On the third ballot, they say, his nemin- ation will be made unanimous. The slaine and Sherman men laugh at this figuring, and say that while Grant will re- ceive something like 350 yotes on the first ballot, his strength will steadly decrease, and that he will be withdrawn after the second ballot.

PART FIRST. To the Editer of the Examiner.

Sir,—Good taste may truly be said to consist of perception, feeling, reason, and judgment: the taste of an enthusiast may sometimes be in erroneous, but certainly it is more worthy of attention than the cold spirit of criticism which reasens witheut having felt, and passes judgment, on beauties, or defects, merely by rule and line. Im judging of any work of art, we should guard against too implicit and ser- vile a respect for the opinions or prejudices even of those authors or critics who, in general, merit our assent. It is far more easy to discover the faults of a picture, er a bock, or a statue, than to be an author or an artist.

‘* La critique est aisee, et D’Art est ditticile.” Itis held by many that a copy or an exact cast ef an original bust, statue or group is, of necessity, inferior to the original. In point of durability this may or may not be the case, according to the material of which the copy er cast if made :

the associations connected with an original werk of a great master, of the olden time, cannot altogether be

transferred to any copy or cast, however, exact may be the resemblance. ‘‘ The Statue that enchants the Werld,” The Apolle Belvidere, the Laocoon Group, the Dying Gladiator, or even the modern Venus of Coneva, in her mirrored saloon in the Palazzo Pitti, have a persenal identity in the minds of all true lovers of Art; but a very considerable portion of this halo of attraction can be imparted to an exact imitation of the original. The idea first, and then the clay model, alone are oviginal, for nothing can be mere mechanic- althan the greater part of its execution in inarble. <A block drilled with héles of different depths, at different distances, ac- cording to the most mathematical accuracy of measurement, is hewn, by the hands of an ordinary mason, into the rough outline ef the figure intended. The artist adds those finishing touches which complete and animate the work, and which a cast, whether in bronze or plaster, can render, even to an hair's breadth; but for the durability and value - of the = ma-

the original, but will never make it exactly similar. Engraving may posses even an higher merit than the above observations

a

lent except the colour, Grandeur of design, accurate drawing, and unexceptionable judgment in composition, may be marred and ebseured by colours inharmonious with each other, muddy, faded, or otherwise disagreeable. A really good engraving ef a great original is preferable te a merely passable original painting. The art of Printing has multiplied the com- positions of the great, the wise, and the good, of allages. They who best deserve those titles must delight in seeing all ranks of inen enjoy so important a benefit at so cheap a rate as Printing affords. In Paint- ing or in Sculpture no artist need wish for a prouder or more glorious triumph than to see engravings er casts of his works* in the habitations of all classes of society, carry- ing with them the germ of intellectual Jand social improvement. elevaling the mind ef the shop-keeper to a knowledge of seme- thing, even in this world, above his daily pursuits; and keeping alive, in the poor laborer, that feeling for the good and the beautiful which is part of our nature," but is too frequently crushed by unremitting toil, andsunk in the love of mere animal gratification. My subject grows upon me, [ cannot compress what I have to say with- in the reasonable limits of one. article for your diurnal.

terial, why should the marble statue be held superier to the plaster | east? In sculpture, and ia the highest! department of painting, form is everything. | In painting, the idea first, and then the} rough sketch, is formed ; but its transmis- | sion to the canvas is much leas mechanical | than in sculpture. (Every touch of the; artist's pencil, is the result of a sustained | idea, not only in the general design, but! in every particular part. Hence it is that | a really good engraving of a pieture is gen- erally preferable to a copy by another painter. The design, drawing, expression, and management of light and shadow, may | be rendered with exactness and spirit, by a | first rate engraver: but those niceties of | handling which are perceptible in coloring | can never be successfully rendered in any copy. If the copier be a mere imitater, be will find that a really good original work is beyond the reach ef his mechanical skill ; if he be an artist,werthy of the name, he
