This narrative will commence with his departure from Milton, Albemarle county, Virginia, in 1809, arts close witn ms departure from Charleston, fer Philadelphia, in 1816.' This narrative wiil be followed by the principal part of j an oration, entitled.“'iVie Rostrum,” in which he has en deavored to illustrate the permanent public utility, and til display the intrinsic dignity and attractions of die s.pecies of oratory w hich he lias cultivated; its appropriate s sphere, in contradistinction to other and pre-established I applications of this noble art; its peculiar adaptation to the age and state of society in which we live; and to the spirit of a popular government; the subjects best fitted for the exercise and exhibition of this species of oratory, and the many useful and benificent purposes to which it may be made subservient. A series of shorter passages, from other oratious, pre viously delivered frormthe Rostrum, and a few specimens of Phiiosopiiicai Criticism, will occupy the last part Of ! the volnrite. i As this volume is committed to the press,.for the pur pose principally, of enabling the intelligent part of the- public to decide how far the writer is qualified to per form the duties of a teacher of oratory—to deliver Lee tures on Rhetoric, acilbinpanied by exercises in compo sition, criticism, and elocution) to successive classes of students, in the principal colleges established in the Unit ed States, it is proper that hb pretentions to prac tical knowledge ana skill in the exercise of orato ry, should be subjected to a severer test, than the super ficial fugitive anil equivocal impressions, on the minds of a miscellaneous audience, by declamations from the Ros- j trum. It is fair and just t|.at persons, from whom momentary, unanaiyzed and involuntary feeiing, or tile contagion of unreflecting sympathy, may have extorted a plaudit, un consciously, perhaps reluctantly, during the delivery of his'orations, should have an opportunity to retract or confirm that plaudit? to review calmly the sentiments and the style in winch they were expressed, on which they seemed, and were believed, perhaps untruly, to stamp ap probation, and to decide how far the'impulse of the mo ment was in unison with the dictates of deliberate reflection Tne writer feels that this appeal from the impulse of momentary feeling, to the dictates of mature reflection, from the auditor to the reader, from the Rostrum to the press, is not merely fair and proper. It is the course which prudence, honor, and integrity, the united dictates of personal and social duty, prescribe He weil knows, that the plaudit, which the candidate for oratorical honors, may draw even from an intelligent audience, is equivocal and ephemeral, unless it is ratified, I by the judgment of the intelligent reader, and that in ait age like this no species of literary empiricism, or impos ture, can escape, detection and ignominious exposure, when aii appeal b made from the Rostrum to the press. He makes this appeal therefore, under a distinct present timent, that the sentence pronounced upon hb preten tions will be the awardof justice, and he cannot antici- I pitte this award without solicitude and apprehension, sept 12 109 a [ $2° Brought to gaol, on the 31st Au- gustUjsjs, a negro inaii named B i r.Tr, says he belongs to JifTTOMl^ewb, of Haficocfc county, five feet eight inches lout 22 years of age, h^s a scar on his left jaw, J in iiblackcoataiul yeflowpantalooris.
