By Savoyard
Some threo or four weeks ago the
agricultural appropriation bill was un
Sfcr consideration In committee of the
dole In the house of representatives
Kid on March 25 Mr Stanley of Ken
Zcky got the floor and proceeded to
nejily to n very able speech by Mr Dal
Jnn some time earlier In which the
I
accomplished statesman from Penny
Tania undertook to contrast Alexander
plnnSYI1Tania
I
Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson much
to the disparagement of the latter and
much to the credit of the former
Mr Dalzell got his history of the
Wow England school tho Harvard set
Henry Adams Henry Cabot Lodge
Theodore Roosevelt and so on not to
target William E Curtis and Edward
5 Ellis and it made the sedate think
tr from Plttsbiirg ordinarily so wary
Mid so accurate a very credulous per
IOn We sea the somewhat similar
effect when the brilliant mind of Ger I I
trude Athorton contemplates Hamilton i I
jend Jefferson through the same his
torte specs I
Owsloy Stanleys reply to Dalzrll
as crushing and conclusive He
pointed the two men Hamilton and
ftfterson precisely as they were and
placed them precisely where authentic
history will put themthe Virginian
She wisest of political philosophers
ibe West Indian the most brilliant of
political adventurers Many of Stan
Mys political friends tried to dissuade
Sim from the encounter They did not
know much about Hamilton and Jet
ftrson but they knew a deal of John
mizell whose conclusions they had
never embraced but whose statements
4 facts they had never challenged
Stanley did not dare to enter the
fiats without being armed capapie
WIld bo spent a week of almost cease
ites Investigation night and day lit
searched fifty volumes and drew from
manuscripts In the national library
and the state department When he
Brgan the Democrats were apprehen
< j7Q and the Republicans confident A
ttw minutes the Democrats were san
yilne and the Republicans confused
Jftlh were astonished Never before
tn more than 100 years of history
tasking had the American congress
one the two great fathers of Amerl
aa politics as they were and as they
atfU be estimated by the futuro Gibbon
we Hume
HumeAlexander
Alexander Hamilton was born a
rSfUsh subject In the Insignificant
aland of Nevis In the West Indies
His father was a Scotchman and his
lather a French woman In his earl I
awT youth he gave earnest of the
epfendld genius ot which nature had
ttsdowed him Ere he was twenty he
arts tho first political controversialist
J the colony of Now York whether
rUb tongue or pen His motto might
Save been
why then the worlds mine oyster
WhIch 1 with mind will open
As n political writer he was greater
Aan Paine and little Inferior to
lJnke As an orator he was perhaps
second to Henry only of the Revolu
Siuuary generation Had he gone to
sndon he would have been capable
af filling a bigger place In English an
sifs than the younger Pitt Had he
gone to France and escaped the Terror
At slight have been second to Napole
owBonaparte alone an honest Tnlloy
wed a moro fortunate Massena
Instead Hamilton came to America
11 1 assumed the role of Hampdnn HP
ssposed Lard North not for the tax I
J2f levied KO much as the principle it
kwolved It was a little bit of a tax
a great piece of folly on the part of
lie ministry though not oppressive
Jut If allowed to be a precedent It
vas In the power of the crown to
cake serfs of the colonists Hamilton
stored the army and became the sec
artery of the comnianderlnchlef and
ntt the field he was as daring as he was
too In the forum That archflatterer
ol matchless scoundrel Talleyrand
Atlared that Hamilton was greater
Kuu Napoleon or Fox which Is all
I8a h but Hamiltons eulogists are ab
aird enough to take what the unscru
jeloua French miscreant said for his
wl opinion Well might the shade
Hamilton pray to bo delivered from
American history as she Is writ
Hamilton Is actually held up as the
fiber of the constitution when the
ems WIng for which he had more con
Jkmpt than for that Instrument was
tfte Articles of Confederation which It
ipplanted As for patriotismthe
sal stuff not the brand described by
TTalpolo Hamilton had none and It
wis Impossible for him to have any
living expatriated himself at the age
d sixteen years The patriotism that
Brings from the heart and fills the
soul Is not a plant that can be carried
tlom clime to clime The patriot Is
xade of the boy that plays around the
Bering gambols In the orchard re
fines In the shade of trees In happy
IShyhood It Is catching in the
wnoolroom as It Is Imparted from ur
dUn to urchin and It Is all over and
around the playground Washington
wtd Henry Adams and Putnam Rut
Mge and Marlon were patriots So
