OaY. Fellow-C itizens :W eare assembled to lament the death, and render homage to the memory of one of our most illustrious patriots, one who was among the first, if not the foremost, in the hearts of his countrymen. Thomas J. Rusk the warrior, the statesman, the idolized of Texas, is no more. That magnificent form, where every god did seem to set his seal, has been consigned to the dust. The eye which beamed with intellect and with benevolence, has lost its brightness. The tongue which uttered words of wisdom is silent. No more shall his noble presence cheer with its animating influence, or inspire confidence, love and aifection. He is dead. His work is finished on the earth. Well may we exclaim with the pathetic lamentation of the mourner in I srael: Hoav are the mighty fallen! But though dead, he still lives in our memories and in the gratitude of his country. His name is identified with some of the most important events of the -vc present century, nay i$L the history of human Liberty events which have exerted, and will continue to exert, a wide influence over the affairs of men, and the destinies of this hemisphere.
