Reminiscences of Patrick Item.
The folldwing is from the pin of the Rev. Dr:
' Ale xander, of Princeton Seminary :
From my earliest childhood' I had been accus
tomed to hear of the eloquence of ~ P atrick Henry.
tin this subject there existed but one opinion in the
country, The power of Ins eloquence was felt
equally by the learned and unlearned. , No man
who ever heard hien speak, ori any impertant oc
casion, could fail to admit -his uncommon power
over the minds of his hearers. The occasions of
which he made his greatest efforts have been re
. cotdcd by Mr. Wirt , ll2 hie Life of Henry. What I
propose in this brief article is to mention only what
observed myself more than half a century ago.
Being then a young Mini just entering on a pro
in is - inch, good speaking4xwas s•ery impor
.tsiv, a was nittural . tor me to obs e rve the oratory of
celebrated men. I was anxious to aPnertaip the
true secret of their power or what it watt rybith
eilabled them to away the minds of the hearers,
!most at !heir w ill.
In executing a mission front the Synod of Virginia,
I t the year reyenteen hundred ninety lour, I had
1, pass through (tie county of Prince Edward, where
Mr. Henry irsided. Understanding that be was
r appear before the Circuit Court Whtch met-in
ihat county. in deferne of three men charged with
nfurder.p I determined to seize the opportunity of
for myself the eloquence of this extraor
dulary orator.
h wai with some Iliffienity I obtained a seat in
I ont id the bar, where I could have a full view of
......pt•Aer. as well as hear him duaitictly. Eir t tt.,l
to ,ulanit to a severe penance in gratify nn: eny
for the whole daY was occupied{ w i th
.lerNatninatton of witnesses, in which Mr. Henry
apleti by two other law} era.
r,rson. Air, flenty was lean rather than fleshy.
rather above than below the common
..e!. but hail a stoop in the shoulders which pre
reified him limn appearing as tall as he really was
!:1 ill animation, he had the habit of
raietei:ing his frame, and adding to his apparent
sic ire Ile wore a brown wig which exhibited
.„I,eatM it of any great rare in the dressiog.—
Hier tits sliouldeol he wore a brown caroler
cloak-
I o.ler nos his clothing was black, somewhat the
w erne for wear, The expression of his countenance
w a . of solemnity arid deep earnestness. His
nibs, p,isa red' to be, always absorbed in.wiriat. for
I:le tine,OCT U r ied his attention. His forehead
wan spai.ious ; and the skin of his. lace
mace inn . itsGally wrinkled for a man of filly.—
Ile , eyes were small and deeply set in his head, but
were of asl.tit blue color, and twinkled much
itt their sockets. In short, Mr. Henry's appearance
liwt nothing very remarkable, as he sat at rests—
mieht readily hare taken him' for a planter,
It %in cared very little about his personal appearance.
In hi , manners be was uniformly respectful and
re(' r!er, s Candles were brought biro the court
h-av=e. which the examination of the witness clos
ed and the judges pat it to the opinion of the bar,
v!tather they would go on with the argument that
-•,.pt or a bourn until the next clay. Paul Carting-
Hn Jr the attorney kit die State, a mart - of large
;,/e a•;,i uncommon dignity of person and man
aco an accomplisbed lawyer, professed his
witinc_niess to proceed immediately, - whilst the
ieititn ,, ny was fresh in the minds of all. Now for
he ttrtt time I heard Mr. Henry make anything Of
fr , 'ch. and though it was short, it satisfied me
, tinne thing which had particularly desired to have
, ynded : namely, whether like a player he mere
(V a , eincicil the appearance of, feeling. His manner
nisidres.iing the court was profoundly respectful.
He %tout,' tie wiling in proceed with the ttial, but
sa.,i he, "My heart is se oppressed with the weigh:
r.e.ponsibility which rests upon me, having the
Ire, of three fellow citizens depending, probably,
Pit the exertion which I may be able- to make in
tv!ir behalf ' , (here be turned to the prisoners be
bind him) that I do not feel able to proceed to-night.
:Mt: the court will indulge me, and postpone the
trial till morning." The impression made by These
Fee words was such as I assure myself no one can
ever conceive, by seeing them in print. In the
clantenatice, action, and intonation of the speaker,
tqere was expressed such an inigeinw of leeiting,
that all my doubts were dispelled; never again did
rly,e-amn whether Henry felt, or only acted a feel't
Indeed, I experienced an instantaneous sym
tholly with him in the emottars he expressed; and
I have no doubt the same sympathy was felt by
erery heart.
Ks a matter of course, the proceedings were de.:
'erred 411 next morning. 1 was early at my post;
tae pitl;es were soon on the bench, and the Orriener
al the bar. Mr. Carrington, afterwards Judge Car
on:von—opened with a clear anddigniked speech,
end ;presented the evidence to the jury. Every
tang seemed perfectly plain. Two Protlters and a
ber-in-law met two other persous in pursuit of
a hlare, supposed to be harbored by the brothers.
After some ahercation and mutual Ow, one of
the brothers, whose name was :John Lord, raised a
loaded gun which ho was carrying and presented
oto the breast of one of the other pair, and shot
bin, dead in opereday. There was codoubt about

