| mourn him not only as a person
al friend but as public man who
would do right though the heavens
might fall, and there are not many
such left. Few men, public or pri-
vate, have ever lived in Vermont who
were more esteemed by those who
are capable of estimating character
above wealth or office, and truth
above party, than he was. Though
still comparatively young, he had
done the work of long life. The
gratitude OF friends and the Justice OF
foes will crown his memory with gar
lands But better than any need
from the world, he carried with him
the consciousness of fidelity to truth,
and he has left influences upon an
improved generation which will long
survive to call him blessed.
