GOV BISsELL. OF ILLINOIS.

For long years, this distinguished man
has been infeeble health. Even when elected
Governor, by the people Of Illinois, it was
doubtful whether he would live many weeks.
The last y.nrs of bis life were crowded with
physical pain, which he bore with fortituds,
aud with Intellect unclouded to the last.
Gov. Bbsell was Democrat OF the Silas
Wright sclool-honest, earnest, resolute.
He bore bng with its errors; he labored
hard to correct them but, finding that I'M
possible, ,r believing it to be SO, be left it
and Joined the Republicans. When death
closed his career, be was found in their
ranks, and fighting earnestly, as ne ever
fought, for its principles.
The dead are beyond our reach. They
hear not our voice, and cannot be moved
by our 4alogy. Through them, then, We
should SEEK to influence the living; through
them we should seek to plant in the actors
Of the day right principles, that which is
manly, and tells upon the race.
And, in this point Of view, Gov. Bissel's
life is fun of meaning-for he broke from a
party he loved because he believed that
party false to Constitutional liberty.
Nobody knows (save those trameled by
them,) the power Of sect and party. 1t
rules the stoutest heart-it binds the truest
and largest intellect-and he is hero who
snaps them in twain, and stands out for the
right. This Gov. Bissell did, and this 4
the 'glory of his life.' He fought in Mexi-
co as soldiers know how to fight; he met
the foe as if dangers were nothing, and the
peril of the ba,tle.strife plaything; but
the moral hcroism which caused him to tear
himself away from party and old party as.
sociations-to fling to the winds the power
which they possessed, and risk all be had
for the people and the rights Of the people
was higher. nobler, far. This is his life.
For this, will he live in the hearts of the
people.
Illinois mourns one Of her greatest men
the country will sympathize with her in that
Times.
