C, XOVEMBER 7 1849. - - - - -- VOLUME MM619 A C;Addreg3 tbe late Hon. Wm. Gaiston, BEFORE THE TWO LITERARY SOCIETIES OF OUR nj'tij.. UJflVERSITYi JUJVk 20, 1832; ' ': ; '. continued. ' '" ;' Ymk my young friends, who are standing at the threshold, and , waiting with eager impatience the signal for entrance upon life, must not think that I mean to alarm you with idle fears, because I thus warn you of the approaching conflict The enraged bull tnay close his es before' he "rushes upon his foe, but rational courage cahy surveys danger, W prepares .4eermwe to Apprized of your peril, and armed for the . encounter, , enter on your course with resolved heartvandfear not for the issue ! So aweet are the notes of human praise, and so abhorrent the, tones of reproach, that it is among the highest efforts of magnan imity to pursue the straight forward course of duty; without being turned aside by 'commendation or reproof, by flattery or calumny. . WhatevlrWour journey ,throug1ilife, like the princes in the Eastern tale ascending the 'mountain in search of the, wondrous ' bnwe pe siTO.heaj; around us the confused sounds of blan- duhment and solicitation, of menace and insult, until with many of us, the giddy head is turned, and we are converted into monu ments of warning to those who. are to follow life's adventure. Rare, indeed, is that moral courage, which, like a prudent Paris ade, closes its ears -against the impression of these sounds, and casts not an eye behind until its destined course be accomplished. Raet however, as may be this excellence, and in its perfection perhaps I unattainable, there can be no true dignity and decision of character without a near reproach to it Let youth be ever mo dest, ever deferential ,to the counsels, the suggestions and the claims of others. But in matters of right and wrong, whatever be the lures,- the taunts, brj the usages of the world, or whatever the supposed inconveniences of singularity, let judgment and con science always rule with absolute sway, Carry this maxim with you through life, whatever be the station you are to occupy, or the business you are to pursue ; and carry with it another kindred maxim : rely for success in your undertakings, not on the patron age of others, but on your own capacity, resolution, diligence, and exertions. Rise by merit, or rise not at all. Suited as these in junctions are believed to be to all, they are peculiarly addressed to those among you, who, panting for renown, are resolved to en ter upon a public career, and long " to read their history in a na tion's eyes." "How wretched," exclaims the Poet of Nature, " is that poor man who hangs on Princes' favours." Miserable is the condition of every being who hangs on the favours of creatures like himself. Deserve, and strive by desert to win, the esteem of your fellow men. , Thus acquired, it decorates him who obtains, and blesses those who bestow it To them it is returned in faithful service, and to him in aid of the approbation of conscience to animate diligence and reward exertion. Those too, who engage in public service, are bound to cherish a hearty sympathy with the wants, feelings, comforts and wishes of the people, whose; welfare is committed to their charge. It is essential for the preservation of that confidence which ought to subsist between the principal and the lgent, the constituent and the representative, that all haugh tiness and reserve should be banished .from, their intercourse. ' It lometin&s happens, that he who has lived, too constantly among books, manifests a disgust in an association with the uneducated and unrefined, which mortifies and repels them. This is absurd in him, and unjust to them. It is absurd, for he ought to know, and know well, those' for whom, and upon whom, he expects to act they constitute, in fact, one of the first and most appropriate objects of his study ; and it is unjust, for not unfrequently under this roughness which shocks the man of books, is . to be found a stock of practical information, in which he is miserably deficient Banish,1 then, all superciliousness, for it is criminal and ridicu lous. Honestly seek to serve your country, for it is glorious to advance the good of your fellow-men, and thus, as far as feeble mortals may act, up to the great example of Him to whose image and likeness you are made. Seek also, by all honest arts, to win their confidence, but beware how you prefer their favor to their service. ' The high road of service is indeed laborious, exposed to the rain and sun, the heat and dust ; while the by-path of favor has, apparently , at first much the same direction, and is bordered with flowers Sbd sheltered by trees, " cooled with fountains and murmuring with' waterfalls." No wonder, then, that lik$ the "son of Abensina, in Johnston's beautiful Apologue, the oung adventurer is tempted to try the happy experiment of " uniting pleasure with business, and gaining the rewards of diligence without suffering its fatigues." But once entered upon, the path of favor,, though found to decline more and more from its first direction, is pursued through all its deviations, till at length even the' thought of return to the road of service is utterly abandoned. To court the fondness of. the people, is found, or supposed to be easier than to merit their approba'ion. Meanly ambitious of public trust without the virtues to deserve it ; intent on personal distinction, and having forgotten the ends for .which alone it is worth possessing, , the jjniserable, being concentered all in self, learns to pander to every vulgar prejudice, to advocate every popular error, to chime in with every dominant party, to fawn, flatter, and deceive, and becomes a demagogue. How wretched is that