We arc constrained hy cur feel
irgs to render n tribute al respect
hnd regard to Mr., ilarncy's memory.
No death has touched ~ mare deep
" than his since \ beloved son per-
i.hed from the circle Of our house
holi. We knew him aud esteem
sd him highly aud were his personal
friend long bcfbrc h G became
our rival editor; aud, during all his
e,litorship Of nearly quarter Of II
century. though he was always, I'M.
ill = short time mast, our poli,icnl
opponent, and though We lad many
controversies with him. some OF the
violent and even bii'ey, the Kind
aud personal relations between him /
and Us were never, except for one
brief period, interrupted. Without !
being in all respects 50 great a
POLITICAL leader rs the greatest of /
&c., Democratic PREDECESSORS, Shad-
rack Penn, ho far transcribed that
eminent editor in some Of the best
qualities and powers of cditorship.
lie was brighter, n higher, more
star like spirit than Penn. His in
,cllrct was ola very noble order,
clear. quick. rapid aud penetrating,
lie saw with keen glance an d
graspcd with q strong hand the
heart Of his subject. His fertility
Of resource was cxhaustlcss. lie
couldtrcnt the most difficult topic
playfully and yet with the pro
funniest ability. His controversial
talent was n formidable weapon, but
no adorned with wit and grace, as
soldiers on holidays place roses in
muzzle of their muskets, His
dcnunciaiion, when reused to anger,
was ms caustic us frozen murcury.
Nv tepscness and --incisivepsss and
eigor Of style, cpigIamatic point
and keen antithesis, we do not
know his superior, hardly kis equal,
in all the American press. lie was
a brilliant ornMnent Of the editorial
professions.
Asa ,nmE Mr.. ITarnny was kind
and Just I'D i true in all the relations
Of life. Though somctiems gently
sarcastic in his heart was set to tho
music Of friendship. We do no
know that he ever had n personal
enemy, and VIC do not believe he
over wished i'll to any human being.
lie desired the good of all. lie had
his rcsentments, but they could not
long live in his nature. There was
no bitterness in his soul. All, many
an fink drop did we shed against
him IN Sifc, but only tears are shed
for him now. We offer our hearts
most earnest sympathy tn the be,
reaved ones of his estimablo and
highly talented family, whose love
