of very little interest.

with a new political arrangement which is like

n the physical, moral, and political

vul,ions in the physical, moral, and political
world"
As proofofhis independence and intrepidty
OF character, might cite the passage, in which
he declared that ,oi all his partialiiies for Eng
land, he should be opposed to an alliance with
that country or any other for any purposes what
ever. Had his antagonist in the debate, or al
most any other member ofthe house, made such
a declaration, it would have rung through the
country, and perhaps have blasted his political
prospects. Another instance of his indepen-
dencc may be found in his defence of the Turks.
IN opposition to the sentiments not only of this
country, but of the whole civilized world. His
vindlcation of that barbarious nation was ipoe-
NOUS and even plausible. He represented the
Ottoman Porte as the most stable government in
Europe, pursuing its own course, never. med.
ding with the affairs of its neighbors, sometimes
cruel and despotic, but never resortinp to the
sword for the sake of conquest, or further than
was necessary for its own protection.
1t is in fact much more christian in its policy.
than some of the mostcatltotic and most christian
majesties of Europe. In fixing OH an enemy,
the Sublime Porte should be the last 10 be Sc
lectcd by the United States, since that power
had pursued plain straightforward policy
Constantnople was the only capital, that had not
IN modern times been entered by foreign enc
my. Catharine of Russia had placed over the
gates ofone of her cities, Z" the road to Byzan-
tlum;" but to use Virginia phrase, she had
found it Il very stunpy road.
