celebrated original :" and to Chief Justice fancy
of the Supreme Court OF the United States, who
says, "As Il work OF art its excellence and beauty
must strike every one who sees it, and it is less
happy in its likeness to the Father OF his country.

eracf iteness, representing perfectly the expression

ton Of the great original. President FILLMORE
