• One of the misfortunes, under whifch lite

From the Boston Commercial GantH',-
The Cnaractir sir
General ALEXANDER HAMILTON;
CONSIDERED and VINDICATED.
[ ConduJti.]
HAVING fully coufidered the little tales
and {landers which have been propagated by
the malicious industry of his enemies, it It*
mains that we confound these pitiful calam*
niators by a Ample exhibition of that galaxy
of talents and fcrviset which luve drne
honor both to his country and age. Would
to heaven ! t possessed for this octafion the
pure, slafilc, and eloquent pen, of the refi
ned and modefl Kirkhnd, whom the savage
spirit of Jacobinism has dragged before the
public, and with its Wonted regard to truth
has charged with being the writer of this
piece so infinitely beneath hii talents.'
In no one man in America, are cimbined
so many, and such extraordinasy qualities,
which writers upon human nature, have de
clared to be incompatible as ift the charadler
of Hamilton—all his faculties are so perfeft
ly formed and so dtftin&ly marked, that
they appear to have been produced, by the
ffrongeft energies of To an imagi
nation lively, rapid and richly (Wed with
the best of nature's imagery, he unites a
strong, clear, nervous and corrett unders
tanding—with a memory so retentive that
it fufFers nothing valuable to escape it, he
poff. fles a power of refleftion, combination
and arrangement wlvch renders all his ideas
ufeful. Equally capable from thesis rare
talents of drfpla mg flights of
fancy, or the abllrufe refleftions of Icience,
he has been equally distinguished at the Bar,
the Senate and in the Cabinet. Great ge- '
muf-s, great oratois and great ftatefmet',
have too frequently been great cowards. 1%
certainly was the reputed misfortune of
Cicero, of Condot eel and of Jefferson—-But
Hamilton has a foul as brave as Cxsars,
and a heart as pure as Cato't ; fearlefs of
dangers ; proud of nothing but fiis integri
ty ; covetous only of his country's good ;
Ik has often dared its foes in battle, and
his assailants have known full well that he
is ready and willing to vindicate his own
fame whenever they dare openly to attack iu
With qualities so rare, and so unfrequently
united, it had not been polfible, that H.mil
ton could have pifled down the furretn un
diftinguilhcd and i|nknown. When our re
volutionary war called for talents, andfur
nifhed the occasions for their exercise, Ha
milton, then just of age, girded on hi*
sword for the defence of his country. In
his department, which I have underdo )d r
was in the artillery, he soon diftinfcuilhed
himfelf and with no other friends than his
own superior talents, he fyeedily attrafted
the attention of that excel ent judge of
human nature, WASHINGTON. In the
family, and peculiar confidence of 'he com
mander ifl chief, he pitted a very large par
tion of the war ; but a spirit so aftive as
Hamilton's panted for Gtuations of more
danger and more exertion. He quitted the
General, aijJwas inverted with the com
mand of a Tegiment of artillery. In this
situation, at the siege of Ynrktcwn, he was
enabled to display his courage, his firmnefs
and military {kill. At the clufeofthe
he refamed his profeffion, and with a rapidi
ty unparelleled in the history cf the Ameri
can bar, and imprafticable to any other man,
he attained almost inllantaneeuflv, the moA
eminent reputation. The confidence of his
fellow citizens at this period, plated him in
the Gongrefs of the United Statrs Where he
Jirst acquired the hatred of the Gallic fadl
ion, by opposing the intrigues, the secret but
fcandaloue intrigues of the Cabinet of Ver
sailles. In the date of convulsion, distress,
disorder and decline which eniued the peace
of 1783, there was no room for the exertin
of superior talents until the year 1787, when
the Convention which framed our excellent
Constitution were aflembled.
In that illuftriouß body, Hamilton was a
powerful, influential, able and important
mtmfcer—ln the cowrie of those debates,
he developtd that intuitive perception, that
strength and clearness of mind, that knowl
edge of human nature, and that acquaintance
with the interests, wants and charafter of
the American people, which have since been
so confpicious in him—after the promulga
tion of the Constitution, he was indefatiga
ble in his exertions for its adoption—the
great and important State of New-York,
without which our union could not have
been perfe&ed, was the moll opposed to the
Constitution By the unremitted exertions
of Jay, Hamilton, and King, the objeft was
atlaft effefted, and nothing contributed more
largely to the elucidation and defence of
that excellent fyftcm of goverßment, than
the admirable essays under the title of the
Federalist, of which Hamilton deservedly
has the principal nn^rit.'—After the firft «r«
ganization of the government, it became
important to feleft the greatest talents to
fill the different departments. The finance*
of the nation exhibited a melaucholy and
confufed afpedt ; no branch ef Revenue ex
isted. The promises of the government
were treated with contempt. The habits
of the people were avef: to the regular re
ftiaints of a well conduced finance. Or
dinary talents wsra not fitted to the magni
tude of the exigency.
The requisite abilities must necefiarily be
prodigies, and the country could not and
woulJ riot offer the rewards neceflary to at
tempt so Herculean a talk. Washington
had seen the talents of Hamilton in the
dawn of their splendour, and eight year*
absence had not effaced the recolleflion of
them. He knew also the d'tfinterejied nature
of his foul, that his country's fnccefs and
glory was all the reward he would alk.—
From the Potowmac he looked northward,
and drew from the bankj of the Hud fori,
