•THE LATE SENATOR FOOT OF
VERMONT.
Tributes to his Memory.
We condense from the reports of yester
day's Congressional - proceedings the follow
ing tributes to the memory of Senator Foot,
of Vermont. In the Senate:
Mr. Slimier said: Mr. President, there is
• a truce in this chamber. The antagonism
of debate is hushed. The echoes-of con
flict have died away. The white flag is
flying. From opposite camps we come to
gether to bury the dead. It is a Senator
that we bury, not a soldier.
This is the second time during the present
ssion that we have been called to mourn
a distinguished Senator from Vermont. It
was much to bear such a loss once. Its re
newal now, after so brief a period, is a
calamity without precedent in the history
of the Senate. No State before has ever
lost two Senators so near together.
Mr. Foot, at his death, was the oldest
Senator in continuous service. He entered
the Senate in the same Congress with the
Senator from Ohio (Mr. Wade) and myself;
but he was sworn in at the called session in
March, while the two others were not
sworn in - till the succeeding December.
During this considerable space of time I
have been the constant witness to his life
and conversation. It is with a sentiment of
gratitude that I look back upon our rela
tions, never from the beginning impaired
or darkened by any difference. For one
brief moment he seemed disturbed by
something that fell from me in the uncon
scious intensity of my convictions, but it
was for a brief moment only, and he took
my hand with a genial grasp. I make
haste, also, to declare my sense of his per
sonal purity and his incorruptible nature.
' Such elements of character, exhibited and
proved throughout a long service, render
F;m an example for all. He is gone, but
• these virtues "smell sweet and blossom in
' the dust."
He was excellent in judgment. He was
excellent in speech also, so that whenever
be spoke, the wonder was that he who spoke
so twell, should speak so rarely. He was
full, clear, direct, emphatic, and never was
diverted from the thread of his argument.
Had he been moved to mingle actively in
debate, he must have exerted a command
ing influence over opinion in the Senate and
in the country. How often we have
watched him tranquil in his seat, while
others, without his experience or weight,
occupied attention. The reticence which
was part of his nature formed a contrast to
that prevailing effusion where sometimes
the facility of speech is less remarkable than
the inability to keep silent; and again, it
formed a contrast to that controversial spirit
which too often, like an unwelcome wind,
puts out the light while it fans a flame. And
yet in his treatment of questions he was
never incomplete or perfunctory. If he did
not say with the orator and parliamentarian
of France, the famous founder of the Doc
trinaire school of politics, M. Royer Collard,
that he had too Much respect for his audi
ence ever to ask attention to anything which
he had not first reduced to writing, it was
evident that he never spoke in the Senate
without careful preparation. You do not
forget his commemoration of his late col
league, only a few short weeks ago, when
he delivered a funeral oration notunworthy
of the French school from which this form
of eloquence is derived. Alas! as we list
ened to that most elaborate eulogy. shaped
by study and penetrated by feeling, how
little did 'we think that it was so soon to be
echoed back from his own tomb.
It was not in our debates only that this
self-abnegation showed itself. He quietly
Withdrew from places of importance on
committees to which he was entitled, and
which he would have filled with honor.
More than once I have known him to insist
that another should take the position as
, signed to himself. He was far from that
nature which Lord Bacon exposes in pun
gent humor when he speaks of "extreme
self-lovers, who would burn a house in order
to roast their eggs." And yet it must not be
disguised that he was happy in the office of
Senator. It was to him as much as his
"dukedom" to Prospero. He felt its honors
And confessed it duties. But he was content.
He desired nothing more. Perhaps no per
son appreciated so thoroughly what it was
to bear the commission of a State in this
chamber. Surely no person appreciated so
thoroughly all the dignities which belong to
-.the Senate. Of its ceremonial he was the
admitted arbiter. There was no jealousy,
envy or uncharitableness in him. He en
joyed what others did, and praised gene
rously. He knew that his own just position
could not be disturbed by the success of an- ,
Vther. Whatever another may be, whether
more or less, a man must always be him
self. A true man is a positive, and not a re
lative quality. Properly inspired, he will
know that, in a just sense,
nobody can
stand in the way of another. And here let
xne add that in proportion as this truth en
ters into practical life we shall become asso
ciates and coadjutors rather than rivals.
