But we ask you not on this occasion to mourn. No ; in all our reflections, in all our pub- lic services, in all our humiliation before God, there has been too much, unthankfulness that we ever had a Harrison to lose. Glance over the illuminated path of his career — the track of light unshadowed by a single breach of honour, a single sacrifice of principle ; in its beginning, clear, though small, in its pro- gress undeviating, ever swelling on, until but now it burst into more than meridian sple...ndour. Then say if we are extravagant ; then say, if there is wonder that all the malice and slander of his par- tisan adversaries fell harmless, while " the voice of the people in his favour was like the continuous roaring of the sea. " General Harrison was ever exalted by his own merits ; and like the Father of our country, ri- sing from mere respectability, he never owed his station to the influence of friends high in power, 12 or merely to accidental circumstances. Yet was he entirely free from that overweening conceit and excessive selfishness into which self-made men sometimes slide.
