But do injustice to the sentiment you have
expressed, as well as to him, to whom it applies
by dwelling upon a topic, which no American has
the capacity TO forget. Let me recall, for mo-
ment, to your recollection, an incident which
marks, with disinctncss, his true character.
To sare the country, it became necessary to
suspend the civil, and to declare and enforce the
martial law. In doing this, one Of the Judges
supposed the commanding General had been guilty
Of a contempt. The war over, peace restored the
supposed offender called into Court, to answer
Tor the offence. An answer was proposed, and
rendered, which it was supposed would Justify the
, act complained Of The Judge would not even
permit it to be read Perceiving the crowd to
manifest Indignation the apparent inj,stice,
he about to shrink from ilnicting bis medita,ed
blow, upon discovering which, the General al
dressed him TO the following effect. BE no,
alarmed: to secure the administration of Justice,
was one OF the blessings, for which we have toilcd
and bled- proceed. The game arm which defended
New Orleans, will protect you in the discharge of
your duty" This incident unfolds his whole cha
ractes. His love OF country the ruling motive
OF al his acts. In service he has been often en-
| rloyed and in It's various stations; and put the
question 10 the hole world, on wha, occasion did
he stop short OF the highest expectations formed
| of him?
| The majority of us have heard of his services,
and think we understand their ertent, but some
| toho are notc present, will attes, the truth of
what say, when state, that none but those who
shared his difficulties, tolls, and perils; none but
those who were witnesses OF his conduct, can es,i-
mate them at their true value.
| tender you my sincere thanks for the estimate
which you have been pleased to put upon them;
and ask the favor OF giving Toast, which know
both you and he will approve:
