In February, 1863, during the military
government of : this j State, he was ap?
pointed, by Gen? Oauby, to the porition
of Oironit Jo tige of this State, nod im
? mediately entered upon his duties.
In August, 1808; he.was eleoted, by
the Legislature, nnder?the present State
government, Judge of the Second Judi?

full discharge of hia_ high duties, "bia

. Judge Platt vnw a niaa pf positive
1 , eharaoter; more determined than eathu
siaatio, more patient and methodical
than 'brilliant or mngaetio,. cautious,
firm, candid, of unswerving convictions,
and animated by a firm and all-pervading
sense of justice. ? His lifo and character
bad lcd bim to minglo in all tho leading
movements which have occupied tho
public mind for .the', past half oeatury
and, upon all these questions', his record
of opinion and of notion will be found
olear, decided, lofty aod inflexible.
Fifty years ago Ue was a Whig, aooept

Ind earnestly devoted to thoso priiioi
" pies of constitutional oonstraotlon which
met their fallest and highest enforce?
ment ia tho fervid eloqueaoe of Glay and
the massive argumentation of Webster.
As the cloud, then-ho larger than a
man's hand, of slavery agitation gather?
ed in tho moral and political heavens,
Judge Platt mado hosto to plant himself,
Wrth'?ll'hls Accustomed zeal aud.firm ness
ot -conviction, oq tt>o;side. of tboBQ .who
Jopked to tiio restriutiou apd abolition of
slavery by constitutional abd ' moral
means' ' these ' opinions brought bim
into intimate fellowship with the great
antislavery pioneers o? his cativo State,
among whom wo, .re.ca.ll Theodore D.
Wild. Lewis and'Arthur Tappau, Gerrit
Smith' and [VWiittW 1 Gooden. ' As the
great | conflict ' deepened and widened,
threatening to swallow - up the poace of
tho country and rupture the national
unity,. Judge Platt planted himself more
firmly on the constitutional views bf the
great WhMg leaders' of 1850,: and parted
company with that ? baud of an ti-a i avery
apostles with whom ha had acted uo long.
Not tho less earaeotly, .however, aid ho

called tho slav? power; bat tho legal and

.more-than all,.his enthusiastic and .de?

was constantly unfolded os his career ad

with; suoh pleasing amenity, gentleuei

abd ignorance combined, Haunting 1

he would not insalt or oppress,
whose passions and errors ho was (
ready to pardon, will guard it \
kindly diligeuoe from rudo or imp:
desecration. Would that ell of us ;
took more abundantly of his gent?o,
and generous spirit.
We cannot but grieve that a oitizo
good aud pure, a Christian so sin
and exemplary, and a Judge so impa
aad fit, in all these relations, setting
.example worthy'of nil praise and imi?
tation* had' not been porm'ittod to live
for yet higher achievements, (if each bo
attainable,! and in tho cod to behold
wit ) rejoicing eyes tho rehabilitation of
oar State in tho vestments of her ancient
glory, and resplendent in tho added
virtues of her adopted children. But it
has not been BO divinely ordered. Tho
waves of the groot beean of Time, which
never ebb, but will over flow, until they
aro' lost in that vast and meaBureleBB
bedau of' eternity',' whither we, too, are
rapidly 'tending, . have BWept him from
as, torn him from the anxious activities
of life', the embraces of bis friends and
?aruiiy and tho honors of earth,.we fondly
rust, to the ' rewn'rdB of tho just in
unotbor world. Thcso chasms which
thus perpetually aro breaking up through
the surface of humanity, never close, but
Jet UB hope that'for Judge' Platt, ns he
looked down loto tho ono which opened
to receive bim, no terrors appeared, and
that' ho was able to regard it OB a momen?
tary transit through a dark pathway to a
world'of light beyond. '
By tho agreement of nil who enjoyed
tile privilege 'bf intimate -intercourse,
social and '.official, with Judgo Platt, ho
possessed great independence of mind,
with q Sufficient degree of cultivation to
impart to that' intellectual characteristic
the power of useful and eminent suc?
cesses. He had his own opinions, and
without offensive self-assertion, governed
his life add 'conduct by them; and al?
though necessarily as to public and go?
vernmental affairs thefco opinions corres?
ponded with tho sentiments of his poli?

strained' by a temperament naturally, OE
well as educationally, conservative, while
in bis judicial office, ' neither the preju?
dice br rage of p?rty could reach that
sacred citadel, bf jastico of which ho had
been triade a defender. As we turn from
his gravo-nil with worro v, 'some, doubt?