poor being who hangs on the people's favor ! All manli ness of principle has been lost in this long course of meanness : he dare not use his- temporary popularity for any purposes of public good, in which there may be a hazard ot iorteiung it ; and the very eminence to which he is. exalted, renders but more consDicuoushis servility and degradation. However clear the convictions of his judgements, however string the admonitions of his, as yet not thoroughly stifled conscience, not these, not the Uw of God, nor the iule of right, nor the public good -but the -caprice of his constituents, must be his only guide. Havins risen by artifice, and conscious of nowbrth fo fupport him, he Is in hourly dread of being supplanted; in'! the favor of the deluded multitude by some more cunmner deceiver. And such, sooner or later, is sure to be his fate. At some unlucky moment when he bears his blushing honors thick upon him, (and well may honors blush !) he is jerked from his elevation by some dexterous demagogue, and falls unpitied, never to rise affain. And can this be the . lot of him who has been here trained to admire and love high-minded excellence- who has been taught by high classical authority to regard ' with the same fearless and immoveable indifference, the stem countenance of the tyrant and the-wicked ardor of the multitude, and who has learned from a yet higher and ' ' holier authority,' to hold fast on "whatsoever thmg8 are lrue whatsoever flMng8 'sare honest whatsoever things are just whatsoever things are pure, to abhor that which is evil and cleave to that which is good?" .Believe me, however,' this is no fancy picture. The original mayi be found in' the world verv day. 1 Nor will it surmise those who have had occasion to see how the vain heart is sworn, and the giddy head turned, how honesty ot purposer and manliness of .spirit are perverted by popular applause. ; .'It is but the first step that costs. . . Once yield to the suggestion, that a little deceit or prevarication, , a slight sacrifice ot principle .. and. -independence, a compromise of . con science in matters not absolutely fundamental, may be excused when, the immediate gain is obvious and the end in view impor- rani, ana tne downward path becomes every day more and more smooth, until, in its descent, it reach the very abyss of vulgar, . "T7"! "'bSi eiecuoneenng; omce-nunung politicians, in this lowest depth alower deep can be found, none of us, I me, wr.p tunosiiy io explore it . y. TO Bit CONCLUDED IN OUR NEXT. If am PATRICK HENRY by winslow tract. w It ia the mind ttot makea.the body rich; - And m the sun shines through the darkest clouds, So honor 'peareth in the meanest habits.'" . Among those of our proud land who have ' reared for them selves on the solid foundation of real merit a fame which shall stand, a monument of glory tamid the Solitudes of time,' no one has commenced lower and men higef than Patrick Henry. In claiming for Mr. Henry this! proud station, I would not detract in the least from the dearly-bought and well-deserved fame of his worthy compatriots ; many bf whose names appear more con spicuous on the page which records the great events of our country's, history. In the hearts of their countrymen, in the thanks and plaudits of the millions who are yet to come along the tracks of the future, to enjoy 1 those glorious privileges and civil liberties, there is glory and honor enough for them all. Their names have not been , written in the sand, that the first gale that sweeps along the plain might bury them in oblivion. They have been interwoven with the very fabric of our free government and can be erased anly when that shall have crum bled and washed away in the vortex of political dissolution The heroism of a Washington might lead a brave people to victory ; the wisdom of a Jefferson direct the decisions of sage legislators; but it required the eloquence of a Henry to arouse that feeling of patriotism which prompted the heroes of Seventy six to that soul-trying struggle for freedonl. And when the A merican people cease to honor his name, we shall behold them in chains weeping at the tomb stone of liberty. He was the first American legislator who opposed the odoius and obnoxious stamp act. When the Continental Congress had assembled, he first dared to break through the gloomy cloud of fearful anxiety which overhung that venerable body, and portrayed with une qualled skill the oppression of colonial wrong. He first ex claimed, the war is inevitable; let it come.' He proposed and headed the first military movements in his own native State, io support of the cause of independence. He was the first Re publican Governor in the State of Virginia. Then rimy we not agree with America's great statesman, in saying, " Mr. Henry certainly gave the first impulse to the ball of the revolution?" That first impulse was given in a speech by Mr. Henry, in the House of Burgesses of Virginia, in which the character of the King for the first time in America, was publicly arraigned and denounced. It was during his speech that he gave utterance to that memorable sentence, which created against him, from the "minions of an arbitrary Prince, the cry of Treason ! He said, Cssar had his Brutus, Charles I. his Cromwell, and George III. may profit by their example.' Patrick Henry was a prominent example that Greek and Latin alone do not form the man; that true greatness is native in the man, not dependent upon external conditions.. At twelve years of age he was an idle fishing boy- at fifteen a clerk in a count, ing house at twenty honestly delving the dusty earth with bis own hands to obtain a livelihood at twenty four a bankrupt merchant at twenty seven suddenly bursting from obscurity