DE GEN. MCCLELLAN.

IN MEMORY OF GEN. MCCLELLAN.
Finley Stafford, Newark: AT a stated meeting Of
Lemert Post No. H. Nov. 4, 1885, the following
resolutions of respect were adopted The death of
our late comrade, George b. Mcclellan:
Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to call to
his long home Gen George Il. Mcclellan our late
cOnrade and former Commanders int Chief of the
armies OF the United States therefore,
RcsoIced by Lc,aert Post, No. Il, Department of
Ohio, that we have received the word of the death
of our gallant comrade and old commander with
deep sorrow and unfeigned regret.
ReS0Ired, That while mindful of his many great
services 10 his country, we recall in especial
manner his splendid military services in the field
in 1861 and 1862, and his magnificent ability in plac-
ing the organization of the Army of the Potomac
disorganized as il was by defeat on such a basis
that not only while he was its commander, but in
its subsequent career, 1t became of the finest
armies that was ever marshalled in any quarter of
the world or under any flag
ResOiced, That in his death our country has lost n
soldier who was peerless in his loyalty and truth:
of undaunted courage, answering patriotism and
of unblemished character, and to whom his coun-
trymen owe an everlasting debt of gratitude.
Resolved, That as a mark of respect his portrait
be placed upon the walls of Post headquarters,
duly draped in mourning.
ResoIred, That deeply sympathize with his
afflicted family in their great sorrow, and mingle
tears with theirs.
Resolred, That copy of these resolutions be pub
lished in the city papers and copy be presented to
Mrs Mcclellan.

CLOSING OF HON. ono. n. WILL
LIAM6 ADDRESS TO THE PI.
ONEER8 OF OREGON DE-
LIvERED AT OR0ON CITY.

Inexortable time is thinning the ranks
of the early settlers Of Oregon, and not a
few of them after long and useful lives,
have gone down to that silent valley in
whose mysterious shadows "the weary
are at rest" Happily goodly number
have been spared to meet and greet each
other upon this thirteenth anniversary Of
their society.
Venerable Friends You are represen-
tative men and women. You imperson.
ate the history Of this country for nearly
half century. You represent that har-
dy and fearless class of people who have
carried the banners Of civilization from
Plymouth rock to the Pacific ocean. You
meet to-day at a place repletc with stirr-
ing association. Forty years ago the
legislative committee, as it was then
called, assembled here to commence the
work of statuary enactments. This is
the birthplace of Oregon legislation. Here
is where government of laws for Ore
gan was inaugurated. There was no
procession, with music and banners, to
celebrate the day no slaves Of artillery
to distinguish the event. On the mar
row strip Of land below here between
the eternal rocks. overhanging their heads
and the overaowing river at their feet a
few plain men quietly assembled to com
mence business big with the fate Of en-
pire. Now as then the same rocks lift
their rugged btcws in Interchangeable Sc
repity. Now as then the same river
leaps with foam and mist and mufied
thunder down the steep declivities Of i,s
bed Now as then spring-timo brings
forth its flowers and the autumn yields
its fruits, but an the members of that
committee, your old associates and friends
have gone forever from our gaze. Your
