This Will Attempt To Point Out

\* * t

The season for political oratory is now at hand, and it seems fitting and appropriate at this time to point out to political orators of today some of the knightly oratorical habits of famous American politicians of the past. It can be shown in innumerabl'e instances that in the early days of this nation, the bitterest debates were often softened by.a generous show of good temper, good manners, and gentlemanlycourtesy.

As a special example, take the famous debate on the subject of slavery that took place in the U. S. Senate in the year 1E30, between Senator Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts, and Senator Hayne, of South Carolina. While in the main bodies of their speeches they struck sledgehammer blows in defense of their own opinions and against those of ,their opponents, yet they found time for courteous and gallant words for the opposition. Hayne spoke first. In fact, Webster answered him five days later. In part the South Carolinian said:

"Sir, f honor New England for her conduct in that glorious struggle (the Revolution). But great as is the praise which belongs to her, I thinli at least equal honor is due the South. They espoused the quarrel of their brethren with a generous zeal which did not.sufrer them to stop to calculate their interest in the dispute. * * {€ Trampling on all considerations either of interdsts or of safety, they rushed into the conflict, and fighting for principle, perilled all in the sacred cause of freedom. Never was there exhibited in all the history of the world higher examples of noble daring, dreadful suffering, and heroic endurance than by the Whigs of Carolina during the Revolution. The whole state from the mountains to the sea was overrun by an overwhelming force of the enemy. The fruits of industry perished on the spot where they were produced, or were consumed by the foe. The plains of Carolina drank up the most precious blobd of her citizens. Bl'ack and smoking ruins marked the places which had been the habitations of her children. Driven from their homes into the gloomy and almost impenetrable swamtrF, even there the spirit of Liberty survive4 and South Carolina proved by her conduct that tho the soil might be overrun, the spirit of her people was invincible."

Thus spoke Hayne. And when he rose to reply, Webster took up the same line of thoughS, saying: "Let me obsene that the eulogium pronounced by the honorable gentleman on the character of the State of South Carolina, for her Revoltrtionary and other merits, meets my hearty concurrence. I shall not acknowledge that the honorable member goes before me in regard for whatever of distinguished talent, or distinguished character, South Carolina has produced. I claim part of the honor; I partake in the pride of their great names. I claim them for my countrymen, one and all-the Laurenses, the Rutledges, the Pinckneys, the Sumpters, the Marions-Americans all, whose fame is no more to be hemmed in by State lines, than their talents and patriotism were capable of being circumscribed within the narrow limits."

And Webster continued: "In their day and generation they served and honored the countr5 and the whole country; and their renown is of the treasures of the whole country. Does the gentleman esteem me less capable of gratitude for his patriotism, or sympathy for his su,fferings than if his eyes had first opened upon the light of Massachusetts instead of South Carolina? Sir, does he suppose it in his power to exhibit a Carolina name so lright as to produce envy in my bosom? No, Sir, increased gratification and delight, rather. I thank God that, if I am gifted with little of the spirit which is able to raise mortals to the skies, I have yet none, as f trust, of that other spirit that would drag angels down. When I shall be found, Sir, in my place here in the Senate, or elsewhere, to sneer at public merit because it happens to spring up beyond the little limits of my owq State or neighborhood; when f refuse, for any such cause or for any cause, the homage due to American talent, to elevated patriotism, to sincere devotion to liberty and country i or, if I see an uncommon endowment of heaven, if I see extraordinary capacity and virtue in any son of the South, and if, moved by local prejudice or gangrened by State jealousy, I get up here to abate the tithe of a hair from his just character and just fame. may my tongue cleave to the roof *of my*mouth."

Thus spoke Senator Webster concerning South Carolina and its fame. But he was not one who could rest with merefu praising t6e other fellow and the other state. Having poured his praise upon South Carolina, he turned to his own State of Massachusetts, and orated thusly: "Mr. President, f shall enter on no encomiums upon Massachusetts, she needs none. There she is ! Behold her, and judge for yourselves. There is her history; the world knows it by

heart. The past, at least, is secure. There is Boston, and Concord, and Lexington, and Bunker Hill; and there they shall forever remain. The bones of her sons, falling in the great struggle for independence, now lie mingl'ed with the soil of every State from New England to Georgia; and there they will lie forever. And, Sir, where American Liberty'raised its 6rst voice, and where its youth was nurtured and sustained there it still lives, in the strength of its manhood and full ofits original spirit. If discord and disunion shall wound it, if party strife and blind ambition shall hawk at and tear it,if folly and inadness, if uneasiness under salutary and necessary restraint shall succeed in separating it from that Union by which alone its existence is made sure, it will stand, in the end, by the side of that cradle in which its infancy was rocked; it will stretch forth its arm with whatever vigor it may still retain over the friends who gather round it; and it will fall at last, if fall it must, amid the proudest monuments of its glory, and en the very spot of its origin."

Both ihese speakers, Webster and Hayne, in the main portions of their orations, struck mighty blows against the philosophies of the other; but they nevertheless departed from their subjects long enough to utter the quoted words. Their formula seemed to be, always say something in praise of the other fellow, while neglecting no opportunity to boost your own cause. In this particular debate of Webster versus trIayne their philosophy was beautifully illustrated. Even in political oratory, even in the stress of deep political emotion, courtesy can play a powerful part.***

It may probably be said without danger of argument, that in late years political oratory in this country has not been highlighted by the brand of gallantry and courtesy shown by Webster and Hayne; or to say that a fair sprinkling of the same would add a lot to the quality and effectiveness of our political campaigns. It would require almost a right-about-face to accomplish this, but wouldn't it be a grand change?
