WILLIAM L. DAYTON.
BT HON. JAMBS M. 8C0VBL.
Prom the Northern Monthly Magazine.
The world Las never been governed too
little. Kings, from Ca-sar to Maximilian, most
of whom Carlylo would classify as "chielty
Btufled clothes suits," have fretted their brief
Lour upon the stage, and then turned to dust.
Uut, when the millions who toil turn to
wards the uncrowned kings of thought, among
whom were Lincoln aud 1'ayton, these names
are never permitted to die. The "still, sad
nmsto of humanity" whispers their names
through the dim aisles of history, while the
common mind, with reverent atlechon, kin
dles at, and keeps alive in tender remembrauoe
the great deeds and tho lightest words of
"Ti e simple cent ones
done forever ami forever by."
And biography means nothing unless it
Bays, "O my brother I impart to me truly how
it stands with thee in that inner man of thine;
what lively images of things past thy memory
has painted there; what hopes, what thoughts,
affections, knowledge, do now dwell there.
1'or this, and no other object that I can see,
was the gift of hearing and Fpeech beatosved
on ns." Tamo no longer consists in having
ne's name repeated many times in tlie neYrf
papers, else Vallaudigham would be greater
than Aristotle. Greatness must think, and art,
and ftrl, and sitr. It must daro, and be
ready to die, remembering that, if wrovg is
sometimes on the throne and right upon the
Beaffold, it is the dim splendor of the scallold
where truth dies, and not the gilded throne
Where wrong lives, that sways the future.
But to the subject of our sketch:
William Lewis Dayton was a statesman, not
a politician in the every-day sense of that
much abused word, which, by common con
sent, describes the men who believe tho hoatts
of the people are to be won by the mo.st suc
cessful puller, and that the people themselves
are like asses ready saddled and bridled, upon
whioh. the most unscrupulous adventurers can
Bafely and speedily ride into power. Mr. Day
ton was a politician in the best and noblest
Bense of that word; a politician such 413 Cicero
delights to describe, dwelling in the higher
regions of political thought, meditating upon
the principles and policies which make up the
life of states and nations, studying and teach
ing the true foundations of lasting national
greatness. He belonged to the old school, the
ancien regime of anti-slavery Whig statesmen,
who had the sense to see and the courage to
declare that the American statesman's con
trolling purpose was to make politics moral
by a union with natural and national justice.
William L. Dayton was born in Somerset
county (Baskingridge), New Jersey, February
17, 1807. He graduated from college in Sep
tember, 1825, and was admitted to the bar in
his native State, May, 1830. In pronouncing
his eulogy in the Senate of New Jersey, of
which body (then called 'The Council") Mr.
Dayton was elected a member in 1837, just
seven years after his admission to the bar,
Senator Little said: "I have heard an emi
nent jurist declare that Judge Dayton tried his
first case as well as he did his hist. He was
quick in arranging the facts of a case, throw
ing aside the weak points and seizing the
strong ones. Where a crime was to be
punished or a wrong redressed, happy the
Btate or the man who secured the weight of
his professional (strength, aii.l windom. As a
friend, he never allowed political differences
to have a feather's weight with him."
These are strong words of praise from a
life-time member of a political party adverse
to Mr. Dayton's views. No man ever better
illustrated the truth of the sentiments which
in every-day life make the man and the
gentleman; when carried into public life, the
hero and the statesman. We may differ in
opinion from those with whom we agree in sen
timent. After scarcely a year's service in the State
Senate, Mr. Dayton was appointed associate
justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey,
and wore the judicial ermine, the youngest man
upon the bench.
This position he resigned in November,
1841. Samuel L. Southard, of whom New
Jersey and the country were justly proud, a
man of real power and of wonderful eloquence,
died in 1842. William L. Dayton was ap
pointed to fill this vacancy, and in 1845 he was
elected to a full term for six years in the
United States Senate.
Here he was the youngest member of that
tody, and was one year younger than Phil.
Sheridan, though he served in the Senate the
companion of Benton, Silas Wright, Choate,
Crittenden, of Kentucky, and Berrien, of
Georgia. In this body of great minds he was
the peer ot the greatest in intellect or elo
quence, in integrity or in power.
Here, too, he justified the noble words of
Minister Bigelow, who said over his grave:
"Mr. Dayton possessed in a conspicuous degree
that first of all Christian graces truthfulness.
I do not mean to say by this merely that he
would not say what was false. He could not
act falsely. He scorned all indirection. This
may seem too common a quality among states
men, and too much a matter of course to be
selected for special eulogy. Those who think
so have had either a more extensive or a more
fortunate experience than mine."
