Samwel, L Iffi; ^_ ^ r - JW \ _.i The mental conceptions of'^Daytd were brilliant, and found utterance in the language of poetry, as the expression of his nature—3ie diction of an irrepressible feeling. It was-not tbe result of effort and studious calculation, bat the gushing forth of strains from a bosom where poetry lived and burned in a ceaseless flame. Tbe lament which- is recorded in the words t bare read, was an expression of the deep emotions of hla heart, on the occasion of bearing of the death of Saul and Jonathan. It was a sad event to Israel, when their chief tains fell, and as a man of sensitive, honorable and noble bearing, he deplored it The te-rai- naiion of humin ljfe under any circumstances, is always a subject of solemn interest involving the eternal, changeless welfare of an immortal being. In this view it awakens the same tram of painful, or delightful thought, whether the subject be obscure or conspicuous, limited or extended as to the sphere he occupied, and the field over which he exerted his influence.— There is, however,-a relative importance, con nected with individual character in this world, TgAttcl r tnipai taTn TaST'anQ- .OrscrtmTnailnj^. jOafj ferencebotween men-aSto'theif usefulness, and the magnitude of the effect produced npon community by their loss.

She was laying, the foundation of his ultimate greatness.<upon the principles of the religion of the bible, and inspiring nun with that rense- of,honor, frankness and gene-' rosity , which has, distinguished hia. condnct through life. He was incapable of jtluplioity, covetousness, or avarice, for God bad given him a soul and a mmd too great to be aotuated fand influenced by such me-.n passions. The efforts, which necessity was incessantly urg-' Log him to put fortV-waa invigorating him for thee mental labor, required in the attainment of Itempbttingi eminence without impairing his constitutional nature.

Their fu ture weakness and obscurity will result from the misfortune, thnt they were never compell ed to exercise the body or the mind with ref erence to any great purpose, the attainment of an elevated position, based upon the noble, imperishable principle of individual worth.— With him, obstacles only nerved him to sur mount them, and difficulties only excited him to overcome them. Poverty was the stimulus of hope, the rousing principle ofy exertion: and the absence of an existing, powerful friendship, to sustain and encourage him, orig inated the determination to create and deserve one t which shonldl>5y«* i&O -sijMjs-!?•» nlvthfe on'denco, the melody/and.the'tones *o^ his v^icfjt the., topjchtngjijie sympathies ,and plaving •withtheVissions pf the tinman heart which eoni\itSf5difil<f^chieT'excellenbe. but the; -e]99«fence f >'f rtpitight ^the'p^wer^b ^'Ws 'o!ic-:| lion, \the apifness of Tiia'iflush-adohs'.and the' perfection of his analysis) -From<tbispoimVne: ranidly rose to'distinction\ and before lie\ was t^t-tv, 'was associated with tho '.co 'UnCils .'of -tiie Nation—a_.position^whioh he retained^-for neaHy fifty years, almost'without fnterrnpitio'p .i In 7 'the ; p ro J?r*sso r ' ft|s poriQ'd, questibrji of the; profonndestinterosi have arisen touching our-] national glory and prosperity, Th e roost'elf-1 vaf^.mjnds.haye engaged m fteir..aiscassion, wide and diversified has been the range of *fewi» einreased by different minds. jQflfiijgfight Sr wrong in these differences among SfJJtestrien, Pnt^fno^pinion^'^^meiBnotwit^the^ Hgn'of my'present pnrppsej bgttlij^i^fastifiijb an item inthehistory othim^whorawe.are con- : for , h'e'« intimately identified with^rif-her greatest perils, every great question that'has agitated our Re-' —J— -• publicHfirin^-the periodop hy t f>nblio ,i h*fe.— christians, unknown beyond -the little~c»rcle-|har«H the same class-of of their acquaintance and i neighborhood.— ' ••»--\• rhey are precious in the eye of the Savior—but he called them to no conspicuous scene of action, and their exit creates no special sensation, while that. of the other vibrates through the world. He had shaken nations to their foundations by the dissemination of trnt.h, roused mind to thought and given it a r_-lit ; direction—disarmed power, which was brtrcd jpon ignorance and had swayed its do minion for centuries, by the power of his rea- Eomnc, and silenced the captious by an irre KistiMc argumentation. His mind and his elo- Qnencf constituted him a host, and when he pissed away, the utterance of this Lamentation would have been appropriate^—\The beauty oflsrael is shun, upon thy high places how are the mighty fallen.