Governor Seymour, in the lecture in which he gavo some of !.is recollections of public men, at Whucstown, recently said that do man who ever lived iu thin country could lose his temper so judiciously as Gen. Jaokson. He spoke of Calhoun as a man of wonderful dignity of manner and mighty logie; of Clay aa chivalrous, having Bomelhing of the knight errant in bim, a fearless debater and a truly patriotic man ; aiid of Webster, in eome respecta the greatest of these three, and in otber reepeots the weakest. In bis judgment, he said, Webster would hve figured better as a literary man. He should have been a â– tudent, a historian or a poet. He had passion for poetry, and wrote verses exoeedingly well. He would hava rankcd with Burke ; he would have eclisped Macaulay.
