Camutiui, July 37* 1855.
Messrs. Him. & Sledo* :
1 hasten to give your traders an account
of the discussion which took plnce here on
yesterday, between Mr. C. Peeples, of your
place, and Coli Thomas W. Thomas, of Kl-
bert county.
The Know Nothings had pla-eanlcd ala
over the connty for some time that Mr. Pee
ples, the Ajax of the secret dark lantern
Order, would address the good people of
our county at this place on the 2Gth iiist.,
and hold the first meeting to organize the
Know Nothing party in this county. At an
early hour in the day the Sains began to pour
in until every mother’s son of them belong
ing to the who’e county, was here ; but lo!
and behold, to their great horror and dismay,
when the hour arrived for the speaking to
commence, Col. Thomas appeared, and it
was announced that he would reply to Mr.
Peeples, 1 have seen many a crowd with
long faces, but none like this, and 1 think,
If I am any judge, Mr. Peeples' was a at
least a feet longer than usual. It was evi
dent to those who knew him* that be had
picked up a customer that he least expected,
iind would have rather been in Sam’s dark
dominions than on the speaker's stand. It
\vas arranged for Mr. Peeples to speak
hn hour,.Col. Thomas to reply an hour
hnd * balfi Mr. Peeples then to reply a halt
hour. .
Mr. People^ Commenced his speech by
telling a few anecdotes evidently to revive
Uie feelings of bis Crowd, whom he saw was
so much chap-fallen, he then read their Plat
form; and went ofMntoatlradeof.ibiiseofihe
Citizens of (?arndsvinc, and asserted as a f iet,
that there Had been a Secret club at this
place fair thirty yoars, who meet in back
rooms of storo houses and concocted secret
plans to rule or control the elections of this
county, that the people of the county had
become so disgusted at it that they were
now trying to split the connty in two to
break it up. Mr. Peeples asserted a tiling
which he does not know to he true, and
which I as one of its citizens,"utterly deny
that there is now or ever was such a club
in this place, and 1 utterly deny that the
people of this county (his dark la.item
crowd rvccpled) *ro actuated from any such
■Motives ia wanting a division of the county,
i; liiev want a division, it is solely on the
ground of inronvenience. to the county cite,
•of a large portion of them, not because, as
Mr. Peeples asserted, they bad become so
•disgusted with the secret club at this place,
w ho me! in hack rooms to concoct plans to
•control elections in the county. I regret that
Mr. Peeples should have stooped to so small
». business as to allude to the local affairs of
1be connty. I have always looked upon Mr.
Peeples as a high toned gentleman. After
this, the speaker pitched off into a general
Tirade of alutse against Roman Catholics
and .foreign paupers, just such as you see
every day in the Know Nothing organ at
Athens. This was the burthen of his song.
'When. Iris hour having expired, Col Thomas
rose in reply. He called upon Mr. Peeples
lo talc notice that he should state nothing
bat farts which he had the testimony at band
toprovo, and if it was to be disputed then
was the time and place to do it. IIis speech
was calm and dignified, and upon the whole,
one of the best speeches 1 have ever listened
to. This was the general opinion of all I
have heard speak of it, among whom were
several of the Know XlPlhings. He so com
pletely annihilated Peeples’ argument, that
when he arose to replj, it was evident that
hr felt himself used up, and was not Cincinat-
tus Peeples, as seen in the Court House.—
So soon as he got his dinner, lie left, com
plaining of being very unwell, without wait
ing to organize the first Know Nothing
meeting in Franklin. The hallance of them
looked very unwell, whether they ft It so or
i">i 1 cannot tell.

ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
Address of the Hon* J. M. Berrien,
Upon the delivery of the Sophomore Prise
Medals, at the University of Georgia, Ath
ens, July 31«f, 1855.
My Young Friends—You have been en
gaged in friendly competition for prece
dence in Oratory. It is a noble art—of great
notency for good or evil, but under the gui
dance ut vntue and patriotism, of incalcula
ble value in a free government like ours.—
It merit,, therefore, assiduous cultivation.
These Medals, whose chiel value is im
parted to them by the occasion of their be
stowal, are the prizes for which you have
been contending; and the duty ot announc
ing to you the decision of the Committee
selected to determine their appropriation, has
been assigned to me. It is a duty, in the
performance of which, 1 am thrown back on
tiie recollection of times long ]v

