As may justly be inferred, from the long and unchecked career of success which distinguished the life of Mr. King, and the respect and confi- dence he always enjoyed, his popularity was not the result of those factitious aids which give to demagogues and political tricksters an ephemeral existence, but was the natural consequence and well-deserved recompense of his exalted qualities of head and heart. For forty years he brought to his country's use the rich gifts of his patriotism and his wisdo...m — the glowing energies of his early manhood, and the matured counsels of a wise and honorable old age. Intelligence, honesty, and fide- lity distinguished the administration of every pub- lic trust confided to his hands. Amidst all the fluctuations of public sentiment, and all the muta- 40 tions of party, he pursued the path of duty by the light of principle, and dying, leaves behind him an example of consistency and public virtue upon which the patriot may ponder with pleasure, and Jroin which the mere aspirant for worldly honor may draw an instructive lesson.