by some name of contempt; "this Butterwood Torn
Harvey," " this silou/d.fie cortsfakk," &c. By such
expressions, his contempt for the man Walk Ord
municated ihe . hearers. I own . l felt 'it ginning,
on me, in spite of My better judgment;-so that he.
fore -he was done, the impression.tee strong on
my mind that Butteru-oud Harvey was undeserving
of the smallest credit. This impression, however,
I fourkl could counteract, the niment I had time
for reelection. The only port of the-speech in which
he manifested his .pow . er o( touching the feelings ,
strongly, was where lie dwelt on the. irrpptlon of
the company into Ford's .house, in circumstances
so perilous to the solitary wife. This appeal to the
iensitility of husbantist---tuid be knew that all the
jury stood in this relation was overwhelming. If
the verdict weld have been rendered irtnnediatey
after the burst et the pathetre; ere" , man, at least
every hn.sbeed,in the house, would have - been for
rejecting Harvey's testimony; if , not honing him
forthwith. ft wad folturtate that :be illusion of surd,
eloquence is transierh, and is soon dissipated - by
the exercise of sober reason. I confess, however,
that nothing which I then heard so convinced toe
the advocate's poWer, as the speech of rive min
utes, which he made when he requested that the
trial might be poetpondd till the next day.
In addition to this tt So happened that I heard the
lost speech which Mr henry ever made, It 1 , •, , 4
delivered at Charlotte, from theporuco of the court
house, to an assembly in the open air. In the
American edition of 4ict New-Edinburg Eitcyclope ,
dia an account of this speech and its effect is given
so charged with exoneration as to be grossly in;
correct.
There is more, truth ip the
.Matemonts cell - gained
in Mr. IVirt's :memoir. 4 in point of fact, the per
furmance hall tilde impression beyond the transient
pleasure atiordutl to the friends of the administra
tion, and The pain Indidted on the anti-fetlerahmt!,
his former political friends. - Mr. Henry came to
the place with difficulty, and was plainly destitute
of his' wonted vigor and t cornmarying power.—
The speech was neverthelrs a node eflert, r-uclt
as could have proceeded filom none but a patriotic
heart. In the course of bi remarks Mr. Henry ( a s
/ 4.
is correctly stated by Mr. Vio) after speaking of
Washingtc;n at the head o ia ottmetons and well
appointed army, exclannedt " And where is the
1
American who will dam. to ifebis hand against the
Littler . f his country, to poin s weapon a i the breast
of the man who had tin often; led them to battle and
~.

" No," answered Mr. tient. twine aloft in all his
majesty. and in a voice most tilemn end penetra•
ting, "No.: yon deist notdo de it: in such a yanl
cidal attempt, the steel would drop. from your
iterveles.s aim !"

was amidst the crowd, standing pear to Creed ty
lor, then an eminent lawyer, and afterwards a judge;
who made remarks to those around him, durma
the speech, declaring ainortg, other things that the
old man was in his dotage. It is much to be regret
ted that a statement so untrueshould be perpetrated
in a work of sr.ch value and celebrity.
