Liverpool C otton Broker’s Annual Circu
lar.
Liverpool, Slut Decemlwr, 1839.
If proofs were wanting of the fikllibiltity of
all attempts to penetrate the rnytlerie* of the cot
ton question, they are to be found in the history
of the last twelve months wherein arc dcvel»(»e<l
facts and conclusions so widely nt variance with
the reasonings and opposite predictions of men
equally sagacious in commercial affairs, that the
merit of being right oven by accident, would seem
to have been denied to all. A brief notice of the
position of the market, and of the state ol public
opinion at the commencement of the year, will
serve to confirm the justice of this observation.
The conflicting accounts as to the extent of
the coming crop had invested the subject of sup
ply will* more than ordinary interest. For two
months the advices lioin the I. idled states had
been steadily pointing to the probability of a large
deficiency, and the statistical details by which
they were accompanied, imparted to them an air
of truth well calculated to recommend them to
general acceptance —though it must be admitted
that the professed believers at this early period
wore comparatively few. The majority entertain
ed doubts, partly from information derived from
sources equally deserving ol credit, and partly
from the absence of any ascertained cause suffi
cient to explain so extensive a failure in the crop
as that alleged. The only one assigned was a
droughth in the spring; but, from the silence of
the planters, at the lime, who are usually not
slow to complain, it was reasonably concluded
that the mischief was neither serious nor wide
spreading. Saving this, there had been nothing
uupropitiousin the season from winder rain, or
premature frost; and when it is considered that
the growth of the United States had exhibited,
for a series of years, (with but a solitary excep
tion.) a constant average increase of 1*20,000
bales, it did require a combination of adverse
circumstances, far stronger than any which ap
peared, to surrender not merely the customary
annual increase, but to reconcile the falling olf,
besides, of 150,000 bales. From the effects,
however, which these reports, whether well or ill
founded, had upon prices, it may he suspected
that the numbers who secretly participated in
the fears of a scarcity were by on means incon
siderable ; though it may be regarded, perhaps, as
a fortunate circumstance, that the less sanguine
views upon the subject ostensibly prevailed.
None of the authorities in the cotton circles,
committed themselves to a smaller crop than
1.600.000 bales, and the portion appropriated to
this country varied from 900,000 bales, to 1,039,-
000 bales; adding to this the import from other
places, estimated at 305,000 bales, the same as the
preceding year, and the slock in the ports 321,100
bales; also the stock held by the trade above their
usual compliment stated to be 60,000 bales, and
deducting 102,000 bales for the re-exportation,
gave a supply for the service of the year, ranging
from 1,184,100 bales to 1,914,100 bales.—From
the smaller of these quantities the more ardent
believers in a short crop claimed a deduction of
150.000 bales, leaving as a minimum, for the
year's consumption. 1,334,100 bales. But what
ever diversity of opinion existed as to the sup
plies, the most perfect uniformity on another no
less important item of the calculation, the con
sumption, which by common consent was fixed
at no less than 24,000 bales per week, or 1,348,-
000 bales for the year; being the moderate in
crease of only 4 per cent, on that of the year be
fore. To have hinted at the probability of any
material diminution would have been deemed a
sort of heresy, useless indeed on the only grounds
that were admitted, extravagantly, high prices,
owing to the scarcity of the raw material. In
der the influence of these impressions, prices had
gradually advanced since October, (when they
were at the lowest) 1 j to 2d per lb ; fair uplands
being at 8 3-Bd. per lb. and other qualities in
proportion.
