The remains of Gen. Breckinridge, as
we learn from the Lexington Press,
were on Wednesday last removed from
the vault in which they had been tenn
porarily placed at the time of his fu-
neral, and inferred in family lot re-
Gently purchased in the Lexington
cemetery. It is matter of regret with
us, and with the citizens of Frankfort
generally, that they could not have
found their final resting plaza in our
beautiful cemetery. The name and fame
of Gen. BreCEinridge are so identified
with The state, and are SO nearly the
property Of tho commonwealth, that it
seemed fitting that his sdustshould mingle
will that of his comrades in the Mexi-
can war, and of the other honored dead
whose graves q grateful people have
fondly eonsecrated with their love. In
deed, whatever may have been Gen.
Breekinridge's later expressione, we
have reason to believe that it WAS his
long cherished wish to be inferred here.
To the writer, when on q visit here
nearly a year before his death, while in
the cemetery admiring the beauty of
the scenery, he said, "Do you know ]
have always wished to be buried here ?"
When we replied we did not know it,
but, ON the contrary, had supposed he
would prefer Lexington, he said, NJ,
I have always wished to be buried heFe,
and I want you to bear it in. mind. -, E0

None are delicate enough, none perfect
