Address by the late Hon. Wm, Gastonlfc
BEFORE THE TWO LITERARY SOCIETIES OF OUR
UNIVERSITY, JUNE 20, 1832.
- (continued.
You, my young friends, vrho 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
may close his eyes before he rushes upon his foe, but rational
courage calmly surveys danger, and then deliberately prepares
and determines to encounter it. Apprized of your peril, and
armed for the encounter, enter on your course with resolved
hearts, and fear not for the issue.
So sweet 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
tamed aside by commendation or reproof, by flattery or calumny.
Whatever be our journey through life, like the princes in the
Eastern tale ascending the mountain in search of the wondrous
bird, we are sure to hear around us the confused sounds of blan
dishment and solicitation, of menace and insult, until with many
of us, the giddy head is turned, and we arc 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.
Rare, however, as may be this excellence, and in its perfection
perhaps 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 wroug, whatever
be the lures, the taunts, or 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
matim : 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 sen-ice,
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 agent, the constituent and the representative, that all haugh
tiness and reserve should be banLhed from their intercourse. It
sometimes 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,
ancHcnow 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 stuly ; and it Hunjust, 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, then, all superciliousness, for it is criminal and ridicu
lous. Honestlv seek to serve vour countrv, 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. 1 ne high road ol 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 and sheltered by trees, " cooled with fountains and
murmuring with waterfalls." No wonder, then, that like the
son of Abensina, in Johnston's beautiful Apologue, the young
adventurer is tempted to try the happy exj)eriment of uniting
pleasure with business, and gaining the rewards of diligence
w ithout 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 serv ice is utterly abandoned.
To court the fondness of the people, is found, or supposed to be
easier than to merit their appro!: a 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 miserable 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! AU 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 of forfeiting it ; and
the. very eminence to which he is exalted, renders but more
conspicuous his servility and degradation. However clear the
convictions of his judgements, however strong the admonitions of
his, as yet, not thoroughly stifled conscience, not these, not the
law of God, nor the rule of right, nor the public good but the
caprice of his constituents, must be his only guide. Having risen
by artifice, and conscious of no worth to support him, he is in
hourly dread of being supplanted in the favor of the deluded
multitude by some more cunning deceiver. And such, sooner
or later, is sure to be his fate. At some unlucky moment, when
lie bears his blushing honors thick upon him, (and well may such
honor blush !) he is jerked from his elevation by some more
dexterous demagopie, and falls unpitied, never to rise again.
And can this be the lot of him who has been here trained to
admire and love high-minded excellencewho has been taught
by high classical authority to regard with the same fearless and
m moveable indifference, the stern 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
things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things are pure, to abhor that which is evil
and cleave to that which is good?" BeUeve me, however, this
is no fancy picture. The original maybe found in the world
every day. Nor wilf it surprise those who have had occasion to
e how the vain heart is sworn, and the giddy bead turned, how
honesty of purpose and manliness of spirit, are perverted by
popular applause. It is but the first itep that costs. Once yield
to the suggestion, that a little deceit orrevaricaiion, a slight
sacrifice of principle and independence, a compromise of con
science in matters not absolutely fundamental, may be excused,
when the immediate gain U obvious and the end in view impor
tant, and the downward path becomes every dar tnore and more
smooth, until, in its defecnt. it reach th verr abvss of vulvar.

" ' PATRICK HENRY t wthilow tract.
ft i. lb kind makea'iht Jwd'rkli; " "
Afel aa tk win sblaea through the darkest cloaks,
S koaar pemh in the mwraot habits.' "
Among those of our proud land who, havai reared, fof them
selves on the solid foundation of real merit, a fame which shall
stand, a monument of glory iAmrd the. solitudes. of time.'nq, fn
has commenced lower ' anf risen rhiger' than" Patrick Henry. u: In
claiming for Mr. Henry this proud station, I would not detract in
the Least lrom the dearly-bought and well-deserved fame of his
worthy compatriots ; many of 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 those glorious privileges ana
civil liberties, there is glory and honor enough for them all.
