able personal character. Those who differed from him most in matters of opinion were readiest in expressing their admiration for the gentleness, simplicity and unselfishness of his disposition. His fame is secure, for, as Webster sajd in his noble eulogy, he devoted his great powers to justice, the greatest in terest of nijan on earth. "Whoever labors on tliis edifice: with usefulness and distinction, whoever clears its foundations, strengthens its pillars, adorns its entablatures, or contrib utes to raise its august dome still higher in the skies, connects himself in name and fame and character with that which is and must be as durable; as the frame of human society."
