Animated by the zeal of a pbilantbropist
he made hitnself acquainted with the laws
of all nations, and the contents of every
treatise on crime and punishment whicH
could be discovered in Europe. He main*
tained an extensive correspondeitce with
tiie most eminent, political philosophers of
the age, and among others, with Bentham,
by whose enlightened advice he profeicea to
have largely profited.

. tratiun of tho character ef the roan. Hia
' labors connect;d tvitb the code were already

' In person, .Mr. Livingston is rather tt«
' hove the middle height. His countenance,
though without elegance of feature, is pe-
j culiarly pleasing, from the benevolence of
I its expression, unusual at his years, whicb
lights up bis eye when he discourses oa
any interesting subjcct. His manners are
those of a finished gentleman; yet rather, I
should imagine, the spontaneoiKs result of
' an innate aud natural delicacy of thought
I and feelinc, than of intercourse with poU
I isbed society. To the courtsey and kind-
' ness of this eminent individual, 1 feel deeply
; indebted. It is with pleasure, that I nour
! give public expression to those sentimenfg
of admiration and respect, which 1 shall
ever entertain for his character and talents.
I D.iMFL Websthk.—The person, how-
I ever, w ho has succeeded in rivetting most
I strongly the attention of the whole Union,
[is undoubtedly Mr. Webster. From the
ICiulf of St. Lawrence to that of Mexico,
from Cape Sable to Lake Superior, his
' name has become, as it were, a household
I word. iMany disapprove his politics, but
i none deny his great talents, his unnvalled
' fertility of arguments or his power, evea
still rnoro remarkable, of rapid and compre.
' hensive induction. In short, it is universal-
I ly believed by his countrymen, that Mr.
i Webster is a gr«at man; and in this niat-
' ter I certainly make ne pretensions to sigu-
larity of creed. Mr. Webster w a usan oC
w bom any country might well b«' proud.
His knowledge is at once extensive and min
ute, his intellectual resources very jfreat;
'and, whatever may be the subject of duicus.
Sion he is sure to shed the light of an active,
acute, and pfiwertul mind.
1 conte-ss, however, I did meet Mr. Web*
ster under the influence of some prejudice.
From the very day of my arrival in the U-
nited States, I had been involuntarily fa
miliar with his pretensions. Gentlemen
, sent me his sjieeches to read. hen X
; talked of visiting Boston, the observation
i followed, “Ah! there you will see .Mr.
Webster.” VVhen I reached Boston, 1 en-
'Countered condolence on all hands. “ You
are very unfortunate,” said my friends-
, “ .Mr. Webster set out yesterday for Wash
ington.” V' benever at Philadelphia anti
Baltimore, it became known that I had
I visited Boston, the question “ Did yr-u sea
, .Mr. W ebster was a sequence as conatant
I and untiring as that of the seasons.
The result of all this was that the nama
I of \\ elister became invested in my ear witli
an adventitious cacophony. Is it not plea-
; saiit to admire upon compulsion, and the
very pre-eminence of the gentleman bad
b«“en converted into something of a bore-
To Washington, however, I came, armed
w ith letters to the unconscious source of oav'
annoyance. 'I'he first night of my arrival
I met him at a Iwll. A dozen people point-
I ed him out to my oliservation, and the first
i ulance riveted my attention. I bad never
seen any countenance more expressive
intellectual power.
' 'I he f'orehead of Mr. Webster is
broad and advancing. The cavity beneatU
the eyebrow is remarkable large. The eya
i is deeply set, but full, dark and penetrating
in the highest degree; the nose prominent,
and well defined, the mouth marked by tha
iigid compression of the lips by which tha
I Now Knplanrtcrsare distinguished. When
Mr. WehMer'scountenance is in repoee, tha
: expression it ctinimunicati*s is al ©nco
I chanjjed. His vmce is cieur, sharp and
I firm, without much variety of niodulutiou ;
hut when aiiiiiiated, it rings on the ear like
; u clarion.
j As an orator, I should imagine Mr. Web-
, stor’s forte to Ix; in the de[)artment of puro
