| Ma. SPEAKER: IL becomes my unwelcome duty
| TO announce that another member Of this body has
been transferred from time TO eternity. On the 18th
| of November last, DIR. JosEPH n. PEYroN died at
| his residence in Tennessee. Re was my colleague,
and intimate friend. When left home, expected
| 10 meet him here, and renew the interchange Of a
mutual friendship, which was proud to know was
| deep and sincere. | also made the bearer to
| him OF messages of affection and friendship from
others. But, alas! on my way here, received the
sad intelligence that lie was no more! And now, in
stead of delivering messages of affection and friend
ship and interchangng salutaions to gladden. the
heart, am charged with the melancholy duty Of
moving for appropriate honors to the memory ofm
deceased friend.
DR.. PEYroN was comparatively young, and in
the full career of distinction for himself and useful.

added energy Of character and moral qualities which
gave him a commanding influence with those ASSOC
ciated with him, both in public and private life. He
was distinguished for frmness in what he believed
TO be right, and for mistaken integrity and purity
Of purpose IN all his actions. In proportion to his
noble qualities was the almost unbounded conf
dence and affection of his friends The hearts that
beat for him moved with no ordinary pulsation. In
the Senate chamber of his own State, and on this
floor, his clear and vigorous intellect, and the noble
and generous qualities Of his heart, had for him
an enviable distinction. His constituents was proud
Of him; and he stood among them without a rival.
| They had but recently passed on his conduct, and
renewed his commission with evidences of decided
appreciation. In his domestic circle he had the full
measure Of earthly happiness to heart like his, in
the unbounded affection of the accomplished COM
panion of his bosom, and the offspring Of their mu
tua love. His earthly cup was full--full of all that
makes life, for the present, desirable, and full Of all
that seemed to throw light and hope on the future

| DR.. PEYroN was one Of the best and most afrec-
tionate of husbands, of fathers; and Heaven in its
by he cherished objects Of his tenderness and asc.
ton. This must have been consolation to him in
dying hour and will be some consolation to those he
| has left behind him.
