Death Of President TaylOr.
Eulogies in Congress.
The death of President TAYLOR, on being of
ficially announced, drew forth from several
members of the Senate and House, eloquent and
highly appropriate eulogiums on the character
and services of the deceased. Last week we
gave the remarks of Mr. Walls Tan, in the Sen
ate, and we now give some of the speeches made
in the House. They will all be read with lively
interest:
SPEECH OF MR. WINTHROP.
Mr. WlNTnnor, of Massachusetts,
said : It would not be easily excused,
Mr. Speaker, by those whom I represent
in this Hall, if there were no Massachu
setts voice to respond to the eulogy
which has been pronounced by Louisi
ana upon her illustrious and lamented
son. Indeed, neither my personal feel
ings nor my political relations to the liv
ing or to the dead, would permit me to
remain altogether silent on this occasion.
And yet, sir, I confess, I know not how
to say any thing satisfactory to myself,
or suitable to the circumstances of the
hour.
The event which has Just been offici
ally announced, has come upon us so
suddenly—has so overwhelmed us with
mingled emotions of surprise and sad
ness—that all ordinary forms of expres
sion seem to lose their significance, and
one would fain bow his head to the blow
in silence, until its first shock has in
some degree passed away.
Certainly, sir, no one can fail to real
ize that a most momentous and myste
rious Providence has been manifested in
our midst. At a moment when, more
than almost ever before in our history,
the destinies of our country seemed, to
all human sight, to be inseparably asso
ciated with the character And conduct
of its Chief Executive Magistrate, that
Magistrate has been summoned from his
post, by the only messenger whose man
dates he might not have defied, and has
been withdrawn forever from the sphere
of human existence!
There are those of 0 ,, I need not say,
sir, who had looked to him with affec
tion and reverence as our chosen leader
and guide in the difficulties and perplex
ities by which we are surrounded.—
There are those of us who had relied
confidently on him, as upon no other
man, to uphold the Constitution and
maintain the Union of the country in
that future, upon which " clouds and
darkness" may well be said to rest.—
And, as we now behold him, borne away
by the hand of God from our sight, in
the very hoar of peril, we can hardly re
' press the exclamation, which was applied
to the departing prophet of old: "My
father, my father ! the chariot of Israel
and the horsemen thereof."
Let me not even seem to imply, how
ever, that the death of Gen. TAYLOR is
any thing less than a National loss.—
There may be, and we know there is, in
this event, n privileged and pre-eminent
grief for his immediate family relatives,
to which we can only offer the assu
rance of our heartfelt sympathy. There
is, toc, a peculiar sorrow for his politi
cal friends and supporters, which we
would not affect to conceal. But the
whole people of the United States will
feel, and will bear witness, when they
receive these melancholy tidings, that
they have all been called to sustain a
most afflicting National bereavement.
I hazard nothing, sir, in saying, that
the roll of our Chief Magistrates, since
1789, 'illustrious as it is, presents the
name of no man who has enjoyed a high
er reputation with his contemporaries,
or who will enjoy a higher reputation
with posterity, than ZACHARY TAYLOR,
for some of the best and noblest qualities
which adorn our nature.
His indomitable courage, his unim
peachable honesty, his Spartan simplici
ty and sagacity, kindness, moderation,
and inngnanimi.y, his fidelity to his
friends, his generosity and humanity to
his enemies, the purity of his private
life, the patriotism of his public princi
ples, will never cense to be cherished in
the grateful remembrance of all just
men and all true-hearted Americans.
As a Soldier and a General, his fame
is associated with some of the proudest
and most thrilling scenes of our military
history. He may be literally said to
have conquered every enemy he has met,
save only that last enemy, to which we
must all, in turn, surrender. . .
