Thousands Of people who remember his
valorous conduct IN tho war with Mexico
and IN the struggle for Southern indie
peudence, who admire his honesty of pur-
pose and frankness OF manner. and who
recognize his great abilities and faithful
services trust that manyiyesrs of life may
yot be spared him free from such suffer-
ing as he has long endured.
