Therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of the Hon.
John b. Baldwin, the Bench has lost counsel
lor unsurpassed in learning and abiity-th Bar
member standing foremost among the fore
most jurlsts, orators and advocates of Virginia.
His learning was profound and various, his in
tellect and perception clear. rapid, com prehen-
sive. He was able and powerful in argument,
and his efforts advanced by eloquence of high
order, frightened by wit always flashing but
never wounding-for his genial courtesy was
ever unwilling to give pain.
Resolved, That in the death of Col. Baldwin
the State suffers loss scarcely to be requited.
He was pre-eminently Virginian n his charac-
ter aspirations, feeling and tone--ready at the
call of his mother State to devote to her his
time, toll, service. and if it might avail her, his
life itself. In periods of public danger or emer-
geDcy the confidence of his people called him
into the public service-never in vain In all
trusts, in every situation, he was distinguis he'd
for great abilities, for the purest integrity, for
wise foresight and for most valuable aud effec-
tive public service. He. performed the duties
and cherished the affections belonging TO every
relation in life--lived loved and honored, dies
universally lamented-most deeply bv those to
whom he was nearest in blood aud affection.
Resolved That the Circuit Court of Wash
iugton, to whose Bar the honored dead belong
ed, be requested to enter these proceedings on
its records.
Resolved, That cory Of these resolutions
be transmitted to the family of the deceased,
and that they be, published in the Abingdon
Virginian aud the Staunton papers.
The above resolutions we're reported by Hon.
John W. Johnston, who prefaced them by an
impressive tribute to the memory of the deceas-
ed, and were seconded by Judge John A. Camp
bell, in an eloquent and feeling address Bev-
erly R. Johnston, Esq. also paid high tribute
to the memory of the deceased.
