GREAT MEN.

II is aremarkable fact that so few of the
first class of American Statesmen attain the
highest honors ofofficial rank. II we look
al other countries, we find their first men
connected with The Administration of public
affairs. Say what we will as TO the cause,
il must be admitted az great misfortune
that the office of President, requiring for
efficient and faithful exercise the first talents
of the land, is so often filled by politicians of
inferior calibre, aud that other public trusts
OF the. greatest magnitude, are so frequently
confined TO commonplace hands.
We may mention some names as examples
Of this remark HENRY CLAY is states
man and orator whose fame is as wide as
the world. DANIEL WEBSTER is anoih-
er of the giants which our country has pro-
duced and his colossal intellect is as great
an object of admiration in England as in
America. JOHN G. CALHOUN possesses
Justly an Europeon as well as American rep
uiaiion for talents of The highest order.
Yei the. first of these is in private life-Mr.
J. K. Polk having been elected over his
head. The other Two, either of whom
in point Of intellect, would grace the loiii-
est station on earth, are in the Senate, while
YIN 10 iOStuCut, duu SUN lliCu MARCY.
Johnson, Walker, &c. in the Cabinet.
May we not attribute much of the evil
with which the country is now menaced to
the election ofinferor men TO her places OF
power aud responsibility? IF the Baltimore
Convention had sought the best talent of its
party for the Presidential chair, would not
many of our foreign difficulties have, been
more easily and crediably adjused2
Would we not have been saved long and
harassing controversy with England, from
which we have escaped at last only by re-
signing our extreme pre,enlions? That
Convention had wide field for. selection.
First and foremost was Cahoun,-next in
intellectual qualifications, Van Buren, and
Wright, then Cass, and Benton; then
Woodbury., &C., but the Convention passed
by and below all these. a. i.
