pleadlngs of apowerful advocate, with a
vast ret staining fee, a most comprehensive
cause, and a most generous and confding
client. Popularity, popular claims, and
the people, were all three made for him
beyond all other men; and no advocate
ever pleaded with more interchangeable zeal
or more resolute determination. But,
raised to higher position, higher quail
ties were demanded. Whether they might
not have existed in his nature, waiting
for the development Of time is the ques-
tion.--But time was not given. His task
had hitherto been easy. twas simply to
stand as spectator Ola the shore, critici-
sing the manHuvres of stately vessel
struggling with the gale. The helm was
at last put into his h and; and it was then
that he felt the difference between terra
frma and the wild and restless element
which he was now 10 control. But he
lad scarcely set his foot on the deck,

brevity OF trial, it is impossible to Judge.

leader Of party, he mighr then have

der of people. The singular daring,
ardent sensitivenes, and popular ambition,

bier employment, and been purified in
