From the Young Duke.
ORATORY AND SPEAKING.
Perhaps although we use the teim, we
oever had oratory in England. There is
.111 essential difference her ween oratory
and debating. Oratory seems tin accom
plishment confined to the ancients, unless
die French preachers may put in their
claim, sirttl some of die Irish lawyers. Mr.
Shiel’s speech in Kent rtmk a fiufe Oration,
and the boobies who taunted him for hav
ing got it by rrite were not a'Varri that in
doing so lie oiily wisely followed the ex
ample of PericleS, Demosthenes, Lysias,
Isorcates, llorteiisius, Cicero, Catsur, and
every great orator of antiquity. Oratoiy
is essentially the accomplishment of anti
quity ; it was their most efficient mode of
communicating thought} it was their sub
stitute for printing.
1 like a good debate ; and when a strip
ling, used often to he stilled in the galiery
or enjoy the easier privilege of a meet ler’s
sen. 1 like, 1 say, a good debate, atld
have no objection to a due mixture of
bores, which are a relief. I remember
none of the giants of former days; but 1
have heard Canning. He was a consum
mate rhetorician; but there seemed to me
a dash of commonplace in all that he said,
and frequent indications of the absonce of
tn original mind. To the last he never
got clear of good God sir 1” and all
the other hackneyed ejaculations of his
youthful debating clubs. The most com
manding speaker that I ever listened to is,
1 think, Sir Francis Rurdett. I never
heal'd him in the house, —but at an elec
tion. He was full of music, grace and dig
nity, even amid all the Vulgar tumult ; and
unlike all ntob orators, raised the taste ot'
the populace to him, instead of lowering
his own to theirs. His colleague, Mr.
liobhouse, seemed to me ill qualified for
a demagogue though bespoke with pow
er. He is father too elaborate, and a little
heavy, but fluent, and never weak. Ills
thoughtful and highly cultivated mind
maintains hint under all circumstances;
afld bis breeding never deserts him.—
j Sound sense comes recommended from
• iiis lips by the language of a scholar and the
! uibanitv of a gentleman.
Mr. Brougham tit present ragns pare*
mount in the house of Commons. I think
the lawyer has spoiled the statesman. —
He is said to have very great power* of
sarcasm. From what l have observed
there I should think very little ones would
I he quite sufficient. Many a sneer withers
In those walls which tvould scarcely, I think.
Might a current bush out of them j and 1
have seen the house convulsed with raillery
which, in other society, Would infallibly
settle the rallier to be a bore beyond all
tolerance. Even alt idiot Can raise a
siinle. They ate so good Matured, or find
it so dull. Mr. Canning’s beidindge was
the most successful, though 1 confess I
invd listened to few tilings more calcula
ted to make a min gloomy. Hut the
House always ran riot, taking every tiling
for granted, and cracked their universal
sides before he opened his mouth, The
fault of Mr. Brougham is, that ltd holds
no intellect at present in great dread, and
consequently, allows himself on all occii*
sions to run wild. Few men hazard more
uitphilosophical observations; but lie is
safe, because there is no one to notice
i them. On all great occasions Mi*. Broug
ham lias cdttie up to the mark,-‘-an iufitl
lible test of a man of genius.
I hear that Mr. Bahington Mi ian ley is
to be returned. It he speak ball as well
as he Writes, the House will be m fashion
again. I fear that he Is one of those wiio
like the individual whom lie lias most stu
died, “ will give up to party what was
meant for mankind.”
At any rate, he must get rid of Ills rapid
ity. He writes now on all subjects, as if lie
certainly intended to be a renegade, & was
determined to make tile contrast complete.
Mr. Pee! is the model of a minister,
anti improves as a speaker } though like
most of the rest he is fluent without the
feast style. He should not get so often
in a passion cither, or if he do, should not
get out of one so easily. His sweet apol
ogies are cloying.— His candour—he will
do well to gel rid of that. lie can make
a present of it to Mr. Iluskisson.
Mr. Iluskisson is a memorable instance
of the value of’ knowledge, which maintains
a man under nil circumstances.and all dis
advantages, and will 1 am not sure now,
if I were king,—which, thank God ! 1
am not, because l should then be preven
ted from being the most dutiful of sub
jects which, thank God ! I am, —I am not
sure, I say, if I were his most gracious
majesty and the present cabinet should nut
go on, 1 am not sure that I should not send
for Mr. Iluskisson.
“ Iluskisson !” 1 should say,” the duke
[Wellington] can whip it on no longer.—
If you like to try you may. But, hark ye!
no more coalitions, and no more explana
tions. I have no idea of the first estate of
the realm having again t» do the duty Os
the two others. If you have a party strong
enough, you shall have a fair trial. Y'ou
need not speak at p.csem. Luncheon is
in the next room. When you have taken a
bottle of hock, we shall get a little truth
out of you.’’
