We hope every man, who can, will

A GRAM)
Or- !
in
the
a
Through the courtesy of < ur . 1:1,
and distinguished friend. Dr. S. i - .
I Buatt, we have been permitted if
peruse and re-peruse the W'.mi, ?
fully interesting spec .'it which h.
delivered before the Bastrop Liter
ary Society on the evening of the
lfith of March.
The subject, as we said last
week, was the character of the il
lustrious Napoleon. The Doctor
took the position that Xapoleon
was prompted, in his public acts,
by a devoted love for his country.
His arguments were the consequent
out-croppings of a studied, logical
deduction. His inferences were
founded upon an unbroken chain
of the profoumlest reasoning. Iiis
assertions flowed from a fountain
of metaphysical calculation. For
instance, listen at the Doctor's def
inition and introduction of the sub
ject:
"This is one of those peculiar
questions of relative affection of
self, for the welfare of others ; or,
otherwise expressed, exalting self
by promoting the prosperity of
those, incapable of supervising
their own interests in life ; which,
as an intelligent ambition, dictates
that which is always condusive to
this and in results as a base from
which, the desire springs as the
central head, or figure of its own
creation; the adverse to this uni
versai law as results of effect, a:
simply the evidence of a brutal
arm, without intelligence to guide,
or temper the power of its cause."
Never have we heard a subject
for debate presented with such
tersness and pointed rhetoric as are
displayed in the prelude which we
have just quoted from the learned
Doctor's speech. Just consider the
sublime significance of that strik
ingly original expression, "this is
one of those peculiar questions of
relative affection of self," and then I
ponder upon the stupendous depth j
of this : "For without an antece
dent suggestion which, we may
term desire, there never would be
even the manifestation of an exist
ence." Such a thought! And
clothed in such beautifully coined
words ! Further on the Doctor, in
speaking of the prompting motives
"This, is gemuo,
of that nature from the Eternal
Cause himself, developed as spirits
in this phenominal feature of mat
ter as man."
Seldom does it fall to the lot of
a country village denizen to listen
to such seemingly inspired thoughts
as that last quoted. The entire
speech is full of such rare gems of
original thought, which are but the
faithful and brilliant reflection of a
gigantic, a wonderful mind. Dr.
Buatt is truly a prodigy—an extra
ordinary genius. We are sorry his
aspirations do not lead him into
the toilsome fields of literature.
M ueh more fame and honor wauld
wreath his brow than can be ob
tained by extracting teeth.
Those of our readers, who would
like to enjoy a rare literary treat,
can call on the doctor, and we
think he will treat them as kindly
as he did us—lend them the manu
script of the speech, from which
we have made these quotations. It
will pay you to read the whole
speech.
Tribute of Respect.

in respect to the memory of the late
Judge S. G. Parsons, deceased,
Hon. J. Harvey Brigham was re
