THE MAN OF ASHLAND.
There is written down in some rolurne of
legendary love , a superstition at once sublime
and beautiful, a strange superstition that would
leach us to believe thai the great aad the good
of this earth are guided, watched over and be
loved from very childhood, by a guardian spir
it, a holy angel who first fills the young heart
with dreams of ambition and then teaches the
untrained fooistep the ways of glory and honor,
, . . . . -
the naihs of iriumnh and fame.
Such a guardian spun, u mighty neiug robed ,
. . . . i
in majesty and clad in power have I imagined,
looking forih Irom ihe mystery of us invisible
being, upon this rude and homely xceuv.
In a small and narrow room with low ceiling
and conliimd walls, some dozen young uibh
whose rustic attire and swarthy features dis- j
clos.il by ,h. Ugh, of the solitary rushlight, .
mark the hardy backwoodsman of the west, are
seated on rough-hewn benches, listening to the
lammerino; words of the orator in their midst.
Gaze well upon that voting orator, friend ol
mine for by my faith, the guardian angel looks j
upon him wiih inlerest and anxiety ' Gaze
upon him a lall stripling with a lean and some
what bony figure, with a face by no moans

Sometime last year, the Author commenced in
the Journs.1 a series of articles entitled the " Men
of the Revolution." The main design of these es
says was to impart vjvid and passing glimpses of
, the most brilliant points in the lives ot our Revo
lutionary worthies without entering into the min
ute details of their several histories. The style
was adapted lo the object, and should he judged in
this view alone, apart from any other critical rules.
The success of the Revolutionary series induced
the "Author to commence the "Men of, the late
War." The first of this series was Deatlwri the
White House." The next the " Man of the Her
mitage." "The Man of Ashland," constitutes No.

In a wid and lofty hall spanned by a mag
nificent coiling, enriched with the triumphs of

through colossal windows, a strange throng of

der .he shadow of mighty lumple consecrated
by the memories of three thousand years, still
fighting and struggling for life and liberty!
These bravo men wiih the blood of their wives
and little onws, slain in merciless massacre, yet
smoking befuro their eyes, with tho " Alia Hu"
of their remorseless hulehers yet ringing in
iheir ears, sent to a far land, whero Liberty
driven from the Old World made her home, and
begged the Children of the Revolutionary Pa-j
triots to jut ihem some aid, to extend but a
haliil lo their assistance, to recognise llietli as a
free and independent nation.
And I hey denied ihem. Yes tho American
Congress refused the petition of ihese brave
men of ihe Grecinn land.
Then. li was that this bold Backwoodsman of
the West uprose on the floor of lhat council
hall. Then it was tuat fire came to his eye
and words to his tongue, then it was that with
his stature militating in its all commanding
height, with his burning brow flushed with sol
emn indigua.iou, this Man of Ashland spake
forth to iae councll-wien of the Nation his fury
ijieshage
" Go homo " he cried in that voice of thun-
der " Go home, to your own firesides, froe
iwen lhat ye are, descendants of th heroes of
Seventy-six, go home and when your constitu

them with the blush of ahume on your brows,
