The late Senator's fortune was large
and he dealt i. out with boun,ilnl hand.
In him, The oppressed, the widow, and
! the orphan had friend. He was an az
!, feclionaie husband, a fond parent, a true
and devoted friend; last, though not least,
liberal and merciful master. Though

!. having long and intimately known the
deceased, trust may be allowed TO bear
n testimony to his high character and good
moral worth, both as public man, and as
private gentleman. In every relation oil
l'fe, the conduct of Mr.. Foreman, has ever

e competent and faithful. Without fear

and a devotion rarely equalled aud never
. surpassed.
T. But, Sir, those only who knew him in