There is another attractive interest which

jdtality, which tl ie refined people of Athens
have ever extended to the student, cement
■and render more enduring the affections for
the wall* *f the College itself. It is delight-

opens also a wide field of contemplation for
the future, which we tire not pci mi tied now
to occupy.
As 1 listened to your addresses, they
brought to mv remembrance with a degree of
vividness, which coul 1 only have been ex
ceeded by the actual presence of the event,
which they recall to my memory, a similar
scene, in which, some half century since, in
nty own .lima Mater, jit was my own lot to
participate. I recollect, as if it were an oc
currence of yesterday, the incidents so in
teresting to my classmates, and myself, of
that eventful period of our college life—the
care with which our speeches were selected
—the effort, by frequent readings, to learn
tiie laws of accent and emphasis, which were
applicable to them—Lite studious preparation
of them, by so indelibly impressing them
upon tiie memory, ns to give them, in the
delivery, the air of extemporaneous address
es—repeated recitals, in which \va endeav
ored to e.itcli the spirit of the'aut or, and to
identify ourselves with it—'.lien the solitary
rehearsals in our society rooms, where, se
cure from interruption, we gave full flow to
the feelings which ’our subject excited, and
endeavored to express them in tones which
were natural, and by appropriate gesture—
and finally, the entrance into the sacred tem
ple, which was the scene of this literary tour
nament—the arena in which was displayed
this first adventure in the career ofour voting
ambition, where, before an assembled au
dience, wc presented ourselves, with throb
bing bosoms, to the siketi judiecs of the oc
casion.
1 dwt 11 on these details, to assure you that
I can enter at this moment into all your feel
ings—revelling, if that were allowable, with
the victors in their triumphs, and sympa
thising with the vanquished in their disap
pointment—for of those feelings, I can truly
say, I know them by h art, as they throbbed
in my own, and in the bosoms of some of
the cherished associates of my youth. Ah!
How distinctly they present themselves be
fore meat this moment. Caldwell, of New
Jersey, carissimus condiscij.alus, the son ot a
patriot sire, a pious divine, and one of the
earliest martyrs of our revolution. Pendle
ton, of Virginia, gifted with talents to im
part additional brilliancy to tiie illustrious
name which be bears. Gaston, of North
Carolina, the son of a widowed uio'ber,
whose declining years were cheered by the
growing reputation of her distinguished
son. Our own Foasvnt, Robert, the elder
brother, perhaps the most gifted of them all.
Hut I i.i iy not indulge this feeling, and will
forbear the enumeration. Some of tbc names
of this class have found a place incur coun
try’s annals; and others would have been
registered there, if those who bore them, bad
not been cut off in the morning of life.—
Save Pendleton and another, all have, I be
lieve, passed atvav. Peace to tlieir departed
spirits! They have gone to their ri pose,
while 1 remain, to offer this'fe'hlc, but heart
felt tribute to iln ir memories.
Let us catch from these recollections of
tiie past, one monitory lesson, taught by the
preceptors of that olden time. 1’ioperly
regulated, (they said.) the rivalry which
this competition begets, is a lofty and gen
erous feeling. It prompts to assidious, un
wearied exertion in the season allotted to
preparation. It requites, on the day of trial,
a manly bearing, alike removed from pre-
Mmiptuousness and timidity. It demands
from the victor, in the hour of his triumph,
a modest, unassuming demeanor—a grateful,
not an exultant spirit—the exhibition of a
temper and disposition of mind, calculated
o add a new wreath to the laurel which en
circles his lirow. It imparts to the vanquish
'd, a resolution stilt buoyant and ituyii hling,
calm, self-possessed, liiico.nplaining—lirrv-
itself for future struggles, and patiently
abiding its tint —and that time will come, lo
each one who diligently improver the op
portunities afforded to him here.
The friendly suite in which you have been
engaged, full of interest as it is, is but on<
of the incidents of your College life. Much
still remains to be done. Many opportuni
ties will yet be atlordcd to ton, in which,
without reference to the past, ail may renew
the struggle for pre-eminence And when,
with your clars-mates, you have traversed
the extensive field which still lies before
you, and have finished your course—when,
with clasped hands and throbbing bosoms,
you have spoken each to the other, your la
test farewell, carry with you into the world
beyond, the same lofty and generous feeling;
and let it animate and guideyouin the strug
gles which it may be your lot to encounter
there. It will not qualify you to gain a fleet
ing popularity by the arts of the demagogue.
Nay, you ntay sometimes be compelled to
witness, with feelings of mortification, the
temporary pre-eminence of those who prac
tice them. But wherever, within the broad
limits of our great Republic, your lot may be
cast, yon will be in the midst of an intelli
gent and discerning people, who may bo de
ceived for a moment, but before whose steady
gaze, the bubble thus inflated will speedily
rst. Even if this were not so, the nans
Canada siin reeli, the proud consciousness of
having fiithfiilly pursued the path of duty
and honor, will he yours—ever yours—a
richer meed than such fleeting popularity
can bestow—far richer than any earthly hon
or, purchased by the sacrifice ot it.
1 have said that Oratory is a noble art—
of great potency for good or evil, hut under
the guidance of virtue and patriotism, ol
incalculable value, in a free Government. 1
add now, that it is only in such a Govern
ment it can exist in all its vigor. Abstain*
froin the vain attempt to trace its origin,
