In the Senate on Wednesday, Jul y 10th , Mr.
Cass rose after Mr. Webster , and mad e the foll ow-
ing eloquent remarks :
" Again and again , dur ing the presen t session ,has
a warn ing voice come from the tomb , say ing to all of
us, ' Be ye also read y.' Two of our colleagues have
fallen in the midsl of their labors, and we have fol-
lowed them to the narrow house where all must lie.
Ill life we are in death ; and th is lesson ,which accom-
pan ies us from the cradle to the grave , is amon g
those merciful dispensation s of Providence which
teach us how transitory are the things around us,
and how soon they must bo abandoned for an exist-
ence with no hope but that which is held out by the
Gospel of our Saviour. And now another solemn
warn ing is heard ; and this time it will carry mourn-
ing to tho hearts of twenty millions of people. Im-
pressivel y has it been said and repealed , ' A great
man has falle n in Israel.' In the providence of God
the chi ef mag istrate of the republic , to whom his fel-
low cilizens had confided the hi gh executive dut ies
of the country, has been suddenl y taken from us—
ri pe, indeed , in years and honors , and but the other
day in the full possession of his health , and with Ihe
prom ise of years of faithfu l and patr iotic services be-
fore him. The statesman , occupy ing as proud a po-
sition as this world offers to human hopes, has been
struck down in a crisis which demanded nil his
firmness and wisdom. The conqueror upon many
a batt le field has (oug ht his last fight and been van-
quished . The soldier who had passed unharmed
throug h many a blood y fray has fallen before the
shaft of the great destroyer. How trul y are we
told , that the re is one event unto all ! The mighty
and the lowl y descend to the tomb together , and to-
gether are covered with the cold clod of the valley ;
and thus pass awa y the honors and tho cares of life 1
The moment is too solemn and impressive for la-
bored addresses. Thoug hts , no t words, are the tri-
bute wh ich it demands. History will do justice to
the deceased patr iot. lie will live in the memory
of his countrymen , as ho lived in their hearts and
('flections. His active life was spent in their service ,
and in those scenes of peril , of exertion , and of ex-
posure which it is the lot of the American soldier to
encounter, and which he meets without a murmur ,
faithfu l to his duty, lead him where it may in life or
in deat h. His splendid military exploits have placed
him among the great captains of the age, and will be
an imperishable monument of his own fame and ol
the glory of his country . In the disparity of force ,
they carry us back for simil ar exam ples to the earli-
est ages of the world—to the combats which history
has recorded , and where inequality yielded to the
exer tion of skill and valor. But I need not recur to
them ; are they not written in burning characters
upon the heart of ever)' American ?
Strong in the confidence of his countrymen , he
was called to the chief magistracy at a period of
groat difficulty—more portentous , indeed , than any
we have ever experienced. And now lie has been
called by Providence from his high functions with
his mission unfulfilled , leaving us1 to mourn his loss
and to honor his memory. His own last words,spok-
en with equal truth and sincerity, constitute his high-
est eulogy. ' I am not afraid to die,' said the dying
patr iot ; 'I have done my duty.' The integrity of
his motives was never assailed or assailable. He
had passed throug h life , and a long and active one,
neither meriting nor meeting reproach ; and in his
last hour the conviction of the honest discharge of
his duty was present to console ,even when the things
of this life were fast fading away.
Let us humbly hope that this afflicting dispensa-
tion of Providence may not be without its salutary
influence upon the American people and upon their
represe ntatives. It comes in the midst of a strong
agit ation , threatning the most disastrous consequen-
ces to our country, and to the great cause of self-gov-
ern ment throughout the world. It is a solemn ap-
peal , and shou ld be solemly heard and heeded. His
death whose loss we mourn will not be in vain , if it
tends to subdu e the feelings that have been excited,
and to prepare the various sections of our country
for a mutual spirit of forbearance ,which shall insure
the safety of all by the zealous co-operntion of all. —
Wo could offe r no more appropriate nor durable trib-
u te to departed worth than such a sacrifice of con-
flict ing views upon the allar of our common country
In life and in death he will equall y have devoted
himself to her service and her safety. "
Gcsi. Cstss upon Gen. TTsiyJor.
'Where way, Ned ?'
'To the North. '
'Pleasure , eh ?'
'Hum !—yes, I s'pose so ; thoug h in truth person-
al pleasure has but little to do with it.'
'How ?'
'Oh , I'm onl y off on furloug h.1 Do you know the
old ma n came to me last eve to bid me prepare for—
don't smile—a wedding tour. Me a married man;—
fud ge 1 I'd as lief quit, life altogether , as write my-
self, Benedict the married. '
'What a fool you are, Ned ; you 've not stop ped to
ask who or what your bride is to be, I suppose ?'
'No , indeed ! Wh y shou ld I ? Isn't it enoug h to
be told wit h a gr
in— "Eh , Ned , you are a happy fel-
low—a fortune of your own , and beaut y for a
bridge ?" What do I care for beauty, if so be there
is no other consideration with it ? No, no—I'm of!.1
'Luck be with you , Ned ; meanwhile I'll set my-
self to work to occupy the field you so read il y for-
sake.'
'Welcome ! most welcome ! And hark ye, if it's
game, I'll be in at the death. '
'But how shall I inform you. Where shall you
locate ?'
'Advertise , of course. I'll keep watch of the pa-
pers. As for a locality I shall have none. '
With a farewell the friends parted , one to his qui-
et vocation , the other to a sort of half wilful , half
pleasant jaunt.
We may as well tell yon here as anyw here (unless
you have alread y found out ,) that Ned was one of
those wayward beings , who would not do as he had
a mind to , if it happened to agree with any body-
else's wishes. Not he. If he was a man, of course
he had mind enoug h to decide for himself in all
things. No need of discretion or advice even—
'wasn 't he old enoug h to know ,' and 'couldn 't he
manage his own affairs,' espec ial ly in those nicer
matters of the heart , where 'all for love ' was t he on-
ly consideration ? Occupied with sundry such many
reflections , our hero sped on his way. He was too
indianant to think or care for anything else. How-
ever , passion , like water , will evaporate : and so Ned
found it. If he was angry, he was too vacillat in g to
reta in it, and beside , change of circumstances and
scenes will effect almost any bod y's feelings. In
these days of annihilation of distances , the transpor-
tat ion f rom Philadel phia to New York is but an
item. Then up Ihe North River by moonli ght is
most charm ing ly sent imental ; and wasn 't Ned sen-
timental when he left Philadel phia , and was he not
always sentimental ? Fastidiousness he abhorred,
sent iment was quite another affair.
Nor is Ned the onl y reasoner after thi s wise. I'll
bo bound hundreds have thoug ht so before and hun-
dreds will think so if they have occasion . Ned's mi-
grat ions were often in the pleasante st manner possi-
ble. There was no need for haste , and but l ittle
lack for pleasure , so what could he do better than
enjoy whatever presented itself. Among other toil-