Such were the state and prospects of the cot- ’
ton market in the first week in January. Among ,
oilier topics of speculation was the part which j
the - 4 United States Bank" intended to play in j
the commercial operations of the year. The I
movements of this body were therefore watched
with some anxiety, as it was obvious that a crop
so much reduced would be an esay prey to its
monopolizing grasp, and that any large propor
tion of it being held up, whether on the other
side of the water or ou this, would tend greatly
to aggravate the evils ol a scanty supply. All
doubts, however, were cleared up on this poflnt be
fore the middle of the month, by the appearance
of a 1 *tter from Mr. Biddle, in which he distinctly
declared that, having succeeded in the purpose of
his interference, which was to protect the *• pros- |
trate planter" from the “ reckless waste ’ of the i
Rritisu merchants, the means by which that oh- i
jeet had been accomplished “ were relinquished,
and that now they had totally ceased.” But oth- ,
er parties had taken the field, “ both willing and
able," as Mr. Biddle expresses it, to do justice to
“ American interests." The principal importers i
manifested the sincerity of their own belief, by !
withholding their cotton as it arrived from the
market in which they were encouraged by each
succeeding account being more confirmatory than
the last, as to the deficiency of the crop. The
trade, on the other hand, fairly stocked with cot
ton, and without any corresponding demand for
goods and yarns, declined entering into Competi
tion with the spectator; and, with their habitual
skepticism, kept aloof, their purchases being con
siderably within what was required for their
weekly consumption.
About the first week in March, however, when
the advices from the states assumed a still more
decisive character, thc’.r fears appear to have been
thoroughly awakened, and joining the specula
tors in u simultaneous rush upon the market, in
that and the two following weeks they secured
96 000 bales,at an advance, first and last, of Id
to I**l peril). This seemed to be the expiring
effort of the market, for s< on afterward it sank
into a state of the most extreme depres-ion, in
which it continued with scarcely a gleam of
sunshine for sixteen weeks. Between the 23d
of March and 18th oi July, prices fell 2jd per
I!», the sales to the trade, for the same period, av
rageing only 12,000 per week. The spring de
mand had failed to bring the anticipated relief,
and the stocks in the manufacturers* hands had
accumulated to an extent that rendered the work
ing *• short time," with many a measure lather
of necessity than of choice. Though this cur
tailment in the hours of spinning was sufficient
ly extensive to produce a sensible effect on the
amount of business it was considered scarcely
adequate to explain so protracted a cessation of
the demand, and hence it was rather hastily con
cluded by some, that the quantity held by the
trade at the end of the year had been underrated
by some 20,000 or 30,000 hales.
Could the existence of so large an error have
been proved, this discovery at this critical junc
ture would, indeed, have been a fatal blow to the
hopes of the holders ; for the excess could not
bo looked upon merely in the light of a simple
addition to the stock, but from its having contri
buted to swell the apparent consumption of last
ear, and by consequence of this also, it would
•uve led to a constantly increasing error in the
stock in the kingdom from the commencement
of the year. But the foremost of all the diffieul
iit-s with which the market was beset, was the
1» essure for money, which, taking the rate of com
mercial discounts as n test, was always severe,
.md sometimes intensely so. The fairness of this
criterion, however, as a medium of comparison
with former years, may perhaps be questioned;
as, by the relaxation of the usury laws, an in
creased facility for raising money upon hills lias
been afforded, to the discouragement of oilier fi
nancial expedients resorted to in seasons of em
barrassment, which, in one shape or other, arc in
reality more costly to the parties accommodated.
To this cause may also be referred the escape
from those extremes in the depression of prices,
(for fair Uplands have never fallen below 6>d per
ll».) which on previous occasions of meicantile
distress have been the necessary result of a gen
eral forcing of sales as the only legal means of
meeting presssing engagements.
