He saw the spiro of the old church; but, sir,
he could not tarry-taking one fond look at its
giIdod weather gage, which was playing with
the sun-beams, he turned his face, listened a
moment to the %tinkling Of sheep bells, then
cutting (with his Jack knife) the silver strings
which bound him to his native land, he bound
ed from his lofty summit and became lost III
the Tackles wilds OF the west. Is not such a
man worthy to be President Of these United
States? But, sir, letme bring you down toa

the western horizon, when that great mass Of
human beings begun their homeword march.
Look, sir at that mighty sea, as it flows
through the great oroughfare-diyiding and
subdividing through the many outlets which
invest that city Is itnot an imposing, sir, is
it not a sublime scene? But turn and view
the deserted ground where this meeting was
held. All, Mr.. President, there is a sight to
which subIimity itself does reyerence. There
in close communion are Gen jackson and the
gallant Cass-see, sir, that venerable sage Of
