Yet many of them had uot?woro what aru culled "self mado muu," nod Htill, as we recall thom tho differouoo was scarcely peroeptible. Thuse whj> had educated themselves, achieved their oWn positions and fortunes, were, like their associates, cultivated, polished, high men, and there wero of them fow who would uot have well filled any portion aud jjrncod any society. There is always some difficulty in fix ing tho period to which memory rendu* as current or subsequent conversations, accompanying or following ovonts, pro iluco itiiproHWons on the aiinds of am young often confused with the events themselves, hut the test of tho unity of time, plaeo and oiroumstanoes accom panying will usually determino the (jut s i ?n. By this test we know that we remember the death of that most estima ble eitiien, Mr. John Doby, in Septr., 1826. By the samo test we determine that our impressions of the grand page ant of jjnfayette's reception, and tho cercmoniee of laying the eorner stone of DoKalb's monument in 1825, result from the conversation of others, and so, likowiso, as to the death and burial with distinguished honors of Col. John K r slinw, which as late as the 'yonr 1829, leave an impression so vague ss surely indicates (hat it is derived from oonver sution, and though tho picture of the pageant is iu our mind, time, place and circumstances aro all wanting. But from the year 1828 our impressions of those gontlomen, generally and collectively, aro very clear and decided. Political exoite moot ran very high here, as throughout the United States.
