and act to a confiding and admiring
constituency who, more than all
others, except his immediate family,
will bemoan his loss. True to his
constituency; he was equally so to
his friends individually whenever
they needed his services. =.

meut will be greeted with unlimited
sadness by the people of the whole
country, to whom he has become so
well aud favorably known during his
honorable career as one OF Iennes-
see's greatest and ablest representa-
lives in the national legislature.
More especially will his death be re-
gretted by the people of the seventh
Congressional district to whom he
was SO closely allied, both POLITICAL y
and socially. A more faithful Pubiic
officer never lived a more honorable
or high-tOned gentleman never eX-
isted: a more true and loyal demo
erat never drew the breath OF life
All works which he undertook were
gell-doue in the fullest sense OF the

for whom he so faithfully labored and
TO whoce service he gave the best
wears sof his life, can never do the
honor to his memory It deserves, but
