GILBERT FULLER.
When a man, eminent for his talents,
revered and beloved for his private virtues,
and conspicuous by having discharged the
duties of one of the highest offices of our
government, for a series of years, with hon
our to himself and usefulness to his cun
, try, has paid the debt of nature—there can
">e no heed of an apology for calling the at
tention of his fellow-citizens to his charac
ter; or even in presenting it to their view
as a model worthy of imitation. On an
nouncing, with painful sensations, the de
cease of the Hon. William Cushing,
we believe the propriety of the application
of this remark to him is fully evinced. To
offer consolation to his relatives and friends,
or to dilate on those private virtues which
have embalmed his memory with their
tears, is not, however, our present pur
pose ; but to give a few notices of a life de
voted, for half a century, to the service of
his country.
Judge Cushing was horn at Scituate, In
the month of. March, 17S!t—3, of parents
distinguished for their virtues, and respect
able by their descent from the first settlers
of the Colony. His father and grandfather
had been, successively; Judges of the Su
perlour Court of this Province, and Mem
bers of the Council. Placed under a wor
thy private instructor, he discovered a pre
cosity of genius which, at that time, in the
opinion of his friends, indicated his future
eminence. Having soon passed through the
preliminary studies, he was entered a stu
dent at Harvard College, and graduated
there in the year 1751. From this Univer
sity he afterwards received the degree of
M. A. and a Doctorate of Laws. Destined
for the bar, he immediately commenced the
study of jurisprudence, under the direction
of that'celebrated lawyer, J. GbiDlkt,
Esq. and at the expiration of the usual term,
was sworn in an Attorney. 1n4769, he was
called to the. degree of a Barrister; and
The following Lines were spoken at Oxford
at the Installation of Lord Gieuville.
1 n ancient Greece, the candidate for fame,
First tried his prowess in th* Olympiek Game,
And as he proudly claim’d • the' well-earn’d
days,
His bosom heav’d a sigh for nobler praise;
Then soon, at Freedom’s call he rais'd his
hand,
And shone the champion of his native laul.
Oxford, *tis thine, like Elis to impart
The spark of glory to the Patriot heart.
O’er cloud-capt rocks the eaglet learns to soar,
While her fond mother proudly sails before i
So led by thee, and taught to feel their weight,
Thy sons become the guardians of the State.
Thus memory tells, that he thou honourest
most,
England’s but hope, and Learning’s proudest
power |
And while these walls with loud applauses
Tall them these studies made thee what thou
art,
These rais’d thy intellect sntl form’d thy fie art.
Then when thy bright example they commend,
And both Britannias hail thee as their friend,
Let Oxford share the splendour of thy name,
And with her Gbenvillb live in deathless
fame.

While every voice re-echoed Grknvillz’s

Fair was the presage of the auspicious hour,
When laurel’d Genius sang the Electrick*

Rank, virtue, talent, on each accent hung i
Then Hope exulting said (or seemed to ssy)
’Tis but the dawning of a brighter day ;

To crown the honours, and increase her own,

The scene of high desert thy life unfolds,
And smiling views the lustre thou has-shed
O’er parent Oxford’s venerable head.
If sophistry usurp the throne of thought,
And dare to ridicule what wisdom taught;
If cities, worthy of a Vandal age,
Deny the magick of the classick page ;
With wonted ardour to the combat baate,

Bursts with meridian glory on the sight;

FROM THI PALLADIUM.
portrp.
Al the organisation of the Federal gov
ernment, Judge C, was selected, by the im
mortal Washington, from the multitude
of his brethren, to administer justice to the
Union at large, and to add stability and
dignity to our own government. In thia
extensive sphere it was tliat his talents re
flected the greatest lustre on himself, and
were rendered the must subsen gpt to the
good of his country. And, in discharging
the duties of this station, he continued to
employ his undivided attention until near
the close of bis life, which terminated on
the 13th instant. Although nature hud, a
few years prior to his death, pointed out to
him the propriety of withdrawing from of
ficial cares, yet, owing to that niggardly
spirit of economy, which affords to the of
ficcra of government salaries scarcely ade
quate to their subsistences he had been un
able, during the course of a long
career, to set apart, from in
come, a sum sufficient to support him In
private life. Still, conscious of the impro
priety of retaining an office when his abili
ty to discharge its duties had ceased, and
having waited in vain for government to
make provision for their worn out officers,
he had prepared a resignation of his seat
on the bench. But the great Arbiter of
Evehts anticipated his intention, and g tvp
him his final dischaige; and, we trust,
that he has now gone to reap, in Heaven, i
that rtwaid, for hi* long and faithful ser
vices, which had been deukd him, by his
countrymen, on earth.
, 4 *
after practising at the b »r for a number of
years, with great reputation, he wbr ap
pointed Judge of Probate for the county ot
Lincoln ; and in 1772 he received • com
mission as one of the Justices of the Supe
riour Court.
During this critical period in our coun
try’s history, he alone, among those then
high iu office in this Province, continued
faithful to the interests and rights of hie
native land, in opposing the assumption of
unlimited power over the Colonies by the
Legislature of the mother country. But \
he never suffered this opposition to sway
his judgement in the administrualon of jus
tice; and, without sactificing his opinions,
his conduct was always marked by such
suavity of manners, that no exception to it
could be taken by the Tory or the Whig.
The interregnum «hat occurred between
the dissolution of the Provincial govern
ment, and the establishment of a new one
by the Provincial Congress, Was of short
duration. The necessity of re-organizing
the judicial department of the government
soon became evident to the Members of
this Congress; and, pursuant tu a previous
resolution, Judge C. was, with universal
satisfaction, among the first to whom the
administration of justice was confided. Mr.
Adams, the late President, declining to
accept the appointment of Chief Justice,
the office was conferred on the deceased,
in November, 1 1777. By the learning and,
integrity with which he presided on the
bench, during the unsettled state of our
country that ensued, the Supreme Court
attained a character for impartiality and
knowledge, that foreigners, as well as our
own citizens, resorted to it, with the most
perfect confidence, for a redress of their
wrongs.
.Averse from political conflicts, and be
lieving that the purity oi a Judge ought to
oe unsuspected, he ever kept afoit from
deliberative bodies, except when choteu a .
member of that convention which formed
>Ur Constitution ; in which hr acted aS
Vice-President, and exetled bis influence
in favour of its adoption.
From the revolution to the formation of
the Federal Constitution, Judge Cushing
bent the whole faculties of his mind to
wards conforming the principles of the
common law to our changing circum
stances ; and he employed himself, with K
much success, in setting our judicial code
on a firin oasis. This was, indeed, no ordi
nary task. It required a genius, compi c
hetisive as his, to embrace, at one view,
the general syfitem, and at the same time
to enter into an analytical detail; to per
ceive the defects of the ports, and provide
remedies that should not endanger the har
mony ot the whole body of our jurispru
dence. It is, however, the fate oi the law,
that the celebrity acquired by such useful
and labot ious, though honou> able t xertiona
is confined within the same limits which •
bound our juridical institutions—seldom, if
ever, extending beyond the knowledge of
its respective professors.
To the encrgetick conduct of JudgtfC,
supported by his brethren, arc we, in a
great measure, indebted fur the establish
ment of the supremacy of the laws, and
the ex iuguisliment of the flames of a re
bellion,-which was on the point of reducing
to ashes the fair Temple whose
foundations had been cemented o*the best
blood ui the Heroes of the Revolution. '
