Thomson, a Senator in Congress from New Jersey, Mr. Field was appointed, Nov. 1802, by Governor 8 Olden to fill the unexpired term. But his service in the council of the nation was but brief; he being appointed by President Lincoln, Judge of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, on the 21st of January, 1863. During his occupancy of a seat in the Senate of the United States he had the opportunity, however, of making a speech or rather an argument on the Discharge of St...ate Prisoners, January 7, 1863, which drew upon him the special attention of a large portion of the Republican party, and particularly of its press. In this speech he supported the position that the right to suspend the writ of habeas corpus was vested in the President, and not in Congress. His views on this subject were in accordance with those expressed by the venerable Horace Binney in his celebrated pamphlets on the subject of the "Suspension of the Writ. " That they were wrong and the act of the executive in suspending it unconstitutional, was virtually acknowledged by the act of March 3d, 1863, authorizing the suspension.
