Of Virginia whose public services and personal virtues

at the advanced age of eighty -four years Our own
knowledge of him. being confined his official residences
in this city, goes sufficiently into detail to enable us
to relate to his and services in his own State
and hope that competent pen will perform
the task Of doing justice to his whole esmable charac-
ter We only know that he represented his native dis

Congress Of the United States during various terms

surpassed and weight Of character the result Of good
