Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Testimonial of Respect of the Bar of New-York, to the Memory of Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson: Biography, Proceedings in the Courts, Meetings of the Bar, Addresses, Resolutions, and Funeral Ceremonies
In 1840 he was a candidate for lieutenant-governor, but was defeated in the general overthrow of his party that year. In 1842 he received the nomination for the same office, and was elected to the position by a large majority. As Senator, his speeches upon the usury laws attracted universal attention. The Senate, during the time that he was a member, and, as Lieutenant Governor, its presiding officer, was the Court for the Correction of Errors, and Mr. Dickinson gave frequent opinions upon the grave questions which came before that court for final adjudication, many of which may be found in the law reports of the day.
In 1844 Mr. Dickinson was a State elector of the Democratic party, and as such, cast his vote for James K. Polk and George M. Dallas, for the offices of President and vice-president of the United States.
