Stanton's room in the War Department on the day of the Gettysburg celebration, and he said, "Have you seen these Gettysburg speeches? " " No, " said I ; " I did n't know you had them. " He said, "Yes; and the people will be delighted with them. Edward Ever- ett has made a speech that will make three columns in the newspapers, and Mr. Lincoln has made a speech of per- haps forty or fifty lines. Everett's is the speech of a scholar, polished to the last possibility. It is elegant and it is 37 lea...rned; but Lincoln's speech will be read by a thousand men where one reads Everett's, and will be remem- bered as long as anybody's speeches are remembered who speaks in the English language. " That was the truth. If you will com- pare those two speeches now you will get an idea how superior genius is to education ; how superior that intellec- tual faculty is which sees the vitality of a question, and knows how to state it; how superior that intellectual faculty is which regards everything with the fire of earnestness in the soul, with the re- lentless purpose of a heart devoted to objects beyond literature.