How plain that, in the infinite diversity of
character and talent, there is a place for
every one. This world is wide enough for
all its inhabitants; this Republic is grand
enough for all its people. Let every one
serve in his place according to the 'faculties
that have been given to him.
In the long warfare with slavery, Mr.
Foot was from the beginning firmly and
constantly on the side of freedom. He was
against the deadly compromises of 1850. He
linked his shield in the small but solid pha
lanx of the Senate which opposed the Ne
braska bill. He was faithful in the defence
of Kansas, menaced by slavery. And when
at last this barbarous rebel took up arms,he
-pted the issue, and did all he could for
country.
: had always looked with delight upon
th apitol—one of the most remarkable
edi es of the world—beautiful in itself but
mo : beautiful as the emblem of that na
tional unity which he loved so well. He
enjoyed its enlargement and improvement.
He watched with pride its marble columns
as they moved into place, and its dome as . it
ascended into the skies. Even the trials
of the war did not make him forget it. His
care secured those appropriations by which
the work was carried to its close, and the
Statue of Liberty was installed on its sub
lime pedestal. It was natural that in his
last moments, as life was failing fast, be
should long to rest his eyes upon an object'
which was to him so dear. The early light'
of morning had come, and he was lifted in'
his bed that he might once more behold ,
this capitol with mortal sight;: but there ,
was another capitol which had already.
began to fill his vision, fairer than your
marble columns, sublimer than your dome;
where Liberty without any statue is glori
fied in that service which is perfect Free-'
dom.
Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, then rose, as
Ise said, to pay a brief tribute to the virtues
of a lamented colleague. Such virtues can
not fail to show how it is and what it is to
Lope for the life after death, and., the value
of faith. The life of a Christian than, its in
fluence on earth and its joy over it in Hea
ven are seen in this man, who, dying, felt
itpliorne by angel hands, and exclaimed,
"The gates are open. I' see it I I see it!
Beautiful! Beautiful!"
It is not enough that the record of such
virtues should live in the saddened memo
ries of his family. It should also form part
of the records of the - Senate. His public
career is well known, and has been well and
truly narrated by his colleague. Honest in
All things, his principles were adopted in the
belieftbat they would lead to general good,
and not Merely for purposes of party. He
firmly belieyed-that the welfare of the coon
-!try could only be attained by the perpetua.
4km of the Union, and in the hour of peril he
miner doubted latriumph—he never doubt
ed but that the patriotism of,the country
would find the means to save it; and when
be died he found that his faith'had been well
placed.
None could ever forget his presence, his
benevolence, his delicacy and dignity of
manner. None can forget the noble history
of his last moments, prefigured so grandly
in his own eulogy on a former colleague, on
an occasion no less solemn and no less sad.
Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, said: But yes
terday he stood among us, imposing in the
beauty and stateliness or perfect manhood,
his face beaming with kindness, his whole
aspect dignified and serene, glowing with
health ancl vigor. To-day all that is mortal
of our friend and brother reposes. in a dis
tant grave among those by whom he was
loved, trusted and honored; a grave watered
by many tears and venerated with a sacred
love, while the true and noble spirit which
once animated that frame has ascended to
give an account of its mission upon earth,
and to the enjoyment, as we may well
believe, of the reward of a well- spent life. An
event like this becomes the more startling
when following closely upon another
scarcely less impressive scene of the same
sad character. In a single session of the
Senate, within a few short weeks, we hear
the announcement that death has laid his
icy fingers upon both of the representatives
from one of the States of this body, at a
time when the loss of such men is most
severely felt. That State has many noble
and most worthy eons, . among whom she
may choose for places of trust and honor;
but no State can give at once to the public
councils an assurance which time only be
stowed, and that fitness which experience
alone can perfectly secure.
• * * The crowning honor of his public
life more than all else was, that whatever he
did, however he might act, no spot was left
upon the perfect enamel of his character—
nothing could stain his whiteness. In all
that he did the purity of his character shone
out brightly.
