foH THE National INTELLIGENCEh
Turning yesterday to some of Johnson's works,
fell upon the passage towards the close of his
" Journey to the Western Islands Of Scotland"
which describes so beautifully the influence of local
associations upon our feelings. 1t runs thus:
We now treading that illustrious island which
the unhary Of the Caledonian regions whence
savage clans and rowing barbarans derived the benefits
Of knowledge and the blessings Of religion To abstract
the mind from all local emotion would be impossible if
1T endeavored and would be foolish if it pos
sble Whatever withdraws us from the power Of our
senses; whatever makes the past the distant, the
future predomnate the present advances in the
dignity Of thinking beings. Far from me and from
my friends be such figd philosophy may conduct
Indifferent and unmoved any ground which has
been digni6ed by wisdom, bravery, virtue. That
is little to be enved whose patriotism would not
gain force upon the plain Of Marathon whose pety
would not grow warmer among the ruins Of Iona"
Boswell remarks that had Johnson's Journey
produced nothing else but this passage, the world
would declare that it had not been made in vain
and Sir Joseph Banks, long President of the Royal
Society in London, and luminary Of science in his
day, so much struck on first reading it that he
clasped his hands together, and for some time re-
mained in an attitude of silent admiration
do not know whether Congress has or has not
determined to engage the genius of Healy and of
Leutze, the former to paint the battle of Bunkers
Hill and the throwing of the tea overheard in the
harbor Of Boston; the latter, Washngton's noble
course at the battle Of Monmouth and another copy
of that momentous and brilliant event in our his
tory-his midnight crossing Of the Delaware in mid
winter, and surprising and subduing the enemy at
Trenton.
But If the matter is to be called up again this
session, hope it may be, and for favorable de-
cision the foregoing eloquent, nay sublime passage
from the great literary colossus Of his age will not,
trust, be found inappropriate to your columns.
Its foundations deeply seated in mems moral
nature that all readers must feel its force the un-
letered as well as the cultivated and the classic,