Here, too, how can we forbear to' give the
truthful and touching words of M. Laboulaye,
an eminent French thinker, who once said
there was one insanity incurable in a French
manthe love of liberty f M. Laboulaye said
at the funeral ceremonies in Paris, after stating
that it had been nearly one hundred years
since the bonds of an irrevocable friendship
had been signed between France and America;
after naming Jefferson and Franklin, Oouver
neur Morris, Edward Livingston, and other3
who had cemented this alliance, "Mr. Day
ton," he Bays, "will take his place worthily
upon this list of glorious names.
"Gentlemen, call to mind the circumstances
under which Mr. Dayton came, in 1802, to
represent the United States in Fiance. I do
uot wish to wound the feelings of any one.
At Bucn a time, and in such a place, there is
room only for amity and for sorrow. But I
must say that the great misfortune of civil
war la, that it at the same time enfeebles a
nation within and leaseus its inUuence without.
In such a cane, a minister must feel great in
quietude, a more than ordinary susceptibility
in defending the interests of his country. Mr
Dayton was fully equal to this delicate task'
Thanks to hh frankness and good faith and
courtesy, he maintained the relations of the
two countries upon the best footiuiz ami in
equal conditions; that is to say, equally
honorable for the two countries. This waa a
service rendered to France as well as to Ame
rica, and which will make brilliant in the
future the name of Mr. Dayton. 'The future 1'
I forget that I am in the presence of the dead
what remains to us but a little dust 1 and
yet, for those who survive, it is a consolation,
it is a duty, to speak of the virtues of those
who are gone. These virtues accompany them
to the foot of the Supreme Tribunal, and there,
let us hope, obtain for theiu the mercy of the
Eternal. Happy is the man who, like Mr.
Dayton, can present himself before that tri
bunal, with the services he has rendered hid
ouatjy, willi Lja tonscienc lear of having
Til? DAILY EVENING TKLEGKAPII PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
committed any ehi against the great cause of
civilization and humanity, the cause he main
tained and sustained because he believed it to
be (as I believe it to 1A the cause of justice
and of human liberty."
No pronder record can a Rtatesman leave
than such words as these, unless it be the
glorious deeds and the unshaken fidelity of
which EUidi praise is the fitting monument.
In truthfulness and directness of character,
William L. Dayton bore a close resemblance
to Abraham Lincoln. The one was only a
generation removed from a revolutionary an
cestry inured to toil; the other was a laboring
man himself; both believing in a government
of the people, for the people, by the people,
because they themselves lived close to the
popular heart, knowing right well that no
price was too high to pay for a republican
form of government, in which liberty should
not be a mockery, a name, anl a delusion, but
in which liberty was the real, vitalizing, con
trolling element of power.
What historical propriety there was in these
two great men standing in the New Jersey
benate, animated by the same heroic purpose,
to save a sinking Republic 1 And none that
witnessed that scene will soon forget with how
much feeling President Liucoln, referring to
bis early reading of Weerub' "Life of Wash
ington, FfJd: "I remember all the accounts
there give:: of the battle-fields and struggles
lor the lili ities of the country, and none lied
themselves upon my imagination so deeply as
the fctnipf;!'" here at Trenton, New Jersey.
I recollect thinking then, boy though I was,
tltnt there naist huve been something more
than comi! n that those men struggled for."
Mr. I'i.) inn's miijd, senile in its strength,
was like the peak of Tentriff", which catches
the glow of the morning sun before the day
dawns up n the lower level. lie sustained
the Wilnict pioviso; he boldly declared against
flaveiyin the District of Columbia. With
cii:il courage he asserted to the fullest extent
tho right of Congress to legislate in regard to
blavery in the Territories of the United States.
And he never went backwards, lie lived
the Latin maxim, Vcxtigia nulla rctrorsum.
Mr. Lincoln regarded William L. Dayton as
one of the six foremost men in the Senate;
and, after hearing a great speech from the
Senator from New Jersey, he turned to a
Congressman, and said: " The destiny of
our country is not in peril with such men to
defend us."
And from the floor of the House the Great
Commoner from Illinois, with great force and
considerable wit, ridiculed General Cass' de
fection on the Wilmot pioviso question thus:
"When the question was raised in 1840, he
(Cass) was in a blustering hurry to take
ground for it; . . . but soon he begau to
see glimpses of the great Democratic ox-gad
waving in his face, and to hear indistinctly a
voice, saying, 'Back, back, sir ! back a little.'
He fhakm his hunt and las his eyes, and blun
ders back to his position of March, 1847; but
still the gad waves, and the voice grows more
distinct and sharper still, 'Back, back, I say 1
J'urllur bark I' And back he goes to his posi
tion of December, 1847, at which the gad is
still, and the voice soothingly E.iys, 'So 1 stand
still at that 1' The warm attachment existing
between President Lincoln and our Minister to
France continued till the hour of the latter's
death. And, when speaking of New Jersey, as
Mr. Lincoln very often did, tho names most
frequently on his lips were those of Mr. Day
ton and of William A. Newell.