sere old George Clinton and Philip
S huylar These were
Native and to the manor born

aet and could not be moved by the
wntlments that were natural to these I

t Hamilton made one great speech in
3Be constitutional convention and then
fie disappear but the romancers
Wfo of whom makes him a compound
iT Aristidea Clnclnnatua and Sclplo I
africanus ay that Hamilton wrought
WTO effectually for the constitution
I
K
Jn the background True his writing
secured the adoption of tho constltH
tlon after Madison Elswprth Sherman
and company had madeit but it was
notthat ho believed In the constitution
or loved It but that he thought It bet
ter than the articles of confederation
because It lodged more power In the
federal establishment
As the secretary of tho treasury In
Washingtons cabinet he was at hit
greatest He had the gift of organ
zatlon and he brought order out ol
chaos but ho had too much mental
Integrity or mental pride to pretend I
that the protective system was not a
hardship on the people And Mr
Stanley quoted from him some lan
guage that sounds marvelously Dem I
ocratic on the tariff questionI I
Mr Dalzell made this declaration p
Ho certainly Is n bold man who in
the face of history contends today
that tee permanent policies which
have entered Into tho statutes and
character of our nation are not the
policies dictated by Hamilton and his
followers
And to that Mr Stanley retorted
Here my temerity may argue more
than my judgment but I dony It
There never was a deduction more ab
solutely unfounded hurled defiantly
Into tho teeth of history
What were the policies of Alexan
der Hamilton
HamiltonHe
He would have had a president for
lifohe Is elected every four yqars
He VkOiild have senators during
good behavior they serve a fixed and
definite term of six years
He would have the executive arm
ed with an absolute veto you can by
twothirds majority annul that veto
He would have muzzled free speech
Jefferson opened tho deliberations of
this house to tho naked view and can
did criticism of a free and untram
meled pres
Ho defended tho alien and sedition
laws they are repealed He founded
a national bankIt Is demolished All
his cherished and vaunted schemes
are gone glimmering In the dream of
things that were exploded fallacies
they litter the ddbfls of history
I challenge the gentleman from
Pennsylvania to give me one single
solitary policy of Hamilton which was
ever crystallized Into law that lived
His policies are gone his followers are
dead There arc only left his apolo
gists and his eulogists
If Jefferson had not come back from
France when he did It Is more than
possible that the colonies would have
sought the protection of England and
that would have resulted In a return
of allegiance to the British flag When
the French revolution came It was
hailed with approval l < y the best of
the Intellectual world Including Ed
mund Burke Charles James Fox
Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine
It was the revolt of liberty against
despotism the longdelayed triumph
of light over darkness but in tho
compensations of human affairs the
atrocities of tho Terror wero com men
surate with the centuries of enormities
that privilege had perpetuated In
France and there was a revulsion of
public opinion Even Burke became
the most formidable of all the adver
series of the revolution he had ap
plauded Hamilton agreed with Burke
and so did a far greater than Hamil
ton even George Washington
There was actual war between
France and the United States and nu
merous battles fought on the water
between the two powers Washington
was again appointed commanderIn
chief and chose Hamilton as his chief
lieutenant England and France were
In a loath grapple Had war been
declared and wa ed for a year It Is
morally certain that British rule would
have been reeatabllatied In our coun
try Jefferson prevented that war
and by that act he saved the Union
Mr Dalzell had the temerity to chal
lengo the conduct of Jefferson in the
acquisition of Louisiana and asserted
that the thing was accomplished In
spite of Jefferson And now It was
that the Lord delivered the accom
pushed Pennsylvania Into the hands
of the brilliant Kentuckian Stephen
A Douglas in reply to Seward did
not tower above his adversary more
gigantically than did Stanley over Dal
zell It was this part of the speech
that showed what a genius for re
search Is possessed by the gifted ora
tor from the Second Kentucky district
It Is too long to quote One must read
It entirely to get a proper conception
of It It Is not at all remarkable that
Mr Dalzell was content to allow that
the debate is a closed Incident Every
Intelligent onlooker In our political
