1 Mr.. c. returned thanks In a few brief remarks
4 He said he had listened to the high eulogies Of
Mr.. Carlisle and Professor Macleod, on the char
acter Of the late Joseph Gales which had operated
strongly on his feelings; that he endorsed every
| more than forty years, and found him the same
| man in prosperity as In adversely.
Mr.. c. said he was Scotsman born, though

4 election or other public occasions, as evidenced
from the fact that few, indeed, held office under

councils OF the nation; that Scotsman President

country; He concluded by proposing the follow.
