HAMILTON AND JAY.

In bis sketch of the pubic meeting held IN
the city Of New York to sympathize and sus-
tcip Boston, in its day of trial by the port
hill. Mr.. Bancroft thus introduces Hamilton:
cit has been kept in memory that on this
occasion young man from abroad. so small
and delicate in bis organization, that be az
peared to be mach younger than perhaps be
really was, took part in the debate before the
crowd. They asked one another the name
of the gifted stranger, who shone i'ke star
first seen above haze, of whose rising no
one bad taken note. He proved TO oe Alex
ander Hamilton, q West indian Ills no'o-
or, while be was yet child, hao leit hlm an
orphan and poor. A fathers care ne seems
never TO have Known. The hrst written
trace of bis existence is 10 HOO, wnen DIS
name appears as witness to legal paper eA-
ecuted ir the Danish island OF Santa Cruz.
Three yesrs later, when he bad become "a
youth" be ''ooDtemned the groVelling condi-
ton of a clerk" fretted at the narrow bounds
of bis island cage, and to friend of bis own
wears confessed bis ambition. i would will

character, to exalt my station. l mean to
prepare the way for futurty; We have seen
such schemes successful wheo the protector
j, constant" That way be prepared by in-
togrity Of conduct, diligence and study
After an education as a merchant, during
which he once at least cond octed q voyage,
he found himself able to repair to New York,
where he entered the college before the end
ofl773. Trained from childhood to take care
of himself, be possessed manly self-reliance.
His first sympatbies in the contest had been
on the British side against the Americans; but
be soon changed his opinions; and in July,
l774, cosmopolitan New York, where he bad
either father, nor mother, nor sister, nor
brother, nor one person 10 whose veins ran
the same blood as bis OVID, adopted the vol
unteer from the tropics as it's son."
John Jay. who was young lawyer IN New
York in l774, is thus described:
Descended from Huguenot refugees, edu-
Gated in the city at its college, Of the severest
purity of morals, a hard student, an able wri.
tor, ready speaker; recently connected with
the family of Livingston by marriage; his
superior sndowments, his activity and bis
zeal for liberty, tempered by love for order,
made him for q quarter of century distln-
guished in bis native state. At that time he
joined the dignity Of manhood to the energy
of yooth. He was both shy and proud, and
his pride, though it became less visible, sut-
fered no diminution from time. Tenacious
of bic purposes and bis opinions, sensitive to
indignities and prone to sudden resentnents,
not remarkable for self-posessiou; with d
countepance not trained to conceslment; uei-
Their easy Of access, nor quick in bis advan-
ces, gifted with no deep insight into charac-
tar, be had neither talents nor inclination
for intrigue; and but for his ambition, IN
which none exceeded blu, be would have
seemed formed for study and retirement"
