IT is now twenty-sir: years since the heart of the nation was so deeply moved by the death of two great founders of the Republic, on the fiftieth anniversary of the day when its independence was declared. Then for the first time, these consecrated walls were the weeds of mourning. Then the multitude that filled this hall were addressed by a man, whose thoughts rose without effort to the height of his great theme. He seemed inspired by the occasion, and he looked and spoke like one on whom the mantle of some ascended prophet had at that moment fallen. fie lifted up and bore aloft his audience on the wings of his mighty eloquence. A His words fell upon lzisi‘ hearers with irresistible, subcluinp; power, and their hearts poured themselves forth in one deep and strong tide of patriotic and reverential feeling. ' E And now he, that was then so full of life and power, has gone to join the patriots whom he commemorated. "Webster is no more than Adams and J effcrsoii. The people, that then came to listen tchirn, are now here to mourn for him. His voice of wisdom and eloquence is silent. The arm on which a nation leaned is stark and cold. That heroic form is given back to the dust. We, that deliglited to honor him in life. are now here to honor him in death. One circle of duties is ended and another is begun. We can no longer give him our confidence, our support, our sufllragcs; but memory and gratitude are still left to us. As he has not lived for himself alone, so he has not died for himself alone. The services of his life are crowned and sealed with the benediction of his death. So long as a man remains upon earth, his life is a fragment. It is exposed to chance and change, to the shocks of fate and the assaults of trial. But the end crowns the work. A. career that is closed becomes a firm possession and a completed power. The arch is imperfect till the hand of death has fixed the keystone. The custom of honoring great public benefactors by these solemn observances is natural, just, and wise. But the tributes and testimonials which we offer to departed worth, are for the living, and not for the dead. Euloggies, monuments, and statues can add nothing to the peace and joy of that serene sphere, into which the igreat and good, who have finished their earthly career, have passed. But these expressions and memorials do good to those from whom they flow. "hey lift us above the region of low cares and selfish struggles. They link the present to the past, and the world of sense to the world of thought. They break the common course of life with feelings brought from a higher" region. ‘Who can measure the effect of a scene like this,---these mourning walls, these saddened faces, those solemn strains of music E’ The seed of a deep emotion here planted, may ripen into the fruit of noble action. . E A great man is a gift, in some measure, a revelation of God. A. great man, living for high ends, is the divincst thing that can be seen on earth. The value and interest of ' history are derived chiefly from the lives and services of the eminent men whom it com- memoratcs. Indeed, wit rout these, there would be no such thing as history, and the . progress of a nation won d be as little worth recording, as the march of a trading caravan across a desert. The death of Mr. Webster is too recent, and he was taken away too suddenly from a sphere of wide and great influence, for the calm verdict of history to be passed upon him, and an accurate gauge to be taken of his works and his claims. But all men, whatever may have been the countenance they turned towards him in life, now - feel that he was a man of the highest order of greatness, and that whatever of power, faculty, and knowledge there was in him, was given freel , heartily, and faithfully during a lolngilcoursc orfycars, to the service of his country- re, who in the jud ment of all, was a. reat man and a great patriot, not only deserves these honors at our ands, butit would e disgraceful in us to withhold them. We,E among whom he lived,‘ who felt the power of his magnificent presence;---his brow, his eye, his voice, his bearing,-r--can never put him anywhere but in. the front rank of the great men of all time. , In running along the line of st.atotneen and craters, we light upon the name if no onetofwhom we are wil- toadmit his inferiority. E p E E r j p . Ma. HiLr.iian’s isuroerl. 15 The theory that a great man is merely th.e product of his age, is rejected by the common sense and common observation of mankind. The power that guides large masses of men, and shapes the channels in which the energies of a great people flow, is something more than a mere aggregate of derivative forces. It is a compound product. in which the genius of the man is one element, and the sphere opened to him by the character of his age and the institutions of his country is another. In the case of Mr. Webster, we have a- full co-operation of these two elements. Not only did he find opportunities for his great powers, but the events of his life, and the discipline through which he passed, were well fitted to train him up to that commanding intellectual stature, and perfect intellec- tual symmetry,which have made him so admirable, so eminent, and so useful a person. He was fortunate in the accident, or rather the providence, of his birth. His father was a man of uncommon strength of mind and worth of character, who had served his country -faithfully in trying times, and earned, in a high degree, the respect and con- fidence of his neighbors--—-a man of a large and loving heart, whos e"efi'orts and sacrifices for his children were repaid by them with most affectionate veneration. The energy and good sense of his mother exerted a strong influence upon the minds and characters of her children. He was born to the discipline of poverty; but a poverty such as braces and stimulates, not such as crushes and paralyzes. The region in which _, his boyhood was passed was new and wild, books were not easy to be had, schools were only an occasional privilege, and intercourse with the more settled parts of the country was difficult and rare. But this scarcity of mental food and mental eiicitement had its advantages, and his train- ing was good, however imperfect his teacliing might have been. His labors upon the farm , helped to form that vigorous constitution which enabled him to sustain the immense pressure of cares and duties laid upon him in after years. Such books as he could pro- cure were read with the whple heart and the whole mind. The conversation of a house- hold, presided ovcr by a strong-minded father, and sensible, loving mother, helped to train the faculties of the younger members of the family. Nor were their winter evenings wanting in topics which had a fresher interest than any which books could furnish. There were stirring tales of the revolutionary struggle, and the old French war, in both of which his father had taken a part, with moving traditions of the hardships and perils of border life, and harrowing narratives of lndian captivity, all of which sunk deep into the heart of the impressible