Miner says : "He could make no pretensions to eloquence, yet he rarely failed to command attention, even from the learned and accomplished; earnest, often vehement, his whole soul seemed to be in the matter he discussed." What is eloquence? The utterance of strong emotion; the power of per- suasion, elevated, forcible thought; well chosen language, and an impassioned manner. Most of those qualities Colonel Franklin possessed to a large degn^ee. The language of his memorial to the Legislature, a...nd his oath upon the bloody rifle, are specimens of the highest order of eloquence. He cannot, of course, be measured by the standard of men like Burke or Gay, whose choice language and impassioned delivery furnished models of 4:heir kind for the world. But it can be said of Franklin, as of Paul before Felix, that when he spoke there was silence, and men trembled. The few specimens left us of his legislative efforts show a thorough compre- hension of his subject, and a bold, fearless course of argument.
