- r • • • {CUil MINU A1U). LI I'Ll OK PATRICK IlLNRY. IN CONTINUATION. In the year 17GG .Mr. Henry "as again a member ol the bouse of delegates ; hut the speaker having at I lie opening of the session announced the repeal n| the stamp act, no occasion was offered him, of displaying his Iraiisceiidaiil powers, ox ci pt on a motion to separate the offices ol treasiiper and speaker, which lie support ed with “ liimasual ability and carried. From that period to the year I77d, altlio’ lie continued a member of 1 tie house,— and although a firm and temperate oppo sition was kept up to the British ministry, as appears from the strong resolutions which were oil more limn one occasion a dopted, yet iiotliingis recorded of him by our author, distinguishing him in a par ticular manner from llie other members id the house. This interval Mr. \V. lias very judiciously laid hold of, lo bring us acquainted with Mr. II. as a lawyer. “ After having tried his strength (s.ivs he) for several years on the legislative floora gatud some ol the brightest champions of the liar, Mr. Henry came in the year l7oh *o the bar itself of the general court.”.... fieri- lie seems never lo bare attracted much notoriety for his arguments on “ mere questions of law.” “ He "aided that learning whose place no splendour of genius ran supply lo the lawyer; and lie wauled those habits ol slrady and perse vering application, without which that learning is not to be acquired.” Yet even here “ on questions turning on the laws of nations, and even on the maritime law whose basis is natural reason and justice, bis vigor of mind made him occasionally very great.’ It was, however, says our -author, “ on questions before a jury, thus lie "as m his natural element.” “ There, his intimate knowledge of human nature, and the rapid.ty us well us justiies* of hi* iiut-rences, frem lire inning < xju« s.-i-nis of the eoiuiteiiiuicc, as to what v\ is gassing in the lieartsof hi* hearers, availed !nm fnllv.— The jury might he composed of entire stran. cars, yui he rarely failed to know them, man Io nian, before the evidences was closed .... There was im si . ti■ <1 tistor.. nf t.. .1. .. could long hide tin: riiantcter from his pier cmg anil experienced view. The slightest i u gunrded dun of countenance, or motion of the eye, h i him at once into the toiil of the man whom he was observing. Or, if he doubted whether his conclusion* were correct, from the exhibitions of countenance during tin- narrati on of the evidence, he h.ul a mo le of playing a prelude as it were, upon the jtirv, in his' ex ordium, which never failed to ’v.uUe into hfe each silent string,'’ and shew him the whole compass as well as pilch of the uisliu meiit. His style of address, on these occasi ons, is said to have resembled very much that of the scriptures. It wa*strongly marked with tne s.nne simplicity, the same energy, the same pathos. He sounded no alarm ; he made no parude, to pul the jury on their guard.— It yy.is nilso tifunral, so humhie, >o units*nmin;-. that (hey were tarried imperceptibly along, and attuned to Mis purpose, until some master touch dissolved them into ter.rs. Hi* guagv of passion w»» perfect. Hi* voice too liada wonderful eiled. He had a ^imulur power of iulusing it into a jury, and mi\um »t* notes yvi ill their nerves, in a manner which it is impossible to describe justly ; hut which produced a (iiriiiiug excitement, in the happi est concordance with Itt3 designs. \0 hnew so well ns lie ilul yy hat kind of topics to urge to their understandings ; nor what kind of simple imagery to present to their hearts — lti« eye. which lie kept ri vetted upon them, :ii •SoMed the process of fuseigatio-i, arid ut the same time tniouned him what the tie to press or at what itistaut to retreut, if by rare acci-’ dent lie touched a:i unprupilions string. And then he had such an exuberance of ippropri ate thoughts, ul apt illustrations, cf nppiuitc images,and such a melodious aud varied roll of the Inpniest words, that the hearer was nev er wearied by repetition, and never ' w inced trom