Their names have not bocn written in the sand, that the first
file that sweeps along the plain might bury them in oblivion,
hey have been interwoven with the very fabric of our free
government, and can be erased only 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 toe eloquence of a lleury to arouaq
that fe-iling of pitriotioi which prompted tUa heroea of , Sevitly
six to that soul-trying struggle for freedom. And when, the A
merican people cense to honor bis name, we shall behold them
in chain weeping at the tomb stone of liberty. lie was the
first American legislator who opposed the odious and obnoxious
ntamp act. When -the Continental Congress had ast'-mbled, 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 comt. He proposed
and headed the first military movements in hi own native State,
in support of the cause . of independence. He was the first Re
publican Governor in the State of Virginia. Then miy we not
agree with America's great ttaietman, in saying, " Mr. Henry
certainly gave the first impulse to the ball of the revolution 7"
That first impulse was given in a spr-cch by .Mr. Henry, in the
Hmise 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 upeech that he gave utterance to
that memorable sentence, which created painst him, from the
minions of an arbitrary Prince, the cry of TVro ton f He said.
'Cssar had his Brulu, 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 driving the dusty earth with hi
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, nobhf, and astonishing display
of those mammoth powers of tniud which had 90 long remained
shrouded in darkness by the mantle of hia own sublime contem
plation at forty the first orator in America, and, in the language
of Thomas Jefferson, ' the greatest orator that ever fired.'
There is something in genuine eloquence m once so supremely
grand and majestic, as to coustrain 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 tbe orator to strike all the pleasure giving
chords of our being's nature, and make them vibrate symphonies
of He-light to the human heart.
The cunning of logie may convince the understanding. Elo
quence does more. It un leeks the human heart, unhinges
obstinacy, hurls 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 niwer wielded by Patrick Henry ; and never
was a power wielded in a belter cause, ami with better success.
His genius was an accurate mirror of the human heart, and re
flected in all its Protean like shapes and chameleon hue, which
embled 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 time, like the limpid stream, it pearled along the grassy
dale, mourning in tones of siirery swet-tuess ; then, in comic
playfulness, dashing down some little steep ; then swelling into
a broad stream, winding and rolling onward through beautiful
woollands and verdant landscapes, enriched by the choicest
evergreens of fncy, tinctured by the various coloring of pas
sion, then making many circumlocution, unobstructed, in the
extensive 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 iiresislible 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 curioily Nor did he
resemble the silvery moon, effulgent with borrowed light; but
like the sun, he shone with his own original lustre like thai
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 nobh -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 trioe man. " 'Think
ing his country heeded his services as a legislator, he offered
himself as a candidate in bis county. As lie appeared to his
constituents 00 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 clerg)man present, raising his voice in reproof agninst the
people, said, Why do you follow Mr. Henry about with so much
adoration he is not a god, but a man Tn
Mr. Henry replied with a pathos which suffused all to tears
who beard him. ' No, no, indeed, my friend, I am not a god,
but a poor ironst of the dust, as fleeting and unsubstantial as the
shadow of the cloud that floats over your field -it ditapptars,
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
Utauly might jvin, her gentle voice invite, and the desire of her
favor persuade men's sterner souls to leave the path of sinful
strife, for the way of pleasantness and peace. Bui when woman
falls from her blest eminence, and sinks the guardian and the
cberislier of pure and rational enjoyments intalhe vain coquette,
nd flattered idolater of the idle fashion, she is unworthy an kon
orabjo man's' love, or a sensible man's admiration. Beauty is
then at best'" v -
t "A pretty pla thing.
Dear deceit." '
We honor the chivalrous deference which is paid In our land
to woman- Ilprove 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 lo their society To be our -companions, they ehoeld
be fitted to be our friends f to role oar hearts I bey should be
' deserving the -approbation of our niieds.: .There are many sueh,
and that there are no more, is rather .the fault of our own -ex
than their own; and despite all the .womanly scandal ihal have
been thrown upon, them in prose and verse, they .would rather
share in the rational conversation of coeq of sense,' than listen
to ibe silly compliments of fools , and a man dishonors tbcm as
well as .disgraces htmselC-jrbear he seeks
their circle for idle pastuae, and not for the
improvement of hia mind and the cultivation
of bis heart. -v
