THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAROn 1, 18G6. i IKE GIANTS OF THE LAST GENERATION. Personal Reminiscence! ,ot Thomas Ewlny. The followine; personal sketches of Webster, Clay, and Taylor, the Whig leaders and lunilna ies of twenty and thirty years ago, are rendered ot peculiar Interest by the faot that their author U the venerable Thorns Ewing.tbe Nestor of Ohio statesmen, who occupied a scat la the Senate with Webster and Clay, became a member of resident Taylor's Cabinet, and was for many yari the political assooiate and intimate per sonal friend of all these distinguished leaders. Xbe manuscripts were forwarded by Mr. Ewing i us contributions to the Sanitary Pair held In Cleveland In the spring of 1864, but were mislaid J at that time, and have never, until now, been I published: ; ; - Dnnlel Webster. 1 Mr. Webster's speech in reply to Hayne ex hibits the mental photoRraph df the man most perlcrtly. It was delivered lust before I knew him, but after 1 became familiar with his man r.cr I could see him in dt and every part of it, g perfectly as If I tad been actually present. I.thoucht and still think it the mightiest ertort of parliamentary or forensic eloquence louud in literature superior to Demosthenes' plea lor the crown, Oicero against Venes, or Fox on the Westminster election, lie was perfectly familiar with the British i classics, Irom Spencer to Sheridan Inclusive, and j with the Latin of the Augustan aso. lint be i knew little of Latin prosody. 1 sat immediately behind him in the Senate. One day Mr. Foreytb. was declaiming on that never-endinic theme, the J Tariff, whpn Mr. Webster wrote upon a piece of ! paper ana banded back: to me a i,atin line, W'"?:- .... "1 Dave nan a minu to qnote ton on rorsytn." 71 ctriiftlr mA oo wrnnor Vint Iriintl'incr lrwa tinr. laps of prosody than himself, I could not loll Why. I replied: , "It is nearlv Vlrpil, but I think not quite." ? He said, "We will soon see," and beckoning to him Mr. Everett, who was leaning against a column near the President's seat, Mr. Webster handed to him the paper, and said: "Is that Virell ? i He took up a pen, struck out a word of one syllable, interlined tbo same word in another apiece, and handed it baak, saying, "Now it tis." The line was from the Fourth Book of I "Exoriaro aliqms nostris ex esstpus onor." lie bad misplaced the "ex." One ot his quotation' I thought unsurpassed for force and brevity. He was discussing Gene ral Jackson's proposition to reject all bank de- Ipoeitones and take churge of the publio funds j Himself. "It was the age of banks, though banks sometimes broke: it was the age of steam- boats, though steamboats sometimes blew up. H3Ub Willi UUIUUJUUUy Ul liuupic ttuum ,yj uatn. to private depository? Who that go upon seas I r rivers would reiect tne stenmDoat aua aaoot the old scow ?" This was the general course of ought I cannot recall his language. He then f erred, as the representative boat and boatmen e were about to 'limtute, to tho ancient ferry man Charon and his outQt: Ipse ratern conto dmt. It did not, however, make an impres sion accoroing to its merit. I was In New York city with him, I do not remember the year: but while he was a widower. On one of our rides he told me a pleasant story of a gentleman a little past the middle line of lite, who asked in marriaec a blooming girl ust touching womanhood. The point of the story was answered by the tat tier reiustng his request, I had heard it told of Webster himself, and 1 I replied in part of a line of "Horace," which I I ! chanced to remember: "Ho te liccojabula nar tatur." He made the Hue complete by adding the first words in a tone of interrogation: "Muiato nomine?" "No," I said, "with your own proper name." He, received it very plea santly, and I thought the personal application the true one. We dined with Chancellor Kent and hla fin Yankee wife, lit representative of the Roman matron, if that were indeed praise beyond what she in lact was. I think it was in the littieth year , Kent the younger made up the party. The winter previous, in discussing post oiuce irauas, i re ferred to what had occurred in a former session I not a member, but "a looker-on, here in Vienna." The quotation was hackneyed "past all use, but always quoted wrong" Venice. Young Kent said it had been a great deal dis cussed in the social circles; he was confident I La1 4 vf.ht Vt,fr r,riill nnf Mt.rl If VTt lWilMitm f immediately replied: "Measure lor Measure. Vincentlo, in, the Fifth Act," and gave a few . lines of the context. The old Chancellor sprung ! to his feet and ran across the room like a ' pleased boy, delighted with Webster's reading. The play is seldom or never represented on the euige, and therefore little known in fashionable circles. 1 The last time I met him, before some difference J I as to national policy cast a shale of unkind neas 1 1 'between us, was in the Supreme Court. I was f (then attending to my causes; he in the Senate, ! jbut waiting the coming on of some very tin- Iportant case. I met bim every morning about j I II for near a month. The Senate sat at 12, and I wo walked b hind the Judges' seats and were ! sociat. Oue day I wa detained at home. The Jiext morning we met at the usual hour, and as we Bbook hands, he said: "Oue morn I missed him." This was kindly and handsome, and when I read that on his deaih-bed he asked for "Gray's Elegy" the scene rushed upon my memory with a force that, almost unmanned mo. How often, morning, noon, and evening, have I since missed him I " Henry Clay, Mr. Clay, with all his ternble power of denun ciation, was In ordinary debate pleasant and playful. When dealing witu au ordinary adver sary he often reminded me of the line in Mil ton's description of Eden belore the tall: "Sparttve (he lion ramped, and in hn paw iiandied the kid." On ore occasion, the year I do not remember, but It was ihe first time the Whips carried an election in the city of New York, I found him