REMARKs OF COL. ORR

REMARKS OF COL. ORR.
The following extract is taken from tn
Proceedings of Congress in relation to th
death of the Hon. Charles G. Atherton, Sen
ator from New Hampshire. The remark
OF Mr. Orr are in so happy a strain and s,
well adapted ~ the occasion, that we ar
compelled to lay them before our readers:
MIR. SPEAKER:-I rise, sir, to second tn,
resolutions of my Honorable friend from
New Hampshire. have been participant
IN the Fluctuations resulting frem the politi
cal trumphs OF New Hampshire's sons; anc
now, when the heavy hand of afflic,ion sore
~ oppresses them, come to mingle my tears
WIN theirs, and to soothe their grief by hear
felt sympathy in their sorrow.
Ihe death of MIR. Atherton, SO sudden and
untimely-is well calculated to arrest oul
attention, and teaches us how precarious and
evanescent is life and its pursuits-Wher
the heart, with all its glowing Affections
the intellect with all its noble powers-are
coHgealed by the chilling embrace of death
what striking Illustration il presented OF
the emptiness of worldly renown and the
vanity Of earthly honor.
But yesterday he was i'm our midst, full
of life and hope and promise enioyinp
physical and intellectual yigor-modcstly
wearing the high honors of his loving and
beloved State--a brilliant Senatorial career
opening to his view-a proud intellect, en-.
richcd with the treasures Of learning and
experlence,--sustaincd by 4 confiding lust
constituency, and with the !audablc ambition
oil a noble heart fully gratiied, how hopeful
and promising to him vas the future!
But to day the scene is changed. The
hres oi his intellect arc quenchcd; his body
rs cold and lifeless; his future bightcd: and
all his hopes, and those of his cherished
friends, blasted. He is dead!
The living and dead statesmen of Me-.

pure sentiments ofjustice and constitutional
right, and whenever patriotism has den aud