Mr. Brown, of Missouri, said; Among the
first who extended to me the hand of wel-
come upon my entrance into this body, he
emphasized that welcome by a cordial man
ner, a refined courtesy, an unselfish gui
dance, and from that hour until the hour of
his departure, I can truly say, that I relied
upon his friendship with a confidence as
absolute as though it had been the growth
of years. It seemed as though the anima
tion of his noble nature shone out each day
from hisperson,
that a countenancein which
was blended boldness and sweetness, gave
true index of the spirit within; and such as
he seemed I ever found him to be a man
free from guile, pure in patriotism, clear of
faith, upright, punctual, deliberate and
wise. With the wisdom which comes of
observation,which develops in action rather
than argument, and which is serene because
it is ever charitable; of a large type of intel
lect, capable of most moving speech, grace
ful beyond most in elocution,he was seldom
heard in the debates of this chamber; and
yet it will be said of him that few, if any,•
better fulfilled the proper duties of. a Sena
tor, or did more thoroughly the work
assigned him,either by constituents or com
peers; often chosen to preside here, emi
nently worthy of such iiignity, possessed
with a voice rich in melody, quick of appre
hension amid diverse questionings,qttalified
in judgment, yet modest in affirmation, he
became at last the oracle of the Senate, to
whom all referred in disputed matters of
parliamentary ruling. Observant, scrupu
lously observant of the forms and ceremo
nies that usage has grown like mosses
around the procedure of this, the most
most august deliberative body in the world,
he was even yet more deferential to duty
than to form or ceremony. Indeed, I think
if he had one dominant element that ruled
all else in his evenly balanced mind,it was a
rigid, unswerving sense of duty that would
suffer no consideration to set aside its claim
—a sense of duty to which, in the prime of a
vigorous • physical development, he, by too
assiduous devotion, sacrificed his life. But
why do I say sacrificed this life? Has he
not rather gone to the eternal life beyond
those "beautiful gates" which shone upon
his fading vision with unearthly splendor,
into the everlasting tabernacles of light and
love to dwell forever with his God?
Mr. Pomeroy, of Kansas,
then paid an
earnest tribute of gratitude to the memory
of the dead legislator. He reviewed the of
forts of Mr. Foot in behalf of the anti
slavery struggle in Kansas, and rapidly re
counted the benefits which those exertions
had conferred upon that State, in which Mr.
Pomeroy thought his memory would be
perpetuated by the conferring of his name
in grateful remembrance upon children yet
un born.
Mr. Cragin, of New Hampshire, praised
warmly the political and private integrity
of Mr. Foot, and to him attributed much of
his own early inception of sound political
principles to guide him in his discharge of
the arduous duties of a legislator.
Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont, spoke in
terms of warm eulogy of his predecessor.
Hehad known him for years as a man of
highest integrity and purest morals.
Mr. McDougall, of California, said Mr.
Foot >vas one of the really great men of the
times in which he lived. If he had a harp
he would sing to him as David sang to
Saul.
In the House of Representatives the de
ceased Senator was thus honored:
Mr. Woodbridge, of Vermont, in the
course of an eloquent speech, said: He did
not resemble the mountain, towering to the
skies, barren and useless, from its height,
but rather the lower eminence, whose sum
mit covered with forest, and whose soil is
trailing with the, yellow corn.! Senator
Foot's word was as good as his ;,bond. A
patriotic man, he loved his land because it
was his own, and setrned to •give aught
other reason why. When the first gun was
fired at Fort Sumter, and the cry of arms
echoed from peak to peak of the mountains
of his native State, he infused into the peo
ple his own heroic and enthusiastic nature,
so popular at home; beloved honored and
trusted, he alwaysand everywhere proved
himself ‘.‘at , honest man," the noblest work
of Gcd.