Mr. Ljrtuu HMr.il in iit hnak4 -vr.tfc Olnjr, -
Webster, and Calhoun. But he never bent
the knee to the Baal of slavery; and the ox
gad of the subtle statesmen Of the South had
no tenors for the polished, courtly, and self
reliant gentleman. With Henry Clay and
Daniel Webster both in opposition, perhaps
the ablest advocate of General Taylor's admin
istration, on the floor of the Senate, was Mr.
Dayton. His sagacity, for that day, was won
derful. He must have regarded compromise
then as it has since shown itself to be, the
American devil 1 He opposed the
compromise of 1850 bitterly and
persistently, and to-day we thank
him for his matchless fidelity. But we must
not linger too long on these pages of our
nation's history pages dear to us, because
the lessons there taught by some men of
deathless memory have kindled a new evangel
in the hearts of the human race, till the flag
itself, then so nearly the emblem of human
bondage, has again become to the gaze of the
whole earth the beautiful symbol of human
freedom, dearer to us, ten thousand times,
than ever, since its baptism in the blood of
our best and bravest.
Mr. Dayton happily blended in his personal
bearing both dignity and affability. The
writer of this can never forget the generous
hospitality of the American minister, Mr.
Dayton, who then resided in the Rue Circu
late, near the Arch of Triumph, commenced
by Louis Philippe and completed by the Third
Napoleon, and blazoned with the exploits of
conquering Frenchmen. Unlike the Romans,
the French citizen first asks for "glory," then
for pauem et circenses, (bread and the circus).
When stricken by death, Mr. Dayton
seemed only to be in the prime of life, and, if
he had lived longer, the very highest honors
awaited him. But he died with the harness
on. And, if the world could cease to remem
ber his countless virtues, it can never, it will
never forget that the' slave-master's lash
might become music to the Sage of Marshfield,
but that, to the ears of a New Jersey Senator,
the Bound of that lasu, before whien Presi
dents then bared their backs (and history still
repeats herself in presenting in this year of
grace, 1SU7, the same attitude of baseness), to
a Senator from New Jersey, that lash must
ever be the symbol of that society which
creates and nourishes slavery for the body,
atheism for the soul, and despotism for the
people.
W hen the sad news came to us of the na
tion's loss, New Jersey hastened to crown her
foremost son with tears, as she had long since
crowned him with laurels.
The Legislature unanimously passed reso
lutions t hat, in the judgment of New Jer
sey, Mr. Dayton stood in the front rank of his
profession, beside Webster and Choate and
Lmmett and l'inckney; and that, "while we
mourn the dead, we gratefully remember that
unbending patriotism which made his last
years the brightest of his manhood, as lie
bravely stood by his country, and with
Btraightforward honesty defeated the subtle
and tortuous and dangerous policy which
ruled at the court of the Man of December."
The whole State mourned him. Senators
Bukley, Little, and Scudder delivered eulo
gies marked by force, feeling, and eloquence.
"Mr. Pitsideiit: We have mot here to honor
the dead.
' Never before has an honored and eminent
son of New Jersey fallen at a foreign court in
the disihaipe of a publio trust, as died Wil
liam Lewis Dayton on the second of December,
the American minister at the court of the Kui
peror Napoleon.
"Some great mind has declared that death
was not an evil, because it was universal. But
when the duuuilets Baker fell pierced with a
dozen bullets, saying to his soldiers, 'Lie
down, boys, but it does not become a general
to Rhiink in front of the foe, the nation felt it
public calamity which deprived the country
at once of a soldier, an orator, and a states
man. "And, as we stand above' the grave of New
Jersey's foremost son, we can say, not without
emotion, it is no common chance that takes
away a noble mind.
"Some of you knew William Lewis Dayton
better than 1 did. And I am glad to give way
to another, after a brief and imperfect tribute
to New Jersey's dead. I may bo pardoned if,
in my brief tribute to the private worth and
publio character of the deceased, I dwell some
what upon his record as a statesman. It
belongs not more to tho State than it does to '
the country; I had almost said it belonged to
the world.
"Almost all of rtfl remember for it seems
but yesterday with what unanimity and
generous warmth of feeling the bar of New
Jersey bade Mr. Dayton God speed as he pre
pared for his journey to Europe; and with
w hat feelings of sadness and melanoh jly, fears
for tho future of his country, ho started for
the imperial court.
"No man ever represented America in so
momentous a crisis. Benjamin Franklin de
clared that this Government was the lirst ever
framed upon the truths of religion a3 a basis.
