Lewis,wlio nmediately had his enormous chair wheel-, il to tho desk of Mr. McDuflie, and aided im in preparing his'documents and in ris)g to his feet. Tho whole chamber was ilent in a moment. It might have been inference to the bodily, infirmity of the lan, who oould only stand having oauh Ihow supported and both hr.nds clasped pon tho head of his cane?or it might have een a compliment to his towering intel>ct and burning eloquence; but so it was, nd tho proud flashing eyo of the stateslan seomod to acknowledge this homage as it:. c i m ns^iiip. J41S wrsv ie>v suiuunccs were uisred in gasps, as though lio wore suffering xcrutiatiogpahi: but after he began to warm ilh his Ptibjficf, ho becamo eloquent ineed. His nitflcfc was pointed principally gainst Daniel Webster and ho nppoared to ride l?imsiolf on entering the lists with him, honi lie alone deemed worthy of his steel, 'o describe the graceful manner in which e glided from profound argument into mjstio irony, and then to solemn invooaon, surpasses my humble abilities; but lilt, lift rtlnti%???t ckij licrtil, enr, nml rjt resent for moic than an hour, can bo tesifiod to by hundreds.
