“Lofty pile? of echoing thunder,
Filling all the iky Heaven under,’ c.
In the Mighty Dead, in my Vo! a me, entitled
Memor&lia,’ may be feund the following lines
“The thunder of hi? song
Reverberates through aft high Heaven afar,
Sprinkling his genius, as it (Touts along,
la sweet, melodious rath, as if some star
Had scattered down itsspheHd song In Igftf,
Dissolving gloriously, the gtoonv *f ol#U. r
Also the following:
“As when some mighty Crane,
With out stretched wings, scourging some thunder-cloud,
When charriotted, by Tempests from the malne,
Upborne by Whirlwinds,’’ Ac.
In the ‘Dying Swan’ are these lines :
“Tl.s open mouths of motmtaias—the dim Caves —
Kchsed l,*r music with reverhsrani thunder,” he.
In Hiawatha is the following line:
“Feeds among the reeds and rushes.”
In my ‘Vigil in Aiden’ may be found the follow
ing line:
“In among the reeds of jasper.”
Longfellow in his Hiawatha, aay9 :
“All the wild fowl sang them to him.”
In mr Poem, I say:
“Where the Willow wept above her,
A white Swan, all heavenly gifted,
Came her dying song to pour I
To AviUiou’s happy Valley,
Where the hreeses ever dally,” Ac.
Io a Poem called ‘lsadore,’ I say r.
Lay a-lde thy load of sorrow,
Borne so long for Isadora f
Hi grim, pierced by Death’s cold arrow,
Ihou shalt see thy love to-morrow,
Up in Heaven forever more!
Lay aside thy load of sorrow—
Come to Heaven to Isadore !
Here, w see,, is the very kind of ‘repetition’
which the Critic iu the ‘London Examiner says
is so ‘original and effective’ in Longfellow’s Hia
watha.
In another Poem, entited ‘Celnta,’ I say :
la the rushes newly nested, Ac.|
Longfellow, in his Hiawatha, says:
“Scarcely can the ear distinguish
Whether they were sang or spoken,” Ac.
In a Poem entitled ‘Birth of the New Lot*,.’ to
b found in my Volume entitled ‘Virginalia,’ is
flie following line:
When you talked, K was like singing, Ac.
In Hiawatha, Longfellow says:
“Ever sighing, ever singing,” Ac.
In Lord L’thar s Lament lor Ella,, in niy ‘Mein
oralia, I say:
“Brer sighing, ever singing,” As.
Longfellow says :
“Grew up like the prairie lilies,
Grew a tall and slender maiden,” Ac,
“Never more would lightlji follow,” Ac.
I say, in my ‘Vigil in Aiden r
Never more to feel deserted,
Never more to be death-parted, Ae.
I quote these lines to show that the one style
is modeled precisely after the other. Hut there
is no such thing in Kalewala, or any other Poem
in the world.
“Full of hope and yet of heartbreak,
Full of all the tender pathos,” Ac.
I Pay, iu ‘Lord Uthar’s Lament for Elia’:
“Like young Grief when Joy is present,”Ac.
In the Vigil in Aiden :
‘Such as heavenly Joy might borrow
From her saintly sister, Sorrow,’ Ac.l
Tharc, they liT# in Joyful sadness, Ac.
Longfellow says:
“Saw two eyes look from the thicket.
Saw two nostril? point to windward,” Ac.
In my Vigil in Aiden, I say :
“Clothed the Earth with her uprightness.
Clothed she now her soul with brightness,” Ae.
Longfellow says:
“With his shining robe? about him,” Ac.
I eay :
Like the mocn in her own splendor,
Light-invested, now bestowing, Ac.
Longfellow ays:
“From the Vale of TowaSentha,” Ac.
I say iu my Lord Uttier’s Lament for Eila :
From the Vale of CuacovMa,
Through the Bowers of BoscobeUa,
Came to meet me Angel Ella,
In the days of Long Ago.
These lines are repeated in my Poem, just as he
does his Indian names in Hiawatha—precisely.
There is not even the shadow of a difference.
In Hiawatha, he says :
Downward through the evening twilight
Fell the beautiful Nakomls, Ac.
Seet a Star falls! said.the Peoplej
In my Vigil in Aiden, I say :
In the twilight of the even,
Suddenly there came from Heaven,
Dressed In saintly while, Ae.
