Mr. POLAND. Mr. President, I rise to perform a most painful duty. A very few months since Vermont was represented in the Senate of the U.S. by 2 ofher most distinished citizens, of large ability, tried integrity, and filled with the wisdom derived from long experience in public affairs. Just previous to the commencement of the present session one of these eminent men, my prede cessor on this floor, was called away by death. While the voices of mourning for his loss are yet sounding in our ears, the bolt has again fallen, and Vermont is again called to weep over the dead form of the other. My colleague in this bod, and one of its oldest and most distinguishe members, Hon. Sonozuou Foor, died at his lodgings in this city yesterday, at about 8 oclock in the morning. He endured a.long and painful sickness with atienee and resi nation, and departed this li e with bright and cheerful hopes of a blessed immortalitv in the life to come. The time which has elapsed since this cat sorrow has fallen upon us has been so short, that amid the grief and care occasioned by the sad event, I have found no time in which to prepare to sgcak suitably of the character and distinguishe public services of our departed associate; and J I shall therefore ask the indul gence of the Senate on some future day, when time shall have a little dulled the sharp edge of our grief, for myself, and others who may desire, an opportunity to ay appropriate trib ute to the memory of the deceased. I now offer the following resolutions, and ask their present consideration: Reroloed.That the membersof the Senate. from a sincere desire of showing eve mark of respectto Hon. Sotonox 4,deceased, ate a Senfrom the State of Vermont. Will go into mourning for the residue of the present sessionby the usual modeof wearing crepe on the left arm. Resolved, lhat the Senate Will attend the funeral of the deceased from the Senate Chamber at one oclock today: and that the committee of arrangements, consisting of Messrs. DOOLITTLE, An rnosv, llovnim, llrzsnnicus, Seamus, and BUCKALIW, superintend thonauio. Orderg., That the Secretary communicate these proceedingsto the HoRep. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. RECESS.
