Mr. ioor awed the would be assassin and he retired to his seat. Nobody, said Mr. Giddings, could doubt the meaning of the one or the other. The delicate as well as difficult. duty of making up of the various committees of the Senate frequently fell to his lot, and it was always perlorined with great discretion and fairness. Here his modesty was a parent, for he never so carved as to leave e choicest parts to himself. Mr. Foor was industrious, methodical, punc tual to all appointments, and never estponed the work of today for the greater cisure of tomorrow. Whatever he aimed to do, he aimed to do well. He was proud of Vermont, loved her history, and were her honors wor thily. But he was not too proud to labor for the liuniblest of his constituents, and by his labors he added luster to his State and honor to the nation. If it be that GOd loves those who are read 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 re)utation as well as fait in the grace of GO undimined, then was Senator hoor fortunate as he was happy in the time of his death. Life was at its acme and be filled as large a space in the world as his high ost 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 eavenly vision, a welcome awaiting him in the new world to which he was hastening, and exclaimed, “I see itl I secitl the gates are wide open! Beautifull Beautiful!" Senator Foor was pretiminentl a large hearted man, nursing no ill nature jealousies in himself nor in others; far less did he indulge in any malice, and was the readiest man I have ever known to forget and forgive a seeming neglect or actual injury. Opponents never found his tongue lubricated by the serpenta poison, nor did friends ever find themselves damued by faint praise, ” for he was luke warm in nothing, but distributed praise and blame openly, manfull, and with a most profreshing unction. Forhis friends he was ready to make any sacrifices and be obeyed their behests with a cordial ulacrity never to be for gotten by those whom his position, official or other, enabled him to assist. Our volunteer soldiers and officers, so suddenly called from industrial avocations to put down the great rebellion, received his homage and tenderest solicitude. Of these he felt that the dead were all martyrs, the living all heroes, and his gratitude was unbounded. In his own State no public man ever possessed more of the affection of the people, as was sufficiently shown by his almost unanimous election by the Vermont Legislature for a 3rd term to the Senate of the U.S. He always met his colleagues with the most cordial Salutations; no ill wind ever ripied over the surface of their intercourse, an the most genial and affectionate relations were maintained up to the latest moments of his life. His loss to his famil is irreparable, and so profound is their grie as to find no solace save in the contemplation of the sublimity of the dying Senators Christian faith. The last utterances of great men are olten treasured u and serve to prove the strength of some ruing, possibly ett, passion of the deceased, but rare y have tihc ast words of any man been so fit to be reported to the world, or such as to be more likel to be forever engraven on the hearts of his riends than those of the lamented Senator Foor. Without an enemy in the world, loving God and glowing with affection for all and especially for those who visited him in his last hours, with eyes still beaming with all their wonted brilliancy his unimpassioued words, so clearl articulated, so lovingly tendered, were wel calculated to touch every heart by their won derful pathos. Honored Senator! true patriot! faithful friend! farewelll The resolution was adopted; and the House accordingly (at 4 oclock and 40 minutes p. m.) adjourned.