boy. The ample page of nature was ever before his eyes, not beautiful or picturesque, but stern, wild, and solitary, covered with a primeval forest, in winter, swept over by tremendous storms, but in summer, putting on a short-lived grace, and in autumn, glowing with an imperial pomp of coloring. In the deep, lonely woods, by the rushing streams, under the frosty stars of winter, the musing boy gathered food for his growing mind. There, to him, the mighty mother unveiled her awful face, and there, we may be sure,that the dauntless child stretched forth his hands and smiled. Wevfeel a pensive pleasure in calling up the image of this slender, dark-brewed, bright-eyed ' youth, going forth in the morning of life to sow the seed pf future years. A loving brother, and a loving and dutiful son, he is cheerful under privation, and patient under restraint. Whatever work he finds to do, whether with the brain or the hand, he does it with all his might. lie. opens his mind to every ray of knowledge that breaks in upon him. Every step is a progress, and every blow removes an obstacle. Onward, ever on- ward, he moves; borne “ againt the wind, against the tide,” by an impulse self—derived and self-sustained. lie makes friends, awakens, interest, inspires hopes. Thus, with these good angels about liiin, he passes from boyhood to youth, and from youth to early rnanhood. The school and the college have given him what they had to give; and excel- lent professional training has been secured; and now, with a vigorous frame, and a spirit patient of labor, with manly ‘self-reliance, and a heart glowing with generous ambition and warm affections, the man, Daniel Webster, steps forth into the arena of life. From this point his progress follows a natural law of growth, and every advance is jus- tified and explained by what had gone before. For everything that he gains he has a l . perfect title to show. He is borne on by no fortunate accidents. The increase of his influence keeps no more than pace with the growth of his mind, and the development of ‘ his character. He is diligent in his calling, and faithful to the interests intrusted to his charge. His professional bearing is manly and elevated. He has the confidence of the court, and the ear of the jury, and has fairly earned them both. His business increases,» ‘ his reputation is extended, and he becomes a marked man. He is not only equal to A every occasion, but he always leaves the impression of having power in reserve, and of being capable of still greater efforts. What‘ he does is judicious, and what he says is wise. He is not obliged to retrace his steps ‘or qualify his statements. I-Ie blends the dignity and self-command of mature life with the ardor and energyi of youth. To such a man, in our country, public life becomes a sort of necessity. , Abrief service '.l'11QOIlg1'eSB wins for him the respect and admiration of the leadincr men of the whole Union, who see, with ast.onis1iment,in a young New Hampshire vawyer, the‘ large views of aripe . statesman,-and a generous and comprehensive tone of ‘ discussion, free alike from party bias and sectional narrowness. A. removal to the metropolis of New England brings] increase of professional opportunity; and in a few years he stands at the head of 16 I\-IR. I-IILLAnD’s nutocr the Bar of the whole country. Public life is again thrust upon him, and, at one stride, he moves to the foremost rank of influence and consideration.‘ His prodigious powers of ar- gument and eloquence, freely given to an administration opposed to him in politics, crush a dangerous political heresy, and kindle a deeper national sentiment. The whole land rings with his name and praise, and foreign nations take up and prolong the sound. ' Every year brings higher trusts, weightier responsibilities, wider influence, until his country reposes in the shadow of his wisdom, and the power that proceeds from his mind and character becomes one of the controlling forces in the movements and relations of the civilized world. . To trace, step by step, the incidents of such a career, would far transcend the limits of a discourse like this, and of all places, it is least needed here. Judging of him by what he was, as well as by what he did, and analyzing the aggregate of his powers, we observe that his life moves in three distinct paths of greatness. He was a great lawyer, a great statesman, and a great writer. The gifts and tr°aining, which make a man eminent in any one of these departments. are by no means identical with those which make him eminent in any other. Very few have attained liigh rank in any two; and the distinc- tion which Mr. 'Webster reached in all the three is almost without a parallel in history. He was, from the beginning, more or less occu ied with public affairs, and he continued to the last to be a practising lawyer; but, as regar v s these two s heres of action, his life may be divided into two distinct portions. From his twcnty—thirc to his forty—first year, the practise of the law was his primary occupation and interest, but from the latter period to his death, it was secondary to his labors as a legislator and statesman. Of his eminence in the law-—-meaning the law as administered in the ordinary tribunals of the country, without reference, for the present, to constitutional questions-—-— there is but one opinion among competent 'udges. Some may have e:s:cel.1ed him in a single faculty or accom- plishment, bnt in 1; 1e combination of qualities which the law requires, no man of his time was on the whole equal to him. He was a safe councillor and a powerful advocate ; thorough in the preparation of causes and judicious in the management of them; quick, zfarseeing, cautious, and bold. His addresses to the jury were simple, manly, and di- rect; presenting the strong points of the case in a strong wa , appealing to the reason and the conscience, and not to passions and prejudices; an never weakened by over- statement. He laid his own mind fairly along-side of that of the jury, and won their confidence by his sincere way of dealing with them. He had the wisdom to cease speak~ ing when he come to an end. His most conspicuous power was his clearness of state- ment. He threw u on every subject a light like that of the sun at noonday. His mind, by an unerring instruct, separated the important from the unimportant facts in a compliw cated case, and so presented the former, that he was really making a powerful and er- suasive argument, when he seemed to be only telling a plain stor in a plain way. ‘he " transparency of the stream veiled its depth ; and its depth concea ed its rapid flow. His legal earning was accurate and perfectly at command, and he had made himself master of some difficult branches of law, such as special pleading and the law of real property, but the memory of some of his contemporaries was more richly stored with cases. From his remarkable powers of generalization, his elementary rea ing had filled his mind with principles, and he examined the questions that arose, by the light of these principles, and then sought in the