81 am exceedingly moved by the
intelligence of Mr. Harrison's
death, for, Notwithstanding the late
discouraging reports of his condi-
tion, l hoped his life might yet be
spared. Not one of our country
men should for moment fail to re-
alize the services which have been
performed in their behalf by the
distinguished dead. In high pub
lie Office he was guided by patriot
ism and devotion to duty, often at
the sacrifice of temporary popular
ity, and in private station his innu-
ence and example were always in
the direction of decency and good
citizenship. Such career and the
incidents related to it should leave
deep and useful impression upon
every section of our national life"
