We extract the following beautiful tribute TO the mem
DRY of Mr. Wright, from the Florence (Aa) Gazette
The outburst OF sorrow which is thus poured forth
from the bosom OF southern editor, evinces the truth
that the ilustrious statesman whom country
was as firm in the confidence, and loved in the afec-
tons OF the people of the SOUTH in those OF the north
There was but one question: perhaps, IN which there
were shades OF opinion between MIR. Wright and the
democracy of the south The tribute thus ferventy paid
to the virtues of the amened Dead assures us that his
memory will be long and fondy cherished by those who,
though they dwell beneath southern sun, have hearts
whose sympahies do justice the true American
wherever he may have found his birthplace, his home
his grave.
