cessary that the laws should be enforced and Sc
ceding States coerced. II did not think the North
would accept the CTittenden propositions and it
was useless to press them. Mr.. Kunkel, of Mary

JoHN HANCOCK IN MARBLE.-We learn that Ho-
ratio Stones colossal statue of John Hancock, exc
cuted under order of Congress, has been compile
ted, and will this day be exhibited at the studio of
this composition is drawn from the record of the
Continental Congress of the Fourth of July, l776.
The Declaration of Independence had been adopted,
and as Hancock affixed his name to it he gave ut
terance to expressions Of defiance of the power of
England and OF qualification at the importance of
the act they had consummated. The moral essence
and spirit of the man at this moment have been
pressed by the artist. The historic scroll is in his
right hand; with the left he points to it; his fea-
lures are expressive of high and benignant resolves
perfect accord; while, though deprived of the Ii
cense afforded by the drapery in classic models,
the more minute effects have been rendered with
surprising accuracy and grace.-Nat. hteaigencer.
