To the Iriends who urged him to remain to the end ol his term, and who incited that his mind was as good as ever, he would an swer that it was good enough yet to lei him know that he ought to quit otlice be fore his mind ouit him, and that he did not mean to risk the fate ol the Arch-bishop of Grenada. He resigned his Senatorial lion- ors, as he had worn them, meekly, unos tentatiously, in a letter of thanks and gra titude to Ihe General Assembly ol his Slate, and gave to repose at home that in terval of thought and quietutie wmcn every wise mart would wish to place between the turmoil of life and Ihe stillness of eter nity. He had nine year, ol this tranquil enjoyment, and died without pain or suf fering, June 'jyth, 1SJ, cnaracterisiio in Heath as in life. It was eight o'clock in the morning when he felt that the supreme hour had come, had himsell full-dressed with hi hahi'.ual neatness, walked in the room and lav upon the bed, by turn, con versing kindly with those who were about him, and showing by his conduct that h was readv and waitins, but hurrying noth in".

His firmness, his patriotism, Ids sef'-d nial, his devotion to duty, and disr'-eurd i f office and emolument ; his modesty, integrity, 8-i!-contiol, and mi'jerlion of conduct to the convictions of reason and the dictates oftirtue, all so steadily exemplified in a long life, were a'l shown from the early nge of rinhleen, in the miniature repn sen tation ol individual acli':ii, and only con firmed in the subsequent public 'Xlnbilions of a long, beautilul, and exalted career. lie was of tb.it ag', and n student at Princeton College, nt the time ol the De claration of American Independence. A small volunteer corps was then on the Delaware. He qmt his books, joined il, and served a term, returned lo Princeton, and resumed his studies. In the year 1 71 S (be Southern Stales had become a buttle field, tig with tlu ir ov n fate, ntid possibly involving the i.isiie ol the war. British fleets and arini' S appeared there, strongly supported by Ihe friends of the British cause; and the conquest of Ihe South was fully counted upon. Help was needed in these States; and Mr. Macon, quitting col lege, returned to his native county inNorih Carolina, joined a militia company as a private, .and inarched to South. Carolina, then Ihe theatre ol the enemy's operations. He had his share in all the hardships and disasters of that trying time ; was at Ihe bill of Fott Moultiie, surrender of Charles Ion, defeat at Camden, and in the rapid winter retreat across the upper part of North Carolina. He was in the camp on the left bank of the Yadkin when the sud den flooding of that liver, in the brief in terval between the crossing of the Ameri cans and Ihe coming up ol the British, ar rested Ihe pursuit of Curnwallis, and ena bled Greene to allow s.nne rvst to bis wearied and exhausted men. In this camp, destitute of every thing, and with gloomy prospects ahead, a summons came to Air. Macon Irom the Governor of jSortti Caro lina requiring him to attend a meeting of the General Assembly, of which he had been elected a member, without his knowl edge, ,y the people of his county. lie refused lo go ; and lie incident being talk ed of through the camp came to the knowl edge of the General. Greene was a mm himsell and able to know a min. He felt at orce that if this report was true, this young soldier was no common character, and determined to verify the (act. He sent (or the young man, inquired of him, heard the truth, and then asked for Ihe reason ol this unexpected conduct this preference' lor a sufleiing camp over a comfortable seat in the General Assembly 1 Mr. Macon answeri d him, in his quaint and sententious wav, that he had seen the filers ol ihe Bri tish many times, but had never seen tluir buck, and meant 'o stay in -the army lill he did; Gieene instantly saw Ihe material the young man was made of, and (he han dle by which he was lo be worked. That material was patriotism ; that handle a Kfiise of duly ; and laying hold of this handle he quickly woiked Ihe young sol dier into a liilT. reiit conclusion from the one that he had arrived at. lie lol.l him he could do more good as a member ol the General Assembly than as a soldier; that in (be ormv he was but one man, and in ihe General Assembly he might obtain many, with the supplies tbev needed, by showing the destitution and sufT ring whiih be had seen in the camp, and thai it was his duty to go. This iew nf duty and usefulness was decisive. Mr. Macon obey ed the govi rnoi's summons, and by his representation contributed to obtain the supplies which enabled Greene to turn hack and face Coi invallis, light him, clip pie him, drive him (urtln r back than he had advanced, (lor Wilmington is south ol