As a Civilian and Statesman, during
the brief period in which he has been
permitted to enjoy the transendent hon
ors which a grateful country had award
ed him, he has given proof of a devotion
to duty, of an attachment to the Consti
tution and the Union, of n patriotic de
termination to maintain the Peace of our
country, which no trials or temptations
could shake. He has borne his faculties
meekly, but firmly. He has been "clear
in his great office." He has known no
local partialities or prejudices, but has
proved himself capable of embracing his
HUNTINGDON, PA., TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1850.
whole country in the comprehensive af
fections and regards of a large and gen
erous heart.
But he has fallen almost at the thres
hold of his civil career, and at a moment
when some of us were looking to him to
render services to the country which we
had thought no other man could per
form. Certainly, sir, he has died too
soon for every body but himself. AVe
can hardly find it in our hearts to repine
that the good old man has gone to his
rest. We would not disturb the repose
in which the brave old soldier sleeps.—
His part in life had been long and faith
fully performed. In his own last words,
he htid always done his duty, and he
was not afraid to die." But our regrets
for ourselves and for our country are
deep, strong, and unfeigned.
Sir, it was a fit and beautiful circum
stance in the close of such a career, that
his last official appearance was at the
celebration of the Birth-day of our Na
tional Independence, and, more especial
ly, that his last public act was an act of
homage to the memory of him whose ez•
ample he hail ever revered and followed,
and who, as he himself so well said,
"was, by so many titles, the Father of
his Country."
And now, Mr. Speaker, let us hope
that this event may teach its all how
vain is our reliance upon any arm of
flesh. Let us not hope that it may im
press us with a solemn sense of our Na
tional as well as individual dependence
on a higher than human Power. Let
us remember that " the Lord is king, be
the people never so impatient; that he
sitteth between the cherubim, be the
earth never so unquiet." Let us, in
language which is now hallowed to us
all, as having been the closing and
crowning sentiment of the brief but ad
mirable Inaugural Address with which
this illustrious Patriot opened his Presi
dential term, and which it is my privil
ege to read at this moment from the ve
ry copy from which it was originally
read by himself to the American people,
on the 4th day of March, 1819—let us,
in language in which "he, being dead,
yet speaketh"—" Let us invoke a contin
uance of the same Protecting Care which
has lad us from small beginnings to the
eminence we this day occupy; and let us
seek to deserve that continuance by pru
dence and moderation in our councils ; by
well-directed attempts to assuage the bit
terness which too often marks unavoida
ble differences of opinion ; by the promul
gation and practice of just and liberal
principles ; and by an enlarged patriotism,
which shall acknowledge no limits but
those of our own wide-spread Republic."
Speech of Col. Baker.
Mr. BAKER, of Illinois, said : Mr.
Speaker, it is often said of sorrow, that,
like death, it levels all distinctions.—
The hemblest heart can heave a sigh as
deep as the proudest; and I avail myself
of this mournful privilege to swell the'
accents of grief which have been poured
forth to-day with a larger though not
more sincere utterance. A second time
since the formation of this Government
a President of the United States has
been stricken by death in the perform
ance of his great duties. The blow
which strikes the man falls upon a na
tion's heart, and the words of saddened
praise which fall upon our ears to-day,
and here, are but echoes of the thoughts
that throng in the hearts of the millions
that mourn him every where. You have
no doubt observed, sir, that in the first
moments of a great loss the instincts of
affection prompt us to summon up the
good arid great qualities of those for
whom we weep. It is a wise ordination I I
of Divine Providence ; a generous pride
tempera and restrains the bitterness of
grief; and noble deeds and heroic vir
tues shed a consoling light upon the
tomb. It is in this spirit that I recur
for an instant, and for aii instant only, to
the events of a history fresh in the r,,-
inembrance of the nation and the world.
The late President of the United
States has devoted his whole life to the
service of his country ; of a nature sin
gularly unambitious, he seems to have
combined the utmost gentleness of man
ner with the greatest firmness of pur
pose. For more than thirty years the
dirties of his station confined him to a
sphere where only those who knew him
most intimately could perceive the qual
tiles which danger quickened and bright
ened into sublimity and grandeur. In
the late war with Great Britain he was
but a captain, yet the little band who de
fended Fort Harrison saw amid the
smoke of battle that they were com
manded by a man fit for his station.—
In the Florida campaign lie commanded
but a brigade, yet iris leadership not on
ly evinced courage and conduct, but in
spired these qualities in the meanest
soldier in his ranks. He began the.
