due to the people of this State that Il testimo-

his service should stand imperishably upon
the public records.
Resolred, That to his uncalculating patriot
ism which tolerated no timorous service, or
hcsitating allegiance-to his unilinchng cour-
age in the darkest hours of the Republic; to
his comprehensive genius his tireless en-
ergy, and self-sacriticing devotion, under
Providence, the nation largely owes its pres
ervation from destruction ut the hands OF par
ricides That while we deplorc his sudden
departure with profound sorrow, our gratitude
is dcvoutly due to God that he gave us such Il
servant in the day of our national extremity
and spared him to fulfil his glorious mission.
That on the roll of national benetactors and
martyrs. with Washington and Lincoln, will
shine with unsullied lustre the name of Edwin
