Death of Senator Fairfield.

The Hon. JOHN FAIRFIELD, Senator
from Maine, died in Washington city on
Friday, the 24th ult., in the 5lst year. Of
his age. 10 the morning Of that day says
the Union, he had received his friends with
his usual cheerlu;ness. At noon he SUBJ
mitted to a surgical operation for on mfr.
nifty in the knee, which had for some time
afflicted him, But, his physical strength
being unable to sustain the suffering which
follwed the operation, he only survived un-
til the evening, when he calmly resigned
his breath. Senator Fairfield was EN-.
phatically q selfmade man. By his own
industry and exertions, he acquired an ed
ucation, studied law, and at an early day
took rank among the first Of his profession.
q His public career, though not long, was
brilliant. The Office Of reporter Of the de-
cisions Of the supreme court Of Maine, two
elections as member of Congress. four
elections as the chief executive Of his ma.
tive State, and two elections to the Senate
Of the United States all within the short
period of twelve years--were the rewards
of his worthy and generous aspirations.
His whole life, both private and public,
evinced an uhwavering devotion to Justice
and TO the great principles of popular
rights. He has left behind his example, his
character, and the influence Of his actions;
and, in his sudden death, the admonition is
again reiterated, that "public honors and
exalted station add no strength to the ton
ure by which life is held.''
