-THE DISENTHRALLED: r

He hid bowed down to drunkenness .
An abject worshipper r
The pride of manhood's pulse had grown
Too faint and cold to stir ;
And he had given his spirit up
To the unblessed thrall
And bowing to the poisoned cup
He gloried injiis fall ! 171
- There came a change the cloud rolled off.
And light fell on his brain l j
And like the passing of a drcami
Thai comcth not again ) Tf 1 r
The shadow of the spirit fled! k-
He saw the gulf before. " -r.
lie shuddered at the waste behind
And was a man once more
5.
lie shook the serpent fold away
Thai gathered round his heart.
As shakes the swaying forc-t oak '
Its poison Tines sparl :
He stood erect returning pride
Grew terrible within.H.TV

And conscience sat in judgment on
His most familiar sin. " " t t .
The light of intellect again " &&
Along his pathway shone '
And reason like a monarch sat
Upon his golden throne.
The honored and the wise once more
Within his presence came
And lingered oil on lovely lips
His once forbidden name.
There m3y be glory in the might
That treadclh nations down
Wreaths for the crimson conqueror
Tridc for the kingly crown
But nobler in that triumph hour
The disenthralled shall find
When evil passion bowclh dowu
Unto the godlike mind.
TRIBUTE T.O MR. LEGARE.
BY MR. JUSTICE STORY.
At M customary lecture on the Constitution of the
United States.jto the Students of Dana Law College
on Thursday the 2"2d instant Mr. Justice Story made
the following remarks upon the character of Mr. Le-
gare. They were taken down by" a' gentleman pre-
sent and are now published under the sanction of the
learned Judge. ' '
When I last met you I little anticipated the cala-
matous event which has since occurred in the death
of a distinguished man who expired in the cily of
Boston on Tuesday morning' last. ' Whoever consi-
ders the principles of the Constitution can never for-
get him ; for he was firm and true to its doctrines
and exhibited that elevated and comprehensive state-
inanship which the constitution demands of its real
friends. I refer of course to Mr. Legare the lite
Attorney General with whom I had the happiness
to be intimately acquainted';' whom 1 fcnoiv'nbl only
as an accomplished gentleman but also asn great
lawyer l speaK ot htm to you hero not merely to
pay a deserved tribute 'to his worth but because I
know of no man whom J would sooner propound as
an example to young men entering the profession
which he has so much adorned. I had indeed look
ed to htm with great fotidness of expectation. I had
looked to sue him accomplish what he was so well
fitted to do what I know was the darling object of his
pure ambition to engraft the civil Jaw upon the ju
risprudence oi mis country ana thereby to expand
the Common Law to greater usefulness and a wider
adaptation to the progress of society.
Mr. Legare was a native of Sonth Carolina and
was grabuaied I understand at an early age atX3o
lumbia College. He proceeded soon after he left
that institution to Edinburghjwherehedevoled himself
wuu grcuiumgcnceaiju intensify oi study iq general
and classical literature. He then went to the" Conti-
nent and pursued the study of the Civil Law with
great assiduity and success and afterwards' returned
Jo South Carolina to practice ant became soon emi-
flentai ine par. o; mat state.
It is a most singularxir'cumstance. that eminence
in general literature should in the public mind da-
tract irom a man 3 reputation as a lawyer. It is an
unworthy prejudice forpertsinly the science of juris-
prudence may borrow aid as well as leceive orna
ment from the cultivation of all the other branches of
human knowledge. But Ine prejudice exists and
yet one would think that the public had witnessed so
many examples of men who were great scholars and
great lawyers likewise that the prejudice might beat
this day disarmed of so much of its quality' as is apt
to do injustice to the reputation of living men. Lord
Mansfield was a most eminent scholar in general let-
ters; but ho was also" unsurpassed in jurisprudence.
Sir William Blackstone was so elegant a scholar
that his Commentaries arc models of pure Eneliih
prosn; but they are none the less invaluable mine of
the Laws of England. Lord Sto well the friend and
Executor of Doctor Johnson was in various'attain-
inents exceeded by few; but hi3 knowledge of gene-
ral jurisprudence was greater than that of any'man
of his day. Some of the proudest names now on tne
English benchesare some of England's best scholars.
Buuhve as svell'as Here though certainly it is far
greater neTc the public prejudice almost denies to a
great scholar the right to be eminent as a jurist. Dr.