Mexican campaign at the head of only
a division, yet, as the events of the war
swelled that division into an army, so
the crisis kindled him into higher resolve
and nobler actions, till the successive
steps of advance became the assured
march of victory.
Mr. Speaker, as we review the bril
liant and stirring passages of the events
to which I refer, it is not in the power
even of sudden grief to surpress the ad
miration which thrills our hearts. When,
sir, has there been such a campaign ?
When such soldiers to be led, and when
such qualities of leadership so variously
combined 1 now simple but yet how
grand was the announcement "In what
ever force the enemy may be I will fight
him." It gave Palo Alto and Ilesaca to
our banner. How steadfast the resolu
tion that impelled the advance to Mon
terey—how stirring the courage which
beleagued the frowning city— which
stormed the barricaded streets—which
carried the embattled heights, and won
and kept the Whole. Nor, Fir, can we
forget that in the flush of victory the
gentle heart stayed the bold hand, while
the conquering soldier offered sacririces
on the altar of pity, amid all the exults•
Lion of triumph.
Sir, I may not step to speak of the
achievements of Buena Vista; they are
deeds that will never die, and it was the
great event of the age, a contest of races
and institutions. An army of volunteers
engaged, not in an impetuous advance,
but in a stern defence of chosen ground,
against superior• force, and in a last ex
tremity, and when men who had never
seen fire faced the foe with the steadi
ness of veterans. Sir, as long as those
frowning heights and bloody ravines
shall remain, these recollections will en
dure, and with them the twine of the
man who steadied every rank and kind
led every eye, by the indiimitable reso
lution which would not yield, and the
exalted spirit which rose highest amid
the greatest perils.
It was from scenes like these he was
called to the Chief Magistracy. It was
a summons unexpected and unsought,
the spontaneous expression of a noble
confidence, the just reward of great ac
tions. It may not be proper to speak
here and now of the manner in which
these new duties were executed, but I
may say that here, as every where else,
he exhibited the same firmness and deci
sion which had marked his life. He was
honest and unostentatious; he obeyed
the law, and loved the constitution ; he
dealt with difficult questions with a sin
gleness of purpose, which is the truest
pilot amid storms ; nor can it be doubted
that when impartial history shall record
the events of his Administration they
will be found worthy of his past life,
a firm foundation for his future renown.
You remember, Mr. Speaker, that
when the great Athenian philosophy was
inquired of by the Lydian King, as to
who has the happiest among men, he de
clared that no man should be pronounced
happy till his death. The President of
the United States has so finished a no
ble life as to justify the pride and admi
ration of his countrymen. He has laced
the last enemy with a manly firmness
and is becoming resolution. He died
where an American citizen would most
desire to die, not amid embattled hosts
and charging squadrons, but amid weep
ing friends and an anxious nation, in
the house provided by its gratitude, only
to be taken thence to a "house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens."—
Sir, in the death which has caused so
much dismay, there is a becoming resem
blance to the life which has created so
much confidence. His closing hours
were marked with a beautiful calmness
his last expressions indicated a manly
sense of his own worth, and a conscious
ness that he had done his duty. Nor
can I omit to re.i.ark, that it is this sense
of the obligation of duty which appears
to have been the true basis of his char
acter. In boyhood and in age, ns cap
tain and as general, whether defending
a fort against savages, or exercising the
functions of the Chief Magistracy—duty
rather than glory—self-approval, rather
than renown, have prompted the deeds
which have made him immortal.
Mr. Speaker the character upon which
death has just set his seal is tilled with
beautiful and impressive contrasts--a
warrior, he loved peace; a man of ac
tion, he sighed for retirement. Amid
the events which crowned him with fame
he counselled a withdrawal of our troops.
