The School Master Of cur Republic.

EHEL
When our Republic rose. Noah Web
ster became its schoolmastsr. There
had never been a grea, nation with q uni
versal language without dialec,s. The
Yorkshire man cannot now talk with a
man from Cornwall. The peasan, from
the Liguarian Apprentices drives his goats
home atevening, over hills that look Gown
on six Provinces, none of whose dialects
he can speak. Here. five thousand
miles change not the sound Of a word.
Around every 61eside. and from every
tribune, and in every field Of labor and
every factory for toll. is heard the same
tongue. We owe it to Webster. He
has doAe for Us more than Alfred die for
England, OF Cadmus for Greece. His
books Havs educated lhree generations.
They are forever multiplying his innu-
merabls army Of thinkers, who will
transmit, his name ffsm age 70 age.

Tho COON OF THE DEMAGoGuEs.'

We make the following extrac, from
the 81. Louis Dem. ocra, B~uchaneer pa.
per:
Illinois has pronounced foi the second
time her solemn sentence of condemna-
ton upon Douglas, first by The election o:
Trumbull 10 the United States Senate,
and now by the election of Bissell over
Richardson. The chief and his stand
%ard.bearer share the same ignoble and
irrevocable fate. They can now take
counsel together in the depth Of their
cebasemen,. as Satan and Belzebub did
when awaking after their nine dsys
trance on the surface of The burning lake.
Like the superior iend. Douglass may
exc'aim to his comrede, from what
heighlh f4llen!!' for the high places OF This
Republic are now as far from him as the
baaltmen,s Of heaven from the fallen
angels. Who would now despair OF jus
tice! Swif. OF slow, re,ripu,ion comes.
The author and iustanmen' Of he repeal
OF the Missouri Compromise are the las,
victims. Alb! we had almost forgotten
Cas-. and almost wished ns had escaped
the judgment Of an outraged people
He, 100, is among the las, batch for the
%guilloiine. His gray hairs. may excite
compassion, but HE s~uperannua,ed dem
agoguary and partizan serviilty deserve
rebuke. Pierce doomed in New IIamp
shire, Cass in Michigan, and Douglass
and Richardson in Illinois. not merely
doomed, but virtually behesdet, quarter.
ed and disembcwelet are sac,s that show
even TO the skeptical, that divine justice
still dwelis among men. The li,lle dem.
agogues of the North founderet in the
irss blast OF :he storm, but now the
levlashaus are being dashed to pieces
Soon the Ocean will be smooth and the
atmosphere tranquil, but no, u wreck oil
the msgicians who raised the ,empest
will b.. Visible. The repeal of the Mis-
souri, compromise is a stone round ,heir
necks; and now having damned them,
guiiloilned them. and drr yned them, len
them rest or toss IN the fiery unrest OF

There is a fower that ne'er will fade,
Which blooms alike in sun and shade
Stars as they roll along,
Their sweet melodious voices raise,
And sing the flowers celestial praise
In their ~mslodious song.
Itblooms upon the mountains height,
Alike in darkness and in light 4
In city town, and wild;
The birds sing OF it intheir song,
The lowing herds the strain prolong
In forests wild and field.
The seas extol it as they roll
From Indus to each frigid pole
Ger all the varied world
IT'S sung by every storm and breeze,
By blooming flowers and trembling trees
And grass by dews impearled.
IT'S shown by all things in the earth,
BY all which IN the sea have birth,
and all the hosts above;
Angels and all the powers divine
Sing of it at the Eternal's Shrine

CHARACTER OF S. S. PRENTIss as AN
ORATOR.

wv.
Ii amongst American orators, Webster
was the Demos,henes, and Clay The
Cicero, Prentiss was nothing less than
The Lysias Of bis day. Indeed i, may
be questionable whether Preniiss was
not, in some respects, superior to either
OF the men Who, by common consent,
stood al the head Of American orators
during their generation. In fuency and
~copiousness he clearly surpassed them
both. Never did a fountain bubble up
from the ground with a mora natural and
easy flow than the wofda from his lips;
and never did a broos GO on its way with
a more melodious murmer, than the
accents from his tongue. In one respect
his speeches we've like those of George
Whi,eield and Aaron Burnley never
could be reported. This 10 made very
apparent in the two volumes before Us.
The form, the skeletons OF a few Of them
ale given. but the life, the soul of bis
eloquence are not there. Tha. wild
luxuriance, that exhuberance OF fancy !,
lha, inexhausiibie richness of imagery,
which appeared to be Inspired by the
time and occasion, and which il was hi.
misfortune tina, he did moi or could not
commit to paper. these the two volume.
before Us do not furnish. For parlizsn
politics he neve. had much aptitude
He became a politician by accident
rather than Sy design; for he had rather
a noble disdain of the arts of NE dem
agogue. and like John Randolph. some.
times offended the people by refusing to
hat,er them. In mere e~lsc,ioneering, he
made az sorry a figure as William Wir,
did, and with the like rssul.. But when
the point was 10 be carried by ~elo9uence,
when the heart and the reason were 10
De assailed, hls triumph came. We well
remember the occasion of his address in
Faneuil Hall. E.evereu had spoken, and
Peleg Sprague. both eminent orators; and
manv from the South and the North had

Words rushed forth. laden with III fought,

the stream leaps from The rock. The
whole range of nature and the whole
field OF English literature seemed a, his
command. Of course it was the result,
OF effor, previously made, as well as OF

that Of inspiration. From nature to
