In the popular regard was secure, and every
where his death is sincerely mourned. Maine
was proud and with good reason, of her Illus

in the gift of the people, he never departed
from his frugal habits and plain manner of
living, but continued down to the close of his

he commanded universal respect; that his
townsmen reyered him, and that lis friend
ship was esteemed nigh honor, need not be
said here. The Boston Journal we'll says

none of more uncompromising patriotism and
