How often, in those wild scenes of her revolution, when the best blood of France was sncu by the remorseless and ephemeral tyrants who chased each other, dagger in hand, across that dismal stage of crime and I woe, during the reign of terror?how often did the thoughts of Lafayette and his com- j panions in arms, who hud fought the bat- i ties of constitutional liberty in America, i call up the image of the pure, the just, the humane, the unambitious Washington! < How different would have been the fate of France, if her victorious chieftain, when he reached the giddy heights of power, had imitated the great example which he eulo! gized. lie might have saved his country ! from bain"* crushed l>c lonmmrl lmcto ; O "J 0" "^,VJ V/* Europe; he might have prevented - the names of Moscow and Waterloo from being written in letters of blood on the pages of history; ho might have escaped himself I from the sad significance of those raemoraj ble words of Fontanes, on the otcasion to which I have alluded, when, in the presence of Napoleon, he spoke of Washington as a man who, "by a destiny, seldom shared by those who change the fate of empire*, died in peace, as a private citizen, in his native land, where he had beld the first rank, and ...Ll.l. ti.

There was no explanation, no intervention. Observing him in the Senate one night and looking as if he were not long for this world, and being myself engaged in a work of peace, with corresponding feelings I shook hands with him.

I know that be has the power; 1 believe lie will be found to have the patriotism and firmness equal to the occasion." The cause of the duel l>ctween these distinguished uifii was the following insulting language used by Mr. Randolph towards Mr Clav in secret session of the Senate, in 1825:" "This man?(mankind, I crave your pardon)?this worm (little animals, forgive the insult.) was spit out of the womb of weakness? whs raised to a higher life than ho was born to, for he was raised to the society of blackguards.
