of which it was unconscious-were the inexo-
rable conditions of his nature ruling his con-
duct in every act, public and private Nc
foul legislation ever emanated from him.
The jobber. the speculator, the dealer in
false claims, the plunderer, whose scheme re-
quircd an act of Congress; all these found in
his vigilance and perspicacity detective po-
lice. which discovered their designs. and in
bis integrity seorn of corruption which kept
them at q distance from the purity Of his at
mosphere.
His temper was gentle-his manners SIM
ple-his intercourse kindly--his habits labo-
rious-and rich upon freehold of thirty
acres. in much part cultivated by his own
hand In the intervals of Senatorial duties
this man who refused cabinet appointments
and presidential honors and seat upon tue
Supreme Bench-who measured strength with
Clay, Webster and Calhoun, and on whose
&C cents admiring Senates hung: this man.
his neat suit of broadcloth and fine linen ex
changed for the laborer's dress, might be seen
in the harvest field, or meadow, carrying the
foremost row, and doing the cleanest work
and this is not recreation or pastime, or en-
couragement to others, but work, which was
to count in the annual cultivation. and labor
to be felt in the production of the needed
crop. His principles were Democratic, and
innate founded in feeling, still more than
conviction, that the masses were generally
right IN their sentiments, though sometimes
wrong in their action and that there was
less injury to the country from the honest mis-
takes of the people than from the interested
schemes of corrupt and intriguing politicians.
He was born in Massachusetts,, came to mans
estate in New York, received from that state
the only honors he would accept and in cho-
sing his place of residence in it gave proof of
his modest, retiring, unpretending nature.
Instead of following his profession in the
commercial political capital of his state,
where there would be demand and reward for
his talent he constituted himself lawyer,
where there was neither, and l,ertinaciously
refused to change nis locality. In an outside
county, on the extreme border of the state,
taking its name of St Lawrence from the riv-
er which washed its northern side, and diyi-
ding the United States from British America
and in one of the smallest towns in that
county, and in one of the least ambitious
houses of that modest town, lived and died
this patriot statesman-a good husband, (kc
had no chi-dren)-a good neighbor-a kind
relative.-a fast friend-exact and punctual in
every duty, and the exempli6cation Of every
social and civic virtue.

sons. Being his end, he resolved TO divide his

action within three months.

THE HoaE OF THE BLAcKs.--In the course of an
interesting article on the commerce of Western Af-
RIGA. showing its steady advance of late years. and
the excellent basis it affords for a mu,h greater
increase, the Journal of Com mere o remarks
Not less certain is it that emigra tion will follow
in the foo tsteps Of commerce; and from present
indications, it is net difficult to conceive that the
western coast of Africa may yet become to the fre
blacks of the United States as attractive as Cali
fornia has been to the whites"
This idea must have occurred to many persons
who have devoted attention to the rise and pro-
gress of Liberia Not that the inereaoe Of the coll
onization movement is Of itself enough to warrant
1t: but the admirable manner in which tho settle
ment of the country goes the extension OF the re-
publican authority over large numbers of natives
and wide expanse of territory; the prosperity of
agricultural industry; the order, coed government
and capacity for improvement manifested, must, in
the end, present such picture will remove all
the prejudices of the blacks in the United States.-
Already the number Of o0lOred persons desiIous Of
emgrating thither exceeds the capacity of the ves-
sells engaged to convey them. Every one who goes
out and does we'll sends back such tdings by letter
must induce kindred and friends to try the same
experiment All the progress and prosperity OF
Liberia are reflected back upon the United States,
and produce such an effect upon the colored popua-
iion here as to increase the emigration At present
the young republic could not accommodate large
tide of poor settlers, society there being compara-
lively too feeble and poor. But within twenty
years, we shall SEQ a great change, and then will
begin the exodus Of the free blacks from tue land OF
their birth to the natural home of their race .-NortS
