The .Legislature., when he waif ye la very young man, elec ted him a Judge, and be discharged his du ties on the bench with great ability and im partiality, giving entire satisfaction to the professjon and the people. A sense of du ty to himself,' his mother and sisters, re quired that he should not remain on the bench at a small sa'ary when his splendid talents and extensive acquirements would command the most lucrative practice: He resigned his seat on the bench, and return ed to his practice at the bar; , Mr. Badger is justly regarded as one of the ablest 'law yers in the United States. He rarely ever speaks longer than one hour oh any subject, and in that space of time he will do ample justice to bis client, and often demolish a three days speech of his adversary.

Badger as ary lawyer in America. During the-last war, when the British invaded the, eastern 'Shore of: North Carolina, Governor Hawkins, with'a large number of volunteer militia. marched quickly tn the defence of the sea board In thai expedition, George E. Bad ger, then aooui 19 years old, volunteered, was appointed bv Major General Jones one of his aids, and remained in. the public ser vice until the enemy retreated, took water, and sailed from North Carolina. Jtfr, Badger, was an active and ardent scpporier of Geuaral Jackson for .the Pres idency , he was, indeed the leader of the Jackson party of North Carolina, and wrote the address containing their political creed prior to the elevation of Gen Jackson 10 the Presidency. The same parly in North Carolina, generally, nominated him as a j gentleman pre-eminently qualified to be Attorney General in President Jackson a Cabinet.
