eucccession of pamplucts under the assumed name of peter porcu pine written with great force and vivacity some of which were reprinted at the time in england he wns convicted of a libel aflaimi ur rush aod subjected to heavy damages in 1801 he returned to england and established a morning paper under the title of the porcuplnein which he warmly sup ported ml- pin- thut paper however soon failed andhesoon afterward setup the register which has been continued to the present time cobbett commenced his career as a public writer hi england under very favorable circumstanced he was pow erfully patronised by the ministry mr- wyndham went even bo fur in the house of commons us to de clare that a statue of gold ought to be erected to him hit health was drunk at tory dinners through out the isiqihl his letters on tno subject ofthe treaty of amiens produced a great sensation borh here and on the continent of this production it was said by the celebrated swiss historian muller that it was more eloquent than any thing that had appeared since the days of demosthenes it is ge nerally underwood that mr pitt gave offence in rome way to cobbett for on his return to power cobbett lost no oponunity nf attacking his ministry wilh great bitterness of mr whyndham he long continued to speak favorably but to him he became hostile from a church and u king man cobbett became in 1805 a radical in 1310 he was sen tenced to two years imprisonment in newgate and a fine of 1000 from an idea that he would be deprived of his liberty under an anticipated suspen sion of the habeas corpus act he left england for anilii i in 1817 whence he returned when the sus pension terminated it had long been a great objee c of his ambition to sit in the house of commons and after the passing of the reform hill he was returned for oldhami through the iulliicnce cjf mr fuller an extensive manufacturer attodmorden by his death a vacancy takes place for oldham we bae p ly noticed a few of llw iu micobbefalife in fact he has been continually before tho public du ring the last forty years and his register is so com plete a record of all that he has said and done felt and thought that there is no man perhaps of whom so little can be told that would be new to any class luulptt was pci imps the greatest egotist that ever lived and as everything that he did and every sentence that he uttered was important in his own estimation he is the constant theme of his voluiiii- ous writings it would be vain to deny that wil liam cobbett was one of the most powerful writers that england has ever produced he felt keenly and beerved accurately and he never failed to make a strong impression on his readers his lust register published on the 13th hist is as animated as his first american pamphlet published in the fujl tide of youthful vigor the wonder is how o man writing every day for upwards of forty years should uever ftvltiiriramji jpuuim ui cuiurics ur mumerence but communicate to his pages a constant interest as an advocate he was without an equal in that first of requisites the statement of a case hepar- ticularly euelled he instinctively seized on the circumstances which favored the views he wished to support and he seldom failed to produce thu impres sion at whigh he aimed what he could not affect by direct statement he attained by inueurio he was shrewd beyond most men and he could detect and expose a subterfuge mora successfully than most men uut after all cobbett was not a wise man we question if in the whole course of his life he ever set himself seriously down to discover the truth lie was a man of impulses win cobbett was the object towards which the thoughta of william cob bett were constantly directed changes of opinion with respect to all subjects all men there is not pcrhtp it qmatinu whh has not by turns advocated and opposed there is not a toot whom he has not by turns praised and a- course look to ihrs dumber for some partita of the close of my

he got older it enfeeble him more he was suffering from ooe of these attacks during the late spring and it will be recollected that when the marqiia of chandos brought on his motion swum repeal of the malt tax my father attempted to speak but could not make bis voice audible beyond the few members who aat round him he remained to vote on that motion aod increased his ailment but on the voting

and farming wished for four daya rain for the cobbett corn and the rootcrope ind on wednesday he could remain no lunger shut up from the lields but desired to he carried round the farm which being

result of a fickleness of disposition and that without this fickleness we should also have been without his freshness it is certain that it was always sufficient to be io the way of william cobbett to incur his enmity and become the object of his abuse as a reasoner in the proper sense of the word cobbeeti did not rankhiyh he never saw the whole of a subject aud his views were therefore always partial but give him a special case and he would make more of it than any man his illustrations were peculiarly forcible and whatever he had to de scribe he described well his rural ride con tain perhaps the best descriptions of english scene- ry that ever were written hi description of rural fe in pennsylvania when he left england in is17 arealso admirable being an accurate observerhie language was always graphic his style waa always racv and idiomatic in his earlier productions he was somewhat declamatory indicated a famill- arily with french writers as he advanced in years his language and style became more saxon though cobbett upon the whole wasn good speaker he was not a good debater and therefore was not in his element in the house of commons he could get on well enough with a lecture when he had all the talk to himself but he could not bear opposition with temper and he had not a command of resources sufficient for the exigencies of a discussion what he might have been if he had entered parliament at an earlier period ol his life we know not but he wa evidently too old at seventy to cut a figure as a ready speaker he nnideone or two good speeches but he repeated himself and always made the same speech toaceitam extent indeed his register was liable to the same charge of sameness bat his happy illustration and descriptions made you forget that you had
