THE HON. EDWARD EVIEET2'.

Among the

its oontained in the news

brought I; the Ails is that of the death of Mr. Everett,
formerly minister of the United Meta to this omit& Mr.
Hmeett wee 'mown to • large motion of society in
this oountry, and the news of his death will smite kindly
regret beyond the circle with which his political duties
brought him into contact. Mr. liverett wee hors is Dor-
charter, Massachusetts, is 1794. He was educated at
Her and College, and adopt's" the prefeselos of his father,
became pastor of • United's church in &Mos. In 1814
he was appointed to • newly-founded profernenhip
of Greek litemaue is his own university, and the
LaMar to quit, bissself, mine to Swops, and stu-
died for two years at the University of Otathigeo. Is
1818 he was is &liked, remiving kind attentions from
Scott, Machiltesh, Romilly, and other,. On his return he
addramed himself with vigour to the duties of his post,
seeming at the mune time the editorship of the North
Ass noon Review. Is 1824 he delivered the first of those
ocossiosal sod ceremonial addressee for which he afterwards
became famous. It was • discourse before a learned society
as " The cirmunstasees favourable to the cultivation of

literature in America." There was as immense audience,
for it was understood that Lafayette was to be there.
Sinop theca he has delivered *ratios' on almost every topic
which the history, sheath:as, and hopes of his country
can ingest, and always to admiriog bearers. In 1824
Mr. Everett was elected to Commons, his nominatlos hav-
ing been made without aissulting him, sad the body of
his supporter') comprising man of all parties. He sat ten
years is Coignes, during the whale of which he was a
member of the Committee of Foreign Affairs. A very
large proportion of the reports of committees pressated
during his membership were from his pen. In 1827 be
addressed a series of letters to Mr. Canning on colonial
I trade. In the autumn of 1834 he was chosen Governor of
Memachuastte, to which be was three times re-elected. His
period of °aloe was marked by the organisation of the
Board of Pducatioe, the establishment of normal
schools, the ecieutiflo :and agricultural surveys of
the State, and the establishment of a com-
mission for the revision of the criminal law. In 1840 he
again visited Europe with his family, and spent nearly a
year in France ad Italy. It was st this time that, on the
reeolarmodation of his Mead Mr. Webster, General liar-
Aeon's Secretary of State, be was appointed minister of his
country at the court of St. James's. At that time a number
of thorny questions urgently seeded settlement. These
ware the recent burning of the Caroline, the cam of the
Creole, disputes concerning Orem', and the seism and
detention of Americas mode by British cruisers on the
coast of Africa. Oa all these questions Mr. Everett was
left without specific instructions, sod to the un-
fettered exercise of his own judgment, and although
the settlemeet of the Oregon difficulty was re-
served for other hands, he succeeded to the satisfactica
not only of Mr. Webster but of his three successors in the
Secretaryship of State. In 1845 Mr. Everett returned home,
became proadent of Harvard College, and published a
collected aditters of his own speeches. In 1852 he became
President Fillinords Secretary of State. Daring his admi-
nistration the copyright cooventiou with this country was
aegotiated. But the question which attracted moat collets
daring his period of office was the joint proposition of Ree-
ked and Francs to linter with the United States into •
tripartite convention for guaranteeing Cuba in perpetuity
to Spain. This proposition, which below) to a stage which
oar diplomacy in its programs has left far behind, was
dichosa in • despatch by Mr. Everett, which was marked by
great ability, and also by some of those disagreeable features
which& soteurprise us so much as they should In American
State papers. In 1863, Mr. Everett was elected • Neuter
for Massochtmetts, but was compelled to resign his seat in
the following year by ill-health. Since that time he bay not
held any high offioe, although he was a candidate for the
vice-presidency in 1860. On the great question which was
big with the fate of his coustu the course of
Mr. Everett was not satifsetory. Like Webster,
and so many others, be sought the praise of moderation
and good taste at the sacrifice of the sterner duties which
vete called for by the magnitude of the evil to be 000011/3.

laelsoess left the duty of resisting slavery, the parent of
barbarism, to the simple sod the rude, while they esjoyed
a fastidious leisure. In 1826 Everett declared in the House
that be was " reedy to shoulder • musket to put down a
