General Hamilton.—We are pleased to learn from the Evening Post, that the task, so long deferred, of writing a memoir of General Hamilton, has been undertaken by a gentleman of this city, fully competent to its proper execution, and that he is now engaged in its performance. This work will possess high interest in various points of view. It will constitute a deserved tribute to the public services of that eminent statesman, which the reputation of the country requires should be paid; it will illustrate those services in a manner that cannot fail of creating the warmest incitements to their imitation, especially in the growing generation; and it will afford a text book in political science, of paramount authority in the future administration of affairs. And, it may be that the postponement of the publication until this time, hitherto frequently regretted, will prove auspicious to the more general appreciation of the distinguished subject; inasmuch as the blinding heat of party, which once glowed with so much fervor, has given way to more calmness and liberality, or, has at least been diverted to other directions.—N. Y. Statesman.
