The many who knew him, and the thousands who have heard hit rare eloquence, will , preiorve the history of hla career a Malory full of i i the triumph# of a great Intellect. No one in thii re. i gion possessed the gift ofurilory to (ho aame extent, i vail stores of information, a memory that retained almost everything ho had read or beard, an Irosgi* nation (bat aoemed without acopo or limit, (head, vantages of travel, the knowledge of human charts. 1 ter aeoored during a varied experience of privation, 1 of toil, and of popular favor, and the present ap i preoiallon of the works of the great writers { for a looy period; made biro without ao equal a* a public speaker. The purity of hie .English*— the ra* 1 pjdity and distinctness of bis elocution*—the lorcejof hie invective—the overpowering influence of. hie < bamorand bis satire—the fervor of his appeals—gave to him, whether before a jury or a crowd, an influ ence that no other man, within our recollection, has been able to wield. His great speeches in favor ol Democratic principles, if printed, would he a trea sure, and would be read with delight in the future, aa they were heard with pleasure in the past. He never sought (be arena of political life; if lie had, be would have shone among the proudest intellects of the land. His love of book waa a passion; and he 1 would startle both court and crowd by the original!, ty and the power of hie eloquence. Barton was born lin Lancaster, in this State. He read law under Mr. 1 Buchanan, to whom ho was ardently attached, and after pursuing the practice of his profession,for some years in'hia native city, bo oamo to Philadelphia to j prosecute for the-State, and waa soon after elevated to (be Bench, returning to the bar after the expire* (ion of bia term, Uut of his profession he never held, Indeed he never eared for an office. Nearly two year* ago he sailed for California from N. York, in order to secure a competency in Uut land of gold. There, too, hit genius made him hoatv of admirers and ftiendsj and had he lived, he would have wen a high position as an almost unsurpassed advocate. We now record his death! In (he prime of life he hsi been taken from us. Let ue be.jast to hie mem ory. Eccentric, but of full soul—a man of impulse, but of stern and sterling attachment*— generous to a fault, for he had frequent opportunities to, smasi fortunes, which, he did not Improve—be lived, ti it were, more for others then for himself. We mourn Mm almost aa a brother lost: fnr we knew him well in boyhood, and stood at hie aide aa welt in the sun. thine as in (he storm (h*t ; chequered hit career.— Ha sleeps under the waves of the eternal ocean he loved so well. Brave men have gone down to ila unsounded deeps. The beautiful, (he gifted, the young and the old, are buried in its mysterious eaves. Bat there is none whose memory we can cherish so fondly, whose history it so deeply engraven oponoar hearts, or whose intellectual gifts it will be more difficult to replace.—Pennsylvanian. Tne above eloquent tribute to the character and memory of Geo. W. Barton, whose melancholy death It confirms, la taken from (ha columns of the] Pennsylvanian. It is as true ae eloquent. .

Yet tliapiclura Is sadly deficient wo think in one thing; (Ae morel lAol sAould be drown from hit melancholy end. Mournful as his dstlb Is, (he calamity itself is not so much metier of regret at the eauee of it. Why conceal that cause! - Why say that he bad failed to improve, various opportunities to amass for* 1 tunes a|home, "sailed to California to secure a com* potency in (hat land of' gold V Why not tell the j painful (ruth that be went (o California (o escape if] possible from the temper who had destroyed Mm; I bound in whose shackles ho had lost all that made 1 him what he was,and become a mere wreck,scarce* | If a shadow of his. former self, hla brilliant intellect if not extinguished, yet no longer burning with arid steady light, but flashing fitfully under the ex citing influences of alcohol? Why disguise the na ture of "the temporary aberration of mind" whieh led him on (hat dark and tempestuous night Into the i darker waters of the Pacific? | “After Hfea fitful fever he aleopa well." Yol wo doubt nut that if. his wishes could be known, they would be found to bo that h(s fate might serve aa a warning to others who are treading in hla footsteps, as unconscious of.tbeii fatal termination as he was when we first saw him, and firat being with hun. dreds of others entranced beneath his burning elo* quence. Never shall we forget (he first and the last time we saw Goo. W. Barton : Firat, aa the youth* fut ardent, eloquent orator, swaying at will the fsel. togs and reason of these who sat apelhbound beneath hla eloquence; the beheld of ail beholders, the admired of all admirers; his young heart burning with ambt. tides fires, and looking forward to the brilliant career wbieb (hen opened before him and upon which be was then just entering. The last: a mere wreck, dependent almost, for vitality upon the exciting poison that had been bit ruin, at whose unhallowed shrine be bad sacrificed health, buslneie, reputation, all that man bolds dear; presenting a picture humiDating to behold, painful to think upon, and too melancholy to portray. "The picture la ac melancholy as It is truthful," and yet it is but one of a thousand similar Instances. Ilia Is but one of the many thousand brilliant intellects that have been oAlioguisbed by intemperaaeef hie but another of Ibo many noble spirits wbu have been lost to themselves, their families and society by the •eductions of this mssler vies. There is not a Slate, not a county in our broad Republic that hoc not been called upon to mourn over Intellect blighted,reputation blasted, proud hopes destroyed, and lire promise of a long career of honor and usefulness turned U> worse (hen ashes In (he person of a ton whoso towering gunius was, slat! no proof against the power of. appetite, but served the rather aa a lure to the entree of the destroyer.— What is (here of good to society In thetrelHo In intoxicating drinks, or to individuals to lbs yu of them to compensate for the destruction of one of such intelligence as George W. Barton, and whan we know that hie fate is but that of thousands who have fallen before him and around him, and will be of myriads more if the fruitful cause of the evil Is riot removed, ire we not called upon by every thing (hat can appeal to us as men, as philanthropists, as lovers of our country and our race to join heart and band to remove the cause that the effect may oeass. If the death of Barton, under the dark waters of the Pacific, where alone he found.a refuge from the perfidious destroyer, shall awaken bit friends, adml* rers and countrymen (o a sense of their duly to their country, their friends and themselves, hla death will not have been in vain.
