Aroei w gifted with a handaome, per son, with a voice uncommonly clear and h-ar-moniwus, an J was rcuoartable for the winning auavity ani temperate dignity of hia 'manner. To these exterior advantage he united hat it much more important, a heart of the utmofct sensibility ; and that ardor of mind, that lofty enthusiasm, whih are usually attendant upon genius of the highest order. His morality was unspotted and unsptcied. Ino'eed aniidsl the rancor and virulence cl the contending parties, his integrity and honor have never bewi calkd in question. His patriotism wa'sas puieas his morality was sound- His speech upon the liritiaii trtity, may saleiy cnauenge a cojiri son with some of the most brilliant specimen of EnglislVtloqiience. The effects whith its delivery produced were so striking a to rival those ascribed to ancient eloquence He was then in appearance de scending rapidly to the tomb. Xlis aspect was calculated to excite the liveliest interest .and the whole scene to make the deepest impreion. Th; hall in which congress assembled was crowded with a brilliant assembly. When he arose, ail was nusuea into tne nion proiounu attention ; every eye was fixed uptu htm. In a low aid solemn, yet distinct voice, he pro nounced aa exordium, peculiarly adapted to his situation. -f. He then, ir. a fof c'lble argumentative and im passioned strain, answered & refuted 411 the ob jections which had been urged against the reso lution proposed tor carrying the treaty into cl- K ct. W hen he came to speak ot the consequen ces that would flow from a rejection of the re solution, his wholi Audience were tlectnhtd. His voice su.txmoued their imaginations to scene of horror, which wai described with a pa thos and energy never excelled; -Thev fanci ed that they listened to the voice of utspirariuti, and their minds were hurried along captive as by the reMatless lyre of: 1 imothtrus. - It was kind of eloqucace that has inflamed annus will fury ; that has appalled the guilty, and made Princes tremble on their Thrones. Of all our writers he is by far the roost elo quent. He has been frequently compared to Edmund Burke,' and in some respects there certainly ie a resemblance. Burke, though certainly one of the most splendid writers in the English language, is swelling, pompous, aud sometimis turgid. Ames is generally concise, always energetic, arid frequently pointed i though he in also figu rative and magmlicent. lln meianbors and figures are, however, for the most part origin al : and he is, in my opinion, even wore happy than Burke in the use of them. Ik does not pursue them so far. -His genius occasionally dazes out like the lightning of heaven. Its coruscations dazzle the eye and electrify the nerves. He sees his subject hot only clearly, i.

Hismode of reasoning is peculiar to himself: or, if a resembler.ee can be found, it is in that of Lord' Chatham.' He rarely descends the steps of a' logical deduction ; but his argu ments are nevertheless extremely forcible and conclusive. He was always glowing and ener- p;etic : aad,wherc the subject admitted, pathe tic and sublime. What gave peculiar force to his eloquence, was the strong, selfconvicrion which he alwavs manifested..