This sweet Angel-Moon so lender.
Seeing now the long departed,
Quickly from the grave he started.
Crying out, now joyful hearted,
God of Heaven ! is this Lenore*
Set I behold the heavenly Vision,
From the flowery Fields Elyslan, Ae.
Longfellow says:
And Nakomls warned her often,
Saying oft. and oft repeating,
Oh ! beware of Mudjeekeewls,
Listen not, to what he tells yon,
Lie not down upon the meadow,
Stoop not down among the lilies, Ac.
This is precisely just such advice as the Angel-
Moon, in rny Poem, gives to Polition—as may
be seen by the following lines :
Then she said to him, Polition!
Oh! be happy T entreat thee !
I will come again to meet thee—
Sister Angels, too. shall greet the* ! As.
Thers her lovely form reposes
On hsr bed of new-blown roses, As.
Longfellow says:
“In her anguish died deserted,” Ae.
I say i
By the desert-world deserted, Ae.
He says:
“And his heart within him flattered,” Ae.
I say :
When her pearly besom pouting, Ae.
He says:
To the ford across the river,
There he waited till the deer came, Ae.
I pay:
Then beside the silent river,
Where he wandered still forever, Ae.
He says :
“Ever thicker, thicker, thicker •
Ever deeper, deeper,” Ac.
I say in my Rail Road Song :
With,a clltta. clatia. elatta ;
And a dinky, clankey, clankey, Ae.
He says:
“Shuddered! as they* looked upon her.
Shuddered as the word* they uttered,” Ar,
in precisely the same rhythm :
Singing, shouting, In descendhig—
Singing of the joys unending, Ac.
He says:
“Soon your footsteps I shall follow
To the Inlands of the Blessed,
To the Kingdom of Ponemah,
To the Land of the Hereafter.”
I say :
Soon thy blessed star-like spirit
Shall the joys of Heaven inherit,
In the Bright Isles of the Morning,
In the flowery Fields Bi.rslao—
Far up in the sky undying.
He says:
And tlie evening sun descending;
Set the clouds on Art with redness, Ac.
. I say:
Now like Paradise Islands gleaming
In the far-off ether beaming,-
Fioods of glory on them-streaming, Ac.
He says:
Like the New Moon, slcwty, slowly
Sinking iu the purple distance, Ac.
I say:
Charlot-bornc, with gentle motion,
Like (he young Moon to the Ocean,
Thus she came to him descending,
Holy Angels her attending,
Binging of the joys unending, Ac.
Then from earth, so long benighted,
Glorlfled, redeemed, requited.
In her Chariot, Angel-lighted,
Entered into Heavenly Aiden,

I say, in my Poem to Allegra Florence in Hea
ven :
Like the young Moon half unclouded,
On the first night of her birth ;
And as down she sinks when westing, Ac.
Then, in another Poem, entitled The New Moon,
to be found in my Virginalia, I say:
Like suum> sweet, heavenly, dying IlymD,
Pausing in going down—
She linger? on the horiron’s rim
A moment—now is gone !
There is nothing in Kalewala like this—no any
1 thing else that I have quoted—its resemblance
I to Hiawatha being only presumptive—not appa
! rent.
Nakomls (Wttoroagb the “evening twilight”
“Oi the ISu’today the Meadow.”
So did the spirit of the Angel-moon descond
from Heaven, to visit Polition from the Asphodel ian
Meadows. Hiawatha was brought up to man’s
estate on ihe bank of a river. So did Polition
ever wander up and down beside the silent river,
looking for the spirit of tlae Angel-Moon.
While he ‘lay on his couch ofleaves gazing with
half-open eyelids on the gleaming of the water
and the splendor of the sunset, he saw a youth
approaching through the purple twilight,
dressed in garments of green and yellow, with
soft and golden hair, and green plumes waving
over his forehead.” I quote this from the Critic
of the ‘Tribune,’ to show with what minuteness
he analyses the evidence which is to liantr his
friend—the only pity being that he is not hung
on the same gallows.
