Mr. President and Gentlemen : It becomes my melancholy, yet pleasing duty,this evening, to revive in your recollection a few ofthe striking characteristics and generous actions ofone who, during life, devoted himself to the serviceof his country, and finally yielded up that life as avotive offering at her shrine.
