MIR. KERcHEyAL's GRAFTON

MIR. hERCiEN AIS GRAFTON.
Favored with the perusd of This Gentle.
nau's Grafton, and,having given it detbe
rate consideration, we cannot, now that it has
been laid before the public eye, through the
medium of news paper, permit ourselves TO
remain altogether silent as to its merits
merits; for. although, as impartial and un-
icassed critics, it is our duty to blame as we'll
have pleasure in yielding the tribute of gra.
tulation, in favor of an oratorical effusiou,
which we Lad the pleasure of bearing, and
~ which, at the tine Of its delivery. We ven
1ured 10 pronounce decidedly-favorable o.
pinion. We feel no surprise that some gen.
tlsmen who heard this Grafton, should have
passed upon it nothing more than the ordi-
nary compliment of its being 'sw.ll written"
or "sensibiy expresp-though, Indeed, this
faint praise" if sincere, as we entertain no
doubt, is more perhaps, than can with justice
be affirmed of twentieth part of the ora,ions
yhat were delivered on the late anniversary.
We never were admirers of the Phillipian
oratory We are not partial TO his SO much
rxtolled style of speaking. We Can dispense
with that abundance of metaphor.-,hat fans
tastic iiagle,-'hat ahiterature verbiage--
that cxuberance OF imsgination,- that prone.
ness for the mere ct Pre,erea mihi-which
the speeches of that celebrated orator display.
We wish for something solid and substantial.
We desire some hing more than brilliant ide~
as, Offering images and mere gew.gaw ora
tory. We are not amongst the number of
those ''aspiring geniuses," who "dare to
snatch the Prnmethian fire from Hetven.' in
order to astound aud conloun6 their fellow
mortsIs. We are PLAN, humble, unasPirirg,
terrestrial critics, and are content with earthly
images, earthly figures, and earthly sentiments.
and according to our ;aste, is the Grafton now
before us,-Earthy undoubtedly, as contain.
ine PLAIN, good sense. and sensible earthly re a"
soning, but not "of the earM earthy; "for we
feel we'll persuaded that 1t VIII long survive
vast number of the ephemeral and inflated
speeches of our modern celestial orators.
Appointed by the Literary Society Of Rom>
neY 10 deliver this Grafton, Mr.. Kerrhev,
discharged his duty in manner that was not
only pleasing but edifying to lis members and
acceptable to the public. For our part, we
freely confess, that we have derived two.
fold gratiRcatioa from this Grafton. We fel'
gra, flied at hearing it; and we now feel more
so, at seeing the very respectable appearance
winch it makes in your independent paper
Oar prsises, it is true, are not disconnected
with the feelings of friendship; but they are
honest, they viii wear well. for they are
nierited. ANXIOUS.