In the lords ( adirtire the duke. The
readiness with which he has adopted the
air of the debater shows the man of genius.
There is a gruff, husky sort of downright
Montniguisli nairrt about him, which is
tpi tint, utidu’ul and tdU. Yea plainly
perceive that he is dcierniined to boa
civilian ; artd he is as offended if Voii drop
a hint that he occasionally wears a uni
form, as a servant on a holiday if you
nieution the word livcrl}.
Lord Grey speaks with feeling, arid is
better to bear titan to read, though ever
strong and Impressive. Lord Holland’s
speeches are like a rcfuccimento of all
the suppressed passages in Clarendon, and
the notes in the new edition ot Bishop
Bui net’s Memoirs : but taSte throw* a del
icate hue over tho curious medley, aud
the candour of a philosophic mind shows,
that in file library of Holland House he
can sometimes cease to be a partisan.
Lord GodefitH Speaks too often anti
not sufficiently to the purpose ; Hut be is
a min of talents. These Canning!tes
sadly want a leader, and are scattered a
bdut in a vrtry lodse style indeed. 1 think
i rtiust come dvet. It would take a month
though i should think td knock up the
present ridministratidri, provided it were
February, and not leap year. But then
I must be consistent, arid not compromise
nty principles, which will never do in Eng
land—more than once a year. Let me
see what are they ? Am Ia whig ora
tory l I forget. As for tile tdries, I ad
mire antiquity, particularly a ruin ; even
the relics of the temple of intolerance
have a charm. 1 think lama tdry.—
But then the whig* give such good din
ners and ate the niost’airiusing ; I think
lam a whig. But then the toriris are so
moral, and morality is nty forte ; I must
he a torv. But the wliigs dress so much
better; and an ill dressed party like
an ill dressed man, must be wrong.—
Yes I lam a decided whig. And y et—
I fuel like Garrick between tragedy anti
comedy. I think I will be a whig and
ton alternate nights, and then both Will
be pleased ; or I Itnvu no objection, ac
cording to the fasliioii of the day, to take
a place under a lory ministry, piovided 1
may vote against them.
One thing is quite clear,—that a man
may speak very well iu lite House of
Common*, and fail very completely in
the House of Lords. There are two dis
tinct styles requisite : 1 intend, in the
course of inv career, to give, if 1 have
time, a specimen of both. In the lower
House, Don Juan may perhaps be our
model; in the upper House Paradise Lost.
POLAR SEAS.
An attempt of a tew Dutchmen to es
tablish a colony on the shores ot the
polar seas is thus related in the Edinburgh
Cabinet Libraty.
In 16.33 the Dutch planned a settle
ment on tbe Northern count of Spbzbergen
when seven sailors volunteered for this ar
duous undertaking. On the 30tlt of Au
gust tlie fleet left them in North Bay,
where they not only undertook to live du
ring th • winter, but to provide themselves
with fresh provisions. Tiiev visited alt
the surrounding shores, took their rein-deer
and a number of sea-swallows, collecting
also a great quantity of a species of water
cress. Their great ambition was to Catch
a while ; but though tantalized by tile sight
of tit inv, all (heir attempts failed. Even
one found dead and fresh on tlie margin of
the sea was floated out by the tide before
they could secure it.
It was on the 3d October that the ex
treme could began to be felt, accdmpan
ied by numerous !l gins of buds passing
to the northward. On the 13th one of
the casks of beer was frozen three inches
thick. The winterers were obliged to
break the ice in pieces, and thaw it before
the fire, when it made a very unpalatable
liquor. On the 15th, having ascended
one of tlie neighbouring mountains, they
could only see a small portion ol the soil’s
disk on tlie verge of the horizon, and in
a few days it entirely disappeared ; there
was still a faint twilight of eight hours,
which was soon reduced to five, and be
came every day shorter and shorter. In
November the cold increased to the ut
most pitch ; they could not sleep in their
beds, but were obliged either to crouch ri
ver tlie fire, or run lull speed through the
hut, to keep up the vital energy. Aileagth
they ranged all their couches round the
fire place and a stove, yet 4-i| found it
necessary to lay themselves down between
the stove ar.d the fire, holding their feet
to the very embers. On tlie 20th De
cember they saw a very bright illumina
tion, resembling Aurora Borealis, ever the
southern part of tne sky.—They could not
however, believe it to be tlie real Aurora,
which they afterwards saw of a peculiar
splendoi, in its proper place. Night and
winter continued in their utmost intensity
till the 22d January, whfisi they again en
joyed a t wilight ot six hour* ; at mid-day
of the 26th, there was no longer a star to
he seen, but it was the 22d February ere.
from tlie mountain top, they could descry
any portion of the suu’s disk. Throughout
the whole period they had dreadful con
tests to maintain with the I’olar bears.