an apprehension that the intellectual treasures ot thu speaker would bn exhuu ted.'' If in civil cases before a jury he was thus powerful, in: scents in criminal In nave been irrcsisjfiltle, WImmi their turu cuuie on the docket lie was,asour author expresses it, the “ tnoiiarcii of tiig bar." In these cases “ He adapted himself, without effort’’con tirmes our author," to the chaiaetei of the c'111*0 ; seized with the unickues* of iut>ii:iou. Its defensible point, an.1 never permitted the jury to lose sight of it. Sir Joshua Keyuohls has said ot I itiati, that, hv a few strokes of his peucil, lie knew Imwto mark the image and character id whatever object he attempt ed ; aud produced, by this means a truer re presentation, than any of his piedecessois who finished every hair. In like tuauuer, Air’ Henry by a tew master stroke* upon the evk I deuce, could in general stamp upon the cause I whatever image or character iie pleased ; and i convert it into tragedv or coined V - <11 ll IM yhVd rei^n v. ill* and with a power wlncli no efloifv of ins adversary could counteract. He never wearied the jury by a dry and minute analysis ol the evidence; h«did not expend his strength 4itfiinshiHe: Ihf! hairs ; lie produced all his hi d, cftccl by these rare master touches, and by the resistless skill. * ith which, iu a very few words lie could mould and colour the prominent tacts’ ot a cause to Ins purpose. He had wonderful address too, in leading off the minds of his licarers from the contemplation of unfavoura ble points, if at any time they were too stub born to yield to bis power of transformation. He beguiled the hearer so far from them, as to diminish them by distance, and sol ten, if not entirely cast into shade, their too *tiong natu ral colours. At this distance too, lie had a better opportunity of throwing upon them a false light, by mi apparently casual ray of re fraction from oilier points in the evidence, whose powers no man better know how to ar ray and concentrate, its order to disguise or eclipse an obnoxious fact. It required a mind (W uncommon vigilante, uud most intractable temper, to texist this charm with which lie do coyed away his hearers ; it demanded a rapid ity ot penetration, w hich is rarely if ever, to be found in the.jury box, to detect the intellect!! al juggle by which he spread his nets around them ; it <• died for a stubbornness and obdu racy of soul which does not exist, to sit unmov ed under the 'pictures of horror or of pity, which started from fits canvass. They might resolve if they pleased, to decide the cause a guinxt him, and lo disregard every thing which be could urge in the defence of his client. Hut ;t was all in vain. .Some feint in an unexpect ed direction, threw them oil their guard, and they were gone; some happy phrase, burning from the son), some image fresh from nature's mint, and bearing her own beautiful and gen nine impress, struck them with didiglitfiilxur pns«. Hud melted them info conciliation ; and conciliation towards Mr. Henry was victory inevitable. In short, lie understood the hu man character so perfectly ; knew so well all its strength and all in weaknesses, together with every pith and byw-y which wind* a iiiiiimI In the citadel of tip best fortified heart and mind, that he never failed to take them, Cither by stratagem or Storm. Hence be was, beyond uosibt, the ablest defender of rriminals m VirL’iiiia, and will probably nevci bo enuallcd ‘gain.” - I lifMf extract* fnnii li abundant infor ri'titioii iu litc nmlcr oi l lie pow ers of Mr. )l«nrv as mi advocate, :trM m wbat his peruftar excellence cgnsisle'l, i torn t!ii.« subject Our author turns to jfiM- in u I short, buI exceedingly clear ami inlcrest [ ing account of the steps taken by the British ministry against the colonies im mediately alter the repeal of the stamp act, and the nature and degree of tlicop 1 position on tlieirparl, which he closes in page with the following observations : “ It is not uiv purpose to record the series of mravnp'i which h it to the dismemberment of the Hntij.li empire.

