An old friend of deceased adds this tribute: "In no respect is this an occasion for lamentation for him. Death was not meant to be regarded as an evil, else it would not come alike to all; and about his death there were many circumstances of felicity and good fortune. He died in the maturity if his intellect, and after having achieved the name of being strictly temperate and honest in all things; and he died at home; his last wants supplied by the hands of affection and love; his last hours cheered by the consolations of friendship. Politically he was a Whig of the Henry Clay school; his first vote for President being cast for John Quincy Adams in 1824. He remained in that party until 1844 when their National Convention resolved to discard all agitation of the slavery question, both in and out of Congress; and his sense of right and justice compelled him to be an uncompromising anti-slavery man, and in 1856 at its first joined the Republican Party, in which he was always an active worker, having been elected seven consecutive years assessor of the richest ward in this city.