Toward the middle of .Inly the stock of cotton
in the hands of the trade were evidently exhaust
ed, anil the market began to show signs of re
turning animation. But the game was up; the
contest I»etween *• short crop" and “ short lime"
ji n! terminated in favor of the latter, and the year
was 100 far advanced to recover the lost ground,
the quantity on hand being more than enough to
answer anv calls that in the scooo of possibility
eoald be made upon it. Altoouga tae import oy
• the third week in July, from the United Stales
had fallen short by 280.000 hales, and from other
quarters by 20.000 bales, the slock in this port
f alone amounted to 533,000 bales, which compos
• ed of nine-tenths of American cotton, converted
the small numerical difference between the |>re
-1 sent and the slock at the corresponding period of
i the year preceding, into an increase of no trifling
i magnitude. Prices had now reached their lowest
point; in the last week in July they advanced Ad
to jfd per lh., hut in the next they declined M per
lb., which, however, was regained in the follow
ing week. From the second week in August the
movement was uniformly downward, by gradua
tions of Ad per lb., nearly each successive week,
with a slight check about the end of October, till
the middle of November, when prices realised jd
per lb. on some very vague reports ol the crops
having sustained injury from another drought.-
The accounts by the next packet, however, dissi
pated these apprehensions, and the market re
lapsed again into its former slate of inactivity,
prices at the same lime drooping, luring 1 ;d per
lh. lower for American descriptions on the litst
day of the year than on the first; while the pri
ces of Brazils, which hail not been subject to the
same fluctuations, closed as nearly as possible the
same.
Since the revival of the demand in July, the
market may have said to have been, on the whole,
rather animated than otherwise, the sides having
averaged 27,667 bales per week. Ot this quan
tity 65.000 bales have been taken by speculators,
and 64 800 bales buna fide for export leaving for
home consumption 22.360 bales per week. It
has already been observed, that the stale of cotton
in the interior was j educed to the lowest ebb at
the end of June, which, for the purpose of esti
mating the rale of consumption for the latter half
of the year, may be regarded as a sort ot starting
point. Limited no doubt as the stuck in hands
of the trade is at the present time, it must be
greater than at the period alluded to by some
20.000 or 30,000 bales, ns the quantity in transitu
must always preserve a certain proportion with
the quantity in use. On this data, therefore, the
average consumption for the last six months, out
of this market would appear to he about 21,050
bales per week ; but some mills for particular
qualities ol yarn are still working short time, and
others, now a few. are wholly standing for want
of the means or the credit to carry them on. In
the face of prospects discouraging, it is sur
prising that prices should have been so well sus
tained ; but many of the principal importers stood
pledged to parties on the other side to wait the
issue of the crop; and speculator were always
on the alert to lake advantage of monetary de
pressions. To speculation account must be
placed, also, a portion of the business reported for
shipment, which, it is understood, was retained
for resale on the spot.
For full particulars relating to stock and im
ports, reference is requested to the published ta
bles, which have been much enlarged and im
proved, and will be found to contain a variety of
details, useful and interesting to those who arc
minutely investigating the subject. The first
object which will attract notice is a defalcation of
no less than 308 540 bales in the import from the
United Stales —a result confirming the accuracy
of the advices early in the year, and furnishing
an ample justification of those who acted upon
them, whose hard fate it has been to pin tl eir
faith upon a single fact, which, could it have been
foreseen in its reality, would have been pronoun
ced, in one voice, to be all-sufficient to the aiitici
pated end. Nor has the deficiency been supplied
from other places, but rather the reverse ; a small
increase from India is more than counterbalanced
by a falling off from Brazil, the import from which
quarter has Itceii nearly stationary tor some years.
The import of Egyptians, and of miscellaneous
kinds, are as nearly as possible at the same. But
the most important item is the decrease in the
consumption. The stock, as ascertained by the
: annual returns, which there is every reason to
‘ believe have l»een made in the strickest good
faith, amounts to 250,490 bales, of which there
i arc in Liverpool 206,050 b6les. London 31,640
• bales, and Glasgow, 27,800 bales. Deducting
I this quantity, and what has been re-exported,
from the total import into the kingdom, and the
stock on hand on the Ist January, the deliveries
to the trade have been 1,058,676 bales; but in
order to arrive at the consumption, to lhi> quan
tity must bs ttddeu what is held in the interior less
than at the same period last year, generally esti
mated at 70,000 bales, the trade being supposed
to bold at the present lime not more than 90,000
bales; thus the quantity actually consumed has
i been on the average 21.906 bales per week, or a
1 decrease of 1335 bales per week from the con
! sumption of last year.
