Ilashingtoti, ——. A person sojourning in ilna metropolis is led by a very natural curiosity, «t welt as by respect for his high reputation, to visit the Secretary of State. All thb pub lic functionaries at Washington, when not particularly engaged, are accessible to the culls .of Strangers. On being introduced,' I whs struck by thu unostentatious car riage and kind niugucr uf HI r.‘ Livingston. It was impossible to perceive in him the slightest'trace of personal vunity or self- snfliciency. I saw before me a man of s tall mill erect form—above sixty—with Itair, once n» black ns the raven's wing— with a quick, prominent nnd intelligent eye—dressed with taste mid elegance— but in a style eVory way suitable to bis years and high stutiolt. In his step ond movement, he seemed to possess elmost the spring and alacrity of youth. If ‘re quired only a glance to perceive, that the Secretary bad bneti bred itr the “best so ciety”—"by which ternu I do not merely mean that-he has been brought up amongst the rich—the well-born—the gav.mid the fashionable—but (but in bis youth and ear ly munhoud, he was accustomed to see and to associate with that numerous corps of gentlemen who were to bo found in the Army during the Revolution, and in Con gress soon after the adoption of our Con stitution. 1 mean, of course,- such men ns Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Mad ison, the Lees, anil lira Kntlcgcs, and the l'inckneys. Those men, by their gentle ness mid dignity in their intercourse with society, throw u grace over llioir endur ing renown. A man, in this inquisitive age, who has any acquaintance with the world, or any desire tu improve himself, is not sn(is6e"d with merely speculating upon tho dress, the manner, or the temper of a Secretary of State—the second officer in the ad- ministfation of a great Government. Op portunity lias been afforded mo, since my residence here, to see n good deal of Mr. Livingston, find therefoie, I propose to say something more of him. Yet it must bo acknowledged that uur language is vague iind wcuk, tv|ieh 'll is employed to distinguish the vurielies of pispntul superi ority.

But it is mi urdt% ous undertaking uccnrutely to describe the range and compass of a mun’s intellectual view—his power of contemplating ninny and distant objects together, without in distinctness or confusion. Before I at tempt to describe what Mr, Livingston is, I will stale wliat I ain very sitrnhc is not. lie is not n metaphysician—not an astro nomer—nor amiillietmilicinu—uorn phys iologist——nor u chemist. He is wholly exempt from Ihe love of singularly or par adox. He has no invutcrnlo prejudices. His familiarity with die uclivo world hus guarded him against nil visionmy nnd fruitless speculations. He never speaks Or writes in the language of exaggeration. Mr. Livingston has nn extensive tk- ' quaiutanre with, anil ii warm devotion to, I Literature. This love of iilcraluro lias been ono of his main enjoyments through life, wlion relieved from thu pressure of his professional duties. No mail is more tlioionghly convinced than tho Secretary of Stute, tlint u civilian and a ginlns’inun in these days, without literature, is like i Polyphemut with his eVeeut. And here II mny he permitted to remark, that the value of what is termed literary knowl- grent or useful) Mr. Livingston is a devoted friend to hbeny....to constitutional representative Government. In my conversniitms with him on this subject, I have been strutk with his vigorous thoughts and broad and comprehensive views. In the range of my acquaintance, I de not know a single men who has a calmer or more settled* opinion, that forms of Government hnye an overwhelming influence on Ihe happi ness of society, than Edward Livingston ....no one who has a deeper detestutioo of those hideous vices which are generated by tyranny, in the governed as well as the governor. I believe there cannot be round in the nation a man who would rr- sent with more indignation and prompti* tudo any attempts on (lie public liberty, than Edward Livingston....no one wive holds in higher estimation the weil-found- ed favor of the public: And yet no hopes of houor....no prosjiects of promo tion....could induce him to appeal to Ihe guilty passions and prejudices of the peo ple ; or to mainlaio measures pet sanc tioned by sober reason. If yen talk to Mr. Livingston of the expansion of tho public weulth—of our capital—of our commerce and communications—of the multiplication of our riches—his counte nance glows with delight, nnd he connects them instantly with our constitution and a ul its groat principles. If he ,peaks a you of tho expenditures of the Govern ment—he denounces all wasto and extra vagance, as hostile to liberty t And yet bo holds to n liberaleconomy—not (hat false economy which mars Ihe national pros perity und chokes up the spriugs of future wealth—that is short-sighted, single-eyed. —that looks to petty savings as the sole secret of political alchemy. Mr. Livingston, is a profound artd ec* complished lawyer. During |tis long end brilliant career at the Bar, he exhibited in his pleadings an exact knowledge of id) the strong and weak parts of every cause