" It has come to be a very frequent remark, what a pity our greatest men cannot be President ; and surely there never has been more occasion for regret than in the case of Webster. What a superb piece of rhetoric would it have been, what a feast, what a banquet of reason, and with what a glow of patriotic pride would every Ameri- 22 can have perused his inaugural address. What annual messages would have illustrated the policy and enriched the literature of the country. What dignity, what streng...th, what splendor in his administration. The Pre- sidential chair would have borrowed lustre from the tal- ents and the fame of such an incumbent. For the first time since the line of Revolutionary Presidents, the hio;hest office in the nation would have been adorned with its highest statesmanship. The Union, the Consti- tution, Peace, and every great interest of peace, would have smiled secure under a ruler at once so wise, so mild, so firm. There are many persons present, differing from him on questions of public interest, who would not have voted for him; but there is no one in this audience, there is no one in this Republic who would not have con- templated with proud emotion, institutions which could first produce such a citizen, and then give him his place according to the specific gravity of nature.
