degrees-al denominatiuns-and all parties united in doing the last offices to the honest man, the vlru- ous, experienced, and able statesman-the soldier of the Revolution, who gave the blood of his youth, the vigor of his manhoea and the wisdom of his age to his country.

 This was the last of the companions of the Pro pbe" who is likely to direct the affairs of the United States. The race is extinct-thc mammoth men, all hut one the venerable and lllustrous MADISON, have passed away, and nothing remains but the recoliec ton of their pure and noble character and the bene fits they bestowed on their country. Never was there nation conducted to independence by brighter lights and purer intellgences-nor one whose desnies have been directed by succession of aber and bet ter men than ours. The gallant soldiers Tn the days of battle, and danger, and darkness, became the virtuous successful statesmen of the period oi peace and guided with consummata wisdom to its haven, the baroue they had saved in the storm.-peace their manes as long as peace shall abide the earth, and blessings on tkeir memory while the people of this happy-thrice happy Republic, shall retain the ca pacity.t to be grateful

 The deceased patriot, sustaS Sed almost age Of public service For more than fifty years, he devot

  ton of that time the eyes of millions were upon him. In all that period neither rivalry nor malice, nor emulation nor envy, has been able to convict him of any act unbecomng gen,lemln, an honest man, and pure patriot. Simple in his manners, candid, open, sincere, and upright as private and public man as Governor, Ambassador, Minister of State and President of the United States he endured the scrutiny of age, without fear and without re- proach-except that of sometimes forgetting the stern and rigid maxims of public duty, in his kindness and sympathy for individuals. As husband, father, and brother-as a soldier, citizen, statesman in private and in pubc-abroad, at home and eve- ry where, he sustained his character of an upright man and a wise ruler One of the first acts of his youth, was to draw his sword in behalf of the rights of North America and one of the latest acts of his mature wisdom, to baffle the enemies of the freedom of South America, by his public, and dig niied, and firm declaration, that the United States guaranteed that freedom against the world

 Mature in years, and weighed down by the loss of his amable and excellent wife, he came hither to die-and he died as he wished-as his ustrious predecessors had died-on the anniversary of that independence which he had assisted to gain by his sword and to commemorate by his wisdom and vr- tues. Who would not wish to live as he lived to die as he died-to be followed to the grave as he was foowed-to be honored as he was honored-and to have it said of hmself as it was said of JAMES MoN- ROE, that the only man who did not envy him his life, his death, and his fame, were the msers. who envy man nothing but his money.

 It has been said by philosophc historians, that the power and glory of Rome may be traced to the for tunate, almost providenta aptitude of her first Kings for the crisis in which they lived RoMULus sustain cd her by arms-NUMA PoMPIIIUs by laws and reli- zion. Our country may claim an equal good fortunes; may the future leave to regret the past and may our recollection of our early Chief Mags. trates never be saddened by the degeneracy fther successors.

 We now proceed 10 detail the order followed in the interment of the deceased Patriot.

 At three o'clock the body was given into the charge of the Committees appointed for that purpose by the Common Council, who immediately proceeded to remove 1t to the front of the City Hall escorted by two squadrons of cavalry. The commencement of the movement was announced by the tolling of the bells and the firing of the minute guns. All busi- ness was immediately suspended; the stores and public offices all closed and the streets through which the procession was to pass, were crowded by our citizens. It is supposed that more than one hun dred thousand persons of all ranks, occupied the house-tops, balconies windows, and streets on the line of procession. When the body arrived at the City Hall, the coffin in which it was contained was placed on a platform erected for the purpose; and the following oration was delivered in style becom- ing the occasion, by William A. Duer, Esq. Pres dent of Columbia College;

 FELLow-CITiZENs-Another anniversary of our HdtlOndl lnuepenuence TaS been cODSecrateQ Dy the death of another of those patriots who assisted to achieve it-of another of those statesmen who, after long course of public service, attained the highest office ln that government to the foundation of which he had contributed by early devotion of life and fortune to his country

 Did this event stand single in our annas-were it unconnected in our memories, with the deaths on a former anniversary ofthe same glorious day-of two of his illustrious predecessors-eve then similar removal of the deceased would have been deem- cd admonitory, and would have commanded so- lemn and appropriate notice. But following as it does that signal union in their flight from this world of the immortal spirits of Adams and Jefferson, the departure of MONROE must impress us with an awful sense of Divine interposition, and awaken live Tier gratitude for the favor and protection of an over ruling Providence.

 Amongst our national blessings we may indeed enumeratc not merely the lives but the very deaths Of men like him whose mortal remainsnow lie before ns For his life spent in usefulness to lis coun- try-and his death imparts greater sanctity to her Institutions It would be superfuous, fellow-ctzens to deain you with narrative of events, which are interwoven with the history of this nation, and which must needs be familiar to all who have watched its prosperity, or who value it's renown It IS enough on this occasion to reminds you that in the various public employment in which the deceased was en- gagged for half century, he distinguished for the ardor of his patriotism and the uprgness of his intentions for valor and perseverance soldier for industry, caution, and fidelity, statesman. And although before he reached the highest station to which he csuld be elevated by the favor or erati tude of his counymen, he had not escaped the poli- tica controversies of the ne yet party spirit had then so far subsded and political adversaries had be- come so far reconced, that he was first chosen Pre-. sident against merely nominal opposition, and was reelected by unanimous vote. His administra- ion of that high office not only characterised for It's temperate and impartial spirit, but it exhibited just and liberal views of national policy. and was slgnazed by the firm attitude and enlightened prin- cpes winch it assumed in regard to the South Anne
