The following passage gives utti-rance to the
nduufjition of New Kncrland. for the inielli-i-i
1 of Webster, its clearness nml simplicity;
A ^ its breadth of comprehension, and massive
* strength; its profundity and elevation:
"Webster showed his power by (lie grand
simplicity lo which lie reilneed liis speeches ;
tho false ornament, the pnpu lar but fallacious
reasonings of the day tlierhodomoiitade of Ainer

of .some subject, which in: had established
bv deep cx-eogitati?n. and tipon which nobody
else had eraiovd accurate and delisted views,
it ftll seemed so obvious that nobody wondered
*\or admired. ]>ut the men. who perhaps for
Years had sputtered 'about it and about it,"
and Ihrow o!K trivial though . parhlins* tr?-is*
eralitics. alone perceived thoroughly the immense
force which must have wrestled with
the difficulties which had so i.Ueriy bali'el
them. .In truth, to appreciate Webster's mind,
requires some self-discipline and inucli mental
experience. As the summit peak of a chain
cniinot be seen but by climbing t!ie lower spurs
and hills, sp one must climb himself, to see. the
dimensions and the grandeur of this elevated
intellectuality. The admirable arrangement, i

to which his thinking conduct oil It ::i) i:i 11 is

It is a noble effort to see .one who has been
addicted to the excessive use of ardent spirits;
cud'-uvoring to rid himself of the habit, aii^
although many failures may mark the honest
effort, it ill becomes any one in whose bosom
burn the least throbbings of humanity, to make
light of him therefor. To all 6Ueh we
would point, though -with feelings of charity.
to the rebuke of the Saviour to tlior.e who