books for cases to confirm the views which he had reached by re- , flection. He never resorted to stratagems and surprises, nor did he let his zeal for his client run away with his self-respect. His judgment was so clear, and his moral sense so strong. that he never could help discriminating between a good cause and a bad one ; nor betrayin to a close observer when he was arguing against what was his bwn judgment of his case. r is manner was admirable, especially for its repose, an effective quality in an advo- cate, from the consciousness of strength which it implies. The uniform respect with p which he treated the bench should not be omitted, in summing up his merits as a lawyer. The exclusive practice of the law is not held to be the best preparation for public life. Not only does it invigorate without expanding--not only does it narrow at the same time that it sharpens--but the custom of addressing juries begets a habit of over-state- ment, which is a great defect in a public speaker, and the mind, that is constantly occu~ pied in looking at one side of a disputed question, is apt to forget that it has two. Great minds triumph over these influences, but it is because they never fail, sooner or later, to l overleap the formal barriers of the law. Had Mr. Webster been born in England, and educated to the bar, his powers could never have been confined to Westminister Hall. He would have been taken up and borne into parliament by an irresistible tide" of pub-- lic opinion. Bornwhere he was, it would have been the greatest of misi'ortunes,if he had narrowed his mind and given up to his clients the genius that was meantfor the whole country and all time. Admirablyl as he put a case to the 'ury, or argued it to the court, it was impossible not to feel that in many instances an in erior person would have done it nearly orquite as well; and sometimles the disproportion between the man and the“work was so greauvthat it reminded one of the-task given to Michael Angelo, to make a statue of snow.

It was a iortunate, may we not say a providential circumstance, that the growth of the country begiiii to devolve upon the buprerne Court of the United §tat_es the corisidcrationol‘ this class of questions, Just at the time when Mr. Webster, in his ripe manhoocl, was able to give them the benefit oi his extraordinary powers of ar- gument and analysis. Preyious to the Dartmouth College case, in l§il8, not rn_any im- portant constitutional questions had come before the court, and, since that time, the great lawyer, who then l_)rol~:_c upon the_rn with _so astonishing a blaze of learning and logic, has exerted a coinmanding influence in shaping that ‘system ot constitutional law-— al- most a siippleiiientary Constitution --Whichnhas contributed so much to our happiness and prosperity. Great as is our debt of gratitude to such Judges as Marshall and Story, it ‘LS hardly less great to such_a lawyer as Mr. Webstei'. None would have been more ieadylthan tlticsle eminent inagistrates, to acknowledge the assistance they had derived rom iis mas er y ar’s aunoor were borne alone‘ with it. Heart answered to heart as he spoke, and, when he ceased, the silence and the tears of the impassive Bench, as well as of the excited audience, were a‘. tribute to the truth and power of the feeliiig by which he had been inspired. ‘With his election to Congress, from the city of Boston, in 1822, the great labors and mi. urnphs of his life begin. From that time until his death, with an interval oi‘ about two years after leaving President '1‘yler’s Cabinet, he was constantly in the public service, as Repre- sentative, Senator, or Secretary of State. In this period his bio;_2;raphy is included in the historyof his country. "Without pausing _to dwell upon details, and looking: at his public life as a whole, let us examine its leading features and guiding; principles, and inquire upon what grounds he en_}oyed our confidence and admiration, while living, and is entitled to our gratitude when dead. Public men, in popular governments, are divided into two great classes, statesmen and politicians. The difibrence between them is like the ditierence hetween the artist and the mechanic. The statesman starts with original principles, and is propelled by a self‘-de— rived impulse. The politician has his course to choose, and puts himself‘ in a position to make the best use of the forces which lie outside of’ him. Tlic statesrmm’s genius sometimes fails: in reaching its proper sphere, from the want of the politician’s faculty; and, on the other hand, the politician’s intellectual poverty is never fully apprehended till he has contrived to attain an elevation which belongs-oiily to the statesznan. '.l‘he statesman is often called upon to oppose popular opinion, and never is his attitude no- bler than when so doing ; but the sap;acity of the politician is shown in seeing, a little before the rest of the world, how the stream of popular feeling is about to turn, anclso throwing himself upon it, as to seem to be paiicling it, while he is only propelled by it. A statesman rualtes the occasion, but the occasion.1na.ltcs the . olitician. Mr. ‘Webster was pre—eminently a statesman. He roster his claims upon principles; and by these he was ready to stand or fall. ~ In loolrimgr at the endowments which he "brought to the service of ‘HS country, a promment rank. is to be assigned to that deep and penetratirig wisdom which gave so safe a rlircction to his gastritis. l;-lis imagination, his passions," and his synipatliies, wereall kept 111 subordination to this sovereign power‘. He saw things as they are, neither 1n.a{_2;nii'icd, nor discolored by p1‘oj1.1dicc: or prcpcisscssion. He heard all sides,.and did not insist that a thing was true, because he wished it to be true, or because it seemed probable to his first inquiry. Lliis post oi‘ oi::sor'vati.on was the central and fixed light of" reason, from which all wzttmloriiip; and uncertain elements were at last discerned in their just relations and propo1'tions.. The functions of p;ovcr11uie1it did not, in his view, lie in the region of speculation o.r emotion. it was “"a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants‘.’.; ., .'J'.‘hc curls oi‘ _l'.“;€")"‘V0i‘1”l.i.1"I.(23I113 are, indeed, ever identical, but the means used to attain thernllarc variou::;4. '.l‘he practical statcsma.n must i aim‘, not at the best conceivable, but the best attainable ,<,rood. '.l.‘bus, Mr. W cbstcr al~ ways . recognized and accepted the necessities of his position. He did not hope zigainst hope, nor waste his energies inattempting the impossible. Living under a ggovcrziiiieiit, in which universal siiilrage is the ultimate propelling _force,. he received the erspresscd sense of the people as a fact, and not an hypothesis. Like all men who are long in pub- lic life, under popular institutions, be incurred the reproach of inconsistency; a reproach not 1-esting upon any change of principle--—-- for he never cliarigecl his principles, ---but up on the modification of measures and policy which every enlightened statesman yields to the inevitable march of events and innovations of time. . N or was be less reniarlszable for the breadth and comprehensiveness of his views. He knew no North, no South, no East, no W'est. His great mind and patriotic heart out- bracccl the whole land with all its interests and all its claims. He had. .1iotllii1‘i,o: of parti- san narrowness or sectional exclusiveness. His point of siglit was liigh cnoug.