he had to mannge. He employed general principles, and enlarged his views to wide and comprehensive conclusions. Always restrained by delicacy, springing both ftont taste and fueling, he used an lawful aud honorable advantages most likely to bo successful.In his forensic combats he was dignified, und observed strictly tiio laws of polished htxtiiiiy. A Strong, masculine, perspicuous speaker— never fantastic or absurd....without any edge, is not, perhaps, genonillv perceived; , )|b< " although it liesmuch nearer to the feelings of niunUiod than science—uud ulthough it tins the mo l important effect on tire senti ments with which the sciences are regard ed—the activity with which they wo pur sued, nnd the' modes in which they are cultivated. Polite literature ulkires the world into the neighborhood of tho sci ences of morals and of mind: and is not only the true guardian of the moral sci ences, and the solo instrument of spread ing titeir bent fits among men, but it be comes, Irotn these very circumstances, the regulator of their cultivation and their pregress. Hence we see in this age of growing light and udvaucing improvement, renders in the common ranks of society, who arc gradually led on from eloquence and poetry, to morals and philosophy.— Philosophers and moralists, who u&cd to speak only to one another, now address tite grent body of mnukind with the hope of fame and usefulness. luiercourse with the great public, now supplies new mate rials and imposes new restraints. The feelings—common sense—nnd ordinnry nflairs of men, now present themselves to the statesman. Our public functionaries speak in intelligible terms to tile general understanding and sootiments. Hence, Mr. Livingston lias secured to himself, all those mental gratifications und’worldly nd vantages which result from an acquaint a tice with guuerul literature. Even now he reads with zest and avidity, the finest | literary productions of lho duy. Una is [ filled with a gratifying surprise, to see the Secretary still imployod in disciplining and enriching his mind—011 pursuing, with tile aider tuid vivacity of early man hood, that system of self-education, found ed on study, research nnd the deductions of experience, without which a man can hardly continue to bo, at this day, oitltor tawdry ornnments....liis knowledge ot Itii subject wits copious, almost to redundao- cy....his judgment was profound nnd higlw reaching. Ho was heard with deep at tention by the judge by the jurors.... with reverence mid admiration by his brethren of the Bar....with delight by tho curious and inquisitive stranger. Twenty years ngo, whetu Edward Livingstou had attained tho ripeness of mature age..,, when he was in full practice....his fsme was known to the whole Weit....to thu very boatmen who navigated the Missis sippi. When engaged in a great cause, where lifo, reputation, or a vast amount of property was involved when he put form all his powers....when hit genius was enkindled....the homage of the crowd was attested by the eagerness with which it tressed forward to behold him, and the ireathlerfs silence with which it heard him. ' It is not my purpose to speak iu this place, particularly, of the Criminal Code which Mr. Livingston has given to his adopted State. Upon its'merits, ci vilians and statesmen, both of Europe and America, Itavo pronounced judgment. But, if the reputation of Grotius is canon ized,....if Vaitel, though a diffuse and su perficial writer, is yet read und applauded, ....if our praise is justly beftowed on Fulton fur his successful application of steam to the great and multiplied purpo ses of commerce,—if the countrymen of Clinton are bound tu gratitude to raise u mausoleum over his mortal remains, why should wo not liotior Edward Livingston for his admirable Code of Criminal Law, founded upon a philosophical view of matt. and a wise, practical judgment upon bis present condition? However, wo are cheered by oob consoling reflecting I The time is at hand when other than post humous honors will be awarded to oor great men. Tho time is appiMcbiag when homage will be paid, not merely to successful politicians, bqt. to intellectual supremacy. Very soon men will-unite—- not for thu great.and Ullto vulgar—not fur those cursed with morul perversion and intellectual blindness; but for men of broad, brilliant und sound views. Very soon a sufficient number will be iouud iu our nation who will appreciate the pro ductions of gouius. , Mr. Livingston is a statesman. IIow much ia comprehended in this tern^J In a statesman there must lie at the founder lion as it were—a lively sympathy in tiio fortunes of mankind—a wnrm zeal for the interests of truth and justice, without the guidance of which the highest moot • en dowments when applied to political re- searcliqg are in perpetual danger of losing their way. Under cur furm of govern ment at least, the motto of that eian who would be a statesman, must be, that “knowledge is powerand he must pos sess a capacity to perceive those splendid proofs that are multiplying before him, of its benignant influence. Ills mind must regard tho discoveries of tho past and presonj age, with reforunco tp the great
