| The lofty brow, the dark and cavernol,s eve.
and the heavy, deep-toned voice, might alone
enchant a gazing auditory. These ir1part
TO his calmer and ordinary discourse q seri
Gus earnestnesS, and senatorial dignity -
but in moments Of high excitement, by no
means Of frequent occurrence; they seem
like the hiackness, and fire, and rolling peals
of the o'"r-charged and bursting cloud.
His style is remarkable for its simplicity.
10 utter thoughts of the highest order; in
language perfectly simple; by lucid ar
rangement and apt words, to make abstract
reasoning and the most reconcile principles
OF commerce, law, and politics, plain to the
humblest capacity, is a privilege and power,
in which Mr.. Webster is equalled, probably,
by no living man. This simplicity, which is
apt to be thought so easy of attainment, is,
nevertheless, in this, as in most eases, I'M
doubleday the result of uncommon care
Like the great Athenian orator, Mr.. Webster
IS always full of his subject. Like him,
when most simple in his diction, he is yet
admirably select. Like him, too, he can
adorn when ornament is appropriate, and
kindle, when occasion calls, into the most
touching pathos, or Hottest sublime.
AS public man, Mr.. Webster is eminent
~ American. His speeches breathe the pu-
rest spirit of broad and generous patriot
ISM The institutions of learning and liber-
ty, which nurtured him to greatness, it has
been his filial pride to cherish: his manly
privilege to defend, if not to save. In no
emergency, on no occasion, where he has yet
been called, have the high expectations
formed Of his abilities, been doomed to dis
appointment. The time-honored rock of the
Pilgrims; Bunker's glorious mound; and
old Faneuil Hall; have been rendered even
more illustrious by his eloquent voice. Arm
ed at all points, and ready alike for attack
and defence, he has been found equally
great, whether wrestling with the champions
of the Law, before its most august tribunal,
or contending on the broader field, and in the
hotter conflicts of Congressional warfare
We cannot say that it is matter of regret
to us, that he is no longer candidate for Of
flee, though that office be deemed the highest.
The Senate-the SENATE is undoubtedly his
true sphere of beneficence and glory. There
may he long be found, foremost amid the
mighty names, which are at once our crown
ofprde, and tower of strength.
