BROTHERHooD OF THE UNION. AT meeting
of Humanity Circle, No. |, brotherhood Of the
Union, held at their Hall, on Saturday evening,
August 3lst, the following resolutions were read
aud unanimously adopted;
WHEREAS, In the dispensation Of Ills Proyi.
dence, it hath pleased Gdd to invade the pre-
einets of our Circle, and take from us bJ the
hand of dtath, our much beloved brother,
SAMUEL LEcoMPTE, we deem il fitting that we
should give expression to our sense of heartfelt
sorrow and deep regret at the loss which we
have sustained, AMI assure his sorrowing reia-
tives of our unieigued sympathy with them in
their aillictng bereavement; therefore, be it,
Resoipfd, That by the decease of Brother Lc.
eompte, void has been created in our BROTHER
hood, which can never be filled His many yir
tues aud deep devotion 10 the great principles Of
our Order had endeaied him to us all, aud will
serve to enshrine him forever in our recolecions,
although, all that was once mortal, now sleeps
beneath the cltds Of the valley, ard his spirit
has winged its flight to the celestial realms above
Resotved, That his worth as n member of our
Brotherhood cannot be too highly estimated, or
his loss too deeply deplored we shall miss his
wise eounsels in the business relations of our
Circle, and his cheering voice in the hour of ad-
yersity. Ever ready to perform any duty that
devolved upon him-his value as an efficient
member Of an institution founded on the prInci-
pie Of sympathy with man in the trials incident
to human lie, is above all price. AS n friend
he was ever warmly attached to those with whom
he was in frateinal intercourse, aud, therefore.
our social circle has lost II bright ornament
that never failed TO shed n glow of happiness
around those with whom he commingled.
ResotVfh That We tender our sincere condo
lence to the relatives Of our deceased brother In
their hour of grief and anguish, md would
point them-for sources of consolation-to Him
who has promised to bind up the wounds of
those who are bowed down by sorrow.
ResoiOed Tint the charter be draped in
mourning for the ppnce of three months, in
token of respect for our deceased brother. aad
That copy Of the above resolutions be signed
by the officers and transmitted to his family, and
the same be published In the Delaware State
journal and Statesman and Delaware Inquirer,