Vienna should read Dalzells speech
and then read Stanleys reply
When Stanley came to discuss the
duel between Burr and Hamilton ho
put an entirely new phase on the con
troversy Hamilton was a believer in
the code He was on tho field as
Laurens second In the duel with Gen
eral Charles Lee He sought a quarrel
with John Adams that could have been
settled according to his ideas of per
sonal honor only on the field He
challenged James Monroe and would
have fought him If Acron Burr bad not
lent his good offices and composed the
difference without a hostile meeting
On the field of Wcehawken he do
layed the giving of the word till he
could wipe his glasses to make his
vision clearer and yet we are told
that his Intention was to fire in the
air For years he had assailed Burr
and for years Burr held his pce
Hamiltons eulogists tell us that he
accepted Burrs call to the field be
cause tho standards of those days
made it imperative that he should do
so To that Stanley made this Inexor
110
able retort
I I agree that wo should not judge
Jthe J duelist of that day by the standard
cf this But there li no logic by which
you can pardon the acceptor 1 a chal1 I
lenge and condemn the sender By I
that barbarous code ho who was charg i
offense could not
with an infamous offensquld
clear his skirts by proving its falsity
To prove the charge false and to fall
to resent It was to aggravate the 1m
putatlon of cgWnrdicpin l That day
more odious than vice or crljtne The
same perverted public opinion which l I
necessitated the acceptance fmrced the
Bending of a challenge Z
Could a retort be more co thof f
If Hamilton was a martyr qj the bar
barons code when he accepUjd It nec I
essarily follows that Burr ry ts also a i
martyr when It required hlnf to send j
tho challenge w
IThose fond of the brilliant the or
nate the exuberant the splendid can
find It In these passages with which
Stanley closed his speech 4
For centuries neither the tel scope
of the astronomer nor the researches
of science could solve the njystfTy of
that misty light that glimmering gos
samer encircling the brow of night
at last the spectrum revealed In this
nebula unborn worlds held In a bhlm
meting gauze revolving noses of In
candescent gas cooling through tho
passing cycles of time growing d user
without shrinking within forming
smoky concentric circles a whirling
luminous fog congealing Into molten
rings drawn by their own gravity into
rude globes and these > spinning
spheres shaped by the plastic hand of
Divinity like clay upon a potters
wheel Into planets and their satel
lites new solar systems swinging for
the first time Into their orbits In the
trackless fathomless depths above
Thus God peoples the heavens with
radiant worlds
I have fancied that those daring
bands of exiles forgotten by one world
and los in the dark wilds of another
living and dying In ignorance of the
mighty destiny of their childrens chil
dren conscious only that they were
freoI have fancied that He with
whom a thousand years are as a day
or a watch In the night when It Is
passed saw an unborn and puissant
nation through all the mistaof mis
cry persecution and death through
which succeeding generations passed
first to Independence then to the mas
tery of the land and sea
In the vast womb of the wilderness
the colonies took form though vary
ing in their orbits and splendor but
they differed only as one star differs
from another stdr In glory In the
hour of destiny each found its own
place about the great central power
to which like the planet they were
eternally bound yet forever separate
The fathers I declare to you heard
the voice of God when they covered
this continent with states even as the
heavens are bespangled with stars
The same peril awaits the star and
tho state The state dissevered from
her slaters is lost even as a planet
I
wrenched from Its moorings comet
like becomes tho wandering vagrant
of the skies I
Either drawn by the compelling
gravity of a central force Into Its
mighty vortex Is annihilated by the
power which should have been the
source of light and life
From tho chaos of disunion and the
wreck of centralization may ho who I
ordained long preserve this constella g
tion of states
Let no new Hamilton arise to die o
turb or destroy their exquisite balII
ance harmonious distinct Indissolu
ble they shall remain eternal as thet
revolving stars
For years and years the dogmatism
of Hamiltons eulogists has dominated
American public thought I only wish I
that Owsley Stanley would take time
to elaborate this splendid speech ofI
his and offer It to some leading maga
zlne It would carry confusion into
1
every Hamilton camp and shake tho
walls of Harvard College themselves
