Its con ceptions are peunle, its style oiten feeble nnd obscure. sometimes turgid and bombastic, and its principles mere inventione to suit the chief object of his discourse. He seemf? first to have formed Certain conclusions, and; then devised premises to sustain them ; , and in this effort he has done violence to the eommon sense and fixed principles of the whole American people. ' The first sentence of this oration is faulty in its conception. His audience have scarcely fixed their eyes upon him, when he turns their attention to "a speaker far more competent to borrow, for support in his flight, tie wings of imagination." Tne third sentence redds thus : - I . ; "The discourse of reason,, though looking before nnd After, is bounded in its visioij by an horizon ; and elo quenoe herself, perhaps, best performs her. appropriate office by silence on exhausted subjects." " Herei before the mind has had time to fix itself upon the subject of the oration, it is called off to con template a "discourse" with eyes, looking before and behind, and all around the horizon. It would not be a bad figure, perhaps, to give eyes to " reason;" but to give them to sound to a discourseis as absurd . and offensive as to give ears to sight. A look listen ing is not worse thart rf discourse lookingj j Before the mind ca.n-6atch the speaker's meaning in this figure, it is required'to contemplate " eloquence - se'eloquence persbnificd. The word is de rived from two latin words which eu Our profound scholar here says, that speaking out is best performed by saying nothing1 It is one of the first and most important lessons taught at school, that the first sentences of a dis course or dissertation, should be distinct in thouo-ht ajid plain in style. The mind should thus be brought to mink upon the subject in its solid parts, when it Will be prepared with more delight to behold the or naments which genius and eloquence may cast around it. But our orator, in his verv first para graph, has vl u period stretching," a speaker flying on me borrowed wnigs o imagination, a dis course" with eyes and " eloquence herself jioing most by doing nothing. In page 24, speaking of the confederation, he 6ays : 'It was a bloodless corpse! Fire from Heaven alone could have given it life; and that fire, unduly sought, bropght with it Pandora and her box." ( We do not comprehend our orator's meaning. Here Hsa " bloodless corpse," nothing but fire from Heaven will give it life; that fire was sought, and it brought with it lady Pandora and her box.