And whether at the head of armies or
in the chair of state, he appeared as ut
terly unconscious of his great renown
as if no banners had drooped at his word,
or as if no gleam of glory shone through
his whitened hair. It is related of
Epaminondas that when fatally wounded
at the battle of Mantinea, they bore him
to a height from whence, with fading
glance, he surveyed the fortunes of the
fight, and, when the field was won, laid
himself down to die. The friends who
gathered round him wept his early fall,
and passionately expressed their sorrow
that he died childless. "Not so," said
the hero with his last breath, "for do I
not leave two fair daughters, Louvre
and Mantinea." General Taylor is more
fortunate, since he leaves an excellent
and most worthy family to deplore his
loss and inherit his glory. Nor is he
fortunate in this only, since, like Epam
inondas, he leaves, riot only two battles,
hut four—Palo Alto, Resaca, Monterey,
Buena Vista— the grand creations of
his genius and valor, to be remembered
:is long as truth and courage appeal to
the human heart.
Mr. Speaker, the occasion and the
scene impress upon us a deep sense of
the instability of all human concerns,
so beautifully alluded to by my friend
from Massachusetts, (Mr. WINTHROP.)
The great Southern Senator is no longer
among us. The President during whose
administration the war commenced,
sleeps in '‘the house appointed for all
the living ;" and the great soldier who
led the advance and assured the triumph,
"lies like a warrior taking his rest."—
Alt sir, if in this assemblage there is a
man whose heart beats with a tumultu
ous and unrestrained ambition, let him
to day stand by the bier upon which
that lifeless body is laid, and learn how
trine!) of human greatness fades in an
hoar; but if there be another man here
whose tainting heart shrinks from a no•
ble purpose, let him, too, visit those sa•
cred remains, to be reminded how much
there is in true glory that can never die.
SPEECH OF MR. MILLIARD.
Mr. 1 - Iti.LiArto, rose and said: Mr.
Speaker, ut the suggesti on of those in
whose judgement I have confidence, I
rise to ofilir an humble tribute to the mem
ory of the great man who has just fallen
in our midst. If he were living, 1 should
leave others to eulogise him— as he is
dead, I choose to speak of him. And
yet 1 am so overwhelmed by the event
which has just occurred, that I can
scarcely find language to express what I
feel. Some events are so impressive
that they leave little occasion for words;
they are too great to be enlarged on. 1
am almost ready to follow the example
of a great French orator, who, when cal
led on to pronounce a funeral oration
upon a deceased monarch, laid his hand
upon the head of the dead King, and ex
claimed, "There is nothing great but
God." Sir, there is nothing great but
God.
General TAYLOR'S whole career illus
trated the high qualities which so emi
nently distinguished him. I do not dwell
upon his battlefields—they belong to
history, and they will find a place upon
the brightest pages which record such
exploits. Nor shall I speak of his cour
age—it is unnecessary ; that is attested
by hard fought fields, and brilliant vic
tories ivon under his eye against over
whelming numbers. But I wish to
speak of that high sense of duty which
characterized his whole life—that steady
purpose to do what he believed to be
right, at all times and in all places. In
the performance of duty, nothing could
move him—lie marched directly upon
the road where that called him. The
reference to this trait in his character
has been appropriately made by die gen
tleman from Illinois, (Mr. BAKER,) and ,
it deserves to be observed and dwelt 1
upon. To him as fully as to any one I
have ever known, may by applied the
high eulogium of "incorruptu fides" ---he
kept Isis faith with all men. You might
dissent from his opinions—you might
find fanit with his judgment ; but when
lie took his position he kept it—his sense
of duty sustained him, and opposition
only served to make him the more stead
fast in holding it.
It is said of Napoleon that the great
quality which distinguished him, next
to his genius, was his love of glory ; so
that when he marched his army into
Egypt, the appeal which lie made to them
on the eve of battle wits, "Soldiers, for
ty centuries look down upon you from
these pyramids."
General Taylor rather resembled Lord
Nelson, who, when about to engage the
enemy's fleet, sent to his several officers !
in command of his ships the words,
'•England expects every man to do his
duty.