which is obscured by fable, and enveloped in
the mists of antiquity, we «. r e content to
consider the home ot Demosthenes, as the
birth-place of the art. There, for a century
and a half, it flourished with a degree of
splendor which has never been surpassed;
but it did not survive the fall of the free in
stitutions of Athens. Translated Irotn thence,
but not in its attic purity, to Asia minor, and
in spite rf the inhibition of the Senate, even
tually to Rome, it regained, in the time of
Cicero, all its vigor and magnificence. But
there too, it shared a similar fate, tor the
knell of Roman liberty, was also the signal
for the decline of Roman eloquence.
This brief reference to the annals of anti
quity, exhibiting us they do, the inseparable
connection between freedom and eloquence,
would seem to designate it as the birth-right
of frfeemen—at least to show that the cultiva
tion of this noble art, is one of your privi
leges as American citizens ; and by an easy
and natural transition, would lead to a con
sideration of the duties which that character
imposes—dm* that would exceed the limits
allowed to an exercise like this. A few
brief suggestions may* however, be per
mitted.
My young friends! yours is a favored lot.
I could wish that you should properly appre
ciate it, and the responsibilities which at
tach lo it. Your lives have indeed fallen in
pleasant places. You live under a free Go
vernment, which is diffusi ng its benificcnt
influences over an almost boundless extent
of territory, diversified by every variety of
soil, and abounding with all which may con
tribute to the comfort and happiness of man.
Here, to i, the light of Christianity beams on
your pathway, to cheer you onward in the
journey of 1 fe. On what other portion of
the globe, has the Creator of the Universe
thus showered bis blessings? The fust
great duty of a people so signally favored ot
Heaven, is reverence, gratitude, love to their
bountiful Benefactor.
Cultivate this feeling. I^t it be your bo
som’s most cherished inmate, on your en
trance into life—its friend and counseller in
each successive stage of your journey. The
public trusts which are now committed to
your seniors, vacated by death, or relinquish
ed by advancing age, may soon be assigned
to you. In every event, tiie important duties
of an American citizen, will devolve upon
you. Is it too early to present this prospect
to your view 1 1 think not.
The foundations of future greatness may
be laid now, within the wails of your Alnui
Muter. If there were among us at this mo
ment, one gifted with prophetic vision—one
who possessed the power to unveil the fu
ture. he might perhaps sec among the youth
assembled here, statesmen in embryo—young
men destined to eminence in the learned pro
fessions, future historians, philosophers and
military chicllains performing tlieir noviciate
in this institute of literature and science.
For beside, and beyond the mastery of
your appointed studies, the object of Colle
giate instruction is to enlarge and discipline
the mind, as well as to replenish the memory
—to mould the clia acter, as well as to em
bellish the understanding—to cultivate the
moral as well as the intellectual faculties—in
more brief, hut comprehensive phrase, to
qualify the graduate for the discharge of all
Ills duties to God and his country.
Thus, the truths of our holy religion be
come an appropriate element in Collegiate
instruction. To enlighten and elevate the
mind ol the pupil, by imparting lo him a just
conception ol t ie til ing and attributes of his
Creator—to awaken in his yonug heart those
emotions of gratia: le and love, which the
touching n..native of the life and sufferings
Oi Lie Gou-.aan, wm uu-il ti save him—died
that lie might live.—live forever in the full
fruition ot tiie j>.vs of Heaven
which tli.U narrative will not fail to arouse,
is the appropriate oiiiee ot lie instructor of
youth. I'o tmrrow a thought Iroat a patriot
and scholar ol' our fatherland, it will fortify
his iieart and understanding unto virtue, and
elevate them to independence—and if the
laurel thus planted, should thicken around
the temple ol his future fame, tiie pillars will
support i'., for the materials are solid, and
tlie ground is firm.
The love of country—a fervent, sclf-sacri-
li ing patriotism is one of the grateful duties
of an Aiiieric.nl citizen. Tins includes rev
erence for the Constitution—obedience to
the laws—an ardent, eufallerii.g attachment
to our National Union, which has been, un
der Providence, tiie source of so many bless
ings—a readiness to promote,by every me.ms
within your power, mental and physical, by
every sacrifice which your country may re
quire at your hands, the advancement of the
public weal. And happily, you need not loos
ahro id tor suc.i lessons of patriotism. Our
own brief, hu: brilliant history will amply
supply them. You will tin J them in tiie
eventful narrative of our revolutionary strug
gle; and yet more strikingly displa ed, if
Ural were possible, in the spirit which ani
mated our fathers, in that great council of the
nation, which, amid conflicting views and
opposing interests, adjusted the compromises
oi our glorious Constitution.
Outvard, then, my young friends! God
d your country, your whole country, the
objects cf your devotion ! While you are
faithful to them, you will never he faithless
to yourselves. 1 have well nigh finished my
appointed task. Need 1 remind you, in the
few brief moments which remain, of the grat
itude which is due to your preceptor in the
noble art, which y< u have been so assiduous
ly cultivating? When i .lied '■>• its exercise
in tiie tribunals e.f jusii -e. in the balls of
legislation, led"..re the assembled people, or
in God’s holy temple, will you not turn with
grateful recollection to your venerated Alma
Muter, and to the friend and p coeplorof yonr
youth ! To whatever eminence you may
hereafter attain, will you not gratefully ac

