He studied law at the ago of twentv conimeiited prau tu injr, but on account of the hiih apprecia tion of his talent lv'his fellow citizens he was not allowed to enjoy the pleasures of his pro- fcsMon and worship at the shrine ot lepil lore but for a short pesio 1, for on arriving at his maioritv he was elected a member of the state Senate. i u ,In 1808 he was chosen nn elector of Presi dent arid daring same year became a" member of the House, of Delegates and was chosen Speaker. In this 'position he presided with that dignity which was so characteric of his whole life. While a mcmberof tlie Legisla ture he delivered some of bis-noblest and most brilliant'snceches, two of jwhich are mentioned with jieculiar approbation one on the currency of the State in 1828,! the other iii defence of the constitution of North Caro lina. Of the latter the following is an ex tract; it was made on the "thirty second article" in the convention called to amend the Sjate eonstijjition : Sir I urn opposed put and out to any interference of the State- with the opinion of its citizens" and more j especially wun ttieir opinions on ren'wus suoiects. Tliejrood order of society requires that ac tions ami practices iiijnriois o the piihhu peace ainl public morality should be restrain ed and but a moderate portion' of practical good sense is lennircd to enable the proper authorities to decide what conduct is rcallv thus injurious. But to decide on the truth or error, on tlie salutary or pernicious conse- qhiii. cs of ujiimons requires a,skill iu dialec tics, a keenness of discernment, a forecast apd comprehension of mind, and above all in exemption from bias which di not ordinarily belong to human tribunals.- J he preconceived opinions of him who is appointed to try, be conies the standard by which ithe opinions of oinvrs are to ihj measnrel, and as these cor resjHnd or liiTer from his own, they are pro- louiu-cd true or false, salutarvor iernu-ious. If there be anv subject upon which, the'inter- feience of human iovcr are more forluddeii- than all others, it is on religion. Even lie from whom comet li every pure and perfect gift and to whom rei'gion is 'directed as its author, its end and exceedingly great reward, imposed no great coercion on his children. They believe or doubt or reject according to the impression which the testimony of reveal ed truth makes upon their tniinl. Nothincr can be conceived more abhorent from the spirit of true religion 'than hypocritical pre tensions of Kimr, Princes, Holers and Mag istrates to uphold her holy cause by their.ua ho'y violence."
