To be cold and breathless, to feel i not and speak not?this is not the end of t.n tVio men who have 'ibreathed their spirits into the institutions of their country, who have stamped their characters on the pillars of the age, who have poured their heart's blood into the channels of the public prosperity. Tell me, ye who tread the sodss of :'yon sacred height, is Warren dead? Can you not still see him?not pale end prostrate, the blood of this gallant heart pouring out of his ghastly 4 wound, but moving resplendent over the field of honor, with the rose of heaven upon his cheek and the fire i of liberty in his eye? Tell me, ye who make your pious pilgrimage to the shades ot vernon, is Washington indeed shut up in that cold and narrow house? That which made these men like these cannot die. The hand that traced the charter of Independence is, indeed, motionless ; the eloquent lips that sustained j it are hushed; but the lofty spirits that conceived, resolved and maintained it, and which alone, to such men, make it life to live?these cannot expire.
