llc.n Constitution. the chief advocate 9. every
measure 0: beneficial and protective legislation,
the rnchansing and dauntless opPoser OF tyransy
and corruptiop. our ever-fathu and heroic leader,
chief and friend-to you, with sincerity and DIS
interestedness now above suspicion, we renew our
vows Of fidelity IN this peculiar moment; and NH

Though the people, the couatTy and the world

which could have been yours IN actua! triumph,
free from the weighty responsibilities which would

When the appalling result was first known mere,
many, unused TO the melting mood, shsd bitter
tears for their Countrys dishonor, and sroaned IN
sad appreciation of the dangers and woes inpend-
Ing and now already falling on the Nation. Grey
haired Age and strong Manhood, and Beauty and
youthful Hepc-all sttested common feeling OF
the Countrys misfortune by the same touching
manifestations of sorrow. Il was many a" chIlds
first grief" fathers and their children wept to-
geiher Inc death OF patriotic hopes which had grown
and strengthened throughout the lifetime OF both.
Even merceHary lbelers and deceivers forgot their
base triumph for moment, ashamed OF their VIC
,ory and afraid to boast, and stood silent IN the
full consciousness of the evil wrought by them,
Ike the murderer over the welterlng body OF his
victim, with the bloody weapon OF death trembling
in his grasp and they vainly sought 10 plead with
the grief thus excited, and to extenuate their own
shame" their consciences meanwhile accusing
or else excusing one another"


The testimonials of your worth and OF people S
grateful remembrance, derived from these impas-
stoned tokens OF feeling, are not to be outwelghed
by the vain privileges OF an Office which has been
discraced BY the incumbency of some Of the worst
and mcanest of men. The treasures OF an eraplrc
aud the dominion of throne could not have
brought TO their posSessor honors nobie offerings
so precious, or devotion so faithful and enduring.

achievements; and the emblazoncd page OF history,
which would be incomplete without the commem-
ora;ion Of your patriotism, wisdom and eloquence,
will but imperectly express the strength OF devotion
with which you inspired the wise and Intelligent OF
the age. The monumental marble Will be cold in
its testimonies of your greatness and renown but
our glowing spirits and burning words shall bear
YOU better witness. The granite shall sooner moul-
der shan these living memorials shall fail; for the
warm hearts in which our blood will beat, shall
swell and thrill in other ages at the utterance OF
your name, with instructive emotions OF gratitude
and affection derived with life from us, and lnher-
tied while any remain worthy of America and
Liberty.

Of those who in classic ages have thus served
their country and houored humanity, and have
fallen in the pyotracted struggle with malisnity,
treason, folly and tyranny, it has been well said in
terms which richly express our sense Of your
claims, that


:. They fell devoted but undyng


The very gales their uames are si.l!ng;


The silent pillar lone aud gray,


Claims kindred with their sacred clay.


Their spirits wrap the dGsky mountain;


Their memory siarkes Ter the fountain;