\ In onr own revolution there were doubtless a thousand bosoms, whose hearts throbbed with as pure a patriot ism ns that of Washington; and yet his mind his firmness, his - controlling influence, to certain degree and in a prominent sense, con stituted the country—controlled and directed its energies with successful \efliciencv. His bfe.was of-mora value, than a marshalled host, Had he fallen the bond of union would have been severed, the centre of attraction exting uished and the tide of effort would have rolled back and engulphed the friends of freedom, in its ruinous wave. -But God spared him to complete the great work, f>r which he rnisedj him up, and designed he should accomplish.— It is therefore a legitimate principle for christ ians and all others to lament the loss of men of great and commnnding minds, when their mighty intellectual powers have been directed U ^KroJfmToP^ nnceasfngly was, is it fobh^ton ; to those^vholiave more of pride] right, will itpromote^tie best^ good the and selfish ambition in theh-exuressed favor, than of respect for him who receives it There are a multitude of \small lights,\ who swell with a pitiful consequence for being consid ered tbe patrdrrs of distinction, as on tbe other fcirm'in his opinions and°fearless in their utter- flnoe^^bause v th%y. were the resnl|df a. close and rigid, investigation^, and approved^ as right iuifie\sight' of his own conscience—he.frank- ly avowed anddefended them Fn style 'of rea- SQping.Is beauty/ind Jorce of t{ju}gpag« which has ecarcery <.a. paralleJ^^.5Vheo he ^ailed ^to convince, he /aUe^noito^oomrnnnd- ndniinv- ti£h,'ajid ^^gWSia ^hp ^p ^sr' honest in the course he pursued nnd the-principles he advo cated..

At the age of fifteen, he became separated from his mother's immediate care, and entered npon a field of labor which intro duced him to the notice and acquaintance of some of the most distinguished legal gentle men of Virginia, who appreciated His abilities, and perceived the gem of greatness which was swelling his bosom, and onlv needed oppor tunity and culture, to expand and burst forth with no common distinction nnd splendor A mind like his could no more be crushed, than the progress of time could be stayed by the will of man. The Creator had constructed it upon a scale of magnificence which enabled htm to stride onward to attainments as if by intuition and to master at a glance, thnt which in others required weeks of labor and of study. Yet he trusted not to the fire of his genius, as alone sufficient to guide him in a conflict with other minds and raise him to thnt sphere of usefulness and influence to which it is the duty of man to aspire, who would effect a great and permanent good in the world. He labored with an indomitable perseverance to store his mind with every species of knowl edge which would give point and power to mental effort and qualify him for high distinc tion in professional life. In 1797, at the age of twenty, he was li- censed- as a Lawyer in his nntive Slate, a high \\5\V ~ r - —, to the promotion, nnd the securing* the great I compliment to his legal acquirements, when ' * 1 ' • ' we consider the distinguinhed character of the learned men who examined him. Almost immediately he transferred his residence to the then smallvijbige of Lexington, in Kentucky, and opened an office—\where fb use the lan guage of~a former Chief Justice ofTHnTState, as I find it quoted by another—\he came lean ing alone on Providence, a widowed mother's prayers, nnd the talents with which God had been pleased to bless him,\ In him, there was nothing of that modern utoplanism, which dis- cards reason nnd fact and all the established principles of right action, for a wild idealism, as incoherent as thS atorn9\of Chdog': seeking ends of human happiness and improvement, under the guidance of a sense of moral respon sibility and the fear of God And to do this in a manner more marked than can be e.x- —peeled, la characterise ordinary e/ same nature. It is the extinguishment of bless ings, which God gave for noble purposes and grand achievements—and in the loss, we are to acknowledge his hand, while we mourn the event thus proving that we rightly estimate •such gifts from God. The mind naturally falls into this train of reflection while contem plating the death ef that distinguished states man, who has just-been gathered to the tomb— who has passed from the councils of his coun try to the higher destinies of an endlrss being A great man has fallen and his countrymen pause and mourn over the sad event—the tear* of millions flow over him—and the tidings of his decease shall awaken emotions of regret