Camden) disable him from remaining in ihe South (of wliich, up lo Ihe battle of Guil ford, he believed tun s-1 1 to ne ma-frj aim sending him to Yorktown, where he was captured, and the war ended. - The philosophy of history has not yet laid hold ol the battle of Guilford, its con sequences and ellecls. That battle made the capture of Yorktown. The events are told in every history ; their connexion and dependence in none. It broke up the plan of Coriiwallis in I lie South, and chan ged the plan o Washington in the North. Cornwallis was to subdue the Soulhern State, and was doing it until Greene turn ed nnon him at Guilford. Washington was occupied with Sir Henry Clinton, then in ol Western land (or that day's work, now worth a million ol d iPars ; but the day it- President to the day laborer no other tie, or to a vote which would n a'ie a tie, lil.V being necessary to enter hi houe but claimed hi contilutioDaJ light lo rota as that of an hone.t man; rich enough to , member, obtained i', gava the vote, made New York wilh 12,000 Brilish troops. He had lormed the heroic design to cap lure Clinton and his army (Ihe French fleet co-operaling) in that city, and thereby pur ting an end to the war. All ni preparj- tion were going on for that grand consum mation. when he cot the new of Ihe battle ol Guilford, Ihe retreat of Cornwall! to Wilmington, his inability to keen (lie hem in the South, and his return northward through the lower part of irgmia. it saw bis advantage an easier lrey ami Ihe same result if uccess(nl. Coinwallis or Clinton, or either ol them captured would pdl an end to the war. Washington changeu hi plan, deceived Clinton, moved rapidly upon (ho weaker general, captured him and hi 7,000 men and ended Ihe war. The battle of Guilford put that capture in to Washington' hand, and thu Guilford and Yorktown became connected ; and the philosophy of history howf their de- snf has not yet obtained its proper place in American his'ory. The milit iry life of Mr. Macon finished with big departure from the camp on the Yadkin, and his civil public lile commen ced on his arrival at the General Assembly to which he .had been summoned that civil puMic lile in win c 11 tie was continued ubove forty years by Iree elections Rep- esenfalive in Congress under Washington, Adams, and Madison, and long Speaker of 111" House: Senutcx in ('onrress under M:i lis in, Monroe, and John Qnincv Ad ams, and often elected President' of the Smale, and until voluntarily declining; bve relusitig to b Puslmasler-General under Jefferson ; never taking any office but that to-whirli he was elected ; and re signing his lai-l Senatorial teim v h n it was only half run. But a characteristic (tail remains to be told ol his military life one that has neither prvceedeiil or imi t.ition, ('he example of Washington being out ol liie line ol comparison,) he refused to receive pay or to accept promotion, ami served three years as a piivate through mere devotion to his comdry. And ell the long length of hislif- was conformable to this patriotic and disinterested begin ning; and thus the patriotic principles of Ihe future Senator were all revealed in early lile, and in (he obscurity of an un known situation. Conformably to this beginning, he relused to trke anything un der the modern arls of Congress for the benefit of Ihe sut viving officers and soldiers of Ihe revolution, and voted against them all, saying they had all suffered alike, (citi zens ami military) and all been rewarded together in the establishment of independ ence; that (he deb( (o (he army had been settled by pay, by pension to the wounded, by half-pay and land to the officers ; that no military claipi could be founded on de preciated continental paper-money, from which the civil functionaries who perform ed service, and Ihe farmers who furnished supplies sulli red as much as any. On this principle he voted against the bill for La fayette, against all the modern revolution ary pensions and land bounty nets, and relused to take anything under them, (for many were applicable to himself.) Ilis political principles were deep-rooted, innate, suljecl to no change and (o no l inaclinicrv ol party, lie was IJemocratic in the broad sense of (be word, as signify ing a capacity in (be people (or sell-government, and in its patty sense as in favor of a plain am! economical administration of the federal Government, and against the latitudinal ian constructions of the Consti tution. He was a pnrtv man, not in the hackneyed sense of the word, but only where principle was concerned, find was independent ol party in all his social rela tions, and in all the proceedings which he I disapproved Ol ibis he gave a strong in stance in the case of General Hamilton, whom he deemed honoiable and