=;li to take in all parts of the country, and his heart was large enough and warm eiicaiigh to love it all, to cling to it, to live for it, or die for it. Notliing is more characteristic of greatness than this capacity of enlarged and generous affections. No public man ever earned more fully the title of a national, an American statesman. No heart ever beat with a higher national spirit than his. The honor of his country was as clear to him as the faces of his children. 'Where that was in question, his great powers blazed forth like a ztlame of tire in itsdefence. Never were his wor'tls more weighty, his lo V ic more irresisti- ble, his eloquence more loi‘ty_, --~ never did his mind move with more magestic and victori— ous flight,——-- than when vinchcating the rights of his country, or shielding her from unjust as ersions. i . . , E1: is a hasty and mistaken judgment to guage the merits. of a statesman, underpopular, institutions, by the results which hebrings about and the measures which heficarries .thro»ug.,h. , His opportunities inthis respect will depend, generally, upon the fact ‘whether he happens to be in the majority or the minorit . ,1,-low mac 1 would be taken from the pgcreatnessof one of the greatest of statesmen, r. 1*‘ox,ii' this test were applied to him. i he merits of a statesman are to be measured, by the goodwhich he does, by the evil vsghichi he . revcnts, by the sentiments he breathes into the public heart, and the principles ._ ' ’ p y the rpublicmind. _ Mr. Webster did not belong to that great political wt aich, »or;;din,ary circumstances, and when no exceptional elements have been 5" {D E‘ fii $3 21: m w er *3 @ on DANIEL wsssrrnul. 19 thrown in, have been able to command a majority in the whole nation, and upon whiclithej responsibility of governing the country, has been consequently thrown. Thus, for the , larger part of his public life, he was in the minority. But a minority is as limportanit an element, in carrying on a representative governinent, as a majority; and he never tran- scended its legitiiiizite functions. His opposition was open, manly, and conscientious, never factions, never importunate. lie stated fairlythe arguments to which he replied. He did not stoop to personality, or resort to the low and cheap trick of impugning the‘ motives orcharacters of his opponents. He has therefore fairly earned the respect which the democratic party, to their honor be it spokeinhave shown to his memory. He was a , party man, to this extent--he believed that under a popular lgoverniiient, it was expe- dient that men of substantially the same way of thinking in politics should act together, in order to accomplish any general good, but he never gave up to his party what was meant for his country. "When the turn of the tide threw upon him the initiative of measures, no man ever showeda wiser spirit of legislation or a more just and enligliteneid policy in statesinanship. He combined what Bacon calls the logical with the mathemat- ical part of the mind. He could judge well of the mode of attaining any end, and esti- mate, at the same time, the true value of the end itself. His powers were by no means limited to attack and defence, but he had the orfranizing and constructing mind, which shapes and fits acourse of policy to the wants and temper of a great people. . His influence, as a public man, extends over the lastforty years, and, during that period, what is there that does not bear his impress P Go where we will, upon land or sea»--a from agriculture to commerce, and from comiuerce to manufactures -- turn to domestic industry, to foreign relations, to law, education, and religion,“ everywhere, we meet the imap;e and superscription of "l‘.l1J.S imperial niind. The Asliburtoii treaty may stand as a monument of the good he did. I-lis speech in reply to Mr._ Hayne may be cited as a proof of the evil he prevented; and, for this reason, while its whole effect can never be measured, its importance can hardly be over»-stated. Probably no discourse ever spoken by man had a wider, more permanent, . and more beneficial _infli_ience. Not only did it completely overthrow a most dangerous attack -on the Constitution, but it made it im- possible for the same attack ever to be renewed. Froin that day forward the specious front of nulliiication was branded _with treason. If _we estimate the claims of a public man by his influence upon the national heart, and his contributions to a high-toned na- tional sentiment, who shall stand by the side of Mr. Webster? Where is the theory of constitutional liberty better expounded, and the rules and conditions of national well- beinp; and well-doing better laid down, than in his speeches and writings 2’ "What books should we so soon put into the hands of an intelligent foreigner, who desired to learn the great doctrines of government and administration on which the power and progress of our country repose, and to ineasure the intellectual stature of a tinished Ainerican man? The relation which he held to the politics of the country was the natural result of a mind and teniperainent like his. to A. wise patriot, who understands the wants of his time, will throw himself into the scale which most needs the weight of his influence, and choose the side which is best for his country and not for liimself. Hence, it may be his duty to espouse defeat and cleave to disappointment. In weighing the two elements of law and liberty, as they are mingled in our country, he felt that danger was rather to be apprehen- ded from the preponderance of license than of authority; that men were attracted to liberty by the po werful instincts of the blood and heart, but to law by the colder and fainter suggestions of the reason. Hence, he was a conservative at home, and gave his influ- ence to the party of pcrinanence rather than progression. But in Europe it was different. There hesaw that there were abuses to be reformed and biirdeiis to be removed ; that the principle of progress was to be encouraged, and that larger infusions of liberty should be poured into the exhausted frames of decayedstates. Hence, his sympathies were always on the side of the struggling and the siiifering; and, through his powerful voice, the pub- lic opinion of America made itself heard and respected iniliurope. , It is a fact worthy of being stated in this connection, that at the moment when a tempest of obloquy was beating upon him, from his supposed hostility to the cause of freedom here, a very able writer of the Catholic faith, in a striking and, in many respects, admirable essay upon his writings and public life, came reluctantly and respectfully -to the conclusion that Mr. Webster had