OVERNOR JOSEPH VANCE in his inaugural address says, among other things, of the judiciary of the state (December 13, 1836):. "I have again and again, whilst on business in the eastern cities, heard our judiciary spoken of in terms that made me proud that I was a citizen of Ohio. 'No collusion or fraud, sir,' says an eminent merchant of one of our eastern cities, 'can stand before your judiciary.' This is the character, gentlemen, that causes capital to seek employment here; this is the character that gives security to our rights, and value to our property; and to these combined causes, are to be attributed a large portion of that flowing prosperity that is felt throughout every portion of our commonwealth." |
