But this, also, is the glory of Washington. The power ot his personal character, his penetrating foresight, and the wisdom of his 1 elements that threatened to ov whelm tke mighty undertaking, are all unparalleled. ‘*Nothing but har- mony, honesty, industry and truga tv,’’ he said to Lafayette, ‘tare nec- essary to make us a great and hap- py people.’’ But he was not a man of phrases nor did he suppose that government could be established or maintained by lofty professions of | virtue.

But no church ever canonized by the national affection, and to no ancient hero, benefactor or lawgiver, were divine honors so justly decreed as to Washington the homage ot the world. With the sure sagacity ot a leader of men, he selected at once, for the highest and most responsible stations the three chief American who rep- resented the three forces in the na- tion which alone could command success in the institution of the gov- ernment. Hamilton was the head, Jefferson was the heart, and John Jay was the conscience. Washing- ton's just and serene ascendency was the lambent flamc m which these beneficent powers were fused; and nothing less than that ascendency could have ridden the whirlwind and directed the storm that burst around him. Party spirit blazed into _furv. John Jay was hungineffigy. Ham- j1lton was stoned. Insurrection rats- ed its head in the west. Washing- ton himself was denounced ; and sud- denly the French revolution, the ghastly spectre rising from delirium and despair, the avenging tury of intolerable oppression, at once hope- ful and heart-rendering, se1zed mod- ern civilization, shook Europe to the center, divided the sympathy of America and, as the child of liberty, appealed to Washington. But the great soul, amidst battle, and deteat, and long retreat, and the sinking heart ota people. undismayed, was not appalled by the convulsion of the world. Amidst the uproar of Chris- tendom he knew liberty too well to be deluded by its mad pretense.
