LENGTH Of SPEEcHEs.-TkcS Savannah
Republican, at the close of certain very ap
propinte remarks upon the inleIminabe
length of modern Congressional speeches,
says:
4" Demosthenes and Mirabeau seldom, il
over, spoke longer than twenty minutes :;
whilo Washingion and Franklin required
only six or eight 10 express all they had 10
say. Will not members pattern after these
great men or, will they, as some Of them
do, insis; upon speaking through one, two
and three days2 Minutes were sufficient
Tor Franklin but days are required by mod =
crn orators"
The Richmond Dipatck says:
ave have no means Of ascertaining tie
length Of Mirabcau's speeches, since we have
never seen ono ofthcm fully reported. Some
idea may be conceived, however, OF those ol
Demosihenes, in this particular, since num-
bcr oi' them have come down to Us eHrre.
The Republican certainly Iabors under a
mistake with regard 10 that orator. His
style, it is true was sententious in The ex-
trcme, yet he very often delivered orafions
quito as long as the majority of those which
we meet with in tho present day. The ia.
nous 'specch for the Crown for instance
contains nearly twenty thousand words, and
had i, been delivered in twenty minutes
would have implied the pronunciation Of one
thousand words, mot English, but Greek
words, for the mos, part long laundering
syllablcs,) by the minute. This is o
course, physical impos'ibiliiy, the most rap
id speaker cannot pronounce more than
three hundred and fifty English words in
minute. A gentleman, at our elbow, Wit
has been many yea rs reporter in th,
Senate, says that Mr.. Webster speaks abou
ono hundred and twenty five words in
minute, and Mr.. Clay, probably about on,
hundred and fifty. Now, as Demosihene
was noted for tho impressive character o
his delivery, it is probable that he did no
speak more rapidly than Mr.. Clay, who i
likewise distinguished by The samo quality
flour suggestions be true, no spoke abou
ninu thousand words an hour, and was ralh
er moro than TWO hours in delivering N,
speech under consideration. Some of hi
other speeches are much longer than III,
speech for tho Crown
"Sheridan's famous speech in the Begun
case, was five and halfhours long. Burke
in tho case of Warren Hastings, generally
was ninc hours long. Pinkney's great speecl
on the Missouri question occupied four hour,
in tho delivery L. p. Barbour's, in orposi
ton to tho Ia ia Of 1924. three and half
Nj. Clsy's great speech on the American
system, which was in answer to that of Mr.
Barbour, was moro Than five hours long,anl
