en man, long limited to his family circle, burst forth in the evening of his life with the zeal and fervor of the martyr. His last pub lie letter to Com. J. D. Elliot relative to the pompous Sarcophagns tcndered to him for the burial of his body, breathes the language of the potrlot, the statesman and the saint: "l have, says he, prepared an humble deposi- tory for my mortal body, beside that where in lies my beloved wife, where, without any pomP or parade have requested, when my God calls me 10 sleep with my fathers, to be laid for both of us there to remain until the last trumpet sounds to call the dead to Judg- ment, when, hope we shall rise together clothed in that heavenly body promised to all who believe in our glorious Redeemer, who died for us that we might live and by whose atonement I hope for q blessed immor- tality."

 Thus have glanced at the great cardinals composing the character of this exalted states man. To the rising generation, and 10 their succeeding posterity we appeal for their cherishlng remembrance and uRdging per- Petuaion. We ask you not with the heathen to worship him us God we ask younot with enthusiastic lanaticism to idollze him as saint; we ask you not as menials to crouch before him as a monarch; butwe call upon you as free, enlightened, and rePub- llean people to revere bim as a sage, yener- ale him as statesman, and extol him as a warrior. Like the venerable Washington, in whose footsteps he trod, though his body Iall let his glory rise. Let sons yet unborn be pointed to his tomb, Dot as the Sarcopha- gus of an eastern monarch, but as the s.hum- hLc depository" of one of ColumBia's noblest sons. Let Mount Vernon, which has long stood as fhe depositorv of a solitary sage, ,,. I'd in the tomb of the Hermitage, a rival of it's glory.
