The earth may ring, from shore TO Shore
With echoes of a glorious name'
But he whose loss our tears deplore,
Has Left behind him more than fame.
For when the death-frost came to lie
Upon that warm and mighty heart,
And quench that bold and friendly eye,
His spirit could not all depart.
The words Of FIRE, that from his pen
Were flung upon the lucid page,
Still move, still shake the hearts Of men,
Amid cold and coward age.
His love Of Truth, too warm, too strong,
For hope or fear to chain or chill,
His hate Of tyranny and wrong,
Burn in the breasts he kindled still.

benefit political party, our whole poIitica
fabric was made, from capital to baseuen
stone, 10 reel and toter; patriots and phiIan
thropists looked on with trembling horror, ex
pocting TO see topple in ruins the proudest anC
the last temple reared by human wisdom to hu
man liberty. But there were those who look
ed on unterrifed and unconcerned, "purrng
over sinister intrigues and petty stratagems.'
1t would benefit the party. There where none
of those honorable fears, "fears Of the brave
that the highest vhope of man might be extin
guished lorever-no one noble throb of fila
devotion, no trembling concern for the dan

played on his miserable game of party politics,
unmoved amidst the throes and bealings of u
convulsed and endangered State.
But, sir, if it is unpleasant to look on this
side of the picture, there is another of a very
different character. There has always been
IN our happy country talents and virtues which
have risen 10 the level OF the great occasion
that demanded them. 1t was so then. There
were men who, cleansing themselves from eve
ry selfish feeling, without which no man ever
performed glorious action, with singleness
and purity Of heart, devoted themselves 10 re-
storing peace and quiet to the country, and sa-
wing its glorious institutions, and they did so.
The petty intriguers, who had commenced the
