PRIOR: ONE PENNY

FROM A HERO'S LIPS.

THE BOLD YOUNG LAWYER AND OR ATOR, 6ERQEANT SMITH PRKNTIBB.

A Frail Emigrant Boy from New Bngtand, ■ Ha Atom to Distinction In the South* west and Charmed the Whole Nation with His Kloquenoe. [Copyright, 1682, by American Press Associa tion. Book rights reserved.)

URN the light upon two charac teristic scenes In ~ the Mississippi valley in the early half of the cen rtury. Late in au* ftnmn of 1827 a slender, lame and lisping emigrant boy of eighteen, Btepped upon the wharf at Natchez, . and with his bun dle under his arm strolled Into apop ular hotel and In- '

vested his "bottom dollar." according to the custom of the country, in treating him self and the landlord to the good things of life, and then declared himself an appli cant for a chance to earn his bed and board. Eighteen yean from the date of that incident a distinguished young law yer and public man of Mississippi re moved to New Orleans to find a broader field for his abilities. His departure from his old home at Vicksburg was signalized by a publio din ner, and he carried with him the regrets and well wishes of the whole people. His. arrival at the new destination was marked by another popular demonstration; a salute of twenty-six guns greeted him and a committee of citizens met him at the wharf to tender him the freedom of the city. The penniless and friendless emi grant boy at Natchez and the distinguish ed Mississippian toasted and feted at Vicksburg and New Orleans were one and the same—a crowded out New Englander who had anticipated the Greeleyan advice and floated west to grow up with the country. Meanwhile, between his lone pilgrimage into Natchez in 1827 and his ceremonious welcome at New Orleans in 1845, he had served a term in congress, had been his party's choice, and that of the populat will as well, for the United States senate, had carried off the palm for oratory in congress,,on the rostrum and at the bar, and that, too, in an age of orators, and in frequent travels from the Mississippi to the coasts of his native Maine the journeys had been turned into triumphal proces sions by the spontaneous uprising of the people to welcome and honor him, to see him and listen to his eloquence. Now Mississippi in the thirties was the last community in the Union to coddle a pre cocious and sentimental sophomore from classical New England. Its male popula tion was popularly summed up in two classes—namely, aristocratic planters and river blacklegs—and certainly it was neither brute force nor the magnetism of wealth and lineage that enabled the penni less and friendless Yankee stripling to sub due and vault over the one class and forge his way to the top through the respect and indorsement of the other. Neither was it luck nor phenomenal genius, but a courage of intense convic tions, that tipped that lisping tongue with fire and turned that stunted form into the figure of a giant whose frown was as the scowl of a demon and whose smile was as the favor of a god. Young Prentiss won his first case at the bar by an exhibition of courage like that of David. He had read law at Natchez while supporting hinmelf ky teaching in the family of a planter, and was retained in an apparently hopeless case In a backwoods circuit. When the case was called he entered a demurrer to some of the proceedings, and the judge coolly announced that he wouldn't allow argu ment on the subject, as his mind was al- . ready made up. Prentiss was a stranger to all the court, a beardless youth of-*tunt — ■ ed physique, and when the judge made that crushing ruling he modestly but firmly insisted that although technicalities were against him and argument could not change facts, yet the higher law of justice and fair dealing demanded that his client's case be heard, and it was heard, and in a speech that astounded the court-and all present he convinced the judge of his error ;and won the case. It was no accident that Prentiss' person ality had such power on occasions. His auditors would often call out to him dur ing a speech, "Look this wayt" Once he arose in a political meeting to reply to a foeman that put him to his mettle and whose argument had apparently taken the ground from under the feet of the opposi tion, leaving Prentiss no foothold to begin. An eyewitness said of the scenes "His -'hole soul was aroused; his high, smooth | v»- * *>«d fairly coruscated. He remained

silent some seconds and only looked. The bald eagle never glanced more fiercely from his eyrie; it seemed as if his deep, dark gray eye would distend until |t swallowed up the thousands of his audience. For an instant the effect was painful; he saw it ;ind smiled, when a cheer hurst from the admiring multitude that fairly shook the. earth," and the orator's cause was as good as won before he uttere&.a word. '. Prentiss leaped to the front rank of national orators at a bound, but It was not accomplished by trickery, nor was it the award of favoritism. He earned his spurs. Ie was in the so called contested election case of 1837, when he was twenty eight years old. He had been elected by ' Lhe Whigs of his district to the Twenty fiftn congress, and reaching Washington found his seat occupied by one who had been elected to a special session, but in tended to hold out for a full term. There were enough giants of the forum in con- ' sjress at that time to bring a lump into the throat of a young novice who had at heart a cause staked upon oratory alone. m