ti of the Govei slur,
had const.; ;tiy refused to do-so {during
the whole previous term of his ojikv, in
order that the support of that-,iiiuivid"iil
and hi* friends, might be secured in the
approaching election. .
We shall notice them briefly y
hatred for free-soilers and aholitionists,
and indeed for the benefit of all the peo
ple of Virginia, we publish below the
platform of the editor of the Wheeling
Gazette, a know-nothing paper, with a
know-nothing editor, lie nails himself
to his platform, and says : “We may
fall on it, but will never leave it.” We
hope it may “fall on” him, and make
hitn a better man and a truer patriot.—
We sincerely regret that on any portion
of the soil of Virginia such sentiments
should have a living representative. We
regret that any man who enjoys the priv
ilege of citizenship in this honored old
Commonwealth should have the effronte
ry to proclaim such sentiments within
her jurisdiction. We more deeply re
gret that such a man, with such opinions,
should receive encouragement in Virgin
ia and by Virginians. Such a spectacle
is mortifying in the extreme, and should
blanch wjtli shame the cheek of every
man who has any love for Virginia, any
reverence of law and order, justice and
right.
The editor must have been a frec-soil-
er before he came to Virginia, but we
had not heard before of his proclaiming
such sentiments since he became a citi
zen. The question, therefore, suggests
itself, why is he emboldened to this
eotfrse now I The only resonable answer
presented to our mind is, that he has
been encouraged to utter such sentiments
only since, the introduction of knoip-noth-
ingism into our State. The subject is
fruitful of alarming speculation, hut we
will not pursue it further at this time.
We give the platform of this know-
nothing editor to our readers as we find
it in the Clarksburg Register, ami be
them to read it, ponder it, and .hen an
swer the question, each for himself,
“watchman, what of the night ?”
The editor of the Wheeling Gazette
thus defines his position s
“Allying ourself to neither North nor
•South, on our own hook we adopt the
following platform as our platform on this
question, from which we never have and
never will recede. IIV may fall on it,
hut WILL NEVER LEAVE IT:
“The severance of the general govern
ment from slavery.
“ The repeal of the fugitive-slave

“The PI"ltCHA«K AND MANUMISSION OF

tional platform—-the only one on which
tiie questions can he settled—the only

and reccivod the crown.
A parallel to Iter death is scarcely seen. No
doubts or fears obscured her uiiud, or <latii|ied her

all tho power of grace to support mid save." May
her early but glorious death he sanctilied to the
good of survivors.

