are those who appreciate the system, as feel
convinced, that once taken up with that energy
which so characterize our friends on your side
OF the Atlantic, no interested motives on the

this great boon to the many: and hope that
every State in the Union will selec, suitable

Tmr ELoQurNCE or MorIoy. William e.
Pre,,on.-Eyery one has read OF action, action
action of Demos'henes, and Of what variety OF
emotion and passion Roscus could express by
mere gestures; let it not be supposed, howev-
or, that such projections of art belong to the
ancients ouly. The following unecdote of VIM
c. Preston, is illustrative of our remark:
Some years ago, among thousand of others,
we were listening TO one of his splendid haran-
cues from the stump. Besides us was one, as
dearas a post, in breaihless attention, catching
apparently every word that fell from the orators
lips. Now the tears ofdelight would roll down
his cheeks, and now in an'ungovernable costa
CIV. he would shout out applause, which might
been mistaken for the noise of small thunder
storm.
"At length Preston launched out one of those
passages OF massive defamation which those
who have heard him know him 10 be so capable
OF uterng In magnificent splendor It was
what Byron has described the mountain storms
Of Jura. Its effect upon the multitude was like
a whirlwind. Our deaf friend could contain
himself no longer but bawling into our ear, as
if he would blow open with tempest, "who's
that speaking ," crieG he.
AVN G Prestou," replied we-as loud as
our lungs would lot us.
"Who J" enqured he still louder than before.
"Wm. c. Preston, of South Carolina, replied
we, almost splitting our throat in the effort.
"Wel! well'-returned he-"l can't hear
darn word he or you are saying, bit gieai
Jerico don't he do the motions splendid ~
