         <p> Lincoln writes to fellow attorney Orville H. Browning, of
  Quincy, and reports on the constitutional convention meeting in Springfield.
  Lincoln writes, "I am not easy about the <uLine>Courts</uLine>. I
  am satisfied with them as they are." Lincoln does not oppose the popular
  election of judges and "term...limit[s]." Lincoln opposes "'A Puppy Court' that
  is, a Judge in each county, with civil jurisdiction in all cases up to a
  thousand dollars, and criminal, in all cases not capitol . . . 'A Migratory
  Supreme Court' and <uLine>Salaries</uLine> so low as to exclude
  all respectable talent. From these, may God preserve us."