_ , „ bold in
1\ Watkiiisville, on Tuursdny next, to consider
and adopt the best means for iho advancement of
the onus - goncndl
1st. The charge of political proscrip
tion. This comes with a had grace front
the opponents of Goy. Johnson j whose
proscriptive doctrine^ extend to"’a man’s
Wc really hope wc have raised no
it: s ire by this candid expression ofour
inioits, for it is too hot to indulge in
ml si oi ils or works, and we should pity
any one who had it to do.”
I proceed to perform the remaining and
leas! pleasant port of the duty’ which has been
assigned to me—todiseriminate,where, when
all have done well, general, indiscriminate
approbation would be a more agreeable of
oiiiee. The pressure ol* this feeling is, how
ever, diminished, by the permission which I
have sought, and obtained from my asso
ciates, to express to all and to each of you,
the gratification with which tiiey have listen
ed to your addresses—the hope which they
have inspired of your success in the art.—
Let none therefore despair. Future triumphs
may’ await those who arc less fortunate now.
Ifmy individual counsel may be in any de
gree acceptable, 1 would say to them, in the
language of the great Roman poet:
Til if cr;l•- mails, sod contra, andentior ilo,
1,'ik.io tun tc fortunn sinct.
The committee appointed to decide on the
bestowal of ;hc prizes contended for, have
awarded the first medal to G. P. Screven—
by tlu ir authority, 1 accordingly present it to
you. They have awarded the second medal
to J. P. (.’. Whitehead, which, in like man
ner, 1 present to you.
And now, fortunato competitors in this
rhetorical tournament, what shall I sav to
yeu? By ycurdiligence in preparation—hy
the talent which you have displayed—hy
tiie promise which you have lltus given, that
the eloquence of our noble Slate shall still
he progressive, you have fully entitled your
selves to the commendation which the be
stowal of tin se medals will express. You
may, therefore, be justly proud of possessing
them, lint remember, that in this, as in
every earthly pleasure, the highest zest, the
most prolonged enjoyment is the result of
temperance in its use. Inscribe, therefore,
on tiie tablets of your memory—engrave on
these medals, the memorials of your triumph,
this biief, but expressive precept:
Moderate splcndcat usu ”
Finally, in resorting to the annals of the
past, in quest of models for your imitation,
seek them where, alone, true greatness can
be found, in the union of cultivated talent,
with virtue, j atriotism, and faith in the Re-
dieu.er. A celebrated English philosopher,
seeking to account for the tolerance allowed
hy the world, lo men distinguished for brave
ry, but whoso characters aie deformed by
vice, thus tersely expresses himself: “Cou
rage is so necessary to the exercise of every
virtue, that we are prone to admire it, even
when connected with vice,” A similar re
mark, with some inodifi ration, may be ap
plied to talents. They exert so predomtpa
ting an influence in human affairs—so dazzle
by their brilliancy, or bewilder by their so
phistry, that tho mass of mankind are ant to
overlook those defects of character, which
such talents enable their possessors partially
to conceal. But this is not true greatness.
Tho career of such men inay be distinguish
ed—it is sometimes brilliant—often bewil
dering, and always evanescent. They pass
away and are forgotten. He alone is truly
great, who, to eminent taleuts, add3 exalted
virtue, unfaltcriug patriotism, and humble
faith. Tiie death of such a man is hallowed
by the regrets of those who survive him
His spotless morning brightens into the full
effulgence of its meridian splendor, and “lie
sinks into the evening of life, like a sun
religion as well as to his politics
2nd. Tho. claims against the fState
Road, in Tennessee, were subiVnVtcu to
arbitration, and removed to another
county, hoping for a fair trial. But the
award went Against the State of Geor
gia. Where is the corruption in this?
3d. Mr Cowart’s offico was not crea
ted by Gov. Johnson. It was created
Gov. Cobh, Gov. Johnson found it in
existence, and continued it, at less ex
pense to the Road than was incurred hy
his predecessor. The opposition found
no fault with this ofliee when it was
made by Gov. Cobb. Why is it con
demned under another administration ?
4th. The Change in the tariff' of
freights at Etowah, Maj. Cooper’s Depot
(he being tho “individual” referred to
in tho above) was made in pursuance of
an understanding effected more, than 12
months ago. The change applies to all
shipments at that point, without discrim
illation in favor of any one individual.
The insinuation in the charge above,
that Gov. Johnson used the State’s
money to bribe Mark A. Cooper, and
that Mark A. Cooper received the bribe,
is, in the opinion of every man who
knows these gentlemen, too contemptible
to be a moment entertained.
Recantation of a Ruow-Xotliing Edi
tor, "
Titos. H. Clark, who formerly edited
ml published a Know Nothing paper
Carrollton, Mississppi, has written a
tter to the editor of the Mississippiatt
publicly withdrawing his connexion with
the order. The following extract fiom
Mr. Clark’s letter indicates his reasons
rjoining and for withdrawing:
1 joined it not only voluntary, hut
cheerfully, because I firmly believed at
the time that I was assisting to lay the
foundation of a party that would ultima-
ly arrest the black tide of abolitionism
that now threatens to sweep.away every
lit of the slave States. 1 believed
that I was assisting to form the nucleus
a party in the South, around the
northern standard of which were claim
ed most, if not all, llie conservative and
ational men of the free States, and the
special mission of which was to 4 nip i’
the bud’ the treasonable designs of the
enemies of slavery. Let the history ot
the past ten months say whether my ex
pectations have been realized. Every
free State in the U uion is under tire un
disputed control of the Know-Nothings,
and in the recent election, in tire North
scarcely a man has been elected who is
not an open and avowed opponent oi
slavery.”
Something of a Falling Off.—We
are informed that an intelligent member
of tho Know Nothing order of this city,
conversant with election statistics of the
State, estimates Andrews’ adherents at
the present time at only 2(i,000 cr 27,000
At the time of the Macon Convention,
the order, it w as stated on good authori
ty, enrolled from 29,000 to 30,000 mem
bers, who could be counted on. l’uttin
this with that together, it appears
that there has hecu a falling -off
of about 2,000 mpjpbers within the
last four weeks. This conclusion
also accords very well with that
at which we lind already arrived
judging from the numerous with
drawals from the order in every part of
the State, and the general odium under
which it had fallen.
If these calculations be true, and we
believe they are not far out of the way
the Know Nothings will make a poor
showing at thccomingelections. Throw
j in, for the sake of the argument
5,000 votes gratis, and allowing Mr. Ov
erby 10,000, all that liis most sanguine
friends can claim for him, and Johnson
would still be elected over both hy
handsome majority, and then have votes
to spare.—Savannah Georgian.

