Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses on the Death of Hon. Jacob Collamer: Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, on Thursday, December 14, 1865 It is eminently fit and becoming, Mr. President, as it is also in accordance with an approved and sacred custom, that we pause for an hour in the ordinary routine of our daily labors, that we may consecrate that hour to the virtues and the memory of a deceased and lamented associate, who has shared so long and so largely in our regards and in the public confidence, for his mature wisdom and for his great moral excellence. "Your colleague, Judge Collamer, is dead!" was the startling telegraphic message I received at my home about five weeks ago. He expired at his residence in Woodstock, Vermont, on the evening of the 9th of November past, after a brief illness of little more than a single week - at his own home, in the midst of his own affectionate and devoted household; in the full exercise of his intellectual faculties; with an abiding and unshaken faith in the Christian religion; and in the cherished hope of a blissful immortality. But three weeks before his decease he visited Montpelier, the capital of the State, some fifty miles distant from his residence, to attend the funeral services of a younger and favorite brother. Having paid the last sad offices of respect and affection to a brother´s memory, he returned to his own home; but, alas! only to lay himself down so soon to die.
