his personal character, and the universal esteem in
which they were held. All men give praise to his
manly and engaging qualites-his susceptibility to
the incest points of honor-his impulsive patriot
ism, which, at the first call of public Duty gushed
forth spontaneously, needless of responsibility and
without passing thought of the consequences to
himself-his gentle and afecuonate nature, and the
high-bred courtesy Of his manners, which charmed
all who came within the sphere of their influence
because they were felt to be the EN- oons of pure
and chivalrous nature. No man had more attached
friends; for it was impossible to know and not to
love the warm-hearted and courteous gentleman,
the daring and enthusiastic soldier, the patriot
without guile, and the citizen without reproach.
At his advanced age, his death will cause no sur.

feelings But wherever it is told, it will be received
with sentiment of deep regret and all the honors
which his countrymen can pay to their most
cherished dead, will be spontaneously Offered
