"What earthly happiness can his transcend,

The gifted mind, and frees its struggling powers
From their incumberIns thrall The JOYS sublime
That fill his SOUL extend, like his kind deeds,
Beyond the transient scenes OF Times brief span
His wealth not lavisl,ed on ambitions toys
Or lieess idols reared by wastetul Pride,

The last fifteen days, have been marked by a Sc
verify of weather, seldom experienced, even in this
northern climate, where winter even in its mildes
aspect, fills the bosom with gloom and dependency,
though its dreariness is sometimes enlivened by the
social circle. around the cheerful freside. Al this
dreary season, It is a most impossible to form any
thing like correct estimate, of the sum Of humar
suffering, experienced by the INDECENT and wretch

About ten days since, we witnessed scene OF

e, his art The benefits thus derived, have greatly
SISTED him IN pursuing his studies, and have ais
ended to enhance the prospects ofhis rising repu'
tation.
NIR. BOWMAN, at present resides in Birmingham
in the family of Mr.. Van Wart, the brother in law
of Washington Irvine, and in that city has opened
:sllery of paintings. which have been visited by our
distinguished countryman Mr.. CARTER, one OF tho
Editors Of the New York Statesman, who. in one oi
us letters, speaks Of Nj. Bowman, and his perloI-
mances in terms of,he highest respect and commen-
iaton.
During his residence in England, Mr.. Bowman
has received many marks of cvilty and attention
from those whose friendship is always desirable
and who render their influence and aid 10 the :ruy
meritorious only. That eminent artist-the Benja-
min West and Sir Jo.hus Reynolds Of the day Sir
Thomas Lawrence Of the Royal Academy, has no
nced his genius, has applaudel it, has encouraged
it, and pronounced him one of the most promising
painters OF the times, and has remarked, do most
sincerely believe that Bow man, will at no distant
day supply the vacuum, which has been caused IN
the world Of the arts by the demise Of our lament
ed WEST. and sustain the high reputation which
that great master ofour art, acquired not only for
himself and his country, but for England and the
age"
We learn, that il is the intention Of Mr.. Bowman
It is expected that he will not only add greater dig
nifty to the reputation Of his pencil, but bring from
those classic grounds, interesting delineston OF
those scenes and those Deeds for which they are 50
lust v celebrated. We wish him health, happiness
and success, in all his undertakings and laudabls
| adv ventures.
Whilst contemplating the history Of this favour
ed child OF genius, led to depore that We OF
America, do so little for our Own countrymen, and
| by our apathy and neglect, compel them to seek
| for fortune and for fame, among those who derde
and coutem US. and sneeringH ask "who reads an
American book? What has America done for the
science. $, Tor the arts, or for literature"
If We would but encourage our own genius, re-
ward our own talent and stimulate our own worth,
the day would soon arrive. when we should present
to the world, a catalogue of names, which in all
that !. brilliant and celebrated, would vie with that
which Europe points to with exultation, ana
scornfuly asks where are our competitions:
But we Lstrust our own merit, we neglect aud mall
treat our own ofspring-wi,h a mggardly aspect
we turn from them, and in a freezing tone, tel
them 20 look for patronage and for fame, among
strangers, to combat with prejudice, and content
uJth .neers AM contumely and when ye have at
tanned the summit Of yIur fame,-when ye need
none Of our patronage or aid-when Europe hu
claimed ye asher own, and blazoned your merits
to the worid.-then will we take ye into our fold
We will caress and applaud ye, and turning to the
realms of the east, exultinsly exclaim, these are
our offspring-the.e are AMERICANS.

nessr been found among those who oppose the
General Government in measures adopted for the
good of the Union.'' When that Union was
threatened, and the public cause demanded it, she
and other patriot States were foremost in sustain
ing the Federal Government in the exercise O
every power, necessary to maintain our honor and

common to every form OF government. 1t is not
among The least remarkable OF the revolutions of
the day, that, with little exception, those who
were so lately distinguished for their resistance of
federal power, when the crisis required its full
exercise, should be now, from motives, perhaps
too obvious TO be questioned. most jealous III

At such a moment, It is some consolation TO the

From the duties Of The orator, let us direct
our attention to The faculties which he is called
to exert
Whatever may be the sphere in which the
orator may move, he will be required to exert
to the utmost, eUery faculty Of the mind; and
his distinction will be in proportion to the lib
crafty with which nature has endowed him
with memory, imagi', alton, and judgment.
Without memory retentive s. faithful how
impoverished his mental acquisitions, how lin
tied his range Of thought, how unable TO call
forth, upon emergencies the little knowledge
he has gained, and to what notifications must
his plumbers and hesitations expose him!
Without an imagination e1uberant and Gre
alive, striking out into regions never before
explored, fertile alike in topics Of illustration
and argument, collecting from experience
whatever can convince, and from nature what
ever can adorn, his language will be destitute
OF vividness, his sentiment Of coloring, and his
thoughts OF force
Nor is judgment less essential 1t is the
principle and the controlling power, in proper
ton as the imagination is creative and discur-
sive, should the judgment be cool and discriIn-
mating 1t is by Judgment that the magma
ton must be regulated and directed in its lof-
test flights; FOR according to the ascension is
the danger Of the fall. And without this facul-
~, the illusions of the orator will be uumean-
ing vagaries, dazzling by their brilliancy, or
