Be was o reformer in the best sense
Of that much-abused term, for wherever
be discovered dishonesty in public
life be attacked it with such vigor that
it seldom, il ever, survived the onset.
1.-THE people Of this republic, in recog-
nition of bis pre-eminent talents and
abilities, by large majority of the
popular vote. and as claimed and now
generally admitted, majority of the
electoral college elevated him to the
exalted position Of President Of the
United States. The fact that he was
not permitted to occupy the Office, and
the additional fact that the expressed
will Of the people was nullided
by proceeding unprecedented
in the history of this country, in
hich, although convinced of the in
Justice done the people and the wrong
perpetrstcd against himself, he acqui-
esced for the sake of peace, proclaimed
him a disinterested patriot, willing to
sacrifice his personal advantage for the
public good, and endeared him to every
honest citizen and every well-wisher OF
bis country and its free government"
