In war, his eye at . glance discerned his
plans with unerring sagacity; in peace,
he proposed measures with instructive
wisdom, Of which the inspirations were
prophecy. In discipline stern, in Just
resolution infiexible, he was full Of the
gentlest affections, ever ready to solace the
distressed, and to relieve the needy; faith
fal to hisfriends, fervid for his county,
Indifferent 10 other rewards, he aspired
throughout life to an honorable fame, and
so loved his fellow-men, that he ionged to
dwell in their dtfectionate remembrances--
Heaven gave him length Of days, and he
filled them with deeds Of greatness. He
was always happy; happy in his youth,
which shared the achievement Of our ma
tional independence: happy in his af,er
years, which beheld the valley Of the IN est
cover itself with glory Of Tree and ever
increasing States; happy n his age, which
saw the people multiplied frsn two TO
twenty millions, and freedom and union
make their pathway from the At'aalic to
the Pacific, thrice happy in death, Tor
while he believed the hbertes.o of his couil-
try iinperishable, and was cheered by vis-
ions Of its constant advancement, lie depar
ted from this life infuli hope of a blessed
Immortality through the merits and atone-
ment Of his Redeemer.
