The Late Henry.'Winter Davis—Mr. Cress
well's Oration.
At the meeting held at Washington yes-
terday, to honor the memory of Henry
Winter Davis, Hon. J. A. J. Cresswell corn
-xnenced his address by a glowing tribUte to
the soldier, sage, statesman and patriot,
George Washington, awarded by the com:-
mon consent of mankind the incomparable
title of the Father ef his Country; and re
ferred to the late ceremonies in honor of
him who,, as saviour of his country, will be
counted "the compeer of Washington.
After other introductory remarks, he gave
a'brief biography of his deceased colleague.
Henry Winter Davis was born on the 16th
of August, 1817. His father, Rev. -Henry
Lyon Davis, of, the 'Protestant Episcopal
• urch, was president of St. John's College,
lit Annapolis, Md., and rector of St. Ann's
parish, and was removed fro]. the presi
liency of St. John's by a bond of Demo
cratic trustees because of his Federal poli
tics; and years- afterwards, he gave his son
_his only lesson in politics at the end of a
letter, addressed to him when at Kenyon
•College, in this laconic sentence: "My son,
beware of the follies of Jacksonianism."
The mother of the deceased was Jane Brown
-Wilder, a woman of elegant accomplish
ments and of great sweetness of disposition
and purity of life. She had only two chil
dren. Henry . Winter, and Jane, who mar
ried Rev. Edward Style.
The education of Henry Winter began
very early, at home, under the care of his
aunt, Elizabeth Brown Winter, whb enter
tained the most rigid and exacting opinions
in regard -to the training of children, bat
who was withal a noble woman. He once
_playfully said, "I could read before I was
four years old, though much against my
- will." When his father was removed from
John's, he went to Wilmington, Dela
ware, but some time elapsed before ho be
came settled there. Meanwhile Henry
Winter remained with his aunt, in Alexan -
-dria, Virginia. He afterwards went to Wil
mington, and was there instructed under his
father's supervision. In 1827 his father re
turned to Maryland, and settled in Anne
Arundel county.
After reaching Anne Arundel, Henry
Winter became so much devoted to out-
Aoor life that he gave small promise of
scholarly proficiency. Whilst here he saw
much of slaves and slavery, and what he
saw impressed him profoundly, and laid the
foundation for those opinions which he so
heroically and constantly defended in all
his after life. Referring to this period he
said, long afterwards, "My familiar asso
ciation with the slaves while a boy gave me
great insight into their feelings and views.
They spoke with freedom before a boy what
they would have repressed before a man.
They, were far from indifferent to their con
dition; they felt wronged, and sighed _for
freedom. They were attached to my father
-and loved me, yet they habitually spoke of
the day when God would deliver them."
He subsequently went to Alexandria and
was sent to school at Howard, near the
Theological Seminary, and from Howard
he went to Kenyon College, in Ohio, in the
fall of 1633.
His college life was laborious and success
ful. The regular studies were prosecuted
with diligence, and from them he derived
_great profit, not merely in knowledge,
but
in what is of vastly more account, the habit
end Dower of mental labor..:Speaking of
his feelings at the end of his collec , e , life, he
sadly , said: "My father's death' . had em
bittered the last days of the year 1836, and
left me without a counsellor. I knew some:
thing of books, nothing of men, and I went
forth like Adam among the wild beasts of
the unknown wilderness of the world. My
father had dedicated me to the ministry,
but the day had gone when such dedications
determined the lives of young men. The
ology as a grave topic of historic and
metaphysical investigation I delighted to
pursue, but for the ministry I had no call
ing. I would have been idle if I could, for
_I had no ambition, but I had no fortune,
and I could not beg or starve."
His father left an estate consisting only of
some slaves, -which were equally appor
tioned between himself and sister. Fre
-quent applications were made to purchase
his slaves, but he never could be induced to
sell them, although the proceeds would
have enabled him to pursue his studies with
: ease and comfort. He refused a very ad-
Nantageons offer to settle in Mississippi; re
mained in Alexandria, and in 1839 went to
the University of Virginia,' where he en
tered actively on his course of intellectual
training. After a thorough course at the
university he entered upon the practice of
law in Alexandria, Va., and on the 30th of
October, 1845, Iles married to Miss Con
stance T. Gardiner, who died two years
afterwards.
