaps noctoo much to say, that the position of no otber. .pub fie-marlin the State was such as -to have enabled him, at that time, to effect that object.: As already stated, Mr. Buckalew was not in the. Legislature the - session of 1857, and the editor of -this paper, at that time ifs the House of Representatives, remembers well the sacrifice of time which he made fora public object ; and the-skill and vigor with which. - he. pressed the adoption of the amendments. ' Threughont his public life, the position of Mr.'Buckalevr upon-National questions has - always been distinct and- avowed. No dread of local and occasional =popu larity bas ever induced him to shrink from an open proclamation ofhis opinions'when ~the circumstances of the time required it. _His discnssion of 'the Kansas-Nebraska hill of 18.54 is Still regarded as the clear est and Most satisfactory vindication of its propriety which was elicited during the pendency - of the, question. In that- dis cussion as in all others, a- careful aysii,d -; ance dal' personal attack and of all party vituperation was manifest. Mr. Buckalew never indulges in epithets. He employs no -phrases of current - gang : His opinions are stated with the precision, and accu racy of a scientific formula. In hie speech- - es be uses no. =necessary or superfluous word; and they are .eoally intelligible and \attractive to the most unlettered and the most cultivated hearer. His style 'of oratory_ would be a modelfor , the .bench; and it is perhaps to be regretted that be' did not devote himself to a judicial career. . Throughout his, life, Mr. Buckalew's relitions individnals - bave been mark ed by the steady attachments he has treat ' ed. Often misjudged, and subjected often prejudiced attack, a , steady- and Con sistent discharge Of dirty has converted bitter enemies into warm and ,lasting friends. His strength among men of his own, age thmughoet the States, is unpar alleled ;• and in. the late contest they have 'sustained 'bite With enthusiasm and tin; , yielding firmneis. Of the success of his future career these• can be no: doubt., On -the 4th of arch be will go into the Senate of the 'United States to take a . patt in the . mostArementleue of• the nation's 'history; and-in that part he will, most . faithfully tepresentlhe viewaef the Dem ocracy of his native State. That the pub; lie, service, is henceforth to be benefittied by the acquisition-of a man of talents so • _rare, of learning so. profound, of industry so nudging,, of courage .so =shrinking, -- and of integrity so unstained as his eiery I r Pennsylvanian, reflecting on ,the hazards , and eiTibarriassments of • the , late contest, has reason to be devoutly grateful to the Providence of God.
