excellence and beauty must strike every one who

Father of his country. II was my good fortune
to have seen him in the days of my boyhood, aud
his whole appearance is yet strongly impressed
my memory. The portrait you have issued

perfectly the expression as well as the form and
features of the face.''I And says SENATOR