The revolution may I he truly said to have commenced with Ins rtso | Union- in I7r>. I'rout that period not an hour of nettled peace had existed between the two count lies. It is true, that (he eruption pioduc ed by the stamp act, had subsided with its . repeal ; and die people bad resumed llieir un | cient settlements md ucciiput-ons ; hut there l was no peace of the heart or of the mind. The 1 rumbling ot the volcano w as still audible,ami the smoke of the crater continually ascended, mingled r.ot mifrcipieutly with those tlames and musses of ignited matter, which auounced a new mid more terrible explosion. “ These were** the times that tried the soulr ol men and never, in any country or ill any age, did there exist a race of raea, whose toufs were better tilted to endure the trial. Pati ent ill suffering, firm ill adversity,calm and collected amid (lie dangers whirli pressed a rotu.d them, coni in council, and brave in hat tic, they wcie worthy of the cause, and the cause was worthy of them.” In the session of 177U the** house Itad the merit of originating tliut powerful en gine ot resisfan. e, corresponding com mittees between the legislatures of the different colonies,” a measure which it was anticipated would lead eventually to a congress. The recommendation to this oiled on the part ol those who composed the house of burg sses, was brought about in May 1771, by circ it install-. Os detailed very satisfactorily by our author, and on the first ol August following tin- first con vention of Virginia delegates having met at Williamsburg, Messrs. Peyton Ran dolph, Richard II. Lee, George Wash ington, Patrick llenrv, Richard Bland, Benjamin Harri-on and Kdmiiud Pendle ton, were appointed deputies to congress and furnished with an able and spirited letter of iustrudioiis, which is given at large in the volume before us. Of the congress itself, and the part sustained in it l>v Mr. 11 , the author gives the follow ing account : “ On the font th of September 1771, that ve nerable b. d\, ihe old continental congress #f ' mien cm.iicx i <ovi urus w iinui every Ame rican heart will bow villi pious homage, while Mu- name of'liberty slmll be dear in our land) met for the l,i>t time, at Carpenter’s Mali, in theritvof i*!iiladei|diia. Peyton Randolph, ot \ irginia, was eh own president, and tile hoti'e whs organized for liiisincx-i, with all tile solemnities ot a regular legislature. The most eminent ineu of the vurious coin l ies, were now lor the tir.st time, brought to gether. They were known to each other by tame, but they were personally strangers. The meeting was awfully solemn. The object which had called them together, whs of incalculable magnitude. The liberties of no les» than three millions of people, with that of all their poste rity, were, staked on the wisdom and energy of their,councils. No wonder, then,at the ion" and deep silence which Is said to have follow ed upon their organization ; at the anxiety with which the members looked around upon each other; and tile reluctance which every individual fell to open a business so ftsarfuilv momentous. In the midst of this deep <y death like silence, and ju>t when it was hegiiiiiintr t» become painfully embarrassing, Mr. Henry arose slowly, as if bornedo \n by the wei dit of the subject. After luuttrriug, uccarding to Ins liuliii, tin ok:1 ii a most impressivc exordium m which hr merely echoed back the comci-’ ousness ot every oilier heart, in deploring his inability to do justice to the occasion, he launched grtdn-dly.iutoa recital of the coloni al wrongs. Rising, a* tm advanced, with the grande nr ot Ins subject, and glowing ,.t len ah with all the majesty and expectation of the oc casion, h is Speech Seemed in-rt* than tliatof mortal man. Even those who had heard him in ull Ins glory, in the house of burgesses Of Vir ginia, were astonished at the manner in which Ins talents seemed to swell and expand them selves, to till the vaster theatre in a nidi lie was now placed. There wa» no rant—no rhapsody - no labour ot (he understanding—nostraiuiii" ol tae voice no contusion of the utterance tliscountenance was erect— his eyes steady— ms action, noble—his enunciation clear and nrin—h.iumiJ poised on its centre— bis views ot ins subject comprehensive ami great—and ins iiii.igm it ion conn-rating with a magni neem-e ami a variety, which struck even that assem.ily with aiiiazeineiit and awe. He sat down amidst murmurs of astonishment and an p la use; and as he had been before proclaimed the greatest orator of Virginia, lie was now, oil eveiy hand, admitted to be the first orator of America. Here cuds the 3d section of tlie work. Our author coiiiiiicnccs his fourtii by ac knowledging IImt Mr. Henry liatl not the same taleyls lor writing as for speaking ; which leads him into an examination ”of the question, whether there he really, as some have imagined, any incongruity in their union—He decides in the negative, and traces lho rareness ot the occurrence to “ defective education, taking1 this word nr its larger, Homan sense.” “If. (sa\s lie) inc genius or the orator has been pro perly trained in Iiis youth to both pur suits, instead of lieiwg injured, it will, 1 apprehend, he found to derive additional graee, beauty, and even sublimity, from the discipline. Ilia flights will be at least as bold—they will be butter sustained— and whether he chnwKvs to descend in majestic eir.

