The following is the eloquent peroration of Mr..
BALDwINs Eulogy upon General TAYLOR, deliver
ed in Richmond on the 18th instant:
ssAnd shall the time arrive when you must travel
through the world and meet that flag; and when
neither shore shall its meteor gores" fall upon
the wanderers eye when the American shall pass through
the world worse than orphan, man without country
Must ever be condemned feel that the national structure
which dwell is not the which built by the apostles
of American freedom, and cemened by the blood Of its
tyrs not the of which Washington laid the
sone and of which jefferson and Madison among the
chief architects not the which illuminated by the
wisdom Of Marshall and echoed the thunders Of Henrys
eloquence not the FIRST TEMPLE which stood upon the
Mount Zion of American Israeli its magnificent altar
cleaning through clouds Of patriotic incense and the heaven
enkndled fire Of Freedom burning forever upon its shrine
no. not this Temple. but humble edce without al
tar priest like that in which the disconsoate Jew
his lost Jerusalem, and hanging his harp upon the willows
excaims, How can sing the Lords song in strange
land ~ And must not only give up my portion in the flag
and history Of my country but yield my interest in
any of the consecraed spots of this loved republic Must
stand Bunkers Hill and Lexington and be known as
foreigner Must the Of the North press the sod Of Mount
Vernon and mournfully exclam, this is longer my
country Must the world enquish its only raying ground
OF free principles voice rises from the oppressed millions
OF Europe: Take not away from only city of refuge
From dungeon vaults and from the ashes Of holy martyrs
cry Destroy the only home Of religious liberty
From the ruins of ancient republics, melancholy notes of
warning float on every breeze From the batlements Of
Heaven the spirits of fathers bend in solicitude, and
mourn, grief can enter heaven that they have human
tongue to arrest mad From the grave Of Taylor
voice seems to utter those halowed wordsthe Constiiu
on the Union Let but that voice be heard, and Taylor
will not have died in vain Let but his example be regarded
and from the tears nation sheds bow will spring
beautiful than that which glowed above his cold remains up
whose radiant arcb Peace and Charity, those brightest
angels at the throne Of God will descend heal the wounds
Of an afflicted land."