i In comparing the stocks as returned, with the
weekly statements prepared by this association,
j some important discrepancies will be observed.—
• Os American cotton the quantity appears to bo
j less than was supposed, by 27,830 bales; and of
j Brazils by 5,100 bales, whilst the stock of Egyp-
I tiiisi is 2,800 bales, and of East India 5.580 halos
more. Assuming that the stock has been cer
| redly returned, of which there is no cause to
i doubt, the difference can only be accounted for as
follows, viz: in American and Brazils, by sup
j posing that a quantity of both may have been
• forwarded, unsold, up the country, the retains of
j which have been furnished in a different manner
i to those of former years; the excess in Egyptian
and Surat, has probably been occasioned by con
signments from London and Glasgow, which are
known to have been considerable, and which are
not included in the import.
It has been usual to conclude the summary of
the vear’s transactions by some opinions of the fu
ture though recent experience has tended to
throw discredit upon these gratuitous predictions.
: The year has been a singularly disastrous one to
I the manufacturer, the spinner ami the merchant.
The former began the year encumbered with hea
vy stocks, which, entering into competition with
the producer of the current year, caused a ruin
j ous decline in prices, in spile of which the com
| plaints of want of demand were loud and gtner
, al. The demand, however, must have been small
1 only when compared with the magnitude of the
i stocks; for,- according to “ Burn’s Commercial
Glance," it appears that although the export of
twist was less for the first nine months by about
I one-seventh that of ail descriptions of goods with
j but. a few unimportant exception;. was considrra
, bly greater than during the corresponding period
m the year I cfore, while the home trade is con
silient! to have been tolerably satisfactory, not
withstanding th • high prices of hn ad. But the
prospects have already begun to brighten ; the old
stocks arc cleared off; the demand has become
more regular and steady, and what with the ad
vance in yarn and the fall in cotton, spinning is
no longer conducted at a loss. The position of
j the importer ha-; not been less unfortunate.—
With lit; exception of a small portion of the ear
ly imports, which were disposed of before the fall
, look place, and a few arrivals of the new crop,
j the entire import from the United States has ei
; thcr been sold, or is still lie d, at a loss probably
. not hss than fioin 4,3 to 4J5 per hale,
j Such has been the baneful effects of a system
‘ ; of paper money upon the mercantile and innnn-
I factoring interests of the country—but the evil
, Ins worked its own cure; the decline of credit
which has rendeied a large class of American sc
’ j entities valueless as a medium of exchange, has
i wrested fiorn the hanks of the Union the. power
of dictating the terms upon which the mannfac
| Hirers of Great Britain shall he supplied with an
I article of the first necessity. The dealings lie
tween the two countries must henceforth he car
ried on upon the sound commercial principle of
mutual benefit.
The time is auspicious for the change ; for by
the concurrent testimony of all parties the crop is
most abundant, being estimated by some as high
ns 1,750.000 bales, and by none lower than 1
650.000 bales. Frircs have been opened low on
the* oilier side, and it is greatly to be desired that
they should rule proportionately low on this. A
permanently cheap and plentiful supply of the
raw material is the one thing needful for Infusing
new life into every branch of the cotton manufac
ture; it will create new use, discover new mar
kets, and give mi impulse to the extension of this,
the most important of all the departments of na
! tional industry, to which no man cun prescribe
limits; and, if one of the conditions of these ad
vantages should boa low rate of profit to the mer
chant and to the manufacturer, they must look
’ for a compensation in the increase of their busi
ness. and, above all, in (be exemption from risks

Gen. Harrison.
