feeling OF sadness ana desponuency seemed
to pervade all ranks OF the community extending
even to party opponents, for political hostility IL
self retires from the pursuit of its victim al the
grave. The sensation which this event has crca-
tie Il is most profound. Men lament his premature
decense as Il national calaniiy-nny, more, as the
bereavement OF II nearest and dearest friend. Tue
unanmny with which his nomination TO the hlSh
Office " hich he so accepnbly filled, was hrst greet
ed by the people - the unparalleled enthusiasm
with which he was supported Ivy them from the
commencement Of the canvass TO us triumphant
termination, have only been equaled Wy Tie deep
and universal regret experienced ut his umtmely
dissolution How lorciby does il bring back to
our memory the solemn reflections uttered by
Burke on an occasion not entirely dssnilar, "Whdf
shadOtps tcc are and lChdt shddotoS ice pursue" 1t
is indeed Il most grievouS Visllaiinl, But vain are
lunnvang regrets. The CHEF Of The Republic
is no more, and we can only apply to him the co
quent language Of Webster, iu relation 10 another
Of the Conscupt Fathers, " Human aid and human
solucc terminate at the grave; or we would gladly
have borne him upward on II nations cut-sprcad
hnuds we would have accompanied him, aud
with tho blessings of millions and the prayers oil
millions commended him to The Divine favor"
