In answer to an inquiry, the New
York Sun recently named the ten best
American poets as follows: Emerson,
Poe, Longfellow, Bryant, Whittier, Hal
leck, Lowell, Holmes, and two ladies,
Mrs. Julia Warde Howe and Mrs. Rose
Terry Cooke. Whittier, after a life
given to the good of humanity and the
enrichment of that which is best in lit
erature, is dead at the ripe age Of 50
years. He did not have the s%ingularly
marvellous genius Of Pope or indeed OF
Halleck, nor was his poetry marked by
that finish and delicate employment OF
words noticeable in the works of Long,
fellow. Lowell and Holmes. He did not
have the dreamy vision or fancy
Of the former, nor the sprightly wit
of the latter poets. He is, never
theless, fully deserving of a high
place in the Suns list. He gave the
earlier part Of his life to the slavery
question, and many of his best poems
we're inspired by the earnestness and
devotion shown by him in thus work. All
we're poems OF the heart, and each car.

this: "That we disapprove of the action
