Excerpt from Oration of Hon. Albert S. White: With Other Proceedings, at Lafayette, Indiana, on the Occasion of the Death of Gen. William H. Harrison, Late President of the United States On receiving the official intelligence of the death of the President on Tuesday evening, April 13th, 1841, a meeting of the citizens of Lafayette was immediately called, to assemble at the Court House at candle-lighting. At the time appointed the Court Room was filled with an assemblage which in the sadness of the moment seemed to have forgotten all former distinction of parties. On motion of Dr. O. L. Clark, Dr. E, Deming, was appointed President; and on motion of A. Hatcher, Esq., Benj. Henkle was appointed Secretary. The solemn occasion for which the meeting had assembled was in a few words very impressively stated by the chair, after which Dr. O.L. Clark offered the following resolution. Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the President to consider and report such resolutions and arrangements as may be proper to express our sensibility to the national bereavement in the death of the President of the United States Which was adopted, and the chair appointed O. L. Clark, Sam´l Hoover, A. Hatcher, T. T. Benbridge and J. L. Scott said committee, who after having retired a few minutes, reported the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Submitting with humble reverence to the dispensations of an all wise Providence, under whose guidance is the destiny of all nations, Resolved, That we deeply deplore the death of William Henry Harrison, late President of the United States. Resolved, That it is due, not only to the public services of the deceased, but also the exalted office of Chief Magistrate of this Union, to which he had been called, that suitable demonstrations of respect be paid to his memory, and that our gratitude be manifested for his long career of patriotic service to his country. Resolved, That the Hon. A. S. White be appointed to deliver an address on Saturday, the 17th inst., commemorative of the life, character and public services of William Henry Harrison, late President of the United States. Resolved, That the Rev. S. R. Johnson be appointed to act as Chaplain upon the occasion. Resolved, That the chair appoint a committee of arrangements, consisting of fifteen citizens to superintend the execution of the foregoing solutions.
