The address of the Hon. George b. Loriug at the
Caleb Gushing memorial services in NewbuUport.
Mass. on the 9th instant speaks in definite terms
more than once of the political failures Of that re-
markable man. "liereached high political diStnc-
tom II was said "but not that height which
most thoroughly satisfies" Allusion was made to
adverse shocks which would have destroyed the
strength and qucnched the courage of many an
asprant Of less sclf-cOntrol and confidence" Again,
he is spoken If as retiring in his Old age to New
buryport where he &" found sympathetic silence for
his disappointments.' Finally his life is summed
np as mot thoroughly appreciated perhaps not
thoroughly fortunate' here is a lesson hore. If
we mistake not. which young aspirants for public
distraction would do well TO study and II is les
son which more than one American statesman has
furnished through career not entirely sue
cessfuL however brilliant. Mr. CushIngs great
oualities Of mind and his remarkably vari-
ors and thorough requirements, were always
freely adntted but either through his
fault or through his misfortune, he failed 10 in
spre confidence IN his sincerity and integrity OF
purpose. HIS beginning was brilliant one, and
no to the time of his adhesion to the Tyler admins
tration In his own State and in the Wing party, he
was power Things never went well with him
after that; military service in Mexico, which was
the making of several inferior men, only did him
harm; and from that hour forward there WAS no
party which regarded his adhesion very desir-
able The orator at Newburyport did not say that
this was owing to moral deficiencies. but no more
did me claim for his hero anything like unflnehing
integrity of purpose.