In 1850 he came to Baltimore, and imme
diately a high position, professional, social
and political, was awarded him. He became
a prominent member of the Whig party,
and was everywhere known as the
brilliant orator and successful controvertist
of the Scott campaign of 1852. Mr. Davis
led off in the American movement. He
was electedsuccessively to the Thirty-fourth,
Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth Congresses by
the American party from the Fourth Dis
trict of _Maryland. He supported with great
ability and zeal Mr. Fillmore for the Presi
dency in 1856, and in 1860 accepted Johh Bell
as the candidate of his party, though he
-clearly divined ane plainly announced that
the great battle was really between Abra
ham Lincoln as the representative of the
national sentiment on the oue hand, and se
-cession and disunion in all their shades and
phases on the other. To his seat in the
'Thirty-eighth Congress he was elected by
the unconditional Unibn party.
His sickness was of about a week's dura
tioii. Until the morning of the day prece
ding his death his friends never doubted
his recovery. In the evening his wife spoke
to him of a visit, for one day, which he had
projected to his old friend, Mrs. S. F. Du
pont, when Ireeplied in the last words he
ever uttered—"lt shows the folly of making
plans even for a day." He continued to
fail rapidly until two o'clock on the after
noon of Saturday, the 30th of December,
when Henry Winter Davis, in the forty
ninth year of his age appeared before his
God. His death confirmed the opinion of
•Sir Thomas Browne, who declared, "Mar
shalling all the horrors of death, and con
templating the extremities thereof, I find
:not anything therein able to daunt the
•courage of a man, much less a well-resolved
•Christian.
Mr. Davis left a widow, Mrs. Nancy Davis,
.a daughter of John B. Morris, Esq., of Bal
timore, and two little girls, who were the
idols of his heart. He was married a second
time on the 26th of January, 1857.
The orator ably reviewed the career of the
deceased as a scholar, lawyer and states
man,,enlarging upon his firm and decided
-attitude for the maintenance of the Ukdon
from the very inception of the rebellion.
But his crowning glory was his leader Ship
.of the emancipation movement in Mary--
land, "My Maryland." He was the plat
form-maker, and he announced it in a few
lines: "A hearty support of the entire
policy of the National Administration, in
cluding immediate emancipation by consti
tutional means."
Let free Maryland:never forget the debt
-of eternal gratitude she owes to Henry
Winter Davis.
His most striking characteristics were his
devotion to principle and his indomitable
cOurage. AThere never was a moment when
he could be trathfully charged with trim
-ming or insincerity. His views - were always
clearly avowed and fearleisly maintained.
He hated slavery, and he did not attempt
to conceal it. He remembered the lessons
of his youth, and his heart rebelled against
the injustice of the system. His antipathy
'was deeply grounded in his convictions,
and he could not be persuaded, nor fright
ened, nor , driven; from expressing it He
was not a great captain nor a mighty ruler;
he was only one of the, people, s
thaless,a hero.
At the close of the oration, Mr
Pennsylvania,

TRENTON, N. J., Feb. 22.—Resolutions
favoring negro suffrage and Condemning
President Johnson's policy werintroduced
to-day in the Senate by Mr. Sco el, Repub
t:i
lican, and lost. They are as fol ws:
'Whereas, It has been decided by the Su
preme Court of the United States, that the
great political law of America isi that every
change of government shall , ber conducted
under the supervising authorly of some
existing legislative. body, eat nding the
protection of positive law to th polls, de
fining the general rights of voters,and pro
tecting them in the exercise of the elective
franchise:
Whereas, It is a great fundamental prin
ciple of the American Government that
legislation shall guide • every political
change, and that somewhere :within the
'United States there is always permanent
organized legal authority which guides the
footsteps of those who seek to estore gov
ernments which are disorganize or broken
down; therefore
Resolved, That- Congress, gni - ed by the
higest pre-existing political aut ority ought
to, under the fourth section o the fourth
article of the Constitution, guarantee the
States lately inzebellion a republican form
of government. •
Resolved, That a policy w ich utterly
ignores the rights, civil and poli icai, of live
millions of freedmen, some of whom have
shed their blood for the-salvation of the Re
public, does not possess, and cadnot possess,
any elements 0 vitality or of justice.
.Resolved, That for New Jersey, and in the
name of the country, we tender at once our
sympathy and respect for the bpld and de
termined men in Congress whq have been
and areto-day faithful to the principles that
made us a party, and carried us trium
phantly through four years of civil war.
Resolved, That the greatcause which pro
claims equality before the law 'as one of its
fundamental principles is strong enough to
survive the destruction of any partisan,and
that in the conflict for the rights of man
kind we will adhere to and maintain the
doctrines of the Declaration 6f Indepen
dence.
Mr. Scovel, in offering these resolutions,
said that infidelity to duty was a bad
iil;iin
vestment wherever made. A drew John
son made the worst investme rof his life
when he vetoed the Freedm n's Bureau
biil. - He abandoned justice and trampled
on every principle that elevated him to
power.
A lively and exciting discassi n occurred
on the resolutions.