passing from the line of the argument nor loosing
sigm 01 ine came nis argume.niauqn was maiKca
by the closest logic; at the same" time he had a pre-
sence in speaking which I have never seen excelled.
He had a warm jricji Style but he had sno declama-
tion ; for he knew jhat declamation helongs neither
tothe jurist nof tie whojar.
It was only during the last summer that' he wrote
me that he intended to translate Heinrccius's Ele
ments; for he wished he said to entee the American
Lawyer to the study of the Civil Law. He added
that he bad nothing to gain by undertaking such a
work but that he would undergo the labor as a ho-
mage to his country. Knowing his eminent .qualifi-
cations for the' task I advised him to make the tran-
slation and to add to it notes of his oin so as to
iul.ip'uhc principles to the existing state of the Com-
mon Law; telling him that he would thereby confer
a benefit on his country which no man of the age
would be likely to exceed.
A few Years since he published a paper in the
New York Review on the Origin History and In
fluence of Hitman Legislationanu atlerwarus printed
it separately from that Review itself. Whoevor reads
tha' essay and I hope you will all read it will
perceive his vast attainments in the Common Law ;
but 1 who know his arguments know that he devoted
himself to the Common Law with a wise perception
of its defects and a purpose to ameliorate them with
the riches of the Civil Law; and I maj say of him
having seen his mastery of both systems of jurispru-
dence that ho walked with them triumphantly the
one m one hand and the other in the other hand in
the path of a great jurist.
Although he might have had other places in the
gift of Government as I have been told yet he
desired only the office of Attorney (icncrnl mid lie
desired that for the sake of the Law. Whenthere
fore the question is asked was he emintnt as n law
yer? 1 answer: no man more so Do you ask wha
was the secret of hi eminence? I answer it was dili
gence profound study and withholding his mind
from tho political excitements ot the day.
To mo his loss is irrenarabln. How few do 1 see
around tne of severe students in jurisprudence; willing
to devote their days and ninhts to the mastery and
improvement oi it as a great science; and looking for
the fame that comes of devotion like bis. ouch study
is not fanned by the breath of popular applause and
so it is rare tiut in him it shone most brilliantly. 1
pronounce him a great loss as one of the most valua-
ble lights of jurisprudence that it has been my happi-
ness to know': my misfortune to lose.
It was but the day before yesterday and before 1
had heard of bis death the newt of which met me as
I was going from iny own house that I had taken
down Cicero dc Claris Oiiloribus and had turned to
tne passage wncre ne Dcgms
"As I was leaving Cilicia to go to Rhodes I heard
of the death of Honensius." Hortensius the great
Roman lawyer so much and so justly praised by Ci
cero died as we ure to I J when his usefulness had
been completed. How diflerent from hnn who has
been taken from us" when we had just learned to ap-
preciate his inestimable value to the jurisprudence of
the country. To Cetbegus another orator Cicero
applies the remark ofEcnius:
Is dictus ollis popularibus olim.
liui lum vivtoant twmincs acqucccvum agilauanl
Flos delibalus populu
I say or the Attorney General not dclibatuspo-
puli; 1 say of him Flos delibalus juris
As 1 looked a little farther I came upon the pas-
sage which" by striking coincidence expressed what
has since been realized to my own feelings as the full
influence of such ilife; a life the only deep lamenta-
tion for which is that he had so little time to make
himself fully appreciated by the whole Republic. I
give you the English first' that I may afterward; give
you the more beautiful Latin. " Thoy'therclorcseem
to me to have lived both fortunately ac'd.happily not
only in other statesbut especially in ours who have
been permitted nol'mercly'lo enjoy authority and the
renown of action but also to attain the praise of
wisdom; whose memory and reputation in our
gravest and severest cares havo been truly grate-
ful whenever fn history we have fallen - upon
them.J
I dismiss the subject with the remark that the
Constitution has lost one'of its best friends; the Su-
preme Court one of its brightest ornaments: the coun
try an inestimable man whoso independence whose
public vfrtue whose rare endowments and whose free-
dom from all the arts of popularity gave full assurance
of a life of the highest value to thcState. To me
had my own career closed before his a single word
of praise from his lips could I havo looked back to
know it would have been as valuable a tribute as
from any other human being.

The Next Presipency. Wo see that the

for the office of the next Presidency and William E.
Jones of Gonzales for the next Vice PresiJency. We
cannot help subscribing to a good portion of the Stand

that paper that Judge Hemphill and Mr. Jones are
men ol integrity and richly merit the confidence of
the people of Texas.'
The Honorable William E. Jones so far as we

Santa Fe Traders. The Philadelphia Ledger
of the 30th May mentions that a trader from Santa Fe
had arrived in that city and expected ten others to ar-
rive in a few days to purchase goods for Santa Fe.

goods and have in thejr possession from $325000 to
$335000 in specie furs and gold dust. Their pur
chases include almost all kinds of goods that arc
usually made here and in New York. At Pitts
burg they bought on their arrival G3 wagons at
92UU a piece and seven coaches at 400 a piece.
They also purchased there harness 'iron glass
and tin ware." "
Navigation of the Colorado Ten flat boats