forfeited all claim to the support of Catholic voters, from the countenance he had given to the revolutionary spirit of Europe. Such are ever the judgments of fragmentary men upon a universal man. i i - His strong sense of the value of the Union, and the force and ireqiiepcy with which he discoursed upon this theme, are to be explained by the same traits of mindiaiid character. He believed that we were more in danger of diffusion than consolidation. He felt that all the primal instincts of patriotism —- all the chords of the heart --bound men to their own State, and not to the common Country go and ‘ that with the territorial increase of that country, it became more and more difficult for the central heart to propel to the extremi- ties the life-blood of that invigorating national sentiment, without which astate is but apolitical corporation without asoul.._ He knew too, that the name of a Union might exist without the substance, and that yatlnion for mutual annoyance and defiance, and not .20 Ma. nILLanD’s suzcoer for mutual aid and support, which kept the word of promise to the ear and broke it to the hope, was hardly worth the having. Hence, he labored earnestly and perseveringlv to incul- cate a love of the Union, and to present the whole country as an object to be cherished, honored and valued, because he felt that on that side our affections needed to be quick- ened and stiengthenecl. As was to be expected, so powerful a man could_ not pass through life without encoun~ tering strong opposition. All his previous expei°iences, however, were inconsiderable in comparison with the storm of denunciation which he drew down upon himself by his course on what are commonly called the compromise measures, and, especially, his speech on that occasion. It was natural that men, whose fervid sympathiesare wedded to a single idea, should have felt aggrievecl by the stand he their took; and if decency and decorum had governed their expressions, neither he nor his friends could have had any right to com- plain. But, in many cases, the attacks were so foul and ferocious that they lost all claim to be treated as moral judgments, and sunk to the level of the lowest and coarsest efl‘u- sions of malice and hatred. It is a good rule in politics, as elsewhere, to give men credit for the motives they profess to be actuated by, and to accept their own exposition of their own opinions as true. Let us apply these rules to his c‘our_se at that time. He had opn posed the admission of Texas, and predicted the train of evils which would have come with it. He had warned the North of the perilous questions with which that measure was fraught. But the prophetic voice was unlieeded. Between seal on one side, and apathy on the other, Tezras came in. Then war with Mezszico followed, ending in conquest, and leaving the whole of that unhappy country at our inercy. Mr. "Webster opposed the clismeinberment of ltlexico, provided for in the treaty of peace, on the ground that no sooner should we have the immense territory which we propose to take, than the ques«— tion whether slavery should exist there, would agitate the country. But again the warn- - mg; voice of his wisdom was unheeded, and the storm, which he had predicted, gathered in the heavens. The questions against which he had forewarned his countrymen now iclamored for settlement, and would not be put by. They required for their adjustment the most of reason and the least of passion, and they were met in a mood which combined the inost of passion and the least of reason. The North and the South met in “ angry parle,” and the air was darkened with their strife. Mr. "Webster's prophetic spirit was heavy within him. I-le felt that a crisis had arrived in the history of his country, and that the lot ot'a solemn duty and a stern selfi-sacrifice had fallen upon him. As he himself said, “ he had made up his mind to embark alone on what he was aware would prove a stormy sea, because in that case, should disaster ensue, there would be but one life lost.” a In this mood of calm and high resolve he went forward to meet the portentious issue. - It is not to be expected that a speech, made under such circumstances, going over so wide a range of exciting topics, shouldflin every part, command the immediate and en»- tire assent even of those who would admit its truth and seasonableness as a whole. It is also doubtless true, that there are single expressions in it which, when torn from their context, and set by the side of passages from former speeches, dealt with in like manner, will not be found absolutely identical. But the speech of such a man, at such a crisis, is not to be dissected and criticized like a rhetorical exercise. It should be judged as a Whole, and read by the liglit of the occasion which gave it birth. The judgnients which Mr. W'ebster’s course has called forth, were widely diversea By ‘those who hold extreme views, he was char,rred with expressing sentiments which he did not believe to be true. It was “ a bid for the Presidency,” and his conscience was the price he offered. It is a mere waste of words to argue with men of this class. Fanati- cisin darkens the mind and hardens the heart, and where there is neither common sense nor common charity, the first step in a processiof reasoning cannot be taken. Others maintained that he was mistaken in point of fact, that he took counsel of his fears and not of his wisdom, and, that tlugoiigli him, the opportunity was lost of putting; down the South in an open struggle for influence and power. But, in the first place, it is not probable that a man, who, upon subordinate questions, had shown so much political wisdom and forecast, should have been mistaken upon a point of such transcendent importance, to which his attention had been so long and so earnestly directed; and, in the second place, the testimony of nearly all men, whose evidence would be received with respect upon any similar subject, fully sustains Mr. Webster in the views he then took of the state of the A country, and is equally strong as to the value of the services he rendered. In such an issue, the testimony of retired persons, living among books and their own thoughts, is inotentitled to any great value, because they can have no adequate notion of the duties, responsibilities, or difficulties of governiiig a great State, and what need there is of pa- tience and denunciation in those who are called to this highest of humans functions. A statesman has the right to be tried by his peers. ‘ i i i It is curious toobserve how, hatred, whether personal or political, when it enters into the mind, disturbs its functions, as a piece of iron, in the binnacle of a ship, misleads the compass. ,iMany, who have found it so hard to forgive Mr. 'Webster‘ forhis independn ence in opposinglthem, would admit theiimportanceof having a class of public men, who will lead the pjeopleand notbe led by them,’ and that a great man is never so great, ON DANIEL wnr.srr.a.1 l ‘.31 as when withstanding their dangerous wishes, and calmly braving their anger. Their eyes will sparkle when they speak of the neutral countenance of Washington, unclisinayed. by jacobin clamor, and of the sublime self-devotion of Jay. It is strange that they can- not, or will not, for a moment, look at Mr. 