WELL, late Postmaster at that place. DR..
Caldwell was among the earliest American
settlers of this state. Under the territorial
government he held several responsible Off
ces and Immediately after the formation of
the state government, he was elected Sena-
tor for four years from the county of Madison,
which then extended to the northern bounda-
~ of the state. On the expiration Of his term
of service, he removed to his late residence,
and was elected senator for two years from
the counties of Green and Pike, then includ-
ing the present counties of Morgan, Calhoun,
Adams, Schuyler, Fulton and Peoria. In all
his public employmcnts, and in the varied
scenes of private life, he deservedly sustain-.
ed the character of an inhexible republican,
and firm, able, and enlightened friend of his
country and Justly merited the noblest of all
appellations, that of an honest man.
Personal acquaintance with the excellent
lady, who is the subject of the following tri-
here given to her worth. We sincerely SYM

church of which she was an ornamental and
useful member. Ed, SPEC.
From the Missouri Republican,
DIED-On the 18th instant, Mrs. ANN Ma.
RIA Cam, consort of Hon. VIM. C. Carr, after
a short and painful illness, aged SO years.
In the death OF this most estimable lady, a
Divine Providence has called away one, whose
untmely and melancholy departure is, and
will be, universally regretted. Ifusefulness
in family relations, in religious and social du-
ties, constitute merit, it was eminently hers
If correct and established principles Of piety,
and morality, and an exemplary practice Of
them, are praiseworthy and estimable, then
hers was the praise. If the tenderness--the
the virtue, which so beautifully
distinguishes, and forcibly marks the female
character, could have exempted her from
death, in her meridian, her friends would not
nov mourn.
To her afflicted husband and children her
loss is irreparable-to her bereaved friends,
None ever earned-none ever
more emphatcally, the character of
a "wife"-nor as a parent, could human err
ring nature more faithfully and tenderly dis
charge those arduous and delicate duties. OF
her it may be truly said" Her children arise
up, and call her blessed-her husband also
and he praiseth her." And in the social ties
Of relation and friend, there was, nor is, none
more true-more tender-more constant.
When to these we add, that religion had shed |
is benign influence, and christianity its 60
over the life and conduct Of this la.
ly, well may all regret, that such loneliness,
'uch excellence. should be the victim of early
Heath. But the purity and goodness Of her

where, only, such goodness can truly exist, |
