not identified his name and fame by some
great national improvement, or some me-
lioration ofthe condition Of mankind. The
name Of Clinton belongs TO late posterity
not from his political career, though his
star so long influenced the tides Of party.
His popularity will be immortal, because
the effects of his labours will endure while
our nation has an existence and will come
home to the business and bosoms of men,
in the facilities OF education, commerce and
and internal commune alton, achieved by his
genius and perseverance. Our country has
not such another man to mourn for. twill
be long before another can arise to fill SO
large a space in the minds of our citizens,
or the feelings Of society. II is not our
purpose new to write his eulogy. or attempt
sketch ofhis character and labnurs. We
sympathize deeply with community which
deplores his loss a loss which will be but
felt more and more deeply, as the difficulty
of replac ing it, is experienced.
