needs to be reminded of the unrvallcd force of his
tongue and his pen in defending her most cherished
principles These monuments oihis political wis
dom must endure as long as the love OF country or
of freedom shall find place in THEN hearts But
at this moment, when his mortal career is lust
terminated, minds are irrcsstibl, drawn fom the
glory OF the orator and statesman to the merits of
the man-to that perennial cheerluncs IS which age
could not dim, and not even disease could over
cloud TO that dclicacv, and sua,v, and kindness,