In my Poem, I speak not only of the purple
twilight of the evening, but also of the amethys
tine morning. But read the following from At
lanta :
Beneath an aged oak, whose h undr or! arms
Were lifted up, as in mute prayer to God,
Silvered with many hundred year*, whose locks,
Os argent moss, hung waving to the ground.
Fringing the margin of that inland S .a,
Jeweled with myriad multicolored Shells,
Prone on the silver sand, alone, the last
Os all his tribe, the Chief, Lamorah sat.
Beside him lay his Bow upon the ground;
Upon his back the well-stored Quiver hung;
His great Herculean form was clad In skins
Fantastically fringed with down of Swans,
And ornamented with the rarest beads;
IBs feet wero sandaled with red moccasins;
His Wampum -twit was fasten-*.! round his waist;
An Bngie-pliime crested his head , which moved aloft, Ac.
Then cam* young Julian to the great old Chief,
Drest in the garb that young Yanassa wore, Ae.
Longfellow says:
“There he waited til] the deer came,
Tlil he saw two antlers lighted,
Saw two eyes look from the thicket.
Saw two nostrils point to windward. Ac.
Now compare the above with the following
from my Atlanta :
Beside her stood her dappled Fawn, whose head,
Ofdelicate shape, was lighted high above
Its shoulder now in princely pride, Ac.
While, with its golden rparkiing eyes, Ac.
Its trumpet nostrils lifted h’gh iu air,
Clear as the Hollyhock when first in bloom,
Seemed scenting odors from the Isles of Balm.
Hiawatha wrestle ! with Man lamin in “the glo
ry o. the sunset, till the darkness fell around them”
—triumphantly. So does Polition—the Man of
Sorrow—with foul Lucifer—triumphantly. But
the noblest idea in the whole Poem, is, where
Longfellow says that
*‘A hundred Suns seemed looking
At the combat of the wrestlers,” Ac.
But I say in my Poem, cntled The Roll of Fame,
“In the presence of ten thousand Gods.” In A Vi
sion of the Night, in Virginalia, Isay,
“More glorious than the golden skies
Os a Uiousand setting suns.
In my Poem entitled Where Liberty was Born,
I say :
A Constellation of great suns, Ac.
It was in the sunset that they wrestled.
Longfellow says that Hiawatha, after his return
home on finding his wife was dead,
“Uttered each a cry of anguish,
Tint the forest moaned and shuddered,
That the very stars in Heaven,
Shook and trembled with his anguish !”
I say, in my Vigil in Aiden:
licit Itself grew broken-hearted.
Wailed aloud for the departed f
Lofty piles of echoing thunder.
Filling >n the sky Heaven under.
Drowning ail the star* with wonder,
Leaving him In desolation 1
Longfellow makes Hiawatha say of his wife
Minehaha:
“All myheart Is buried with you.”
I say, in my Poem:
When she died,
The world died with her!—all beside f
I went into the grave with iter I
Now, what will the Editcr of the Tribune say
to this? What will that old Buzzard, missnamed
The New York Review, say to this? What will
the Editor of Putnam say to this? What will
his Critic—the gentleman who had his last
“Thanksgiving Dinner spoiled” 5y anew Apician
morsel, called Spanish Trochaic—say to this?—
What will all the other Succotash-eating thieves
of the Land of Thanksgiving say to this? Do
they not owe me everlasting thanks fur thus en
lightening their benighted minds on the enehant
ing topics of literary larceny? Verily, I think
they do.
But there is no such imagery, or rhythm r to be
found in Kalewala, as I have just quoted. Not
only is the rhythm of Hiawatha, precisely the
same as niv Poem—the eaesural pauses being va
ried. to occupy the very same places in the verse
that mine do—but the imagery is all the same.—
\ et the profound Critic of the Tribune says, “Mr.
Longfellow ha3 displayed no common skill in ex
tracting the elements of Poetry from the materi
als furnished by the fragmentary echoes of remote
savage Legends.’ 4
Now what is to become of American Literature
at this rate?—for such a Zoilus as this to preside
over the Dynasty of Intellect? With no better
an Umpire than li is, the deposited wifi all be
stolen from the golden Coffers of Apollo, and the
Princes of Parmassns left bankrupt—for I perceive
that this Mockingbird is going to Glory with
my plumage on Ins back. But as every tree is
known by its own fruit—a crab-apple only :>e*r
ing crabs—he will not be allowed to grow long
in Paradise—none but Eden-tives adorning the
\ ales of Heaven.
