capable of Il stronger, more unrelenting pas
sion 1t is hard enough for an individual,
when contcnding all alone for an interest or
an opinion, to keep down his pride, wilful-
ness, love of victory, anger and other per-
sonal feelings. But let him join multitude
in the same warfare, and, without singular
sclf-control, be receives into his single breast
the vchcmcncc, obstinacy and vindictiveness
Of all. The triumph of his party becomes
immcasurably dearer to him than the princi-
pie, true or false, which was the original
ground of division. The conflict becomes
struggle not for principle but for power, for
victory; and the dcsperateness, the wick
cdncss of such struggles, is the great burden
of history. In truth, it matters little what
men divide about, whether it be foot Of
land or precedence in procession. Let
them but begin to fight for it, and self-will,
ill-will the rage for victory, the dread of
modification and defeat, make the tr1e as
wcighty as matter of life and death. The
Greek or Eastern empire was shaken to its
foundation by parties, which differed only
about the merits of characters at the am
phithcatre. Party spirit is singularly hostile
to moral independence. A man, in proper
ton as he drinks into it, sees, judges by the
senses and understandings OF his party. He
surrcndcrs the freedom of a man, the right
of using and speaking his own mind, and
echoes the applauses or maledictions, with
which the leaders or passionate partizans see
fit that the country should ring. On all
points parties are to be distrusted; but on no
one so much as on the character of oppon-
cnts. These, if you may trust what you
hear, are always men without principle and
truth, devourcd by selfshness, and thirsting
for their own elevation, though on their
country's ruin. When l was young, was
accustomed to hear pronounced with abhor-
renee, almost with eXecration, the names of
men, who are now hailed by their former
foes as the champions of grand principles
and as worthy of the highest public trusts.

years have corroborated, will never be for

highly crcditable knowledge of his profess

acquaintance with pure mathematics as
applicable to Astronomy, Navigation and
Surveying, was known to you all. He
was familiar with several of the modern
languages of Europe; and who has not
seen the chaste, beautiful and faithful
productions of his pencil, with which his
portfolio was enriched In regard to his
intellectual character he possessed mind
of the first order. His conceptions were
clear, concise and vivid. His Judgment

Underwood possessed belonged to Henry:
with Il due reference to the difference
between them in age, and experience in
