THE SPEAKING AT ROCK PORT.

It was our good fortune to be present at this de- bate, and to meet many old friends and acqaaint-
 ances whom we had not seen for years. For the first time we heard the polished candidate ol the
 whig party pour forth kis well rounded sentences,
 and stereotyped arguments. There is no denying
 the fluent aAd accomplished manner of Captain
 Preston, but. his style seemed to us better fitted for drawing room than the open wild wood where
 he addressed the rough boys who had gathered to
 hear him. He would seem to be true reprcsen-
 tatise of the "'silk stocking gentry who al enc
 time almost gave name 10 the wing party, and
 who were generally designated as all-the -decen-
 oy- party" We say this out of no disrespeci to Capt. Preston, for in truth we admire him as a
 gentleman. but simply to classify hIm among the
 politicians of his party He speaks well and ar-
 gues cnnningly, but he IS Toag. and all' hts well turned periods and studied msnnerism, his grace

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
ustrous in the service of the country. Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared TO render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men of the Re
public
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits TOR National Gal
lery, End those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior TO any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established TO need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will he exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in ITS scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names Of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments of life wrll have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
ument to the great Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
illustrious Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly
As work of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most of citizens the publish
ors have resolved TO merit large circulation, by
charging a very low price They have, therefore,
