most impressive tribute to his worth The long array OF
mourners on foot told an earnest tale OF national loss

with the principal officers of the natonits senator's its
representatives, and its citizensa intent to evnce
cee respect to the memory, and for the loss
one suddenly Withdrawn from the councils of his
try where his purity of purpose and patriotism were ever
respected, even by political opponents
1t had been the request of Governor Fairield's most
heavily afflicted family that his remains should be sent
on, TO be entombed in the family vault at home This
desire was sgnifed, by telegraph from Maine, the
committee OF the Senate appointed to celebrate his obse
qules here Hence as announced by this paper the une

from the late lodgings Of the deceased through Pennsy
vana avenue, clad in snow to the railroad depot where
the coffin was placed in charge of the Hon Franklin
Clarke member from Maine, to return his remains to his
while living, and will mourn him dead
We know not when we have been more impressed
with the solemn effect of funeral procession 1t
not alone that knew the worth of the deceased-hat
we remembered the enthusiasm which pervaded the
whole nation at Governor Fairhelds firm and patriotic
stand when England was thought to have invaded the
soil OF Maincthat we vividy recollected the moment,
OF patriotic excitement in the House OF Representatives
which gave Mr. Van Buren,, the President. fifty thou
sand and ten millions of dollars to second the call Of
this Governor Fairfield should British troops tread
the soil of the State Of Name of which he then chief

sincere was that tribute which commnged the wise and
the good of all parties-the exalted in station and the
humbest in statonin this most impressive republican
demonstration OF respect TO worth and patriotism
