TRIBUTE OF A FRIEND.

TO THE MEMORY OF RICHARD BRENT.
BY the, de7th of the late Richard Brent,
Esq. announced few days ago, this coun>
try has been deprived of one of her most
able, upright and virtuous statesmen whe
during his long political career, has been
the invariabie advocate of liberty, and the
rights OF man, and whose public conduct
has been uniformly governed by motives of
tue most pure and disinteTested patriotism.
Early IN life, from a want OF health, he
abandoned the profession of the Law, TO
Which had he continued to devote his at.
tention his labors would have been crowned
with those rewards which always accom-
pany pre-. eminent talents and merit
Since that period he has served his Country
in various legislative capacities, and carries
TO The tomb the undiminished confidence of
his fcliow -citizeus. On few Of her sons has
nature bestowed her gifts with liberality
SO profuse: TO mind capable of profound
investigation, he united the embellishments
OF resplenden. imagination combined with
correct and elegant taste In cooversa-
ton as well as debate, his harmoniou. aud
polished elocution appeared the offspring
OF nature rather than the effort Of art. His
various and extensive requirements. trea.
sured up by tenacious memory, afforded
a rich fund OF information and amusement
to his friends, and we're dispensed to the
delighted circle, with suavity Of manner
ard fascination Of eloquence peculiar to
himself. If, as an accomplished scholar and
distinguished statesman, he commanded our
admiration, his moral qualities still more
entitled him to our esteem. An heart, ex-
banded with beneyolence aud the social vir-
tues, unsullied integrity, sincerity, and
ardor in his friendships, the practise Of the
moral duties--these are the qualities which
endeared him TO his friends, and will long
continue in their bosoms to embalm mis- me-