On the 3d Match one ot these animals
had received two bails in his throat which
ho was endeavouring to pluck out with his
paws, when tho whole seven sailors rushed
on him with their lance*. The hear dash
ed at one of them, tore the lanre lioin his
hand, and threw hurt on the ground ; hut
as the animal was about to devour his vic
tim, another sailor struck and obliged him
to quit his hold; afterwards liowever,
though pursued l>v all sigven, he plunged
into the *oa and escaped.
Thus seven persons passed through this
hard winter without any seveie attack of
•curvy ; and on the 27d* May, tlmy were
Vo lx. 11.—YO. I •
nvei joyed By the view of a boat, which
conveyed there to a neighbouring bay,
where '.evert l) it’ll ships ii nt landed for
the fishery. The active l;le led by these
seamen was apparently the chief c ms'' by
which thrift'lieul h tv is so well preserved.

LETTER TO MR. RUSH.
Boston, 21st May, IS3I.
lion. Rich\r» Rush—
Sir —The Convention of Delegates
front the various parts of this Common
weal'll, lately assembled in this city to a
dopt such measures as might conduce to
the suppression or counteraction o t Free
masonry, h ive deputed tiie undersigned,
as their organs, to express to you the high
sense entertained by themselves and by
the numerous class of their fellow-citi
zens, whom they represented in that body,
of your powerful aud eloquent exposition
iti your ftic iit letter, of the same porteti
tirtosevil. Tlie infatuation of a numer
ous body of men in a lYee country and in
an enlightened state of Society, which
could tramplrt upon the rights of human
ity ami silence the voice ol reason and the
suggestions df conscitinbe, so far as to
shed the blood Os its victim, is by your
pen depicted in colors so glowing, as to
impress conviction upon every inind.
It must inspire our fellow-citizens
through the Union, with increasing confi
dence in the ultimate Success .as well as
in the rectitude of their cause, when thev
find themselves sustained by the sagacity,
learning, and experience of the most cm*
incut statesmen and scholars of our coun
try. If the Press lias been bribed or aw
ed into silence, and lias sttfiered the com
munity to slumber in delusive security
with an enemy lurking among them and
clandestinely seizing the strong holds of
their liberty; it is to the wisdom, and vir
tue, and eloquence of those, whose coun
sels have, hitherto always been beard with
deference and followed with success, that
the people must look to enlighten and to
guide them.
While* we recoil with horror at the de
pravity and wickedness, which led to the
uinnoi.ition ot‘ a devoted martyr by a
horde i."desperate ruffians, instigated by
a fraternity arrogating to itself tlic privi
leges of despotic power over its deluded
subjects; and believe with you, that viola
tions of private and personal right less
flagrant would in the glorious era of onr
early history, even in the absence of other
grievances! having kindled the dame of
revolution; permit us to other evils , which
have long existed, though but partially
perceived by the community; in which we
Jive, and winch have, arisen and grown up
in the exuberant Soil of Freemasonry.
Not to mention the prodigal waste of time,
nor the consumption of the means requi
red, for purposes of Charity, in vain dis
play or convivial indulgences, we cannot
but J’egard the process of induction and
initiation through the various degrees of
the craft, as unfolding a scries of cererno*
nies, equally puerile and degrading.
These are objections to the order of ma
sonry* which arc chiefly confined to the
members themselves, and to their families.
There are others, which reach the whole
community, and which tend to contamin
ate the streams of social intercourse, an d
to poison the sources of confidence and in
tegrity in every parti In every city and
village the combined support arid patron
age of an affiliated corps, known to each
oilier by concerted signals of recognition,
lint unknown tb all beside, acting in con
cert against the unconscious ranks of their
fellmv-citizens, must speedily produce the
striking results, in elevating die objects of
j their preference to office and wealth, and
in depressing their competitors in the
same proportion:
Such a course of action and such re
sults have long been discernible through
the whole extent of masonic influence.
Nor is it doubted, that advantages of the
nature alluded to have been among the
strongest allurements, especially to youth
ful and aspiring Candidates, to seek its
protection and its aid in the acquisition
or patrrtnage and promotion, to the exclu
sion of Others of equal or superior preten
sions, but whose merits have thus been
left to languish in Obscurity and despon
dence.---The .•troug temptation thus held
ofit to seize the fruit without the labor of
its cultivation have probably been the chief
inoontivo to the votaries of the order.
The tedious repetition of senseless forms
and the endurance of degrading mumme
ries would never Imve been submitted to
by so many aspirants, from mere furiosi ft/
to explore the Vaunted mysteries of the
craft, without the stimulous of benefits,
more certain and substantial. Here too
we may easily discern the real magnet,
which even now sustains and holds toge
ther the congregated mass of freemasons
through our land, overcoming the strong
disapprobation daily unto* audible in the
