Alderman SAMPSON REsD seconded the resolu-
tione, fol0ws-Tpere seems to be little occasion
for any remarks 1t the presen: time frsn any mem
Der OF this Board The news Of the death of Mr..
Webster is now rapidly flying to the remotest ex-
tremity Of the country and the heart of this nation
is at this moment filed with the same feelings and
thoughts with which our own min ~ are Occupied !;
and these may perhaps be rs well expressed by ei-
lence rs by words. It seems to me to have been
among the most fortunate events OF the present
nicipal year that Mr. Webster received the unani-
invitation Of the City Council to address his
tation was accepted by him. We have reason
to think that this occurrence was highly CRATE
fnl to his own feelings, az it was honorable to
! the City Council and acceptable to the citizens.
! The opportunity then afforded to tho members of
this Board 0fpesenting their respects to him finally,
will always remain among their most cherished
recollections and tho citizens who we're present at
Faneuil Hall will tell their children and their child
ren's children, that they then saw and heard Dam
| lei Webster Gould we at that time have foreseen
how soon he would leave u.s. what solemnity, what in
tensty Of interest," would have been given to the oc-
| casiOn. The death, well rs the birth, Of dstin-
guished individuals forms epoch in the history Of
nat ons, and Of the world and l have sometimes
thought that there was tendency in the providen.
tial course of events for great men to cluster to-
getber in their death in their life However this
may be, the present year will be forever memorab BILE
in the annals of history for the death of distinguished
/ men men whose death caused profound sensa
ton, not only throughout their oTn country, but
/ throughout the world / need only mention the
names Of Henry Clay, the Duke Of Wellington, and