The present canvass has brought to light
through (hecolumns es the National Intelligencer,
! the subjoined speech of General Harrison, deliv
-1 ered in the House of Representatives of the
United Slates, on the following Resolution,
which was submitted by him :
“ iiV.su/tv </, That a committee Ih» appointed
jointly with such committee as may be appointed
on the part of the Senate, to consider and report
what measures it may he proper to adopt to man
j ifest (he public respect for the memory of Gener
j ul Thaudki'k Kosciusko, formerly an officer in |
I the service of the United States, and the uniform
| and distinguished friend of Liberty and (he Rights
I of Man."
In this proposition the ruling passion of the j
| mover, his enthusiastic admiration of the priori- l
: pies of lie Revolution, and his zeal in behalf of!
■ liberty i.i general, and of the rights of man, are
: plainly developed.
But it is to the following speech, delivered on
1 that occasion, extract! d from the file of the Na
! tional Intelligencer, that we bespeak the purlieu*
• lar attention of our readers *
On presenting the above resolution, Gen. Har
rison addressed the House as follows:
••The public papers have announced an event
which is well calculated to excite the sympathy ;
every American bosom. Kosciusko, (he martyr
of Liberty, is no more! We are info, med that
he died at Soleurc, in France, some lime in Oc
tober last.
In tracing the events of this great man s life,
we find in him that consistency of comlui t which
is the to be admired as it is so rarely to l>e met
with. He was not at one time the friend of man
kind, and at another the instrument of their op
pression ; but be preserved throughout his whole
career those noble principles which distinguished
him in itscomrm ncemenl—which influenced him,
at an early period of his hfe, to leave his country
ami his friends, and in another hemisphere to fight
for the rights of humanity.
Kosciusko was horn and educated in Poland,
of a noble and distinguished family—u country
where the distinctions in society are perhaps car
ried to greater lengths than in any other. His
Creator, had, hi wever, endowed him with a soul
capable ot rising aliove (be narrow prejudices of
a caste, and breaking the shackles which a vicious
education bad imposed on bis mind.
When very young, lie was informed by the
voice of Fame that the standard of liberty had
been erected in America —that an insulted and
oppressed people had determined to be free, nr
perish in the attempt. His ardent and generous
mind caught, with enlhusiam, the holy flame, and
from that moment he became the devoir-d soldier
I of liberty.
j “ His rank in the American army afforded him
no opportunity greatly to distinguish himself.
| But ho was remarked throughout his service for
' all the qualities which adorn the human eharac
j ter. His heroic valor in the field could only In*
i equalled by his moderation and affability in the
walks of private life. He was idolized by the
soldiers for bis bravery, and beloved and respect
ed by the officers for the goodness of his heart,
and the great qualities of his mind.
*• Contributing greatly, by his exertions, to the
establishment of the independence of America,
he might have remained and shared the blessings
it dispensed, under the protection of a chief who
loved and honored him, and in the bosom of a
grateful and affectionate people.
“ Kosciusko had, however, other views. It is
not known that, until the period I am speaking
; of, he had formed any distinct idea ot what could
or indeed w hat ought to he done for his own.
i Burin the Revolutionary war he drank deeply of!
j the principles which pioduccd it. In hisconver- 1
sations with the intelligent men of our country, j
i he acquired new views of the science of govern- |
| menl and the rights of man. He had seen, too, j
i that, to in* free, it was only neressaiy that a na
. lion should will it; and,to be happy, it was only
! necessary that a nation should l»e free. And
| was it not possible to procure ihese blessings for
i Poland?—for Poland, the country of his birth,
■ which had u da m to Ml his efforts, to all his ser-
I vices 1 That unhappy nation groaned under a
j complication of evils which basscaicdy a paral
-1 lei in history. The mass of the people were the
| abject slaves of the nobles; the nobles torn into
factions, were alternately the instruments and the
i victims of their powerful and ambitious neigh
bors. By intrigue, corruption, and force, some of
its fairest provinces bad been separated from the
Republic, and the people, like beasts, transferred
to foreign despots, who were again watching for a
favorable moment for a second dismemberment.
