AMERICAN STATESMEN.

prodigious eyes, those heavy shoulders Inat iron built frame, point out Webster. How like Satan himself he can look, ana what malicious smile! He talks as if he were telling a plain story, not enthusiastic Dut concise and clear. His arm comes up as lifted by spring. He speaks like one rom the grave-So solemn and so seVeIe. AmO" the lion is aroused. What a voIce The sentences leap into life, with well-timed met anhor. skillfnllv interwoven-all perfectly wrought out. Yet Webster is man ot no imagination. He has a well-dsciplined taste and give him clue to figure, ana he will trace it with force and beauty"
 CALHouN.-" That slender built man, ap- parently about fifty years of age, in blue coat, with bright buttons, frIzzly head' ana an eve like a hawk, erect and earnest, with mouth partly open-that is Calhoun. lie is not an orator-yet few command so much attention-none more; his voice is bad; his gesticulation is without grace. He IS zeal- Ous and enthusiastic, but without being iran. tic his apparent candor, earnestness ana sincerity command attention; ms Volce ! struggles in his throat, and you almost un. derstand the thoughts swelling there and they soon rush out as fast as words can con- yey them. He speaks in debate, as farmer in earnest, would talk to his boys, or mer- chant to his clerks. .,
 CIAY.-" That tall, we'll l-formed man, with a wide mouth, and countenafce indicating every change of thought within, is Clay. He has been so often described, that shall dwell upon him briefly, here. Nature made him an orator to figure in a free government: In despotism, his head would have reached the block for his impudence before ne was thirty. He is good at every thing; nth'I te. tiget, q,.od non or nGrit. have never heard such voice it is equally distinct and ciear' whether at its highest key or lowest whisper rich, musical and captivating; his action 1 is the spontaneous offspring of the passing thought. He gesticula.es au Orer. The holding of his head, hung on long neck his arms, hands, fingers, feet, and even his spectacles and pocket-handkerchief aid him l in debate. He steps forward and backward, and from the right to the left with effect Every feature speaks. The whole body has it's story 10 tell.
 PREsroN.-"T That tall, red-headed man, with large, manly figure and full face, IS Preston, the member from South Carolina = He looks as if he had long lived under the rays of southern sun. Preston IS sn' gene. ris. He talks poetry, all in rich array and gorgeous sentences. When there IS a storm in the Senate they hang him out as a rain bow and although the rough clouds often darken his glittering hues before the storm is hushed, hot tempers are cooled and spirits are softcncd, by the dazzling arch and the rich interlacings of his bow. His is unPre- meditated elequence. He does not. like Sheridan, mark in his orations the place 10 introduce Good God! MT. Speaker The incidents of debate suggest all his fine sen- tences; his gestures are admirable. No American orator is more graceful-tew have more art; and yet few understand so we'll the 0rs celGre Grtem. Such man was necessary in the Senate. All the kinds ot eloquence that Cicero describes. are now exemplified and illustrated in that body, and no two are formed on the same model"
