ately preceding the dynasty of the Caesars Rome
was divided into two great and powerful factions
headed by the most iilustrious of the age, C;c-
sar and Pompey. Then, in our own time, all the
passions ieengs prcladices, animositles and vices
OF our nature, were brought into full action serve
the purposes and ends of party and the s:Nstress of
the World" trembled and tottcred to her base with
the violence of the contest. Cesar and Pompey
were IN arms, and In this state ofthngs all eyes
directed to Marcus Brutus, lwho has been enlphati-
caly styled the last of the Romansl to ascertain
what party he would espouse II was generally be-
ieved he would join Cesar, as Pompey and himself
were at variance and did not even exchange saluta-
tons when they met.his father having been put to
death by Pompey and moreover they differed some
essential measures of State With Ctesar he was
on the most intimate and friendly terms and it is
supposed by some historians they were closely allied
and we all remember that feeling remark of Casar
when he perceived Brutus among the conSpirators
and his then dignied Submission TO the dagger of his
adyersarics. Yet with that noblcncss of soul which
always distinguished him, and which is connec-
ted with true patriotism, Brutus sacrificed bis pri
vate feelings to the interests of the Commonwealth
and joined the standard of Pompey.- this sIora
statement, Mr.. President, give you,
Henry CLAy-The Marcns Brutus of the Re-
pub!Ic.-lie The Noble Roman, though an enemy to
Adams, he became his friend: though friend To
Jackson. lie became bis enemy. His enrnty and his
friendship arose from the same princpiethe good Of
