THE DAILY POST.
THURSDAY MORNING
We troika the following extract from Senator
Ilontr's oration, delivered in Richmond, on the
221 inet. We have rarely met a more eloquent
or finished effort.:—
It is a duty, then, which Virginia owesto him,
to herself, and to her peSterity, to tell the great
story of his life in ell the forms in which it can
reach the hearts and minds of men. Let it be
told in the graceful numbers of the poet ; let it
be carried Sown in the everlasting traditions of
history ; let it be imaged forth in the highest
impersonations of the painter's and the sculp
tor's genius. There is a great moral in that
story which ought to be felt by every human
heart, fur it is the story of one who alone, of all
the great rulers of men, has proved by a consis
tent example that in the midst of temptations
and the most seducing opportunities for the
gratification of a selfish ambition he preferred
the duties of life to its pleasures, its power, and
even to life itself Let, then, Virginia on this,
his natal day, raise the effigy of her noblest son
before the eyes of admiring men ; and who shall
blame her if some touob of maternal pride
should be mingled with the tears of pions regard
which she may shed for him who was the world's
great paragon for all that is sublime in public
virtue and all that is patient and brave
.in the
human soul" She this image not to re
fresh the fountains of her grief, not to take
tribute from human s.)nipathy for the soul's deep
wound, not to express the sad sense of bereave
ment in whatever form of utterance may be
most enduring; but she this day elevates it in
face of the world to consecrate his memory is the
hest affections of every heart, and to dedicate his
name to the great cause of humanity, and as a
me:ninon poFisess.len to all mankind. This is no
idle ceremonial of grief which we celebrate to
day ; but a State is inaugurating with a rever
ential sorrow which such greatness may inspire
ia even a mother's heart, the influence of perhaps
the highest human example, which iS to be as
wide as the world iu its operation, and to coin-,
wand love and sympathy from every human
heart. Long then, may yonder expressive
bronze continue to speak its lessons of virtue
and wisdom to each succeeding generation of
man. Let the mother bring her boy hither that
she may teach him in this presence as his earliest
lesson so much of the great story of Washington
he may be able to appreciate and comprehend.
Let the aspiring youth whose ambition, like
Ciesar's, may have been fired by the study of ex
amples of early successes so much greater than
his own, pause to behold that calm face and con
sider its associated story of patient fortitude and
noble perseverance. Or should he, in his eager
ne'ss for tame, find that he - is in danger to prefer
the prizes of ambition to goodness, let him pur
-1 sue that story to its conclusion, and learn that it
was NVashingtou's unfaltering loyalty to duty
and faith in virtue which endowed him with an
itainost superhuman strength, and made his name
imuacria among men.
is it a man of maturer years who, diappointed
his aspirations and misconstrued in his best
loi noblest efforts for his race, begins to grow
weary in the struggle and to despair of achievs
in.!, anything great or even good, let him consider
how sternly the great soul of which that statue
:peaks was tried, and with what courage and
t nth it parsed through the fires of a consuming
strife, until every difficulty was surmounted and
it stood purified and annealed by the fierce or
deal to which it had been exposed. Who amongst
us :ill might not gather from his meditations, in
this calm presence, precious lessons for the guid
ante and direction of his future conduct? Here,
then, is The/ genius loci" which should invite
the uu.versal pilgrimage of mall, for all:its influ
enoea are sacred to th, great cause humanity it
self ',reached by the inspired hand of human
genius, that mute bronze pours forth its full tide
f livtu associations, which, like water from
ti.e rock of Horeb, may refresh the soul of him
whose h pee and strength are failing under the
te,lsoine, and, it may be, the sad experience of
his devious journey through life.
This statue is not merely a monument to
Washington, but an altar erected to Heroic Vir
tue itself, before . Li. , human heart may
purify its own aspiratio,t, under the chastening
influences of the great example of the Father of
his Country, and upon which it may sacrifice
every wild or mad desire that may be adverse to
th country's good.
A:1 yet this monument itself will pay away
when time, with slow corroding tooth, shall have
dissipated, atom by atom, its consecrated dust.