Mr. Banks, of Massachtusetts, said: It was
not extravagant praise to Say that, looking
back on his services in the Senate for a pe
riod of sixteen years, amid complications
and periLs'unprecedented in American an
nals, he•had left nothing in word or deed
which‘ could be wished blotted out from the
record. He satisfied the country which he
served, and strengthened the cause. which
he honored with his support. His life
rounded to its full period, ended with the
respect of his adversaries, the confidence of
his constituents, the affectibn of his friends,
and the approval of the world. His career
proved that success in public life is not in
consistent with strict integrity,and that dis
simulation and corruption ; ere not neces
sary attendants on public ! service. Refer
ring to the circumstances attending Senator
Foot's death, Mr. Banks said there was one
thought, one last thought, which rested
upon him—it was for his country. He wa s
elevated from his dying couch that his eyes
might rest upon its Capitol, the massive
columns, the extended wings, the sculp
tured emblems of its peace, its progress and
its, prosperity; the rising dome, the Goddess
of Liberty surmounting all and pointing
the way he was to follow, filled his soul
with the last sense of earthly pleasure, it
was the palace of the people, the Temple of
Licerty, the emblem of his country, and
with that majestic thought and spirit pho
tographed on his soul he passed from earth
to God. Let his translation be for us an in
struction and an example.
Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, said—To have
been honored and trusted by such a people
to the extent that Mr. Foot was honored and
trusted is one of the highest compliments
that could have been paid to a public man.
As has been stated, he entered the Senate in
1850, and, being twice re-elected, served con
tinuously till the time of his death. Hence
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL :13,1866
he served through the most exciting and
turbulent period! of our whole legislative
history, and was a participant in the revo
lutionary scenes which, to the philosophic
observer, were the omens of that terrible
civil war that has drenched our country in
blood. I saw him in the Senate in the Thirty
third Congress, one of the little band of
courageous and patriotic men who resisted
with unsurpassed ability and eloquence the
repeal of the Missouri compromise.
I saw him when the slaveholders, in the
pride and insolence of t4ieir power, under
took to "crush out" in the Senate every
aspiration for liberty, and every noble and
elevated sentiment of freedom; when trea
son, upheld by a perfidous and treacherous
Executive, stalked through the Senate hall
with brazen impudence, and when the gal
leries howled their applause of traitors.
Undaunted and undismayed, while all the
political elements were lashed into fury
around him, he bore himself in a manner
becoming an American Senator, and coura
geously vindicated his own opinions, and
the sentiments and convictions of his own
liberty-loving constituents.
"Among innumerable false, unmoved,
tnseaken,unseduced unten I tied,
His loyalty be kept, his love, hls zeaL"
*
Mr. Speaker, when we comtemplate the
great changes that have taken place among
the public men who were associated witn
Mr. Foot when he first entered the Senate,
and since the time when you and I first en
tered these balls, we are admonished how
fleeting and evanescent are all things hu
man. How few are left to struggle on but
yet a little while longer, to buffet the waves
and encounter the storms and tempests of
political life:
"Apparent rani nantes ingursttevasto."
Vermont mourns the lo,ss of her faithful
and devoted public servant, and the nation
shares in her grief. He followed alas! too
soon him who had so lately been his col
league. The mournful accents of eulogy pro
nounced in this chamber upon the illustri
ous CoHamer had scarcely did away before
we were called upon to follow to the grave
his companion, adviser, friend, so long as
sociated with him in the service of the coun
try.
These two great American Senators, both
alike eminent for their Christian virtues,
their eminent statesmanship, their devoted
patriotism, their long and useful public
services, and their_ unsullied integrity, have
passed away, and the places on earth that
have known them will know them no more
forever. They have gone, but they have left
to the country the richest legacy in the re
collection of their well spent and honored
lives.
Mr. Dawson, sf Pennsylvania, pro
nounced a brief and feeling eulogy on the
deceased. He esteemed it a privilege,which
any just man might seek, to add his voice
to the general expressions of sorrow. Sena
tor Foot was the Nestor among his official
peers. The opini6 ns of few men were sought
with more respect or received with more
reverence than were his. In the midst of a
revolution second only to the reign of ter
ror which drenched France with blood,
when all the fiercest passions of the country
were raised, his councils were ever for mod
eration and justice, soothing and subduing
the vengeful feelings of the times. He was
eminently a good and mild man,combining
the modesty of a woman with the constancy
and integrity of Cato. His moral character
was above reproach. He was fearless and
determined in the assertion of right, but he
was equally careful of the rights of others.
