Death Of John M. Gallagher,

It's our painful duty to announce the
death of JOHN M. GALLAeHER, Esq, Ed
itor of the Springfield Republic, and late
Speaker of The House Of Representa-
lives. He expired at his residence in
Springfield, on yesterday, at IL o'clock,
in the enjoyment of reasonable, religious
and holy hope of blissful Immortality
at peace with God--and in charity with
his fellow-men. Mr.. Gallagher was a
virtuous and upright man; an intelligent
conscientious Editor; an enlightened and
patriotic citizen; and an humble and de-
voted Christian. When such man falls,
the whole community sympathises with
his afflicted relatives in the fact that the
State and the Church, as well as the
family circle. have sustained common
loss not readily repaired. S. Jour.

PhiladeluhiaN Nortb American

1The PhiladelphiaNorth American,
,Ohig, holds the following language re-
specting Mr.. Clay's speech:
"At present, our only object is TO OBJ
serve, generally, that the speech is, as our
readers have found it, the speech of a
patriot and statesman, full of calm and
forbearing moderation to persons and par I
ties, pregnant with meaning and wisdom,
offering counsels of truthfulness in tones
of solemn earnestness, and breathing
throughout spirit ofdevoted love to the
Republic. 1t will be seen that Mr.. Clay
stands by the country, as he always has
done, and as the great party which he has
so long led has always done; and that
whatever his and its enemies may say, it
is the settled determination of the Wing
party and its long recognized leaders to
continue in their accustomed path of duty;
to sustain the country at all times and un-
der all circumstances, in peace and in
war; to sustain it as vigorously and devo-
tedly as the best ofits citizens"
