Therefore 20 the preservation of that spirit, in all its original purity and \i_ was the first duty of patriotism. He exhibited unyielding integ- rity, and a noble disinterestedness in all his conduct. In his va- rious official stations, very large amounts of public money wen 1 entrusted to his care, and many, perhaps unexceptionable, means of amassing fortune, were afforded to him; but faithfully account- ing to the government, whose confidence had been unlimited, he returned, like Cincinnatus, to his plough, poor in purse, but rich in the possession of that pearl beyond price, which wealth cannot buy, and for the loss of which it cannot compensate a mind con- scious of its own rectitude.