He sleeps in the same soil with his late col
league, Senator Collamer, and no moun
tains kept guard over two better men or
nobler patriots than did the green moun
tains of Vermont,
, Mr. Grinnell, of lowa, was the next
speaker. He said the words of affection
were few, and these only should he utter.
His early years were spent near the moun
tain home of the lamented Senator. He had
given him assurance of his friendship. Bi
ography would place • the deceased in the
front rank of American gentlemen and
statesmen. The town of Cornwall, Vt., the
birthplace of Senator Foot, and which he
always spoke of with pride and emotion,
bad a population of not less than a thousand
souls less than it had at the beginning of
the century, and yet it had the honor of fur
nishing, in addition to an intelligent yeo
manry, thirty-six educated clergymen,
eighteen lawyers, twenty-three physicians
and fourteen professional teachers. In its
church Solomon Foot was baptized, and he
left its school to become a teacher and a col
lege graduate, and afterwards the founder
and bead of an institution of learning. He
was proud of his origin, and his filial affec
tion was an augury of future fidelity and de
votion to the national weal. As a husband
and father he was loving and beloved; as a
choler be was without pechintry. He was
persuasive in eloquence, yet abstemious in
speech. He was genial as a companion,
unwavering in friendship, and in society he
was "pliant as reeds where streams of free
dom glide." In conclusion, Mr. Grinnell
said : The bereaved and gallant people of
Vermont, millions are in mourning with
you to-day. Memorable in history and con
spicuous in the service of your public men,
it has been your fortune to furnish a nobler
exemplar for the nations, reflecting in char
acter the grandeur of your evergreen
mountains, and recalling by the purity of
his life the clear waters distilled in your
rugged cliffs.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, delivered the
closing eulogy. Among other things ho
said : As a speaker before a popular audi
ence Mr. Foot occupied no mean rank. His
noble figure and full-toned voice at once
arrested attention. Never begrudging pre
liminary preparation, his speeches were
clear, forcible and well -sustained to the
end. His style never lacked elevation, and
without being ornate was affluent and scho
larly. Though admirable in temper, he
could yet enjoy invective at times with
crushing effect, and declaimed with the
daring impetuosity of a master who felt able
to both ride and guide the storm he was
creating. But his great strength lay in his
absolute earnestness. His voice gave forth
no uncertain sound. No man ever heard
him speak and went away in doubt as to his
meaning, or as to which side of the argu
ment he had espoused. Havingsatisfied his
own judgment that he was right, he em
barked his whole soul and strained every
nerve in his effort to bring his audience to
the same conclusions with himself. He
was both sincere and
_positive, and utterly
incapable of guile or double-dealing. His
integrity, moral and political, was as firmly
fixed as the mountains beneath whose
shadow he was born, and there was never
any doubt or speculation upon any question
as to where he would be found. When he
spoke, therefore, he brought to bear not
only cogent argument but the influence of
a true man—the weight of an experienced
Imislator.
As Chairman of the Committee on Public
Buildings, he had for a long period taken a
deep interest in the work of the Capitol ex
tension. His ideas were liberal—co-exten
sive with the grandeur of the nation, and
he would build well and for all time. He
felt a pride in the splendors of the structure,
fondly contemplated the time when the sur
rounding grounds should be enlarged, and
believed in the end the world would not be
able to show Government buildings and
grounds more imposing or so appropriately
magnificent. It was the capitol of a nation
of freemen ! What wonder, then, that he
should in his last hour close the drama by
wishing to be so raised in his bed that his
eyes might once more behold the rays of the
morning sun glittering upon the msjestio
dome and illuminating those halls wherein
be had long been so noted as an actor.
He was a modest man. and obeyed the
gospel precept "not to think of himself more
highly than be ought to think," and
esteemed others better than himself. Pew
who spoke so well have been able to conten
themselves with speaking so unfrequently.
He always appeared to underrate his own
performances, and never, I believe, circu
lated any of his speeches in pamphlet form;
but he was generous and hearty in his ap
preciation and circulation of those made by
others.
