Excerpt from Addresses, Literary, Political, Legal Miscellaneous, Vol. 2 The second volume of Mr. McClure's addresses presents his attainments as a public speaker in every possible phase, and no apology need be offered for presenting them. The two legal arguments with which the volume opens are the only addresses of that character which have been preserved. The great interest felt in the legal issues involved in those cases induced a stenographic report of the arguments on both sides, and as legal arguments are seldom prepared in full by lawyers it is not surprising that only two of his many addresses in the court have been preserved. Both of these arguments were delivered before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and are on subjects which involved not only great legal questions, but which also enlisted an unusual degree of popular interest. The one relating to the rights, duties and penalties of citizenship was delivered before the Supreme Court soon after the war, and as the legal point at issue was a new one before the courts of either State or nation, and as it affected the right of franchise in very large circles in this and other States, popular interest in the dispute was very general and earnest. It is entirely safe to say that this argument is the most exhaustive presentation of the mutual relations between our free government and its subjects that has ever been presented in any of our American courts. The other legal argument given affected alike the interests of the bench, the bar and the press, although the immediate question involved was the right of a Judge to debar two prominent attorneys for criticism published in a newspaper of which they were the editors after the final judgment of the court, and on a case in which the debarred attorneys were not professionally interested.
