Give the same ground of complaint to almost any second-rate modem lawyer, and he will make a belter use of them. No modem enormities come anywhere near those committed by Cati line; yet, notwithstanding ail these materials for the most splendid oratorical performances,—-.-though Cicero's oration against Catiline has many points of great excellence and power,—moderns in his position would have far eclipsed him, judging from what tbey perform under circumstances far l6ss advontageous.

Ready at all times ta acnrmnwdttle with, the test oj Tlii* unequivocal law of mind which thus magnifies whatever is antique, applies equally to ancient orators, poets, stutesmen and authors, and hence the origin of lliot exalted estimation in which they are gen erally held. The ancients are rated Car above the moderns, especially in oratory, vet 1 am fully persuaded that this estimation i« not based on their actual merits, hut in this blind- reverenceof nmn ior the past. I submit whether this is not a law of mind. And a wise Ihw too. It rniuht be culled the conservative principle of humanity.— Hut for it, changes would be too sudden and violent, and Keep everything in a perpetually .irisettled state. But for this restraining element of mind, though abuses might indeed be Obviated, their obviation would often superinduce others still gr aC cr. Men would change from bad to bad, —perhaps to worse, because they would tC*tr down the old before they knew whut was required in its place,—would take up the loot of progression before they know where they should put it down, ai d if.us ofiener go backward and sideways than forward ; whereas this consctva!i\e p in. ciple prevents change till the progressive principle ol our nature absolutely enforce* it, and then very gradually, so as fitl y to' inamr- every change beforehand, and therefore render it bettor.

TtD put the elegair drapery of an ornate stylo upon iusignili cant idea-* and sentiments, is too incongruous to cxciif admiration, or anything buD ridicule. No excellencies of style couht hide the cardinnl delect in matter, but only increase the ridiculous "incongruity. Cut their style is really as defective as thD ir matter.

Hence, even if modem orators, poets and authors were, in point of fact, far superior to ancient, they would naturally be ra'el as far inferior ; arid the fact that the former are regurded as nearly equal io the latter, proves that they are .'ar superior.

Some modern speakers, both «ecu!ar and relip-- ious, will chain and entrance their audiences—will make them laugh one moment, and weep or shriek the next ; but.even in case the ancients produced still greater effects, bear in remembrance the law of mind that the uncultivated are far more easily affected than the intellectual. Even though a Demosthenes might have produ ced a greater effect than a Whitfield— which I very much doubt—yet the former spoke to a vulgar, illiterate, semi-barbarous rabble, Whitfield to the moral and the cultivated. Those same orctorica! powers which suffice to inflame the passions of the masses to violent outbreak, would scarcely move a man of clearness and strength of mind. No extra credit is duo to the Grecian oraior because he rouse the ani.nal passions of an animal mob — because he could make a turbulent, bloodthirsty assemblage pant for war. Their animal passions were most powerful, and even spontaneously active. No great feat then, to touch the igniting spark to the powder of popular passion, and produce tho flume of jvoe. .But if he could have incited the Grecians to something elevated, moral and intellectual, we miltht have had just grounds for commend, ton—whereas Ik) only incited the_ warlike to war, and kindled those propensities to sCill higher uetion, which were already spontaneously burning, and struggling for vent. And the very fact that Demosthenes never spoke on great moral or intellectual subjects, shows now low.in the fcale of the higher faculties-—those which alono .constitute true greafness—were both ho and the orators and people of antiquity. The people were nations of pure animals, and their oratots were their animal leaders. Is not the truth of this apparent 1—and (he plaudits bus[ towed oil the ancients entirely unmerited I «u Itl.

But lo the tribunul of rigid comparison. To put sentence* and of some of the most distinguished ancients side by side with .those of some of the most distinguished moderns—of a Demosthenes by ihe side of a Patrick Henry, or o» R ("ice. ro by the side of a Rurko—would unduly protract, and after all be an imperfect test, Nothing but general summaries will pre sent the true.issue. These we mutt make individually lor ourselves. For one, 1 have studied the ancient languages, and translated Homer, Demosthenes, Cicero, Horace, and Virgil-r-read with great minuteness and had them expounded to me by learned professors of tho classics, who have rpent their lives in these siurties, and were qualified to diidoso all their beauties ami excellencies,—and say, wiih the assurance of practical and minute examination, that (hev fall far short, in my candid opinion, ol modern productions. The greatest speech of the greatest orator of antiquity —Demofcthenes, "on th» Crown"—1 con. sider a flimsy production compared with the speeches of Patiick Henry or Henry Clay. Its argument* are so weak as io l,e really ridiculous. Not a single fitM prlr. oiple or solid argument is presented fr m beginning to end ; but a perfect tirade of unreasonable abuse On his opponent, and tho most disgusting laudation of himself— ample reason for condemnation of the production, even if-it had no other fault, and whatever excellences it might embody. In other words, its suSject matter.is.utterly worthless. Then how can it be a great speech ? VVhai is the first great condition of all oratory, of all authorship, of all poetry,• but idea—the subject matter— tha great .and profound truths presented*? Can any speech lacking in this paramount excellence deserve prui-e J Yet all. the tpeeohes of Doniosthenea lack it, and are literally Jill«d with trasl*—with violent phillipica, so much so that we name overbearing, violent denunciations philUpics because his speeches airuinst Philip were thus terribly ,vituperative. Can .speeches made up of such materials, hawover ex pressed, deserve encomium, especially the fulsome, .bestowed on Demosthe nea ? But wo account for this adulation, by showing that man constitutionally lauds the anpient, qven (hough it may deserve censure instead- 41" 't!t V'UlldtltlC'i ot t.K i-!h itiYiru ttit: W ii Hfly ftttltirrlii lor MKt iBvor* !D•D will tuiifuvnr C*CM| nxl'linj} UjtRL rIIIfi3Itf i merit » (vinWu-'Jit'c ft it"' «Di«f ujfi i-. lir-..t ijui'r nortli m'tlie butler House iMU'i-n, Feb, I", 1054 11 Piifi fJjiHUK 'WtW IWI if house, €.
