Having assembled near the. place of inter-
ment of our respectable and much lamented
friends Nathaniel Pope, Esq. and Col. Har-
din Burnley, and impressed as we are with
the deepest regret for the untimely fate of
the one, and death of the other, as also the
deep sense, which we entertain of their very
many virtues, & splendid talents; we cannot
forbear uniting in IN expression of that sim
cere and heartfelt regret which has been
produced in the bosoihs of us all, for the loss
OF two citizens, VINO possessed in so eminent
degree, such talents, patriotism and so ma :
ny amiable qualities of the heart.
ResoiOcd, th-reforc, that we deplore the
loss Of Nathaniel Pope Esq. and Col. Hardin
Burnley as national calamity; we consider
that in them Virginia has lost two Of her
brightest-sons, and society It's greatest orna-
lnents.
RESOLVED. That the widows and orphans of
the dercascd, beittS thus deprived of their
husbands and fathers. have excited SYM
patty which we cannot describe but when
we-say tears, Other than theirs have been
shed for the deceased, we hope, that in ad-
ditiop to doing justice to our own feelings, or
the occasion, we may administer to them,
the greatest comfort and consolation that can
be bestowed
Rescued, That when we reflect that cur
friend and fellow-citizen. Nathaniel Pope.
hath fallen victic, to that practice, which
custom, more imperative than law, seems to
which we greatly deprccate-That melau-
cho,y gloom which has pervaded our settle
n;ent. seems from this cause to have been
greatly, very greatly increased
Resokved, That as a testimony of our re-
greet, for the loss of these distinguished wor-
thies. we will, for two months, wear crane
Oh the left arm.