But this is not all. Pblitiou ascends to Heaven,
in company with the Angel-Moon, inn Chariot.>f
spiritual fire, shaped like the New Mooti.
Chariot-borne with gentlemotion,
Like the you r.g Moon ta the ocean, Ac.
So does Hiawatha.
“Like the now moon, slowly, slowly-
Sinking in the purple distance,” Ae.
But Wainamoinen sails away on the ocean in a
“copper-bound boat/’ while the people stand
watching him from the shore.
Biu a similarity in the departure of the two
boats, would not ixnwtitute a plagiarism, provided
the Art by which this departure was i!!u<trafe<t.
was not copied, the one from the other. In the
relation which has been presumed to subsist be
tween Hiawatha's depotute and that of Waina
ufbincn, there is none.

But this does :iot s*yy, the Editor of tho Cri
terion supposes, that he wan <*iugh t up into the
clouds between “th* lowest and the
‘highest land-streak,” because h is not'now—
nor iB it possible for him to be between them— ,
being only on the ocean sailing towards the dis- I
tant horizon. What the Poet means, is that he
was on the ocean between the far distant horizon
and tlie land from which the People were gazing
—tlie word “haften”signifying that he appeared,
from the distance, to pause, or hang, on the curve
of the ocean between tlie shore and the horizon,
which is, actually, the perspective of a boat, or
ship, sailing at a distance on the Sea from the
shore.
But the passages, the “fiery sunset,” like the
new moon, slowly, slowly,”
“To the Islands of the Blessed,
To the Kingdom of Penemah,
To th* Land of the Hereafter,
which characterize the departure of Polition witli
tlie Angel-Moon, in my Poem, are all wanting.
I could point out many other palpable similari
ties, not only between the rhythm, hut the ideali
ty, of Hiawatha and my Poems; but these must
suffice- for the present.
It is no pleasant task for me to have to write
this about a man of such culture as Prof.
Longfellow. But my Jewels have been stolen.—
I have found them locked up by Ticknor’s Key,
in his own Casket, on Washington Street, in Bos
ton. I must have them back, or I shall complain
to the Court of the Muses. Beware, then, of the
Judgment of Apollo I
But Professor Longfellow deserves immortality
— if any man in the world ever did—for the con
summate Art with which ho steals—rivaling even
the skill of the celebrated lock-picker—Hobbs.—
I trust the boon will not be denied him.
But what has become of the Washington City
Epistolarian who onro ini ted such supreme non
sense for the New York Tribune touching tire
majority of the New England Poets over those of
the South—measuring the quality by the quanti
ty—betraying, with a jocose gusto, ridiculously
juvenile, that he had but recently crossed Goose
Creek on the Pons Ass-noruin ? Where is he. I
say ? What an awful falling down of his under
jaw—(lengthening his farcical countenance into
latitudinal trajedy—)\vi 1 1 darken his already neb

Charge of Seduction Against A Bishop
i —The Cincinnati Sun of Saturday says, that
for some time past charges of Seduction have
been under investigation against Bishop Ham- j
Hu of that district. The victim is said to have !
been Miss Angelina Brooks, since deceased, who
held a high position in Cincinnati society. The
i Sun says that this affair promises to grow into
open rupture between that portion of the church
who believe the Bishop innocent, and those who
support Rev. Mr. Harlan who prefers the char
; ges.

A Move in the Right Direction.
The “Chronicle A Sentinel” having given no
; tice of its “determination to charge, in future, for
’ all Marriage and Death notices, and all matters of
: a personal nature or for the accomplishment ofpri
| vote ends,” the Griffin American Union and sev
! eral other Presses of the State endorse the move
j ment as one absolutely necessary to protect the
1 Press from an unmitigated nuisance! The Union
1 saysr
| “This is right The press generally throughout
j tin* State has cheapened the estimate of its servi
, ocs by a too liberal concession to the demands for
, gratuitous work. The subscriber to a paper gets
| an equivalent for his money in the paper itself,
i and advertisers are entitled to just what they con
; tract for and no more. It is both unreasonable
1 and unjust to claim the use of newspaper columns
lor gratuitous pulls and notices because you hap
pen to be a subscriber or advertiser. The editor,
at his option, will exert an extra influence in be
i half of those who are liberal in their patronage
j but no one has a right to services for which lie
does not pay. It has become too much the fitsh
-1 ion to give five dollars worth of puff” for one d<jl
! Jar’s worth of patronage. We hope the Chronicle
A Sentinel s rule will be generally adopted.”
