noble Roman, he wagod unccaslng warfare
against all who sought 10 desecra!e the altar OF Ma
tlOmal Union.

In burning words o! ruth that gave new laurels
10 his famG'
Chief Of StGlwnrls no never quailed In tho pres
cncc of u foe, and he knew no compromise with
the enemies of his country. "tle never betrayed u
| friend; he never struck an enemy in tbs back
Born at the time when his great prototype, An.
drew Jackson, was battling against the enemies of
people the fruits of every war for liberty, National
| independence and National unity.
"He wore his life away In eHgerneSS to save

Midst all the whirl and excitement of MS politi.
cal life he never forgot tho sacred relation OF
