Eloquencc is of various sorts as well
as Of different degrees. The cloqucucc
Of one orator may rival that Of another
without at all resembling it. There are
MIR. CLAY and Mr. WEnsrrn-who
will deny to either, of them, or to Mr.
SERGEANT or Mr., WRIT, thc need of
eloqucncc; And yet how little COM
parIson can be drawn between them!-
One Of the most eloquent men we ever
heard l., at times, Mr.. BunGEs, Of
Rhode Island In the case of this
gentleman, his Squire and appearance,
and his known anliable character and
strongly marked moral qualities, 90 TO
increase the effect of what he delivers
with SO much energy. There are cir
cumsanccs Of his life which, where
known, give a thrilling effect to scmc
passages of his speeches. He has had
the misfortune to follow to the grave
several grown children, Of distinguished
talent and merit, having r)st all his
children but one, who is now the hope
and solace of lis advancing years.
With this fact impressed on the mind
the reader will find in the close of the
following extract from Il speech lately
delivered by Mr. BvRGEs at public
dinner given to him by his constituents,
"A touching instance of the power Of clo-
qucncc and feeling united.
"Our candidate for Governor is ac-
cused of having been born in Vermont.
OF all the events of Il mans life, this is,
especially, the one for which he cannot
be made accountable. 1t cannot be
denied, that the place of our birth is
ever dear to memory. The green hill
top, from which the young eye first
looked at the rising sun, the brook, the
forest, the field, where, in early life,
we have sportcd or labcrod, | know
cannot be forgotten Indeed, this truth
to the land of our birth, is the highest
pledge which we can give that we shall
keep faith and allegiance with the land
Of our adoption. The same principle
carries US from the bosom Of our parents,
to that oi moro cndcared relation. -
Leaving no matter what other land, we
are united to this State, by relation as
holy as wcdIock; and those who have
been Joined by the sacramcnts of God,
let not the sacrllcgious hand of man at
tempt TO put assundcr. We can, |
know, though not without sigh, depart
from the graves OF our fathers, but,
Oh! who can ever tear himself from the
tombs Of his children"

Mn. VAN BrREN AND THE PorE.-
A good deal has been said in some
private circles, within a few days past,
about letter written by Mr.. Van
l}urCn, while Secretary of State, To
His holiness" the Pope; a copy of
which was reported to have been
brought to the United States by gem
tlcman recently from Rome, and ts
purport to have been, among other
things, 'that the Catholics were very
numerous in this country, highly res
pectabIe, and poriicnioriy .tororoble to
/ The present naturalization" 1t turns
out, on inquiry, that no copy Of the let
ter has been brought to this country,
and that It's contents are very imperfect
|ly known. Whether it was intended
to bring about a union Of "church and
it, is one of the mysteries which only the
initiated can explain. We take it for
granted there must have been some
other object than simply to tell His
Holiness that ''his subjects residing in
the L States would be protected in all
their civil and religious rights Iftho
Pope knew any thing about our in
stltutlons and government, he would
have known this without being told of
it: and if de did not, we think the Hon.
Secretary was not bound to inform him.
However, it will be seen from the fol-
lowing, which has been furnished us i'll
answer to our inquiries, that the letter
so enlisted the feelings of His Holiness
in favor Of the Americans that he ex-
cuscd number Of them from the honor
of kissing his great toe!
"Whcn | was in Rome, March,
1880 1t was currently reported that the
Pope had Just received letter through
the American Consul, from Mr.. Van
Burcn, assuring him of the protection of
his subjects residing in the United
States, IN all Mcu CARL and religions
rights did not see the letter, and
cannot speak with any certainty of ts
contents; but it was well known Mt
Rome that such n letter had boen re-
ccived, and | have only repeated the
current phraseoogy used by the Amcri-
cans there, in speaking of the circum-
stance.
cit is possible that some Of the
Americans who were intimate with the
Consul, were informed by him Of the
tenor of the letter. This however is
certain, though perhaps unimportant,
that, in consequence of receiving the
letter, the Pope expressed a desire that
some Of the Americans then in Rome
might be presented to him, and small
party were presented by the Consul, tho
Pope dispensing with tho ceremony of
kissing his toe. n. j."

at was probably the mostc humorous
meeting Ola deIiterativc character which
ever assembled in IA city, even where the
objects have been free from party distinc-
tons. 1T was indeed surprisingly large,
considering the great numbers Of our cit
izcns either in the public employment
themselves or having relations in the pub
lie employment, who could not, therefore
be present, however heartily they ap-
proved Of the object ofthe meeting, with
out dlsregardlng every consideration
which prudence suggests in these days
of prescription and punishment of polti-
cal opinion. Mr.. Nathan Smith presi
dcd, assisted by Mcssrs. J. Bender AMI
K. {. Wcightman; and Messrs. u. Force
and George Sweeny, acted az socretar-
les Several resolutions were reported
by committee, (of which Gen. Walter
Jones was chairman cmlncntly iorcl-
BILE and eloquent, and were adopted with
great applause and unanlmity. Several
gentlemen also addressed the meeting at
considerable length, and with powerful
effect, and the asscmbagc did not ad-

for assistance in obtaining his pay. Tho
purchaser beginning TO suspect that the
Joke was in train to be turned upon himself,
offered ten dollars TO the basket merchan;
# he would take his baskets and be off.
But no; Jonathan who had been a deputy
sheriff some where back in the woods,
guessed he knew what he was about. He
had sold his baskets, and ne would have
his forty dollars. The purchaser, thinking
he was not holden by the fictitious paper,
and that he had offered the man liberal
compensation for the trouble ne had caused
him, refused to do any thing more about it.
The quondam deputy, who it seems knew
something about handling the edged tools
of the law, was determined to have the
whole amount of the bond, and accordingly
left his grist in law-mill and departed.
The affair was ground out at the present
sitting Of the Court, when it appeared that
the little forty dollar grist that had been
thrown into the hopper had swollen to near
ly a hundred and forty dollar affair, afford
ing good fat toll for the miller, and slice
here and slice there, for ull the laborers
round about the mill.-Poriiand Courier.

CONCLUDED in our merit

MULTIPLICATION COMPOUNDED. The
District of Spartanburgh, in South Carolina,
was lately said to he inclining towards null
lification and on the strength of this i'm,
preston, the Free Trade and State Rights
Association" alias the Modification Club,
recently formed within the District, called
meeting on the 5th inst, at the Court
House, az which the citizens generally
were invited to attend. After organizing,
it was proposed to turn the meeting into
one of the District generally. This propo-
sition was rejected by the society upon
which it was proposed that all opposed to
notification should leave the room, and con-
vene elsewhere. Accordingly the mass o.
people moved of, leaving a skeleton meet-
ing Of thirty or forty nullifers. They as
sembled to the number or between n thou
sand and ], 500, organized, and sent COM
mittee to invite the "Free Trade Associa-
ton" to attend. The latter accepted the
invitation, and had the pleasure of seeing,
on division, a series Of resolutions de-
them and their works, carried by
n vote Of 700 10 40, which forty were them
selves.
