How great a breach hath God, in his holy providence, made on our RepubUc, by the death of its Chief Magistrate ! PolTeffed of talents which peculiarly quahfied him for public ufefulnefs, he early devoted them to the fervice of his country. Difpaffionate in inquiry, patient in invefligation, corred in judgment, candid in tem- per, and amiable in manners, he was formed to ac- quire an afcendency over men, and to obtain their confidence and efteem. His fellow-citizens were not flow to difcern, nor... negligent to appreciate, his worth. For many years, he filled one, or another, of the higheil offices of the Common- wealth. And what a rich bleffing has he been to the community, by his counfels, example, and au- thority ! His counfeh^ dictated by prudence, and guided by principle, have effentially promoted the public welfare. In dubious cafes, and in critical conjunc- tures, his w'lfdom and knowledge have contributed to the ftability of our times. His example^ characterized by candour and integ- rity, by benevolence and juftice, by fairnefs and moderation, by virtue and religion, has been an ineftimable bleffing to the community.