But, when ho represented our half-grown Re
public, the experiment against absolutism aud
tyranny had not proved successful or 'per
manent. "William L. Tayton, on tho contrary, went
to France when an armed and formidable
power, with one hundred thousand men in the
Held, menaced the very existeuce of this
Government. And the Mau of December
Limsill', Louis Napoleon, the companion
of such adventurers as Momy, ld
Manrepns, St. Arnaud, and others, who,
winning Paris by bayonets, after shed
ding the blood of thirty thousand freemen, wa3
of all men tho one to sympathize with and to
recognize, as Boon as he dared, a confederacy
w hich was sought to be founded upon the
avowal that the Declaration of Independence
under which we had lived for eighty-eight
years, and grown great, aud prosperous, aud
happy, was a fallacy and a delusion. Here,
then, of all places, was the position where Mr.
Dayten's fidelity to principle and his distin
guished ability could shine with eminent and
original lustre, Some of his friends, in wri
ting to him, said: 'This position affords little
opportunity for distinction.' But, Mr. Presi
dent, this statement is a grave mistake; for
what position in the cabinet of Mr. Lincoln or
as a Senator in Congress can give such
opportunity for distinction as a post
where, as the guardian of the republic, it was
Mr. Dayton's privilege, by urbanity of dispo
sition and by his straightforward honesty of
character, to conciliate an unfriendly power
and to thwart the subtle inventions of his
country's enemies ?
"No, sir ! When the history of this just
but terrible struggle comes to be written, its
pages will gather lustre as they record the
patient vigilance he exercised, and the bold,
open, and determined warfare he made against
the -subtle policy to which the court of St.
James and the Emperor of the French have
been so nearly committed. If opportunity
offered we would gladly go back, and pause in
admiration at the record he made while a
Senator in Congress. In 1850, during the
memorable contest for compromise, Mr. Clay,
in the course of the debate, asked Senator
Dayton if he would support the measure
in the event of the removal of an
til jotliotl 4ww tfrmfc w lol lln
Dayton had protested. The ready answer
was : 'I will not support that mea
sure under any circumstances whatever,
because I believe it fraught with danger in
the future.' In vain did tho gallant Ken
tuckian say: 'I go in for an honorable com
promise whenever it can be made. Life itseif
is but a compromise between death and life,
the struggle continuing throughout our whole
existence until the great destroyer finally tri
umphs. All legislation, all government, all
society is formed upon tho principle of mutual
concession, politeness, comity, courtesy; upon
these everything is based.'
"Pardon mo, Mr. President, for saying to
tho Senate, that such fidelity, such straight
forward honesty and stability of purpose,
teach us who share in the control of public
allairs. that it is a publio man's duty to
plant himself indomitably on what he be
litres to le ri;ht, and bide his time in victory
or in defeat. Judge Dayton's character did
not need success for a stimulant. If his
greatness could be reckoned in qualities, it
consisted in keenness of perception, in cour
age, and in openness of soul. As a states
man, Mr. Dayton was the equal of Southard,
the peer of Clay, and, unlike the sage of
Marbhfitld, he never made a speech of which
he could regretfully say in his last hours,
"It was the greatest mistake of my life." As
a lawyer, Judge Dayton ranks with Choate,
and Addis Fmmett, and the accomplished
William Pinckney. He was, as these resolu
tions say, a thorough lawyer, possessing a
mind enriched by varied experience and dis
ciplined by the exercise of study.
"He was never a laborious student, but had
happily a mind like that of Chief Justice Mar
shall, which discovered truth by intuition.
When upon the Supreme Bench, Judge Mar
shall would Bay to one of his associates,
'This is the law, please look upon the case
which supports it.' Whether in publio or
private life, at the bar or upon the bench,
in Congress or at his own fireside, in
a foreign land, as a gentleman aud a friend,
he charmed by his affability and dig
nity. He was a gentleman in Bishop
Doane's definition of that term, a gentle-man,
and those who have ever associated with him
in the circuits or before the Supreme Bench
will never forget his kindness of nature, his
sincerity, his geniality, and his sympathy.
"But, alas that man, with his power of
thought the greatest in the universe, must
bow before the great destroyers. Man in
form and moving, how express and admirable 1
in action, like an angel ! in apprehersion, like
a god ! is no stronger than the little child
w hen both go to take their places in the silent
halls of death. William L. Dayton is dead.
New Jersey, from tie lair hills of Sussex, from
the rich and fertile fields of Somerset, which
claims the honor of his birth from Sussex to
where the ocean washes the southern shore of
the State, reveres his memory, now that he is
dead; all, all gratefully lay their tribute of
affection upon his grave.
"Liberty, whose advocate he was, rising
luminous aud beautiful above the tears and
chains of her children, weeps for him. And
we, bending reverently above the grave of the
statesman, the friend, the legislator, the
patriot, we yield thee to thy place in the
world beyond the stars to thy place in thy
country's heart, with affection, with gratitude,
and with prayer."