'Webster’s position from a point of view oppo- site to their own, admit that he may have been in the right, and see him clad in the beauty of selt'—-sacrifice. It is to be feared that this form of virtue is growing more and more rare, as it is more and more needed, The story of Curtius leaping into a gulf in the Roman Forum, in. order to save his country, is but the legendary form in which aperpet- ual truth is clothed. In the path of time there are always chasms of error which only a. great self-irnmolating victim can close. The glory has departed from the land in which that self-de'voting stock has died out. M1‘. "Webster was an ambitious man. He desired the highest oflice in the gift of the people. But on this subject, as on all others, there was no concealment in his nature. And ambition is not a weakness, unless it be disproportioned to the capacity. To have more ambition than ability is to be at once weak and unhappy. 'With him it was a noble passion, because it rested upon noble powers. He was aman cast in a heroic mould. His thoughts, his wishes, his passions, his aspirations, were all on a grander scale than those of other men. Uuexercised capacity is always a source of rusting discontent. The height to which men may rise is in proportion to the upward force of their genius, and they will never be calm till they have attained their predestined elevation. Lord Bacon says, “ as in nature tlringrs more violently to their place, and colony in their place, so virtue in ambition is violent, in authority settled and calm.” Mr. VVebster had a giantfs brain and a giant’s heart, and he wanted ,a giant’s work. He found repose in those strong con»- flicts and great duties, which crush the weak and madden the sensitive. He thought that, if he were elevated to the highest place, he should so administer the government as to make the country honored abroad, and great and happ at home. He thought, too, that he could do something to make us more truly one poop e. ’l‘his, above everything else, was his ambition. And we, who know him better than others, felt that it was a prophetic ambi- tion, and we honored and trusted him accordingly. r i ‘As a writer, and as a public speaker, upon they real: interests of his coutotry, Mr. Web» ster stands before us, and will stand beforethose who come after us, as the leading spirit of his time. Sometimes, indeed, his discussions may have been too grave to be entirely effective, at the moment of their delivery, but all of them are quarries of political wis- dom ; for while others have solved only the particular problem before them, he has given the rule that reaches all of the same class. As a general remark, his speeches are a striking combination of immediate etlhctireness and enduring worth. He never, indeed, goes out of his way for philosophical observations, nor lingers long; in the temptiiig regions of speculation, but his mind, while he advances strhigrlit to his main object, drops from its abundant stores those words of wisdom which will keep through all time a vital and ger- minating power. I-iis logic is vigorous and compact, but there is no difficulty in following his argument, because his reasoning is as clear as it is st1'o11g. The leading impression he leaves upon the mind, is that of irresistible weiglit. We are conscious of a propelling power, before which every thins; gives way or goes down. The hand of a giant is upon us, and we feel that it is in vain to struggle. The eloquence of Burke, with whom he is al- ways most iitly compared, is like a broad river, winding through a cultivated landscape; that of Mr. Webster, is like a clear mountain stream, compressed between walls of rock. But his claims as a writer do not rest exclusively upon his political speeches. I-Iis oc-- casional discourses, and his diplomatic writings, would alone make a great reputation. His occasional discourses rise above the rest of their class, as the Bunker Hill Monument soars above the objects around it. His Plymouth oration, especially, is a production which all, who have followed in the same path, must ever look upon with admiration, and despair. It wasthe beginning of a new era in that department of literature. It was the first and greatest of itsclass; and has naturally fixed a standard of excellence which has been felt in the efforts of all who have come after him. Its merits of style and treatment are of the highest order, and it is marked throughout by that dignity of sentiment and that elevating and stirring tone of moral feeling which lift the mind into regions higher than can he reached by eloquence alone. , His diplomatic ivritings claim unqualified praise. . Such discussions require a cautious as well as firm hand; for a single rash expression, falling upon an explosive state of mind, may shatter to pieces the most hopeful negotiations.» Mr. Webster combines great force of statement» with perfect decorum of manner. i It is the iron hand, but the silken glove. b He neither claims nor yields a single inch beyond the right. His attitude is neither ag- gressive or distrustful. « He is strong in himself, and strong in his position. His style is noble, dignified, and transparent- It is the “large utterance” of a great people. I: know of no modern compositions which, in form and subst-ance,_embody so much of what we understand by the epithet, Roman. .‘:$uch,indeed, we may imagine the state papers of the Roman Senate to have been, in the best days of the Republic. . o His ar uments,lspeeches, »occasioua1. discourses, and diplomatic writings, have all a marked , amilyylikeness. , They‘ are all characterizcdby strength and simplicity. Elie 22 . MR. HILLA1-in"s EULOGY never goes out of his way to make a point or drag in an illustration. I-Iis ornaments, sparingly introduced, are of that pure gold, which defies the sharpest test of criticism. He had more of iznagin ;tl1lOl1, properly so called, than fancy, and his images are more grand than picturesque. He writes like a man who is thinking of his subject, and not of his style, and thus wastes no time upon the mere garb of his thoughts. His mind was so full, that epithet and illustration grew with his Words, like flowers on the stalk. It is a strik- ing; fact, that a man who has had so great an influence over the mind of America, should have been so free from our national defects; our love of exaggeration, and our excessive use of figurative lzinguage. His style is Doric, not Corinthian. His sentences are like shafts hewn from the granite of his own hills-— simple, massive, and strong. VVe may apply to him what Quiuctilian says of Cicero, that a relish for his writings is itself a mark of good taste. He 1s_always plain; sometimes even homely and unfinished. But a great writer may be, and indeed must be, homely and unfinished at times. Dealing with great subjects, he must vary his manner. Some things he will put in the foreground, and some in