His lifo and character bad lcd bim to minglo in all tho leading movements which have occupied tho public mind for .the', past half oeatury and, upon all these questions', his record of opinion and of notion will be found olear, decided, lofty aod inflexible. Fifty years ago Ue was a Whig, aooept - . fhg the traditions and faith of that party Ind earnestly devoted to thoso priiioi " pies of constitutional oonstraotlon which met their fallest and highest enforce? ment ia tho fervid eloqueaoe of Glay and the massive argumentation of Webster.

' As the great | conflict ' deepened and widened, threatening to swallow - up the poace of tho country and rupture the national unity,.
