'alacrity, stepped up to the Presidents desk,

inches in advance, head ION which there is lit
tie hair thrown little back from the per pen
dicular, and stretching out both arms hori-
zor tally, there stood, the fire of genius in
his gray eye,
And taking his stand on vantage ground,
lie eyed his object keen.
After thus standing to be admired for a
moment or two, Mr.. Godfrey favored the
Convention with a short characteristic speech,
in the course of winch. we regret to say, the
gentleman eyinced very little regard for