the bacl:g1'ound; some in light, and some in shadow. He will not hesitate, therefore. to say plain tliings in a plain way. ‘~Vhen the glow and impulse of his genius are upon him, he will not stop to adjust every fold in his mantle. I-lis writings will leave upon the mind an elfclct, like that of the natural landscape upon the eye, where nothing is trim and formal, but where all the sweeps and swells, though rarely conforniinp; to an ideal lincof beauty, blend to,o;ether in a general impression of grace, fertility. and power. His knowledge of law, politics, and ogovcrnment was profound, various, and exact; but amen of lea1'11i119.n,', in the sense in which this word is commonly used, he -could not be called. His life had been too busy to leave much time for p1'olon,r.,red scientific or literary research; nor had he that passionate love of books which niadehini content to pass all his leisure hours in his library. He had read much. but not many books. He was a bet- ter Latin scholar than the average of our educated men, and he read the l?.on1an authors, to the last, with disci'iminating' relish. A mind like his was naturally drawn to the grand and stately march of Roman genius. ‘With the best Erialisll writers he was entirely fa- miliar, and he took great pleasure in reading thorn, and discussing their merits. ‘ To science, as recorded in books, he had given little time, but he had the faculties and org-aiiizatioin which would easily liavc made him. a man of science. He had the senses of an Indian hunter. Of the know1ed_r;e that is {gathered by observation -was of the names and properties of plants, the song and pluuiapqe of birds, and the forms and growth of trees ---he had much more than most men of his class. I-Iis eye was as accurate as his mind was dliscriminating. Never was his conversation more interesting than when speak- inc; of natural objects and natural phenomena. Ills words had the freshness of morning, and seemed to bring; with them the breezes of the hills and the fragrance of sprinc;. Mr. Webster, both as a writer and a speaker, was unequal, and from the nature of his mind andtemperament, it could not be otherwise. He was not of an excitable organi-‘ station, and felt no nervous anxiety lest he should fall below the standard of expectation raised by previous efforts. A I’Ience, he was swayed by the mood, mental or physical, in.- which each occasion found him. He required a great subject, or a great antagonist, to call forth all his slumbering power. At tiines, he looked and spoke almost like a super- human creature; at others, he seemed but the faint relics: of himself. His Words fell slowly and licayily from his lips, as if each cost him a distinct effort. The influence, 1 therefore, which he had over popular assembles, was partly owing to his great weiglit of character. - i l He had strong out-of-door -tastes, and they contributed to the health of his body and mind. lie was a keen sportsman, and a lover of the mountains and the sea. His heart warmed to a fine tree as to the face of a friend. He had that fonclness for agriculture and rural pursuits so common among statesmen. Herein the _,<.rr~ id scale of the whole man gave direction and character to his tastes. He did not care ior minute finish and com- pleteness on a limited scale. £18 had no love for trim gar:-dens and formal pleasure , grounds. a His wishes clasped the whole landscape. He liked to see broad fields of clover, with the morning; dew "upon them, yellow waves of grain, hearing and rolling in the sun, and great cattle lying; down in the shade of great trees. He liked to hear the whetting of the n1owcr"s scythe,the loud beat of the thre-sher’s flail, and the heavy groan of loaded wa_o;ons. The smell of the new—mown hay, and of the freshly turned furrows in spring, was cordial to his spirit. He took especial pleasure in all forms of animal life, and his heart was glad when his cattle lifted up their large-eyed, contemplativeifaces, and recog-l l nized their lord by a look. i i His mental powers were commended by aremarkable personal appearance. He was probably the granclcst looking man of his time. Wherever he went, men ‘l'.lJ.I‘11.- ed to gaze at him; and he could not enter a room without having every eye fastened upon him. His face was very striking, both in form and color. . His brown was to common brows, what the great domelof St. Peters is to the smaller cupolas . at its side. i The eyebrow, the eye, and thedark and deep socket in which it glowed, were full of power ; i but the great expression of his face‘ lay in the mouth. This was the most speaking and flexible of features, moulded by every mood of feeling, from iron severity on DANIEL wnssrnu. , 23 to the most captivating sweetness. I-Iis countenance changed from sternness to softness with magical rapidity. His smile was beaming, warming, fascinating; lightin upihis whole face like a sudden sunrise. Itlis voice was rich, deep, and strong; iil ing the largest space without effort, capable of most startling; and impressive tones, and, when under excitement, rising and swelling into a volume of sound, like the roarof a tempest. His action was simple and dignified; and in his animated moods, higlily expressive. Those of us who recall his presence as he stood up here to speak, in the pride and strength of his imanhood, have formed froni his words, looks, tones, and action, an ideal standard of physical and intellectual power, which we never expect to see approached, but by which we unconsciously try, not only the greatness we meet, but that oi‘ which we read. He was arnan more known and admired than iiiidei-stood. His great qualities were condpiciious from afar; but that part oi'_ his nature, whicli he shared with. other men, was apprehended by comparatively few. His rnanners did_ not always do l1ll"1'l,].l1.:'S‘l'.1Ct2. For many years of his life, great l),ni'dei1.s_ rested upon him, and, at tirnes, his‘ cares and thoughts settled down darkly upon his spirit, and he was then a man of an awful pres- ence. He required to be loved before he could be known. I*Ie,1ndeed, grappled his friends to him with hooks of steel, but he did not always conciliate those who were not his friends. He had alofty spirit, wliicli could not stoop or dissemble. He could nei- ther alfect what he did not feel, nor desire to conceal what he did. ll-lis wishes clump; with tenacious hold to everything.r they grasped, and from tliose who stood, or seemed to stand, in his way, his countenance was averted. Some, who were not unwilling to be-i come his friends, were cliangggccl by his manner into foes. lie was social in his nature, but not facile. He was seen to the best ziiclvautage among; a few old and tried friends, especially in his own home. 'l‘hen his spirits rose, his countenance expanded, and he looked and moved like a school-boy on a holiday. Clonscious that no uni'.i'ierir.lly car was listening to him, his conversation became easy, playful, and natural. His nicinory was richly stored with cliamcteristic anecdotes, and with amusing re1niniscenccs‘oi‘ his own early life, and of the men who were conspicuous when he was young, all of which he narrated with an admirable niir.turei of di,£§ni1;y and grace. 