To regenerate a jxople thus debased, to obtain
fora country thus circumstanced the blessings of
liberty and independence, was a work of as
| much difficulty as danger. But, to a mind like
j Kosciusko’s, the difficulty ami danger of an enter*
I prise served as stimulants to undertake it.
i •• The annals of these times gives us no detail
: ed account of the progress of Kosciusko in ac
j romplishing his great work, from the period of
his return from America t-» the adoption of the
New Constitution of Poland, in 1791. This I
interval, however, of apparent inaction, was most I
usefully employed to illumine the mental dark- j
ness which enveloped his country men. To slim- i
ulale the ignorant and higolted peasantry with
the hope of future emancipation—to teach a
proud but gallant n ability that true glory is only
to be found in the paths of duly and patriotism—
interests the most opposed, prejudices the most
stubborn, and habits the most inveterate, were re
conciled, dissipated, and broken, by the ascendan
cy of his virtues and example. The storm which
he had foreseen, and for which he hail been pre
paring, nt length burst upon Poland. A feeble
and unpopular Government bent before fury.
: and submitted itself to the Russian yoke of the
I invader. But (he nation disdained to follow its
j example ; in their extremity every rye was turri
| ed on the hero who had already fought their but- 1
j ties, the sage who bad enlightened them, and the j
i patriot who had sot the example of nersonal sa- j
■ orifices to accomplish the emancipation of the
j people.
1 •* Kosciusko was unanimously appointed gen- i
| erallissimo of Poland, with unlimited powers, im
j til the enemy should be driven from the country
' (In Ids virtue the nation reposed with the utmost
i • onfidene'; and it is some consolation to reflect,
1 amidst the general depravity of mankind, that two
[ instances, in the same age, have occurred, where
j powers of this kind were employed solely for the
1 purposes for which they were iriveti.
1 *• It is not my intention, sit, to follow the Pol
ish Chief throughout the career of victory which,
fora considerable lime, crowned Ids efforts, (rid
ded by his talents, and led by Ids valor, his undis
ciplined. ill-armed militia elmrgt d with effect the
veteran Russian and Prussian; the mailed cuiras
siers of the great Frederick, for the first lime,
broke and fled before the lighter ami more appro
priate cavalry of Poland. Hope filled lh* breasts
|of the patriots. After a long night, the dawn of
j an apparently glorious day broke upon Poland.
! But, to the discerning eye of Kosciusko, the light
! which it shed was of that sickly and portentous
; appearance, indicating a storm more dreadful
than that which he had resisted.
“ He prepared, to meet it with firmness, but !
wilh.menns entirely inadequate. To the advan- j
‘.ages ot numbers, of tactics, of discipline, and in- j
j exhaustible resources, the combined despots had 1
secured a faction in the heart of Poland. And. i
j if that country can boast of having produced its
Washington, it is disgraced aiso by giving birth
Ito n second Arnold. The day at letigth mine
which was to decide the late of a nation and hr
j ro. Heaven, for wise purposes, determined that
ilt should be the last of Polish liberty. It was do
, eidrd. indeed. hcfuicthe buttle commenced. The
traitor Poniski, who covered with a detachment
J the advance of the Polish army, abandoned his
! position to the enemy, and retreated,
i “ Kosciusko was astonished, but not dismayed.
The disposition of his army would hsve done
j honor to Hannibal. The sucre* ding conflict was
terrible. When the talents of the General could
no logger direct the mingled mass of combatants,
the arm of the warrior was brought to the aid of
bis soldiers. He performed prodigies of valor.
The fabled prowess of Ajax in defending the
Grecian ships was realized by the Polish hero.
