xneeker then the late Senator Haync. There was
sincerity. an apparent candor, fairness, open
ness. generosity, and magnanmi,y IN his dePor',
ment and language, that won upon ono more s"'
more every day. This is much the case Oh M',
Calhoun. One never detects him ~ any sa"s

himself 90 sraskly, so boldly, with SO much solemn"
carncstness, and serious enthusiasm, that mao "s

had sound principles, none would hesitate IN ranK
ing him with the very FIRST mon OF his country
Mr. Calhoun is no orator, and yet he encha'ns
the attention of an auditory. His voice is bad, his
action is bad his whole manner is in the very worst
{ tasleand yet all listen TO him with lively interest
/ Blu, ;e has many of tic gifts Of the orator lie
is luen, and ready. He never says more than he
ought to say lie almost always says something
/ new. lie puts upon his face an earn sness, ano
sincerity and candor, which force attention. IL
is the absence Of all oraiorcal art in his manner
that often gos upou the auditor. He talks 50 much
like the cnrucs, everyday man, that you are COM
PEELED 10 believe him sincere. II is not pleasing or
a.ory 1t is the eoquencc Of Cicero, or Pitt, but
the eloqicnce Of an American, who seems for the
. first time in his lie to have opened his mouth IN
public and he pouring from his heart deep feel
ngs, and from his mind deep streams Of reflection
is the cloquence Of Tacitus OF Hannibal voci-
, fcratng from the Alps, A" Hannibal Ycto paeem, "
10 or Of Bonapartc in his Cabinet Councils, or at
If s, Helena, with al OMcara, striking off axioms

s. his thous hts, RICH, wrong. lie is man TO make

q leave others to cxpound them.

give people full idea Of a man, if can, even al
,c the risk Of Incoming tcdious-supose tall and
,s rather slender man, with eye like hawks ant
