St-:nor:A.\"r's SPEECHES.-—Til0 Journal of
Commerce says, a volume has been sent us,
entitled “Select Speeches of John Sergeant,”
in 367 pages, Svo. In the closing speech, oc-
casioned by Mr. Chilton’s Resolutions on the
subject of retrenchment; and reform, he takes
occasion to speak of the insufficiency of in_ere
inilitary talents to fita man for civil stations.
After illustrating this fact by appeals to histo.
ry ancientjnd modern, he proceeds :--.

peiidence‘of_ this our country ? Washing.

appeal to the world, and consuinm ited the

pendence, which Wasliington, clothed with
their atllllutly and bearing their commis-
sion, supported by arms. And what has
this band of patriots, of sages and states-
men, given to us? Not what Caesar gave
to Rome, not what Cromwell gave to Eng-
land, or Napoleon to France ; they estab-
lished for us the great principles of civil,
political and religious -liberty, upon the
strong foundatioiis on which they have
hitherto stood, and secured for us the sig-

One of the features which distinguishes
this nation from all those of the old world _
in jallpeiiotls of iheir.liistory,- is the rapid.
growth ofilie piincipnlicitics, and the in-
icrcdible increase of the popul-.ition_ in -al-
most everydistiict. In passing through
the ‘\Vesterii States, and obseiviiig the in-
dustry which is every where manifested,
the traveller imgines he is treading upon
enchanted ground, and that a superhuman
power has suddenly transfornied the des-
ert into cultivated fields and II'.)l'ISllll'lg
towns; peopled with happy and industii-
ous inhabitants, who feel the autliniity of
their government only in the benefit wli.
they receive from its hand. From Alha-
ny to Niagara, evezy object shows haw
much intelligence can do for man. Along
the banks of the Ohio, the =\'V'dl)ilSll, the