He delighted to »wim the flood, to breast the tor rent, and to scale tlio mountain : and support ed a* he was,m all public bodies, l»y masters of the pen, tliev iiisi.st, that it was even fortunate tor the revolution, t ** u A is genius was left at laige, to revel in all the wildness and boldness ofnutate; that it enabled him tw infuse, more successfully, his own intrepid spirit into the measarisot the revolution ; that it rendered hi* courage more contagions, and enabled him to achieve, by a kind of happy rashness, what perhaps, bail been tort by a better icgulated mi ml. i Congress having risen and Mr. FI. re- ! turned fo his native county,(Hanover)lo i which he had conic hack some tune pro- 1 vtoils from J.ouisa, we find him on the \ 20th o! March 1775, a member from that ’ county in the second convention of dele- I gales of Virginia, which now met in ftiC i ohl church in the town of Richmond.— 1 Soon after the convention was organized, 1 he moved several strong and manly reso- * lotions, the substance of w hich was, that t to secure our rights and liberties from the i further violations with which they are * threatened, the colony should be iintne- f iliatelv placed in a state of defence by t mn bodying, arming ami disciplining the - militia. 'Ibis proposition brought on a b violent debate between the moderate pur- *' v and those who, like Mr. Henry, were H oi at once going all lengths. A most in- ^ err-tiug acypunt ts given of it by our b author, with a sketch of the speeches 01 both sides. As to those of Mr. Hem v opponents, they are possibly not genu hie, hut resorted to by him to rmbcllixl Ids history, by giving us a view of tin* sen I linen Is of ditferent parties. This prac lice ot pulling speeches on great occa sions intv llie mouths of their chief per soilages, was a frequent one with the an cieut writers ; l»ut has been laid aside hi llie moderns, we think, without any goo» reason; and we are glad to see ouiaullm resort to it. The speech of Mr. Henry however, or rather tins skeleton of hi: speech, is undoubtedly genuine, lor it ex lilhiis strong! r marks of Hie character o hiseloquetu e than any other contained ii the work. Il is imli’ed a sublime appea to the reason and passions of his auditors and hears the strongest impress ofhisex traordinary genius. We regret that w< cannot give it entire to our readers, am that we are obliged to content oursetvei wilb extracting the two last paragraphs “They tell as, sir,” continued Mr. Henry “ that we are weak—unable to cope with s formidable anudversary. But when shall wi be stronger ? Will it be the next week or tin next year? Will it he when we are toiall disarmed 5 and when a British guard shall hi stationed 111 every house ?

Heretofore we have seen hit the ornament ol die bur, or the leader t a popular assembly—now In* appears lx lore its Hit* military commander of an am cd force. The object of tin* expedifio lie headed was to oblige lord Duniiiore t restore the twenty barrels of powder it had dandof tinely taken, on the night u die *20fli Anr I, 1775, I rout the magaziti at Williamsburg, or to make compeium Mon for it in money. In this alteruativ he completely succeeded, as will uppeu frotn the following curious receipt ; “ Doncastle’s ordinary, New Kent Mav ' 1775, received from the lion. Ricimrd Corbir esq.