He was a man of courage. When he
served in this. House, belonging to the old
Whig party, the great radical Abolitionist,
from the Ohio Ashtabula district, was also a
member. Anti-slavery sentiments in those
days found little favor anywhere, and here
encountered fiercest hate, and frequent vio
lence on the part of slaveholding represen
tatives. Mr. Giddidgs once told me that
upon one occasion, when he had uttered
some unwelcome truth about the institution
of barbarous memory, one of these chivalric
representatives rushed toward him, evident
ly bent on mischief, and that Foot at once
sprang to his side ready to meet the aggres
sor. The promptness of this action, and the
firm port of Mr. Foot awed the would-be as
sassin, and he retired to his seat. Nobody,
said Mr. Giddings, could doubt the meaning
or the one or the other.
The delicate, as well as difficult, duty of
making up the various committees of the
Senate frequently fell to his lot, and it was
always done with great discretion and fair
ness. Here his modesty was apparent, for
he never so carved as to leave t.te choicest
parts to himself.
Mr. Foot was industrious, methodical,
punctual to all appointments, and never
postponed the work of to-day for the greater
leisure of to-morrow. Whatever he aimed
to do he aimed to do well. He was proud,
of Vermont, loved her history and woraher
honors worthily. But he was not too
proud to labor for his humblest constituent,
nd he added lustre to his State and honor
o the natipn.
If it be that God loves those who are
ready for His coming "in such an hour as
ye think not," or those He takes while yet
in the full enjoyment of all their strength
and hopes—with mind and reputation as
well as faith in the grace of God undimmed
—then was Senator Foot fortunate as he_was
happy at the time of his death. Life was
at its acme, and he filled as large a space in
the world as his highest ambition had ever
coveted. He had not tired himself, nor was
the. world tired by his presence, but he
seemed to see as with a heavenly vision a
welcome awaiting him, in the new world to
which he was hastening, and exclaimed "I
see it ! I see it ! The gates are wide open!
beautiful! beautiful !"
Senator Foot was pre-eminently a large
hearted man—nursing no ill-natured jeal
ousies in himself nor in others; far less did
he indulge in any malice, and was the
readiest man I have ever know to forget
and forgive a seeming neglect or actual in
jury. Opponents never found his tongue
lubricated by the serpent's poison, nor did
his friends ever find themselves "damned
by faint praise," for he was lukewarm in
nothing, but distributed praise and blame
openly, manfully, and with a most refresh
ing unction. For his friends he was ready
to make any sacrifices, and he obeyed their
behests with a cordial alacrity never to be
forgotten by those whom his position, official
or otherwise, enabled him to assist. Our
volunteer soldiers and officers, so sud
denly called from industrial avo
cations to put down the great
rebellion, received his homage and
tenderest solicitude. Of these he felt that
the dead were all martyrs, the living alt
heroes, and his gratitude was unbounded.
In his own State no public man ever pos
sessed more of the affections of the people,
as was sufficiently shown by his almost
unanimous election by the Vermont Legis
lature for a third term to the Senate of the
United States. He always met his col
leagues with the most cordial salutations;
no ill-wind ever rippled even the surface or
their intercourse, and the most genial and
affectionate relations were maintained up
to the latest moments of his life. His loss
to his family is irreparable, and so pro
found is their grief as to find no solace save
in the contemplation of the sublimity of the
dying Senator's Christian faith. The last
utterances of great men are often treasured
np and serve to prove the strength of some
ruling, possibly petty, passion of the de
ceased; but rarely have the last words of
any man been so fit to be reported to the
world, or such as to be more likely to .be
forever engraven on the hearts of his friends
than those of Senator Foot. Without an
enemy in the world; loving God and glow
ing with affection for all, and especially for
all of those who visited him in his last
hours—with eyes still beaming with all their
wonted brilliancy—his unimpassioned
words, so clearly articulated, so lovingly
tender, wer well calculated to touch every
hey rt by their wonderful pullet..
Honored Senator! True Patriot! Faithful
friend! Farewell!
