on triumphantly. and that the down-trodden
banner of democracy should rise in triumph

ELEGIAC LITERATURE.

A gentleman who, The Tribune believes,
was candidate for Congress last Fall, and
got guile na,lering vote, has just published
"poem" entitled: "The Classic Genions,
Emenenoe, Chivelry and Renown Of Daniel
Webster, translated into poetry by William
J. Coggey, Esq, and is al loss which most
10 admire, The originality Of the "poelry'
tho rhyme or the orhography. We give a
specimen
The Nations hear, is but Bewailng, that Man
of all The Men,
That By Breasing powerful thrones, Great
Lorrells he did win,
Austria stood amazed at the Grandeur, OF his
intilecural tones,
He erasped the American Constitution, dis
cussed the merits OF Thrones.
His mind il was Reservoir, where Classic
Liquid did acumelate,
Hi. genius had a sublime polish, that was no
second rate,
Every word he said and dropped, was shaped
with noble molde--
He lived TO see his Native Land augment,
seven and ienfold.
The sea Of his intelligence, unfathomed BY
the lines Of time,
Like a Barr of polished steel, his Classic
Ideas they did shine
Like tho surees Of The oceon roleing up the
Cliffs Of natures throne
As pillor of this Republic; he COPIED heI
with Classic dome.
The Nations heart is loaded down, heaveine
like Lover ihohs
For that once Gigantic Man, that is now a
lifelrss orbe,
He departs this life with Joy, folded in The
tomb of sacred love;
lie left his Classic lore Behind, he hoven
round the throne above.
He i, gone to that Seles,lal Hemisphier whei
no petty prince can reiehn,
To take his place amongst our patriots,
Clay, n jackson and Hayne-
The Grandest throne he ever filed, with hu
man lorrels on his head.
Is that he i'll this day, the ilustrious DInie
Webster he is Dead
