From the Kentucky Reporter.
MR. OGILVIE.
Every thing which relates to this most extraordinary man excites the most lively interest in the western country. His eloquence had commanded unbounded homage—his philanthropy and benevolence universal admiration. To Kentucky however he gave a new bond of interest—and exchanging the costume of the rostrum for the garb of the private soldier, volunteered his services upon one of our campaigns against the savages of the North.
Fortunately for society this campaign arduous in duty, and painful in privation, restored Mr. Ogilvie to good health. It so invigorated his constitution as to enable him to pursue that course of study and application, which no doubt contributed much to the splendour and usefulness of his subsequent career.
The annexed publication shews the success of his first effort in a course of lectures upon oratory, and is a guarantee that to his fame as an Orator he is to add that of the Philosopher and Lecturer.
We sincerely hope Mr. Ogilvie will extend the benefits of his labours to the West. No where could he be received with more cordiality—No, where could his talents and usefulness command greater admiration.