into a rich popularity, by a bold, noble, and astonishing display of those mammoth powers of mind which had so long remained shrouded in darkness by the mantle of his own sublime contem plationat forty the first orator in America, and, in the language of Thomas Jefferson, the greatest orator that ever lived.' There is something in genuine eloquence at once so supremely grand and majestic, as tocoustrain us to confess it the summit of human dignity. The artist may please the eye, the musician the ear, the poet the imagination, and the inspiring power of song, and the sweet melody of the vocal harp, attuned in harmo nied unison, may warble forth their loftiest strains, and gratify for a while the finer feelings of our nature ; but it is left to the orator to combine all these super-eminent powers in thought, word and action ; for the orator to strike all the pleasure giving chords of our being's nature, and make them vibrate symphonies of delight to the human heart. The cunning of logic may convince the understanding. Elo quence does more- It unlocks the human heart, unhinges obstinacy, burls down superstition, arouses to real and engaged activity, elevates, charms, and enraptures all the ennobling energies, sways the judgement ' and shakes the human soul.' Such was the power wielded by Patrick Henry; and never was a power wielded in a better cause, and with better success. His genius was an accurate mirror of the human heart, and re flected in ail its Protean like shapes and chameleon hues, which enabled him to spring the chord appropriate to the occasion, and always command the feelings of his hearers. His eloquence came from the full fountain of his understanding, and flowed in a channel far superior to the splendid decoration of art, because it was nature's own. At times, like the limpid stream, it pearled along the grassy dale, mourning in tones of silvery sweetness ; then, in; comic playfulness, dashing down some little steep ; then swelling into a broad stream, winding and roiling onward through beautiful woodlands and verdant landscapes, enriched by the choicest evergreens of fancy, tinctured by the various coloring of pas sion, then making many circumlocutions, unobstructed, in the ettensive field of argument then in matchless grandeur, like the roaring cataract, with boundless force, plunging down a huge precipice, overhung with high rocks and craggy mountains, or the deep torrent's swift and irresistible overwhelming opposition in the depths of its waters. He did not resemble the eccentric meteor, which shoots along the sky, dazzles, . and sinks below the horizon, but exciting our wondering curiosity. Nor did he resemble the silvery rnoon, effulgent with borrowed light; but like the sun, he shone with his own original lustre like that emblem of superior greatness, he ever presented the same ap pearance. He was always the ardent lover of liberty the pa triot, the philanthropist, and the orator. He rose with the splendor of the morning sun, illuminated an ever glorious day, and set amid the grandeur of moral sublimity. His motives pure 'his objects noble his achievements, great he won Liberty for his countrymen, and immortality for him self. His last appearance in public forms an anecdote which, as re lated by his biographer, is illustrative of the whole man. Think ing his country needed his services as a legislator he offered himself as a candidate in his county. As he appeared to bis constituents on the morning of the election, the people thronged about him in mass, and gazed upon him with that feeling of awe . and reverence- with which the great and noble benefactors of mankind are ever beheld. A clergyman present, raising his voice in reproof against the people, said, " Why du you follow Mr. Henry about with so much adoration he is not a god, but a man 1n Mr. Henry replied with aparAo which suffused all to tears who heard him. No, no, indeed, my friend, I am not a god, but a poor worm of the dust, as fleeting and unsubstantial as the shadow of the cloud that floats over your field it dieappears, and it is remembered no more forever." SOCIETY OF WOMEN. No society is more profitable, because none more refining and provocative of virtue, than that of refined, and sensible woman, God enshrined peculiar goodness in the form of women, that her beauty-might win, her gentle voice invite, and the desire of her favor persuade men's sterner souls to leave the path of sinful strife, for the ways of pleasantness and peace. But when woman falls from her blest , eminence, and sinks the guardian and the cherisher of pure and rational enjoyments into the vain coquette, and flattered idolater of the idle fashion, she is unworthy an hon orable man's love, or a sensible man's admiration. Beauty is then at best " A pretty play thing, Dear deceit' We honor the chivalrous deference which is paid in our land to woman. It proves that our men know how to respect virtue and pure affection, and that our woman are worthy of such re spect. Yet woman should be something more than mere woman to win us to their society. To be our companions, they should be fitted to be our friends ; to rule our hearts they should be deserving the approbation of our minds. There are many such, and that there are no more, is rather the fault of our own sex than their own and despite all the unmanly scandals that have ' been thrown upon them in prose and, verse, they would rather share in the rational conversationomen of sense, than listen to the silly compliments of fools r: 4n2 'mafldishonors them as well as disgraces himself, when he seeks their circle for idle pastime, and; not for the improvement of his mind and the cultivation of his heart. i !i :- - Dry, Goods Establishments.