early in bis si at with a newspaper in Lis hand. As soon as the lourual was lead, he rose quite out of oropr announood to tae resident (Mr. Van Kureni the Whig victory, spoke of their noble vcflorts in the cause of their country, and of their ; brilliant success. "lour own loiiow-citlzens. j Mr. President the proud capital of your noble 1 State has made its voice beard in our hall, in 1 defense of the Constitution of our country. Ah 1 Mr. President, does not this warm your patriotic i neari T" j The impudence and absurdity of this appeal jwasioomucn lor tne dignity oi a presidin, 'j officer. Mr. Van Buren's face drew itself into ' know not how many indescribable lines, in j which the comical predominated, and he slid - down in his seat until nothing of him was visible Cut the smooth top or his head, lie soon called ome one to tlie chair, came down, took a pinch of scutf with Mr. Clay, and alter a wholesome laugh between them, the morning business went on. His classical allusions (English classics) wore few, but sutlleiently huppy. Ilia attempts to cite poetry generally failed. On one occasion be attempted the hackneyed quotation from Utfuet: JUt tne paiiea jaae wince, our wimert are an t wrung." ' Tie mistook the last syllable, and with great ti tine tn ens and fine emphasis made it "un V iiiR." Watkins Leigh sat on bis right, I on tis left; both at the same Instant, in suppressed t'itx, pronounced the word "unwrung." The (puble prompting confused bim; he drew him- li; up, uuu wim stronger coipnajis tuaue tue t rd "unhung." He stood with a very pleasant l t,untmbaiased countenance until the laugh, ch had become general, subsided, and then, i i a gentle shake of his head, and a long i wing out of the first word, said: "Ahl mur- i w ill out." 1 almost imagined he had sll cped t purpose to show his adroitness in recovering. Mil his wit was Boaietimei displayed in tfless i i61v spirit. All will remenibor Mr. Himha- .i.n'.4diningenuoiis letter on the subject of "bar ,.i(n and corruption." Mr. Clay never lorsot, 4 ,.uer loruave it, aud nevor laiied to take occa sion, and It none arose, to make occasion, to punish it. About 1834 or '35 a matter of some interest was under discussion. A leading Whig or two had spoken, and two or three of the rank ana me or tni uomocraiic pnj, dui no Democrat then prominent. Walker, of Mis sissippi, was speaking. As he was drawing to a close, I obsorved that. Mr.Clay. was. paving. .ua-. usual attention. ' The moment Walker closed ne sprang to his feet and spoke for 0 ve or ten min utes with irreat vchemonee-of manner, saying nothing, but sin) ply vaporing. lie boasted that the noble Whigs came out on every quertlon that arose, with promptness and decision, while tie Democratic leaders put their rank and filo forward .to skirmish, while, they lay by and waited fend watched, the. popular in dications. "Come put,'! said he, '.'come. ont like men, define jout 'porltions. Let us hear from you; I call for the leader of tho party.". Mr, Wright and Mr. Buchanan sat near each other on a line with Mr. Clay, who obviously directed tis remarks to one or both ottuem. Mr. Wright looked up for a moment picked with his finger the hair behind his ear and turned to his writ ing. Mr. Buchanan looked and listened, and, when Mr. Clay took his seat, rose and replied with hieh Indignation he was surprised at the gentleman from Kentucky: "He knows well, and the Senate can bear me witness,, that I am prompt and direct in expressing my opinion on sublects as they arise, but I choose to take my own time and consult my own conscience. Tho gentleman Irom Kentucky need not expect to lorce me into this discussion or any other .till. 1 choose to engage in it." Mr. Clav, m his blandest manner, assured the gentleman trom Pennsylvania that he had no reference whatever to him "far irotn It," said he, ami, with mighty eiiiph4sis, "I called for the leaders ot the party." M. Buchanan ap pealed to the Senate the genvleman from Ken tucky flxpd his eyes upon him and addressed his remarks to him throughout. Mr. Clay, in his sottest and most conciliatory tone and phrase, said be could well conceive how the gentleman lrora Pennsylvania had fallen Into the error. "I often," said he, "suppose that a gentleman is looking at me, when in fact he looks quite another way." (Mr. Buchanan has a cast of the eye.) I said to Mr. Clay when he look his seat, "Your first blow was cruel but maguitlcent, the last savacc warfare tomahawking." "Ah 1 d n him," said Mr. Clay, "he writes letters." General Taylor. Justlco to the memory of General Taylor re quires that I mention one act of bis which be longs in history, but. which is buried so dep under the rubbish of departmental reports that it will probably never see the light. The last night of the Presidency of Mr. Polk he issued au order to his military comman dant in New Mexico to surrender the country to Texas whenever the authorities ot the State should demand it. This was discovered by one of the members ot General Taylor's Cabinet some time in the latter part ol the summer, and bla attention called to it at a Cabinet meeting. He turned to Crawford, Secretary of War, and said : ".Revoke the order at once, and direct the commandant to delend the country and people against all who may attack or assert dominion over them, whether Navajoes or Texans, .nntil Congress or the Supreme Court shall order otherwise." The order was at once made, and 1 suppose made known to the Southern leaders by Mr. Crawford. , They Toombs, Stephen?, and others endea vored to induce General Taylor to recall his order and restore Polk's. This he peremptorily refused. They enquired ot htm what he would do if Texas sent an armed force to take posses sion? He said he would defend it with all the means in his power. Toombs, in telling this to one of his irlends. who repeated it to me, said, "The worst of it is he will do it 1" And they Immediately arrayed themselves with the opposition. T. Ewino.
