Tl?is profound scholar, brilliant writer, and tinisiied orator, lawyer t ri. ana oiatestuan, died at the early age of forty six, whilst )ie was Attorney General of the United States, and acting Secretary of State. Had lie lived to a ripe old age. and gone on increasing in learning and scholarship as he did in youth and manhood, he would have left no superior behind liiin in England or America. Mr. Legare was a native of South Carolina, of Scotch and Huguenot descent, educated at the South Carolina College, elected a member of the State Legislature tor many years in success.on, then AttorneyGeneral of the State, and appointed by President Jackson Minister to Brussels. On his return home, after an absence of four years he was elected a member of Congress from Charleston, and greatly die tinguislied himself as an eloquent and brilliant orator during his brief Congressional career. I first saw Hugh Sainton Legare in the tall of 182U. He was then a meinlier of tho House of Representatives, and his reputation, for learning, talents, eloquence and scholarship, was very high indeed. In tact, he brought .-is reputation with Intn when he entered College in his fourteenth year, as is stated by Col. William C. Preston, his College companion. I nave frequent ly heard it said that Legare entered College with more learning and scholarship than fccDuftie had when ho left <3ollege, though the one was a boy who came to be ed ucated. and the other was a man grown, who hail finished his education, and was destined to rank with the greatest men of America. I remember hearing Judge Huge'* say that when Legare graduated, bo went to the commencement out of respect to the College, and to see the ladies. WhiUt chatting with some of them, his ear was attracted by a sentence in Legare's valedictory. He l>ecame interested, and his attention was riveted on the oration till it was ended.? lie enquired who this you. g man was, and asked one of the professors who wrote his valedictory for him. The professor replied that Legare ha t written it himself, and ihat he was the only man in the whole College who could have written it. The suhjec was, " the influence of the imagination up on hntuan happiness. 1 have heard Calhoun, Wel*ter, McDutlie, liayne, Preston and uiai v others of the distinguished orators of tlm ITniowl ?...? ?- .V V IMI-VVI Ui<urc>t UUl in iny estimation Legate was a far more finished oiatur than any of tliem. lie had a tine, nohlo voice, and seemed to have the same command over it that a lady has over the keys of the instrument on which she is iug. It is said that the rnuliitin e, the great masses of the common people, are Int ler judges of eloquence than the highly educated lew. An old tiiend of mine, Col. Benajan Dunham, remarkable for his good sense and Judgment, vrry cool and dispassionate, and not easily moved bv unything, once heard Legate speak in some commercial convention in Charleston. The old gentleman, on his return home,said he had not only never heard anything like it, but it had surpassed all his conceptions ol eloquence and pub lie speaking. Judge Chevcs, on his return to South Carolina, after ; his residence in Philadelphia, heard Legai u7 speech on tl>e Judi i ciary s\stem <?i South Carolina before the Legislative, and proimtitic ed itabove criticism. In listening to Legate you not only had your feelings roused and excited,as the highest eloquence never fails to do, but 1 at the same time, you saw there was a depth of thought and a beautiful finish in every expression, which struck and charmed your judgment, it was a combination Dt the force of Demosthenes, the beauty of Cicero, and the brilliancy id Burke. lit Congress, Legare made a speech, soon after faking his seat, an the sub ireasury, which was equal to Edmond Burke's greatest snorts in the British Parliament. It drew forth the highest praise and warmest congratulations from all who heard it. Geueral Thoinp ion, who was in Cungrs?* at the same time, told nie that when he went op to Legare to congratulate hint on his great effort, Tie burst into tears and ^*id, M mj greatest gratification wul be in knowing that ray success will please my I mother." < A* a scltolar, profoundly learn- i ed in all ancient and modern liter- i attire, Hugh 8. Legare bad few i eqnals in Europe or America.? The Grecian and Roman classics were as tamilinr to him as house hold words. He spoke and wrote with great purity, the French. ! Italian. Spanish, and German Ian-1 gaages, and had read and studied their standard works. In order to master all this learning and know) 1 edge, he studied from his earliest school dfcys, seventeen hours in twenty-four- He spoke French with so much accuracy, that a French lady said to bitn, that he was too Attic to be ail Athenian, alluding to the atory of a foreigner who professed to be a Grecian, and was detected by the accuracy with which he spoke the language. He had acquired his knowledge of it troin books, which was more per feet than if the language had been his mother tongue. The contributions of Legare to the Southern Review and New York Review on Grecian and Ko man literature, the civil law, life ot Byron, and various other subjects, are not surpassed by any of the essays of Lord McCauley.? The style of Washington Irving, was greatly admired in England for its purity and classic taste, but that of Legare was more perfect and classic, with greater strength and beauty. The fame of Hugh S. Legare as an orator and literary man. induced the mult tude to suppose that he could not be a profound lawyer, and consequently his practice, for many years,in Charleston, was very limited. But alter his election as Attorney-General ot the State, it became known that he was a great lawyer, as well as a great scholar, orator and writer. He went on to Washington to attend to some case there in the Supreme Court, and his argument showed such familiarity with the civil law, that it at tracted the attention ot Mr. Livingston, then Secretary of State, who procured for hitu the appointment of Minister to Belgium, where he would have an opportunity of perfecting his study of the civil law. Alter his return to the United States, and his appoint ment as Attorney-General under the administration of President Tyler, he distinguished himself in the argument ot several cases in the Supreme Court, and Mr. Jus tice Story pronounced him one ot the profoundest lawyers who had ever appeared in his c*>urt. T.. I : - ? aii iiit* appearance, Mr. L<egare wtw a very remarkable matt. Ilia bust was a i.oble one, and be appeared io great advantange seated in liia cliair, in tbe House of Representatives, but when be rose to 8|>eak, bis legs were so short that be seemed dwarfed. It is said when a child, his limbs were well proportioned, hut some disease afterwatds deformed them, llis bead and facte were very fine and striking. Hut in walking be waa ungainly, and I noticed that be seldom walked to or from tbe State llonge i n company wit It any one. lie never married. Judge IIuger told ine that tbe lu dies were all pleased with him, until be began to talk love to them. A It bough bis conversation was so interesting, they could not fancy liiin as a lover. He was very sensitive and morbid on the subject ot bis personal appearance. I have understood that lie said be would give all bis learning and talents for tbe manly and graceful form of Preston His Article on Lord By run, and bis allusion to bis deformity, and bis Lordship's sensitiveness on that subject, seemed to have been written with great feeling and sympathy. In bis manners and intercourse wnh tliu world, Legare was austere and reticent. Lie liad none of the ai ts <?r feeling* of the demagogue or popular man. Hence hi* popular Ity and otlicial honors were owing entirely to his talents and attainments. When he was elected At- i torney General of South Carolina, he was in a minority, a Union man, and had but little personal popularity in the Legislature. There ' wussotnethii g beautiful and touching in his devotion throngh lite, to ' his noble mothor, on whom had j devolved solely his education and rearing He thought of her gratification only when In mora and J {liaises were clustering around lim. Such a son must have had a 1 noble and loving heart. I Mr. Legare died suddenly, in i the city ot Boston, and his remains < were, some years afterwards, i | brought to Charleston) by his friend I and warm admirer, Richard Yea 1 don, Esq., where they were buried 1 ana a monument erected over them J by his friends.
