| Il SKETCH or CONKLING.u.. u....
Col. Jamcs II. Randall, the poet
cditor--the authO" Of "Maryland, My
Maryland" and now member ofthc
staff Of the Augusta, (Ga.) Chronicle
and C0AStiiutionuliSt-is in Washing
ton at prcsen as staff correspondent Of
his paper, and is writing from the ma
tional capital come remarkably inter
csting letters. In one ofthc latest Of
these he pictures the leading New
York Senator, and docs it so interest
in"lv that we reproduce part Of his
sketch as follows:
II had never before heard Mr.. Conk-
ling in n set speech, and it must be con-
ccdcd that he is most formidable ad-
vcrsary. Had he gone upon the stage,
John Mccullough would have had to
take back scat. Had he studied for
the ministry, Mr.. Beccher would have
had hard struggle for supremacy in
pulpit oratory He is a large man,
cnincntly handsome and distinguished
looking. Nothing can exceed the
awkwardncss Of his walk, Carpct-bag
Spencer used to call it "gantlrring."
This is not perceived when he is speak
ing from his place, Tor as his voice is
moCulatcd with astonishing skill and is
Of the nohlcst compass, so lis gestures
arc the perfection ofart. His language
is precise and dramatic, as il Intended
for an essay in BlucHlcoOd. l think
it is too stiltcd and ornate. Hc rose to
something akin to the sublime when
he turned upon Voorhees,, to rcnd him,
but suddenly dropped into pathos, and,
in mining phrase, ''pctcrcd out". into
an arid legal analysis that seemed to be
more for tho purpose of consuming
time aud STAYING oh''thc Tall Sycamore
Of the Wabash' than anything else.
But Mr.. Conkling isa dangerous foe
man. and the Democrat who cncoun-
tcrs him should be armed at all points,
master Of himself and his subject, and
rs eloquent as wise. OF all the Ecmo-
cratic Senators, Mr.. Hill IS the one
best fitted for battle with him, and |
think the Georgian is the one man
more particularly that this eNtraordi-
nary man is not anxious to provolic."
