Of the case so far as what is called 1.-THE Code"

disciples of wcapon-law, that Mr.. Branch stands
sound on the record, and that Mr.. Grow has not

similar circumstances, Senator Wilson, it will be
recolected reiterated in his reply the language for
which he was called to account and then stated his
willingness to defend himself for that language
whenever assaulted; while Mr.. Grow, in his an

cause of offence but goes on with generality about
defending his personal rights, while at the same

Lord Macauley was engaged, previous to his
death, upon the great work of his lfe his history
of England, but less fortunate than his lamented
coemporary, Washington Irving, he did not live to
complete it. as Irving did his life of Washington.
Lord Macauley was one of those brilliant writers,
whose unbounded learning, fertility of language
and aptness of Illustration gave to his reviews of
works, value above that attaching to the works
themselves We remember the sensation created
BY mis- article on the trial of Warren Hastings 1t
was perfect gallery of pictures and now, when of
course our own tastes have somewhat changed, and
we have less admiration for fine writing than
we had at our outset in life still admire Macau-
ley's essays almost as much as ever although we
cannot think his style suited for sustained work
like the history of England.
Irving, DeQuincy Macauley, the names with
which we have been familiar, are rapidly passing
away, and as yet we do not see how their places
are to be filed but we presume that they aOil be
filled.-F Wilmington Journal
