of defeat. In the eloquence Of Mr..
r. there is nothing PerluaGve-It
would feem as if the energy of his
mind, could never ftoop to the arts
Of oratory-Ih The animation Of his
manner, the digni6ed chaitity of his
tyle, the frOng and perlpicuous view
which he always takes OF his fubiect,
command from his audience the
mott profound attention to him in
debate. Mr.. r IS not indeb:edjto fam
cy- his tyIe Of oratory is hyperion to
the decorations of brilliant magma
tion-he exhibits his fuhiect naked
1t has the nerve Of Hercules, and
is not relaxed by Gngle feature of
Aa6ni5.
With the mott powerful talents,
with hyperion cultivation Of mind,
and with the mott unfufpected fin
cerity in the exprelGon of his opinions,
MIR. K. is not calculated for popu-
lar leader. The arts Of Cancellation
are unknown to him governed by
the dictates Of his own manly iudg-
ment, he cannot conceive that depen-
dence which the minds of others
feel upon it. II is thus that he never
has been known to coufult, to advife,
or, compromiie. His proportions
are original they are brought for
ward without one enquiry Of who IS
to fuPport or who is to oppofc them ?
Confcious of the purity of his own in
tentions, and latisGed with the cor
rectnefs of his own judgment, he
wifhes not to defend the one, he
feeks not to confirm the other, by his
perfonal popularity, individually,
there is no man in the diitrict, who
is not better known, or whose man.
ners and habits are not more pleafing
to the people, than MIR. RS. II IS
probable that if his election were put
on that iiIue he would never have
held feat in Congrefs. About him
there is an atmosphere of repulfon.
which few dare penetrate, but ne
who has the frmnefs to do it, is en-
inently rewarded. The principles oF
Mr. X. are modelled on the Rneff
icale of virruc and rectitude ardent
aud afe6tiouate in his dilpofition, he
is iutcePtiblc Of frong and perma-
nent friendlhips. His private hilfory
abounds with evidences of the mott
humane and philanthropic feelings.
Altho' Mr.. R poaehes general iufor-
nation, he cannot be conGdered
literary character. Except minute
knowledge of hifOry and geography,
his reading has been otherwiGc fuper-
fetal The wit of Mr.. r. is too of
ten INDUCED without regard to its
effects on the feelings of others.