Nor was he badly seconded by his troops. As
lung as his voice eou’d guide, or h is example fir#
their valor, they were irrerialihle. In thin unequal |
contest Kosciusko wait long •rt n.mul finally lo*l
(o their view.
4 Hope for a season hade the world farewell.
4 And Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell.*
He fell, covered with wound*, but alill survi
ved, A Comurck would hate pierced his breast,
when an oirircr interposed. ‘Suiter him l«» exe
cule his purpose,’ said (he bleeding hero; *1 urn
the devoted soldier of my country, and will not
survive its liberties.’ The name of Kosciusko
stun k to the heart of the Tartar, like that of
Marius upon the Cambrian w.inioi. The uplift
ed weapon dropped from his hand.
“Kosciusko whs conveyed to the dungeons of
Petemburgb, and. to the eternal disgrace of the
Empress Catharine, she made him the object of
i tier vengeance, when he could he no longer the
| object of her fears. Her more generous son rr
| stored him to liberty. The remainder of his life
has been spent in virtuous retirement. Whilst
; in this situation in France, an anecdote is related
I of him which strongly illustrates the command
| which his virtues and his services had obtained
over the minds of his countrymen.
‘•ln the late invasion of France, some Polish
j regiments, in the service of Russia, passed
through the village in which be lived. Home
pillaging of the inhabitants brought Kosciusko
from his cottage. ‘When I was a Polish sol
dier.’ said he, addressing the plunderers, *tbe pro
perty ofthe peaceful citizen was respected.*—
‘And who art thou,* said an officer, ‘who add res *-
■ eslus with this tone of authority?* ‘I am Kos
ciusko.' There was magic in the word. It ran
from corps to corps. The march was suspend
ed. They gathered around him, and gazed with
astonishment and awe upon the mighty ruin lie
presented. ‘Could if indeed he their hero,*
whose fame was identified with that of their coun
try ? A thousand interesting reflections hurst
upon their minds; they remembered his patriot
ism. his devotion to liberty, his triumphs, and his
glorious full. Their iron hearts were softened,
and the tear of sensibility triclked down their
weather-beaten faces. We can easily conceive,
sir what would lie the feelings of the hero him
self in such a scene. His great heart must have
heaved with emotion to find himself once more
surrounded by the companions of his glory ; and
that he would have been upon the point e-f say
ing to them,
‘Behold your General, come once more
‘To lead you on to laurelM victory,
‘To fame, to freedom.*
‘The delusion could have lasted hut foi i mo- I
merit. He was himself, alas! a miserable cri|>- i
pie; and, for them ! they were no longer the sol- (
<1 ers of liberty, hut the instruments of ambitious 1
tyranny. Overwhelmed w ith grief at the reflec- i
lion, he would nlire to his cottage, to mourn ■
afresh over the miseries of his country.
“Such was the man. sir, for whose memory I ,
ask from an American Congress a slight tribute
of respect. Not, sir. to perpetuate i.is fame, hut
our gratitude. His fame will last as long as lib
erty remains upon the earth ; as long as a votary
oilers incense upon her altar, the name of Kos
ciusko w ill be invoked. And if, I y the eoimaon
consent of the world, a temple shall he erected to
those who have rendered most service to man
kind—if the statue of our great countryman shall
occupy the place of the Most Worthy,* that of
Kosciusko will lie found by his side, and the
wreath of laurel will lie entwined with the palm
of virtue to adorn his brow.**
It does not at all detract from the merit of this
admirable eulogium on the character of the gal
lant and true-hearted Pole, that Gen. 11. did not
succeed in his motion. It appeared, when the
matter came to he examined, that the proposed
proceeding was against precedent, Congre.-s bav
in therefore, in the case of native officers of equal
rank to Kosciusko, declined adopting similar
measures, when proposed. Hut the Speech is on ,
record, and no one can deprive its author of the
merit of a production, of w hich any living orator
might well he proud.
