0BAT10H OH THE DEATH OF GEN'L. WASHINGTON. DeUvmd at CaM Spstac. FeLruary VM. laDO. i , Dm. A.wuan Dans. ooxctA-no raoa tail wkks. If we view him as a citizen his character is amiably eouspictons- Forwatd (n eyery good be stood like a city t»n a bid, he shone like a star of the first magnitude. He opposed lire whole weight «if his example to rice. Fortune acknowledged him as one,of her kJaforrd children. But . though he ubounded in waahh yet he enjoyed It with moderation. Temperance not "Laxary was Ids physician and friend. What an example has hi set to nse this world without abasing it. Let as many as recline on the lap of Fortune reflect o« tiie charneler of this great man, and live like Philosophers. To tem|ier2nce wo may ndd industry. J/t has confered honor on wgriculture The greatness of fait mind appeared In this, that he never seemed to fprget that he was man. How man; ignoble son!*, whose fortunes are much leu than his, addict ibemsclvc* to sloth and despise labor. The labor of Iftisbandry especially they explode. Bni bo wnsiblc, that all are supported by tbe fmits of tbe field-loved cm ployincut and delighted in ngriccitnte. He cherished ail the. social virtnes. Tho' a man of war from hi* youth, yol be wot the friend of peace.. He loved retirement His fireside and beloved Martha attracted him stronger and pleased him better than, the glitter of a courts. In Aim were conctn1 charity, patriotism

In hit countenance mhaity, and on

*** O»o Ur of kindness.

f Siam he ha* given ^uvhll

- ml! compensation. The satisfaction of doing good was bis t< rre»lriai reward, lie was not only a humble and disinteri eated, but he was also a ebristiau raagtsI tr*le. Ue was one that, ruled in the • fear of God and bated covetcousness. j He believed in revelation; be revered ! the character of the jast. His conduct and writings evince that lie had a sacred regard (or religion. In alUfs addresses. ! he publicly acknonledgt-d a Supreme Being and looked up to him for direction. Ue placed morality at the foundation ; of all gover&mrnl. Such a one was I WarantCTOK. Thr compound of every • excellency. As Hume, writing tbe life of Alfred says, "im was such an one as I poets and historians had imagined, rather than as expecting to sec such a person in existence.” So may wc say of our immortal Hero He jKixsrsscd the excellencies of many great men. In courage he was equal to Alexander, in ' taettets to Cesar, in piety to M*»bcas. Like Abraham he was faithful, like Isaac beloved, and like Joseph redeemed Lis brclbem. > He was called from the plow like Cincinmttns, be lias immortaljzed bis name like Angnsltfs and his decent like MclcbUedtc's is not known. Great as he was be had enemies. Ue . had enemies enough to escape the corse denounced against him of whom all men 1 fptak well. To liars nad more would ; have been needless. Ue had his infirmities. He was a mortal man. He is dead and we this dsy deplore his death. Let ns next inquire what improvei meat we should make of this mournful • dispensation. Y j Let the first nse be to prepare for the i like ercut. Every instance of morttji- ' ty is a ioud call to the living. Tbe * death ..f Washington is donbiy alarming. I* Km wo see that neither riches ; nor honor nor distinction ncr goodness J nor health nor physicians nor any earthly consideration can slay the band of death. Whet have we then to ofer to this inexorable tyrant to torn away bis wrath. Surely the people arc grass. ! Verily man in his bestmtlatc is altogtlh1 er vanity. Since WasBIngtolt, - ia dead t let os count on death as a ccrWialv. i Let at t>» prepared for tSg change,-and j then death will prove a bLasing. i
