FROM THE NEW YORK AMERICAN.

Remarks, oceasioned by a rerieo Of The career Of
JOHN LILBURNE.--lt is in seasons Of political ex-
citement, that remarkable characters exhibit them
selves. Then all the energies Of the soul are stmu-
lated into action and the peculiar situations into
which many are thrown, are calculated TO bring &c
light and efficacy whatever talents lay hidden and
dormant. Men, whose talents would have shone
within very contracted sphere-whose names
would almost have been forgotten by the genera
ton which succeeded them-have been elevated to
stations, beyond the ardent aspirations even of
their youthful imaginations, and gained reputa-
tion which has long bid defiance to the assaults Of
time. The warrior, like meteor blazing across
the horizon Of life scattering destruction in his
path the object Of admiration to some, and Of dis
may to many the legislator, with the hand ofpoli.
tIcul wisdom. laying the foundation stone Of in
iant nation--the orator, whose powerful declama.
tion could agate the feelings, fire the ZEAL and fix
the determination Of his hearers, may be claimed
the offspring Of national revolution for it gave
them an opportunity Of exertion.
National commotion has been productive Of cha
racters remarkable for their eccentricity. The
events that excite the feelings, generally quicken
and inyigorSte the imagination. He who beholds
incidents 10 a different light from others-the eye
of whose mind 10 bent upon objects and results
with which 10 him they seem pregnant--while, IN
the estimation Of the majority Of mankind, his views
are visionary and dextravsgant-must, IN his habits
actions and manners necessarily appear singular and
eccentric. He lives, as it were, in q world Of his
own creation. The images Of things that will be,
crowd upon his mind, and like the Highland seer,
Literary cadet, and Saturday evening bulletin. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1826-1827, 1826-11-11

In his impatience Of the smallest error

caust to his devotion TO the right cause.
But when he once believed, after many
| staggering doubts and painful struggles,
that this was no longer possible, when his
chimeras und dreams Of human perfecti-.
biIity vanished from him, he turned sud-
denly round and maintained that "N hatever
IS, is right" Mr. Southey has not forti-
tude Of mind, has not patience to think
that evil is inseparable from the nature Of
things His irritable sense rejects the
alternative altogether, as weak stomach
rejects the food that is distastelul to it, He
hopes on against hope, he believes in all

or on imaginary good. He missed his way

proprlety laid to his charge and if he has
many enemies, few men eau boast moro
numerous or stauncher friends. The va
riety and piquancy Of his writings form a

Skiddaw. Study serves him for business,
exercise, recreation. He passes from
verse to prose, from history to poetry, from
reading to writing, by stop watch. He
writes fair hand, without blots, sitting
upright IN his chair, leaves off when he
comes to the bottom of the page, and
changes the subject for another, as oppo-
site as the antipodes His mind is, after
all, rather the recipient and transmits

to arrive at any great leading truth. His
passions do not amount to more than ira
tibility. With some gall in his pen, and
coldness in his manner, he has a great deal
of kindness IN his heart. Rash in his
opinions, he is steady in his attachments
and is man, in many particulars admira-
BILE, in all respectable---his political incon-
sistency alone excepted!
