Many Revolutionary worthless are
better known to fame, but none of them
all can better claim posterity's graft
tude, admiration and respect than the
memorable man who is the he 10 Of the
following incident. lie made the
speech that decided the fate Of the ma
tion:
When the Declaration OF Independ-
ence was under debate il. the Conti-
mental Congress. doubts and forebod-
ings were whispered through that hall.
The House hesitated, wavered, and for
a while the liberty and slavery OF the
nation appeared to hang in even scale.
It was then an aged patriarch arose
Ia venerable and stately form, his
head white with the frost of years.
Every eye went to him with the quick
ness of thought, and remained with
the tixedness of the polar star. He
cast on tile assembly a look Of mex
pressible interest and unconquerable
determination, while on his face the hue
of age was lost in the flush Of burn
ing patriotism that fired his cheek.
t.There is SAID he, when he saw the
House wavering, 'sthere is a tide in the
affairs of mana nick of time. We
perceive it now before ms. TO hesitate
is to consent to our own slavery. That
noble instrument upon your table,
which insures Immortality to its author,
should be subscribed this very morning
by every pen in the house.
sHe that will not respond to its
accents, and strain every nerve to carry
into effect its provisions, is unworthy
of the name of freeman. For my own
part, of property have some, of repu-
tation more. The reputation is staked,
that property is pledged on the issue
of this contest. And although these
gray hairs must soon descend into the
sepulchre, would infinitely rather
they should descend hither by the
hands Of the public executioner, than
desert, at this crisis. the sacred cause
of my country"
Who was it that uttered this memo
rable speech, potent in turning the scales
of nations destiny, and worthy to be
preserved in the same imperishable
record in which is registered thesnot
more eloquent speech aseribed to John
Adams on the same sublime occasion
1t was john Witterspoon, at that day
the most distinguished minister west Of
the Atlantic ocean.

A QUEER SENTIMENTAL An impress
sion las got abroad in England that the
Prince of Wales will never come back
from India alive-tbat be viii be as
sasinated out there among the distant
subjects of her Majesty Gree let SUI
perstitious notion of as general interest
as that take possession of the English
mind, and it will soon become an article
of faith, as fixed almost as the Estab-
lished Church. OF conrse the Prince of
Wales is as likely to die on his present
i trip as if be remained at home, and
probably more SO but why English
men should permit themselves TO think
that the natives of far-off India desire to
make way with their putative sovereign
by violence, can scarcely be conceived
except on The ground OF conscious guilt
There is, strange to say, widespread
belief, or impression, in England, that
the Prince will never come to his throne
whether his life continues or not.
Doubtless the wish is generally father to
the thought. Buteit il the people of
Great Britain who are more and more
becoming the government every year,
and q constitutional throne may be
better than nothing to respect OF rever-