This was the constant aim of the illus
trious man who has just been called away
from us. The great quality, which sheds
such lustre upon his name, gaveshim
that success which so uniformly atten
ded him. When about to engage in bat
tle at Buena Vista with the overwhel
ming army opposed to him, he compre
headed the danger which invested him,
but he had made up his mind that it was
his duty to stand there, and, in his own
beautiful language, written before the
engagement, he "looked to Providence
for a good result."
General Taylor's character was Amer.
ican—distinctly and decidedly Ameri
can. He was invited to quit the army
and take the Cbief Magistracy of the
Government. He did co with nnafl9cted
VOL. XV, NO. 29.
reluctance, from a sincere distrust of
his ffines.s for such a station. But, as
in the army he had obeyed every order
of his Government, he now obeyed the
call of his countr3, men, and, laying aside
his plumed hat, his epaulets, and his
sword, he entered upon the functions of
his new and great position with an hon
est purpose to do his duty.
Unlike Caesar, who repelled the prof
fered crown while he coveted it, he came
with diffidence to the high position to
which he had been culled, and unosten
tatiously employed himself with IL, ap
propriate duties; his whole course evin
cing his profound sense of the value of
constitutional liberty, and his manners
illustrating the beautiful simplicity of
his character.
Sir, this illustrious man is called away
from us at a moment most critical. Nev
er have I known the Republic in such
peril as now surrounds it. My friend
from Massachusetts (Mr. WINTITROP)
has well said that it is so clearly an in
terposition of Providence that he is
ready to exclaim . "The chariots of Israel
and the horseme n thereof." _
Sir, I agree to this. It is an interpo
sition of Providence; and it comes to
us in a trying hour. But lam not dis
mayed. My trust ir. Providence is un
shaken. Our country has been deliver
ed, guided, made glorious, by a good
Providence. It will be o still. I re
member, when the prophet referred to
by the gentleman from Massachusetts,
(Mr. WINTITROP,) was surrounded by a
hostile force, and all hope of escape
seemed cut off, that a young man who
was with him cried out in great fear ;
and the reply of the prophet was, a
prayer that the young man's eyes might
be opened. He then saw that all with
in the hostile lines were "chariots and
horsemen of fire," ready to succor and
deliver tLte beleagered city. So will it
be with us. The dangers which threat
'en us will be averted, and, I trust forev
er disposed of.
The solemn event which has just oc
curred will arrest the flurry current
which has swept us on Ii ely. It
imposes a truce at least !.,r it season
upon contending parties. In the mean
while a better feeling may spring up, and
we may ask, " Why do we struggle
with each otherl Are we not brethren V'
The nation will be impressed with the
bereavement which it has suffered, and
the tide of sorrow which sweeps through
out the country will admonish us to agree
in wise, patriotic, and fraternal counsels.
The very event which we deplore, and
which we regard as a calamity, will be
overruled for good ; and He that sitteth
on high, mightier than the water-floods,
will put forth his power, and cause a
great calm.
Sir, death is at ell times a solemn
event; it touches both time and eterni
ty ; it terminates an earthly existence ;
it opens an immortal one. But this
death will strike the world as an event
marked by more than common solemni
ty. We mingle our tears over the bier
of the Chief Mrgistrate of a great na
tion. We will honor his memory, and
we will claim his fame for his whole
country.
. .
Henceforth he belongs to his country
and his name is a part of our common in
heritance. His last public act was in
honor of the memory of Washington :
he fixed his eyes upon that noble monu
ment which is rising to the skies, built
up by the present generation for one
whom all call blessed. By his time he
has, it may be hoped, met the revered
Father of his Country in a world where
their companionship will be eternal.--,
His me:nory is safe • no human events
can now affect it ; the great qualities,
the private virtues, the public services,
all that is precious iv his memory has
received the seal of death.
" The love where death has set his seal,
Nor age can chill, nor rival steal,
Nor falsehood disavow."
