“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.

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. T. C.

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 j tilous whereabouts, when he comes to know that nothing has been doth’ for the last sixty years for , the true glory of the Government, that has not emanated from the South—having given birth to four decades of Presidents, of forty years ; where as, the Nortli can only tinmber one aod a ludf— fourteen years.

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.

The London Times has despatches from stating that Count Buol had sent the terms of peace to Gortschakoff. i The Allies demand a strip of territory in Bessa j rabia, lying on the Danube, to secure the free nav- I igation of that river.

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!
