Mr. WRIGHT was diffident and cautious of speech and seldom thrust himself upon the notice of the Senate or House, and indeed rarely rose to speak; but among those who could truly appreciate such qualities his sterling good sense, practical wisdom, his uncrring judgment and tact, did not fail to stamp him as a man who, in many of the qualities that go furthest to constitute worth for the practical duties of legislation, had few equals is public duties were faithfully performed, and he was ever true to the principles he sought to represent. While he knew no fear or hesitation in the expression of his own political views, he extended the largest tolerance and charity to all who held different sentiments. Indeed his was true charity, striving to do good as he had opportunity and to speak evil of none. He was possessed of great urbanity of manner and dignity of deportment, and never violated the characteristics of a gentleman in his intercourse with the world; while in all those more intimate and tenderrelations which bound him to his friends and his kindred he was all that friendship could ask, or affection claim, or humanity or kindness demand, and in that higher and more solemn relation which he bore to the Author of us all he sought to be exact in the duties enjoined by the sacred behests of religion, and in the closing scenes of life's flickering, final hour he leaned with humble trust upon the merits of his Saviour. Calml he confronted the grim messenger and wi Christian dignity resigned him to his fate. knew him well, Mr. Speaker, and find a mournful pleasure in paying this just tribute to his memory and his virtues. He has passed through the vicissitudes of a long and eventful life. He has met and manfully fulfilled the duties allotted to him on earth, and left us to follow a little longer the shadows which he has exchanged for unutterable realities. Death came to him in the ripeness of his years, and no stain rests upon his honored name. His life was full of moral beauty, and with mingled feelings of respect we commemorate his Virtues and lament his death. I beg leave to offer for adoption the following resolutions: Resolved.
