The Rev. Henry Bascom is a nativ of' Kentuckv.

At this apiriti, y every individual in [he immense thmr e started, and every heart thrilled wit? nameless emotion-it so struck the i ses, and there was such eloquence ir e attitude, his immobility, nay, in his.c I- ry silence. y His figure was of perfect syimetrl his features of classic mould; hief bro pure Grecian in its outlines, kat rounded with a fine circle of jet $1al i hair. His countenance seemed intent ly intellectual, Without the Oig'htt perceptible trace of animal passion;)t s his eyes, at the moment, were dre ", expressionless, apd n empty' -, as iWhe were toffd 4hr cious -f1?r.y presence other than t Q1 of Eoi n ieep thoughts.

I mn 1 things new." Without, pre 3 apology-those flimsy crutbv, rreachers--he pierced at one 'we heart of his 'subject, and' t-r e wings and rude away ori a of ieury words. H1is voice,. r commencemeit, rolled, and p rang like the leaitifull music qf some '%rutyroux j ating with efnaheso th-L Mii l d i g 'dd ,A t I ing out of the clouds. *oritsI it a wild wail, mellow and plaindoAI' % I fineral chime; again it a elid to stealv roar of a hurricane, i f a hiti cane indeed cold be attuned ft. sd octaes oif harmony; and tA.

TI effect was aidel, too, by the orator 3 gesticuulation...now graceful as the nit I circles of a butterfly in the air; at' - anon, 'grand to sublimity, and urgei as the snoop of the eagle climbing tl heights of the storm-cloud. His eye i at the out, as we have said, diin at dreamy---now bunted, and flashed, at liglitented, .till, aided by the illusions IhCy and the scene, it appeared to da arIOWs (if flame around the nssembly. As the mighty magician went en, t) entire multitude seemed charged wi f electricity Here and there single i s ilividuals began to rise involntarily I their feet; then others rose by twos at i- threes; inext a dozen sprang up toget v er; amld finally, the whule living, thrc y hing, enthusiastic mass might be sei a stailinig as (one men, with fixed, stral y ing eye balls, devouring the speak witha gaz~e, w ith hialfparted lips, ai Steeth elencheid byv attention.

"Look yonder',' said the impassion to orator, hpointing a motionless finger !' wvards thme lofty ceilinig, as it were I If sky, "See that wearbrul inne cloud-the fiery bed of the lightnings and hissing hail--the cradle of tempest and floods! What can be more dark, more dreary, more dreadful? Say, g.s-offing sceptic, is it capable of any -beauty? You pronounce. 'No.' Well, p very well; but behold, while the sneer ing denial curls your proud lips, the sun with his sword of light shears through the sea of vapors in the west, and laughs in your incredulous face .with his fine golden eye. Now, look a gain at the thunder-cloud! See whore it was blackest and fullest of gloom, sun-beams have kissed its hideous check; and where the kiis fell there is now a blush brighter than ever mantled the brow of mortal maiden--the rich blush of crimson and gold, of purple and ver million-a pictured blush fit for the gifc of angels---the flower-work of pen cils of fire and light, wrought at a dash by one stroke of the right hand of God! Aye, the ugly cloud hath given birth to the rainbow, that perfection and sym bol of uuspeakably beauty!' It is impossible to paint the effects of such-burts of eloquence delivered in his peculiar voice and manner. For .my own.xart, I experienced emotions of sqblimity" and .admiration commingled with mysterious-kawe. I gnzed and shudocred, as if looking inito the heart of a volcano, or listening to the mutter mgs of an earthquake. .-Who-ares call this comparison a hyperbole?

Ihis moral philosophy is a tan .tissue of n'stractions. Thie reason obvious. His gigantic mind has b come so1 accustomed to strong excit m rents that his birain will not act wit esout thema.

Ti * stm of the politician, the forum 'the advocate, or the chamber of tl tlegvislative assenibly, would have giv tihim ample fields-a firmer basis for I -Y logic-and far freer space foim the flig 11of* his mighty imiavination. mii It is an impossible task to fix wi a rigid accuracy on paper the speci d11'(ifference existing between distinguis ced speakers----the elements of soul al heart which enter into the compositi, r fan eminent orator are so numeror and include so many degrees and rati ed of resemblance as well as contrast. T to- can characterise them best by usi: lie generic terms and employing bold (i er- ure. Bly pnursuina thu ikomthod, A m lea's great ones might be dashed off in a series of pictures, Somewhat after the following fashion: Webster has immense weight and massive grandeur. Hp is a mountain of New England granite capped with snow. Clay has the activity of ligh. tning, its vastness of sweep and its swiftness of motion. Calhoun is a fiery sword of genuine Damascus steel, that pierces the knottiest problems with a sharp edge of analysis, exhibiting the very atoms of his own argument trans parent as.,bbrystal, and cutting out the core of ai opponent's fallacy. But Bascom is like none of these. His eloquence is one unremitting suc cession of explosions. Intensity, mild ness, exuberance, conflagration, are elements of the atmosphere in which he moves, and have become absolute neces sities of his nature.- He is not the greatest orator of the age, but he might have been so had his education been conducted in a different school, or had fortune given him a higher theatre. INTERESTING INCIDENT. Everything that relates to Andrew Jackson, the hero of New Orleans, and the friend of his country, is of deep in terest to the Americe.n people.

I desire f to return to you my thanks for tha speech. You are the first man wlc e has ever relieved my mind on a subject which has rested upon it for thirty years. My enemies have always charg ed me with violating the Constitutior of my country, by declaring martia e law at New Orleans, and my friend have always admitted the violation, bu f have contended that circumstances jus e tified me in that violation.-I nevei .could understand how it was, that the . performance of a solemn duty to m' s country -a duty which if I had negleci e ed would have madle me a traitor in thi ~. sight of God and man -could properl: Sho pronounced a violation of dhe Consti ~t tution.

I thank ye e sir, for that speech; it has relieved m imind from the only circumstance the e- rested painfully upon it. Th'roughom e.my whole life, I never porformed an ofi eiaml act which I viewed as a v'iolatio of the Constitution of my country; an I a ow go down to the gravei p'eace, with the perfect consciousnel that I have not broken, at any peric of my life. the Constitution or laws my country.'
