votcdncss to aims, and his great adroit-
ness in destruction and blood shed, was
deemed by them, as evidence of true
greatness. He was indeed the most
brilliant hero that ever wadcd through
blood to conquest, or that ever loaded
the limbs of freedom with tho CALLING
chains OF tyrany. CESAR was no less
ambitious than Victorious He cnslavcd
his own country. He wadcd to domi-
Mon through rivers Of human blood.
And after having conquered the world,
and manned, and murdered thousands Of
mankind, he fell beneath the dagger of
his adopted son; Il victim to ambition.
The garland that graccs his brow, the
very next moment adorns his tomb
CESAR knew how to conquer, to muir
der, to spread devastation and ruin, but
he knew not how 10 obtain that great
ness Of fame, which is true and genuine
that cnllghtcns the soul-calms tho
hcavings OF unhallowcd ambition, and
humblcs the man. His greatness was
that Of 4 mad, blinded conqucror who
delighted in proi'usion Of blood, and not
that Of sclf-denying dcbascd philanthro

we'd from his imputed greatness, by the
splendid endowments Of his genius. Elc

his language, the greatness Of his
achievements, and the SUCCESS that
crowned his cxcrtions. IIc proved that
he knew more than 10 conquer But
tho noble critic, who pronounced CT:
sAE's mritinxys sublime, hath been dcri-
dcd, with scotflngs and gccrings But
he who pronounced CESAR truly great,
hath not only been permitted to pass un-
ccnsurcd, but gained appreciation
and much applause. Now CESAR, was
as far from great, as his writings arc
from sublime. Nay! he was much
further His writings were sublime
They speak forth the true noblcncss and

consist not merely in having that name

cannot IN the classification of truly

would be madness in us to class the
wild careers Of the murdcrous con-
qucror, with the career Of those men,
who have sacrificed not alone their
worldly interest for the good ormankind,
but have been engaged through life in
deeds OF charity, and virtue. He is

companion Of valor and address; bu, Of
true mcckncss Of spirit. and Godlmcas
OF Ii eart. MORRISON. whose noble bosom
filled with the richest blessings Of God.
and who from the real and natural inn
pulses Of his magnanimous and gene
rous soul, travcrscd Europe, visiting the
low y cells Of loathsomc dungeons. and
dirty novels Of neglected and uniortu-
nate human beings, preaching to them,
and lnStructng them, in the wisdom and
knowledge of God, was truly great.
Like PAUL in Athens, fearless he stood
upon the walls Of China and held forth
the Bible. and in bold defiance to the sa-
crcdotal tyrany Of their priests and
kings, and with an arm unshakcn with
fear, he drew aside The vail which con.
ccalcd from infatuated millions, the de-
graded dclusion of their idolatrous and
mystical religion. lie taught them that
ignorance is the parent Of vice and sll-
pcrStitIon, ana that knowledge peace and
justice arc tho teachings of the Bible.
Thus the name OF MORRISON has come
down to us, dcckcd and adorned with
the finest tin$cls of glory, and bearing
too; reputation that neither, the dyes OF
malice can stain, nor the frost Of envy
nip, but will endure and brighten viii.
revolving years.
And again, in til" actions OF the IN
yielding martyr, who wrcatlinr be-
Meath the .orluriny sconr@r OF I. pcrsccu-
, tcrs hand; stands forth, firm in the spiri,
OF his cause, undamu the lorri,i ami fear
iul Gloom of death procIans aloud the
great injustice Of religious Intolerance,
wc behold Il spirit Of magnanimi,y, cha
ractrristic oi none but tho good and the
great. The Jealous missionary too, who
lorsakcs his own home, with all that is
near and dear, and repairs perhaps to
ica,hcn lands to undergo life of toll
and vcxing cares, is indeed truly great.
The names and greatness Of MORRISON.
and the noble saint, who suffered mar
tyrdom on Smytl-Gcld, will stand untar-
nishcd by the mockings and sco(inss
OF infidcls, and will endure as lasting
monuments Of greatness, when tho
names of NAPOLEON, ALEXANDER and
CESAR, will be cntombcd in forgclful-
