New-York daily tribune., 1858-07-08

Mr.. Choate ir his Fifth ofJuy Grafton before
the Boston Ycurg Mems Tite-Waitsrs' Club, finds
occasion 10 refer to CERTAIN pertons as chara'
by "incspsciiy to combine ides' and great capacity
"to overwOrk single ore." In this phrase, nc has
exceedingly well described himself and bis oration.
The contents of it are all summed up IN one OF its
fist senteLces: "Our cOuntry, our whole couu-
"tIy, and nothing but our country" HuTrah iOr
tie nation Let liberty, let justice letphanthroPy
let truth shift for Themselves Hurrah for the na-
ton The OILY scti7e duty incumbent upon Amer
leans il, 50 Mr.. Choate tells U.s. TO preserve the
Upion; and the ouy possible means OF preserving
the Union s, according to Mr. Choste, concession.
Nj Choate speaks, indeed, of compromise, ous II
is evident that between compromise aad concession
be does rot lize sny distinction or diherenco,
at least pons worth noticing. He adopts the motto
OF the Prince Of Waes-I Serre. To render unto
CasAr the things tha. are Casar's is, in bis view
of ths matter, to render unto God the thugs that
sreGod'.. As to the question-Whst is Caesars
bis answer is prompt ard ready Whatever Cesar
ctcC8s to ask.
Such being the doctrine and philosophy Of this
o1ation, it IVES little iadyised il the orator to
put on tie airs Of one Of those stanch champions
who hsye the courage to sPesk tie truth III the face
of opposition. Considering the company 10 winch
be spoke, ard the place where he spoke
considering Mr. Choste's own position as the
.little minister to borrow oLe OF his own
pbrases. of the Boston congregation Of dough
fsees-consideriIg that every word N thls orailon
VAS calculated and inteLded TO srAtify the secon-
ceit Of those to whom it was addressed as II he aud
they were the only wise men and true patriots IN
Boston. ard every body else natrow-niLded fanatics
or pedantic fsolst was, we say, little Ill advised
in the orator under these circumstances IN attempt
irg TO ridicaIe others, to point the finger of
scorn at himself. If We aie to Judge
BIZ this oratiop, Mr. Choate is himself no more
above the temptation OF pleasing an asserting
c,pcregstisn Of falling in With the not'ns OF The
LITTLE circle about lim snd Of compounding for sIns to
which he and they incline BY damning those ne has
m r,ird 10. thar the " little ministers aud itsie
:. sdtor, whose musketo bites, singing ss be con-
,e.,ss If not deep, seem TO have little distu bed his
eoua,, unity aud his judgment. Ia this respect We
think we perceive very ,tiiiing resemblance De-
tween bis own method Of proceeding and that
which he charges on the " little N nlsIers and
" little editors" in question The coward out
" Of d.pser"-sush Is Mr. Choate's own descrip-
ton with the whole b. ston Custom House collected
about h;m-is exceedingly brave-s great deal
brayer than be was face to face with Henry Clay,
in the United States Senate; and great deal bfaver
we are inclined to suspect, than ne would be face
to face with Theodore Parker before even Boston
audience. Mr.. Choate, however, Is not only a.
this present moment the officiating little minister
Of the Bc.toa congregation Of deushiaee', he is
also Vicar of Bray. Accordingly, he introduces
paragraph into bis Grafton sadly out Of harmony
with il, general tors, and apparently borrowed
from .ome Abolition speech or sermon. In this
paragraph he represents tie doctrine " thai every
"nan i. eQual to every other man, aud tSAs every
man has right to LIE, liberty and tho pursuit
"of happiness" no longer asa sitseEins sener,
litJ, but a. the basis Of American nationality, and