But when all its particles, fugitive on the winds,
shall have disappeared from , human view, there
will still survive the monument which Washing
ton's own genius has erected for itself, for there
is a promise in which we all confide, that the
good which men do shall live after them. How
much of all that we admire in human achieve
ment must lose its influence in the end, because
11 is founded in ill! The very process of its
progress dissipates it at last, for the circles of
its impulse grow fainter as they grow broader,
until they finally disappear altogether on the
face of the great ocean of life. But the good
which men do in this life, and especially such as
Washington achieved, shall live always as an
efficient cause and a permanent influence in the
progress of human affairs. The foot of the
spoiler may trample down for a while what is
'est in the garden of life, but heaven, soon or
late, will send its rains to wash out all traces of
the step. Its tempered Mrs will visit the germi
nating seed, its genial light will guide the up
ward growth until by a full - development of leaf
and flower, and fruit and seed, it has not only
completed the course of one charming circle of
existence, but provided for the reappearance of
another. The work of him who planted the
good seed shall live long after all traces of the
destroyer shall have been lost and forgotten. lf,
then, the good which men do be the charmed
seed of life, which must increase and multiply
in the successive processes of a continued repro
tithe-inn, who shall affix limits to the growth and
existence of that which Washington planted as

nearly prophetic and whose wisdom and pstrriot
ism made him a great leader in his day. John
Marshall is to constitute another figure in that
great group, he whose qualities of head and hea'rt
were bestowed by Nature as if she were trying
her most cunning hand to constitute a perfect ju
dicial character. Unequal in learning to Coke
or Hale, or Hardwicke, or Mansfield because he
had fewer opportunities to acquire it, he united
the character of Hale to ..the genius of Mansfield,
and found in his own resources those means of
mastery for which they wore so largly dependent
on the assistance of others. Patrick Henry al
ready stands there, a, commanding figure in the
group, the "Homer of orators," .whose mighty
voice comes ringing down with the ages to star
tle the most listless of human ears with thOse
watchwords of civil revolution and progress,
"Give me liberty er give me death!" And yon
der contemplative figure—who needs to be told
that it is Thomas Jefferson, the most intrepid
thinker and the greatest political genius of his
day I—a man who was capable of committing
himself, like Columbus, to the winds and the
waves in pursuit of his own great idea, and of
persevering until he discovered now provinces of
thought, and found firm ground for the human
mind beyond the uncertain seas whioh others
had feared to pass before.
Still the representation of the revolutionary
family of Virginia is far from complete. The
statue of George Rogers Clark, like that of Bru
tus, is missing. The Lees and the Randolphs,
Madison and Monroe, 'eapientum que orapr iorum'
might well constitute another group of kindred
greatness to these. May a long succession of
sOch chapters of monumental history continue to
tell the tale of Virginia's greatness and glory !
FEBRUARY 25
But I must not close this address without ono
word of affectionate adjuration ,to thee, Vir
ginia, and bidding you all hail, oh, most glori
ous mother ! Take us, thy children, with thee
td the tombs of your mighty sons, that we may
learn from your meditations something of the se
cret of your ewn great heart. Does it occur to
you, as you bend in Borrowing pride over these
monuments of your dead, that perhaps the wiser
part was taken by the daughter of Scipio and
the mother of the Gracchi, who refused to bear
more children lest she should be shamed by the
comparison of the younger with the elder born?
Is it the. secret question of your bosom, " Quid
faciurzt stemmata?" when you contrast your pres
ent with your past? I pray you, by all the love
we bear you, to harbor no such reproachful sug
gestions in your bosom. The wealth of your
achievementa,may lie in the past, but never was
a mother richer in the affections of her children.
Every drop of your waters and the very dust of
your soil are as dear to them as if they bore'tlre
charm of life itself. Your great name and its
associations constitute the fascinption and the
spell which call up . the deepest emotions of filial
love and pride in the hearts of your children.
They may not add to the lustre of your name, but
they will preserve and defend it against reproach
and disgrace. They no longer bring curule dig
nities to your house, nor do lictors and fasces
mark their approach to your door, but they bear
you what, after all, is the richest treasure and
best defence of a State—the loyalty and devotion
of a united family which knows no higher reward
than a mother's love, and no prouder object of
ambition than a mother's glory. Permit me,
then, to say,if the love which inspires it can ex
cuse the presumption of the advice, that if you
wish to renew, in scone future generation, the
glories of your mighty line, you must be true to
Yourself, to the traditions of your past, to the
long established principles of your public policy
and the peculiar genius of your people. For
how long did American civilization follow the
line, of their camp fires as your pioneers passed
through the wilderness? Why may there not
spring up again within your houshold the lights
which may lead to a higher culture and to ahap
' pier, a more refined and a more powerful combi
nation of the social and individual elements
whose proper organization constitutes the
strength of human government? I believe, in
my soul, that such would be the results of the
faithful and further application of the principles
of your own great school. Equally firm is my
conviction, that the lights which should direct
that application aro to be found in the lessons
which have been taught by your own sons, whose
teachings have in them more of prophetic wisdom
than all the leaves of the Sybil. Such are the
achievements which would place Virginia
amongst the States and nations of the earth,
where WASHINGTON, her own illustrious son,
stands amongst men—the world's great paragon
the cynosure of his race.
