Hamilton, ALEXANDER, a distinguished American officer and legislator in the war of Independence, was born in 1757, at Nevis, W. Indies. While a student of Columbia College, at the age of 17, he published several e ays concerning the rights of the colonies, which were marked by vigor and maturity of style, as well as by soundne of argument. Before he was 19 he entered the American army, with the rank of captain of artil-Hamilton, in California , a village and township of lery; and by the time he was 20, the commander-in chief had made him his aid-de-camp, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. From this time lhe continued the inseparable companion of Washington during the war, and was always consulted by him on the most important occasions, After the war, Colonel Hamilton, then about 24, commenced the study of the law, and was soon admitted to the bar. In 1782 he was chosen a member of Congre from the State of New York, where he quickly acquired the greatest influence and distinction. He contributed greatly to the favorable reception of the Constitution, by the e ays he wrote, in conjunction with Madison and Jay, in the "Federalist." On the organization of the Federal government in 1789, he was appointed Secretary of the Treasury; and during his continuance in that office, about five years, he raised the public credit from the lowest state of depre ion to a height altogether unprecedented in the history of the country. In 1798, when an invasion was apprehended from the French, and a provisional army had been called into the field, his public services were again required; and on the death of Washington, in 1799, he succeeded to the chief command. When the army was disbanded, Hamilton again returned to the bar, and conm. N.E. of Fort Wayne. W. of Austin. Pop . (1890) 726. -A village of Shelby co., on the Sabine river, about 20 m.

His Lectures on Metaphysics have been published since his death, and these abundantly evince, that, whatever differences may hereafter agitate the schools as to the succe or failure of some of his speculations, his comprehensive grasp, his inexorable analysis, his prodigious learning, truth, and honesty of dealing with the adherents of every system, will secure a univer and lasting homage.
