EX GOVERNOR B. r. PKBKT.
[OOKTTNOKt) FROM LAST WEEK.]
HUGH 8. LEO ARK.
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. Well may South ]