At a called meeting, held this morning, the
following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Painfully and frequently, are wo reminded
of the uncertainty of I fe and of the universal
dominion of death. Silently and steadily
death deals his fatal blows, and brother after
brother follows to the grave. To-day we are
vigorously engaged in tho busy scenes of life
to-morrow borne by mourning friends to
tho still, long silence of the tomb. In broth
er Witt were centered the three great tenets
ofour Order: Faith, Hope and Charity-
Faith in God, Hope in immortality, and
Charity to all mankind. lint alas! our bro
ther is gone! He sleeps beneath the cold
clods ot the valley, where the wrecks of the
w orld are felt and known no more. The gen
erous heart—the friend of the poor, the wid
ow and tho fatherless- is no longer! That
manly form—that noble spirit, which once
■rave joy to tho helpless and distressed, is
"one! Death has idnlled the heait, and
made a vacuum in the Lodge, the family, and
the circles o‘"Society. Reflections like these,
are suggested by the death of our worthy
brother MIDDLETON WITT, who depart
ed this life on Monday inorning.ihe 9th inst.,
ak half past six o'clock. \V e feel that in
tiie decease of Brother Witt, the cause of
Masonry has lost one of its warmest friends
and brightest ornaments. Under a deep

and the cause of Masonry—be it
Resolved, That in the death of Brother
Witt, Unity Lodge feels that she has lost a
valuable and most useful member.
Resolved, That the memory of our deceas
ed brother is dear to us as his brethren and
friends, and will be cherished by us so Ion
as wc are able to appreciate brotherly love,
or worth in a citizen.
Resolved, That the assurance of our heart-
felt sympathies be tendered to the bereaved
v.'tdow and aged mother of our deceased
brother, and tliat a copy of these resolution*
be tendered to thorn, and published in the