and sorrow in the great and noble minded in other nations tSan this. In tracing the course of an intellectual man, -it is interesting to con template Ins character in its progress, the ef« country, reach the-farthest in-a happy, health ful influence upon the entire Union t He seems to have been actuated by a prin cinle expressed by Lord Mansfield, nearly in this language. \1 despise that mushroom popularity, which to-day receives the hurrahs of the mob and to morrow its execrations, but give me the popu larity which shnll live upon the historic record when imjiartiality shall have awarded tho merit, and an unbiassed judgment shall have approved my conduct\ Public favor or pop ular frenzy, and the threats of political excom municatinn could not move him from what he deemed nn honorable, honest course of action required-for his country's good. Ho wna ton far removed from selfish purposes, to be lured bv promises or awed by threats. His reasons were given. Ins plans ii'iooncenl -d, and left there to the fate of public di-ci'ion, without compromrine his integritv or his principles.— He ha* left Ins impress upon the nation, which shnll bo extinguished only by the ashes of earth's common ruin, unless the ruthless hand of ambition, shall despoil us of our glory, ex terminate our freedom, and wasb out the lines of our greatness with the gore of its vic tim\. But bis greatness was illumined by the power of his religious faith In this was the finishing touch of his character—when with unaffected humility he came to sit at the feet of Jesus, and own htm as his Lord and Mas- tc, and give \honor to him, to whom honor is due\ He owned Him in the face of the world, and all the distinctions of earth were eclipsed in companion with the of the Gospel, and the high nnd holy privileges which it confers on mortal man, the nlory and honor with which it invests him in his limitless course through eternity, the greatness it imparts to immortality, and the tri umph it gives to the dying hour. He made a profession of religion several years since, and has exemplified its power upon his heart and his conscience in his walk and all the acts of his life. The principles of religion had been deeply inwrought into his soul by that faithful mother, who realized Per \responsibility and would, trnin up her child ToF God, nnd when he ceased to move within the sphere of her direct influence, she followed with her prayers. Though there was a period when these con siderations were hushed or unheeded, yet there never was nn hour of his life when he was not a firm believer in the christian religion, and would not^tepel with indignant scorn, an in sinuation designed to detract from its reality nnd its soundness, invalidate its claims and throw suspicion around the validity of its rtior- al sentiment Through the grace of God, thi« was matured into a living faith. He expressed to n friend some years since, and has often re pented a train of remark like this—\What arc the distinctions nnd honors of earth, compare' with the hope of the christian, nnd what cn twg.. . honorable; who makes tno capricious p»« >fon's pj ignorance, thS lawless \wishes of the aban donment nnd.dopravity and the reckless fren- jydf enthusiasm the nroapects to\ pljipe. fyid oower, fo.thonevor yielded to tho prejudices of local feeling nor suffered • himself to become ths dnooofn solitary idea, chafing and \inflam- ingtttie'niini .till it produces madness, -and everything)!*'sacrificed toitsunappeasable fd- ryT\ fill, phffaiiffiropby was as broad'as the worTdv it .was governed by wisdom, which would'not swell tho, mjseries of tho objects of its relief, by a misdirectcxTlR^mgestej system of effort; but by one, which should embrace the most effective, extensive and lasting\^bj6d of nil* coming agosl. ' ..V '\ Time -will roll onward its ceaseless flood, and bary millions in fors ;etfulnes3 beneath it* oblivious wave,\but the memory and the name of H BVHV C LO T will stand conspiomns, when centuries have passed away, tho \grandeur ol his character and the splendor of his acts will live in nil their greatness upon the page \of history. Let the facts which have been noticed in contemplating the history of a great man— firBt excite mothers-to a deep .and affecting senscot'ttie^tiutiestnev owe^rneir^miwwv., r an^S /a ^lly'fMn;^ raise is for a thousand gei^erationsto those wSo- feorGod -and kcephis.commandments. The charge of an ini-no-tal mind is unequalled in importance; with a diligont and tireless assidui ty ; then', in tSe years of its earliest and ten- derest susceptibility, sow in it the seeds of eternal truth.
