Would he move you to sadness V— they were ns plaintive ns the wail of the whip-poor-will nt tho approach of night.— Wouhl lie awaken feelings ot eheerluluess ? they were as ghnl and joyous ns the notes ot the mockinu bird, ns, from tho topmost twig of some lofty tree, she pours forth her melody i» greeting to the opening morn.— Wouhl he cheer and inspire his lnemls in a political contest?—they swelled out us shrill, ns clear nml us hmd ns the clarion's Idas! that calls tho embattled hosts to the conflict of arms. Wns it his purpose to arouse feelings of auger nnd range ?—they were as harsh and as fierce as tho yell of the wounded tigir. Would lie inspire feel ing of woe?—they wore ns majestically sol emn ns the voice of the rolling thunder.— His face was as expressive and ns much un der his control as ids voice; his talent for mimicry brought every thing within its range; lie was a comminute actor,nnd wouhl rentier you farce, comedy, or tragedy with all tho truth In Incus cflify;or, it it suited his purpose better, exngerntcd into broad aud ludicrous caricature, or dwurlcd iiito ri diculous aud distorted diniiuulivenoss.— With an intuitve perception ol character he measured men at s\ glance and weighed them ns in a balance, rarely failing to esti mate them at their true * value. With a power of observation which saw and a mem ory that retained every thing, ho |K>nscssed the rare power of drawing at pleasure upon his store, which seemed unlimited in vari ety and in cxhnustnblc iu <piautit v ; for he never was at a loss for an apt illustration to enforce and fix an argument, to give point to witticism, to add zest ton ludicrous conception, to give force to ridicule, to make sarcasm more Wing, or irony moru pun gent ami bitter. No man over possessed greater power to win and hold the nttention of nn audience* llis services were sought iu all tho Impor tant criminal cases within bis roach: the court-house was always crowded when lie spoke; while others were haranguing tho jury the people might amuse themselves in the court-yard, or adjourn to the neighbor ing bar-rooms, or go ofl’to attend to some little matter until the others were through ; but when he arose to address, the jury house was soon filled. It not (infrequently occur- ed that at the close of these cases the trials ran into ami sometimes through the night. As L'olquitt alwnys made the concluding ar gument on his side, it was frevucigjy very late, or perhaps it would be more strictly correct to say very early when ha commenc ed speaking on these occasions. visiting tho court-house at twelve or one o'clock upon one ot these occasions you would find groups of men standing in tho yard and sitting on tho steps, waiting to nearColquitt. Entering the houso yoti Bee Hudgo sitting “like patience on n monument smiling at grief;” befoto him a lawyer en gaged in the hardest work lhat ever fell to to the lot of man, making under a sense of duty, a speech to men who are evidently feeling no sort of interest in wlmt ho is say ing, but showing unmistakable signs of weariness nnd listiness. Some of the jury are yawning nnd stretching and rubbing their eyes to keep themselves awake from mere eourtesey. Home are occasionally nod ling, and perchance two or three nro act ually fast asleep. Around the room are stretched on the benches all others who, from choice or necessity have remained. At length the time arrives forColquitt to begin. The first sound of bis voice arouses the sleepers; tho houso begins to fill, and in five minutes the appearance ot the jury gives no evidence that they had been weary and sleepy a few minutes before, nor any indication that they would ever bo so again. They were no longer prisoner of the law for the performance of a neccessa- ry but irksome and wearisome duty; tlioy were the favored guests at a • rich banquet. Words have no power to convey an idea at all adproaching the reality of his powers as an advocate. No powers of dcscrintion would succeed iu producing more than n faint and far-off conception of ono ot those great jury speeches, which, Colquitt him self could never conceive but umlor the in spiring influences of the occasion, nor pro duce after the inspiration of the hour had passed away. Noueot these speeches have ever been reported, because they could not be. The phonogrnpluT who could have recorded his words mnst.havc bad the ability to do it blindfolded, tor it was impossible to kecii the eyes off him while he was speaking.— And even if be bad the words they would not bo the speech. A painting of a thunder storm, without.tho splash ot the falling rain tho rush andf moan and bowlings of Itlie contending winds, the sudden leap, the viv- ed flash, and the lurid glare of the lightning, the starling buret and the distant roll of the muttering thunder, would convey to ono who bad never witnessed it about as correct itn,i<fca off bp reality as would the wordB of one of Colquitt’s great jury speechos with out tne sounds, the intonations, and modnla virtions. llis words wen* of the simplest nml most common sort ; his illustrations drawn from I lie most l’amilar things , In* dis robed the great, principles of the law of nil mystoiy ; dealt with tliem as things of plain common-sense, made for and applicable to tlie overd.iv afiairs of life, and brought ihem within the comprehension of the eoiiinioiiest uudorKlaudiug. llis speeches wen* unique iu their structure. They exhibited nothing of that order ami urrangemei:! established by rule, to which ordinary men are compelled to resort. He took no notes either of the testimony or the arguments ; yet it was never known t-lml any important point of either escn|K*d him. Every t liing connected with tin* ease npj o ir- ed to be spread out bodily and visibly be fore him, and lie picked tip one pice here and another there, as he found In* could work them in to most advantage, and the result pro veil that he placed them where they contributed most to the strength of the structure. He never permitted the minds of his hearers to become fatigued. If in the dis cussion ol the law or tho testimony lie dis covered iu the jury symloms of'weariness lie took care to fix some strong point upon their minds, and them he left his work and led them oil*to play ; but neither lienor his boards ever forgot where they left off. IIo frequently found it necessary to mako these digression* ; but his digressions whero the gauibolsofa whale, aud when he returned to his subject lie grappled it with tho strength ol a lion. When he closed hla speech every body felt that it was a finiched word. It is rarely that an argumonl is made upon any subject but that somebody thinks he could have made some part of ib -Men sometimes perhaps thought r.wt of Colquitt’s speech might Monger, that some pj mvc been omitted without injury, Tmt never that he had omitted any thing that might have been said with advantage.