patriotic, and utterly refused to be concerned in a movement propn"d to affect him p- rsonul ly, though politically opposed to him. He venerated Washington, ad mi led Ihe varied abilities and high qualities of Hamilton, and esteemed and respected (he eminent Federal gentlemen of hi.s lime. He had nirectiona'e regard for Madson and Monroe ; but Mr. Jefferson wa- to him (he full and perfect exemplification of the Republican statesman. His almost fitly years of polit ical friendship and association wilh Mr. Randolph is historical, und indisolubly connects their nanus and memories in the recollection of their friends and in history, if it does tin m justice. He was the earlv friend nf Gen-ral Jackson, and intimate with him w hen he was a Senator in Con- rcss under the administration of Ihe elder .Mr. Adams, and was able to teil Congress ind the world who hi' was when he began to astonish huiope and America by his victories. was a kind observer of the conduct of young men, encouraging them hy judicious commendation when he saw them making efforts lo become useful and respectable, and never noting Iheir fault. He was just in nil things, and in that most lilicult ol all things, judging political op ponents, lo whom he would do no wron?, not merely in worn or act, hut in thnugl t. He Minke Jr. qni'iitly in Congress, always to the point, am) br'n fly and wisely , and w as one ol those speakers winch Mr. Jel fi rson described Dr. Franklin lo be a speaker ol no pretension and great perform ance, who spoke more good sense while he was getting up out of his cbnir and get ting back into it than many other did in long discourses j and he suffered no report er to tlrets ;:p a speech for him. He was above (he pursuit of wealth, but also a'jove dependance and idleness; and, like an old Koman ot the elder Cato's time, worked in the fields at the head ol Ins slaves in (he in tervals of public duly ; and did not cease Ibis la1.. or until advancing age rendered him unable to stand Ihe hot sun of the summer the only season ol the year when Senatorial duties left him al liberty to work in his field. I think it was the summer of 1817 he told me wa Ihe last he fried i(, and lound the un too hot lor him (hen sixty years of age, a Senator, and the refu- erol all office. How ollen I think of him, when I ee al Washington robusiiou men going through a fcene of supplication, tribulation, and degradation to obtain olfice which the salvation o the soul doe not Impoie upon the vileet sinner! His fields, his (locks, and his herds yielded an ample supply ot domestic productions. A sma crop ol tobacco three hogshead when the season was ood, two when had pur chaser! the exotics which comfort and ne. cessity required, and which the farm did not produce. He was not rch, hut rich enough to dispense hospitality and chanty to receive an guest in hi boue, Irom in bring up hi family (two daughters) a ac complished ladies, and marry them lo ac complished eentlemen one to William Martin, Eq., the other to William Ealon, Esq., nf Roanoke, my early choo!-fellow and friend for more than half a century ; and, above all, he was rich enough to pay 89 he went, and never to owe a dollar to any man. He was steadfast in his friendships, and would slake himself for a friend, tint would violute no point of public duly to please or oblitfi! him. Of this his relation vtiih Mr. Randolph ave a siininl instance. Ho drew a knife to defend him in the theatre at Phi ladelphia w hen menanced by eome naval and military officers fur words spoken in a debate, and deemed offensive to their profession! yet, w hen Speaker of the House of P.epreien latives, he displeased Mr. Randolph from the bead of the Committee of Way and Means, because the chairman nf that com mittee fhould be on terms of political friend whip with iho Administration, which Mr. Randolph had then t eased to be with Mr. Jefferson's. He was above Executive office, even the hiehest the President could pive; but not above the lowest the people could cive, taking thai of justica of the peace in his county and refining that of Postmaster. General nt Washintton. Ha was opposed to nepotism and all quaiteiine of his couuex inns on the Government ; and in the course of bis forty years' service, w ith the absolute friendship of many Administrations and Ihe perfect respect of all, he never had office or contract for any nf his blond. He lefused lo be a candidate for the Vice-Presidency, but took ihe place of elector on the Van Buren ticket in 1836. He was against piper money and the paper system, and was accustomed to present Ihe strong argument against it in the simple phrase, thai this was a hard-mo ney Government, made by hard-money men, n ho had seen Ihe evils of paper money, and TtniCJLY AND RCSaiA.