A Doggerytype ! —The “Hards” of New York,
with Dickinson, at their head, are thus sketched
to the life, by a Georgia cotemporary—the •Re
publican” c.f Wilkes, we believe.
‘‘As to Mr. Dickinson, he seems to be a man
i who would rather drown than bo pulledout of the
| water in any other than the most otliodox deino
-1 era fie manner. Ue ami his party want no votes
i for him except tlie real genuine Hard Shell—lie
would not be President if elected by any other.—
, His party in Congress are made of the same stuff
; —a set of political Pharisees, standing aloof from
all others, and thanking God they are not like
other men, or even as these (American > publicans,
j they gave “tithes of all they possessed to carry
j the elections, hut in vain, and now they stand a
pitiful minority, rejecting the aid of all oilier* in j
| setting the wheels of the government in motion !
and refusing to aid all others. They are account- !
able for the melancholy fact that all the conserva- !
! tive men of the country are not now united in one
j great party agaiust the destructives of all sections
i of the Union.”
• ‘
Itow lie was Elected.—The lion. A. 11. Stephen*
in his place, in the House, made a speech, defining bis
position, and among other things he guve utterance to
the following boast. Said he:
j “The genlleman has said that the American party in
j the House bad becu elected main the principles of it,at
party paramount to all others, lie did not know and
could not my anything against that; but so far as his
own election was concerned, he would say that ho had
been elected upon the principle of maintaining the Ci<* !
etit at Mu of the. United State* in “all its length, breadth,
and depth, every clause and every section, as paramount
to all other questions.”
We had an idea that Mr. Stephens was elected on the
Anti-“dark lantern” and Democratic Me Whig sensation!
Certain are we, tb it his opponents in the Bth I)istric t
did not oppose him on the grounds mentioned bv him.
In fact, we know of no party in Georgia, whot/o not go
for the maintenance of the Constitution of the United
States, unless it be the Disunion party of ]Bou frag
mentary portion of which may yet be scattered through
out the State. All gammon, Mr. Stephens, to set
yourself up as the defender, par excrUence, of the Conaft* !
tntion of the Uniou. when there was no body in the held j
to assail that instrument!
Exactly. —The Wilkes Republican, (American) |
gives expression to the following independent j
sentiments, touching the late American Conven
tion :
“We would have been bettter pleased with the
proceedings of the American Convention, if, in
stead of its set of resolutions, the Convention had
adopted a single and simple resolution, declaring
the adherence of the American party of Georgia j
to the Philadelphia platform, and repudiating all ‘
parties and all men who did not take that platform, j
and all parts of it for their political creed. The
multiplication of resolutions anti platforms only j
binds to “darken counsel by the multitude of,
words, ’ and smacks too much of Democracy, ,
which being anti some things in some places, anti
in favor of the same things in other places, at eve
ry convention or village caucus is in a manner
compelled to adopt various and new platforms to
gammon gumps with.”
The Presidency. —The American State Conn- j
eil of Virginia have nominated Hon. John M. Bolts ‘
for the Presidency. The Richmond Whig de
nounces it as a misrepresentation of the sentiments
of the American party iu that State.”— Exchange.
We should hope that the ‘ Richmond Whig” is
right in its assertion that tlie nomination of Botts
is a misrepresentation of the sentiments of the
American Party of Virginia. The State Counci
must have been composed of a set of Jackasses,
seriously to place bucli a man as Botts in nomina- !
tion for the Presidency. If it is not a joke —a I
burlesque upon Gov. Wise’s pretensions in the )
same direction^. —and is persisted in, the American j
Party may yet have tlie epitaph written upon its
tomb :—“died of th* botts, anno domini, 1856.” j
Hale and vigorous as ia young Samuel, he cannot
survive an attack of the Botts! Ob, King and |
Gorjntry! what a disease of which to die !’ .
