served and with the Senate of which he was to the
f end a venerated member; it may never be given to
I another man, after such a career, to preserve even to
the last the full possession of those great faculties
with which he was endowed, and to carry on the
services of one of the most important departments
of the State with unexampled regularity and success,
even to the latest day of his life ;—these are cir-
cumstances, these are qualities whicn may never again
occur in the history of this country; but there are
qualities which the Duke of Wellington displayed
of which we may all act in humble imitation. That
sincere and unceasing devotion to our country, that
honest and upright determination to act for the be-
nefit of the country on every occasion—that devoted
loyalty which, while it made him ever anxious to
serve the Crown, never induced him to conceal from
the Sovereign that which he believed to be the truth
—that devotedness in the constant performance of his
duty—that temperance of his life which enabled him
at all times to give his mini and his faculties to the
services which he was called upon to perform—that
regular, consistent, and unceasing piety by which be
was distinguished at all times in his life—these are
qualities that are attainable by others, and these are
qualities which should not be lost as an example. Let
us hope, therefore, that while we render every honour
to the memory of the Duke of Wellington—while
everything that can be done by the Sovereign and by
the country to show how they estimate their loss
should be observed, let us not think that when we
have performed these services and rendered these
honours, our duty is then over. Let us all re-
collect that there was a man of whom this coun-
try was justly proud, and that among other qua-
lities we have those which it is within the power
of all to imitate, and which we may all endea-
vour to attain.—(Cheers.) This much I have said
—I could not refrain from saying it; I trust you
will excuse me for doing so, as the subject so much
occupied my mind. Perhaps lam the more justified
in saying what I have done, because there were few,
perhaps there were no persons, except the late Lord
Melbourne and myself, who could bear this testimony
—that however he might differ in political sentiments
with the person who held the chief office in the politi-
cal service of the State, he was as willing, as ready, as
forward in giving every assistance that he thought for
the benefit of the country to one who differed in poli-
cal opinions as he would have been to the dearest of
his political friends.—(Cheers.) And now, gentlemen,
let me again thank you for the honour you have done
me in conferring upon me the freedom of the burgh
of Stirling. I can only say that, as far as my bumble