'l‘l1ose who saw liini in these hours of social easc,.with his arinor oft’, arid the current of his thoughts turning, gently and gracefully, to chance topics and faiiiiliar themes, could hardly believe that he was the same man who was so reserved and austere in public. But it may be asked, had this great man no faults? iiliirely he had. No man liveth, and sinnetli not. There. were veins of liunian iinpei'i"ectiou i'unriinp; tliroiigh his large heart and large brain. But neither men, nor the works of men, should be judged by their defects. Like all eminent persons he fell upon evil tongues; but those who best knew his private life, most honored, venerated, and loved him. He was a man of strong; religious feelinoy. For tl'ieologica1 speculations he had little taste, but he had reilectcd deeply on -the relations between God and the human soul, and his heart was penetrated with a devotional spirit. He had been, from his youth upwards, a diligent student of the .‘3c1‘iptu1'es, and few men, whether clergynien or laymen, were more ihiiiiliar with their tci:icliiiig;s and their l1il.I'l§‘.§l.1il,‘;},‘(‘3. He had a great reverence for the very words oi‘ the Bible, and never used them in any light or trivial connection. He never avoided the subjects of life, death, and ininiortality, and when he spoke of them, it was witliunusual depth of feeling and li‘11pl‘GSt4lV(2Ile:~3S of inaiiner. lliithin the last few months of his life, his thoughts and speech were often turned upon such themes. He felt that he was an old man, and that it become him to set his house in order. On the cighteentli day of January last, he had completed the thrcescorc and ten years, which are ma_n’s allotted portion, and yet his eye was not dim, nor his natural force inuch abated. But he grew. weaker with the approach oi‘ suintoier, and his looks and voice, when he last addressed us from this place, a few months ago, forced upon us the mourntlil rcflcction that this great light must soon sink below the horizon. . But yet, when the news came that the hand of death was upon him, it startled us like a sudden blow, for he was become so important to us, that we could not look steadily at the tlioiiglit of losing him. You reineinber what a sorrow it was that settled down upon our city. '.l‘he common business of life dragged heavily with us in those days. 'l‘here was but one expression on the faces of ineii. and but one question on their lips. We listened to the tidings which came up, hour after hour, from his distant chamber, as men upon the shore in a niglit of storm, listen to the minute guns of a sinking ship, freighted with the treasures of their hearts. The griei'oi' the people was eager for the minutest details of his closin hours, and he died with his coun- try around his bed. Oi‘ the beauty and ,<.rrandeur of t at death I need not speak to you, for it is fixed in your memories and cleepin your hearts.‘ It fell upon the whole land like a voice from Heaven. He died calmly, sim ly, and bravely. He was neither weary of life, nor afraid of death. He died like a lll1S]l)'l«'.Ll‘1(l, a father, a friend, a Christian, and a man ; with tlioiightful tenderness for all around him, and a trembling faith in the mercy of Goal. He was not tried by long; and l’lO‘[’.l0lEtl':lS suffering; nor were lli.‘3'f]‘l(i21lflS saddened, by seeing the spirit darkened before it was released. His mind like a setting sun, seemed largest at the closing hour. Such a death narrows the dark valley to a span. Such is a niidsummer’s day at the poles, where sunset melts into sunrise, and the last ray of avg. ning is caught up and .appears once more as the first beam of the new morning. 24' Mn. 1-rILLAnn’s EULOGY. I should not feel that my duty had been wholly discharged, did I not speak of the touching simplicity and solernnity of his funeral. In his will, made a few days before his death, he says, “ I wish to be buried without the least show or ostentaticn, but in a man- ner respectful to my neighbors, whose kindness has contributed so much to the happi- ness of me and mine, and for whose prosperity I offer sincere prayers to God.” His wishes were faithfully observed, and, in the arrangements for his funeral, there was no recognition of wordly distinction or official rank. He was buried simply as the head of a household, after the manner of New England. But the immense crowds which were there, drawn from all parts of the land by their own veneration and love, formed an -ele- ment of impressiveness far above all civic pageantry or military honors. 'Who, that was there present, will ever forget the scene on which fell the rich light of that soft autum- nal day. There was the landscape, so stamped with his image and identified with his presence. There were the trees he had planted, the fields over which he had delighted to walk, and the ocean whose waves were music to his ear. , There was the house, with its hospitable door; but the stately f0.rn1 of its master did not stand there, with outstretched - hand, and smile of welcome. That smile had vanished forever from the earth, and the hand and form was silent, cold, and motionless. The dignity of life had given place to the dig- nity of death. No narrow chamber held that illustrious dust; no coffin concealed that majestic frame. In the open air, clad as when alive, he lay extended in securing; sleep; with no touch of disfeature upon his brow; as noble an image of rcposingr strength as ever was seen upon earth. Around him was the landscape that he had loved, and above him was nothing but the dome of the covering}; heavens. The sunshine fell upon the dead man’s face, and the breeze blew over it. A. lover of nature, he seeinerl to be gatin- ered into her maternal arms, and to lie like a child upon a mother's lap. ‘We felt, as we looked upon him, that death had never striclcen down, at one blow, a greater sum of life. And whose heart did not swell, when, from the honored and distinguished men there gathered together from far and near, six plain hlarshfield farmers were called forth to carry the head of their neighbor to the grave l Slowly and sadly the vast multitude fol- lowed. in mourning silence, and he was laid down to rest among clear and kindred dust. There, among the scenes that he loved in life, he sleeps well. He has left his name and inernory to dwell forever upon those hills and valleys, to breathe a more spiritual tone into the winds that blow over his grave, to touch with finer light the line of the breaking wai£e,1to throw a more solemn beauty upon the hues of autumn and the shadows ot‘ twi lg 11?. l - But though his mortal form is there, his spirit is here. His words are written in living light along these walls. l\la‘y that spirit rest upon us and our children! May those words live in our hearts, and the hearts of those who come after us ! May we honor his memory, and show our gratitude for his life, by taking heed to his counsels, and walking in the way on which the light of his wisdom shines!
