Irgi-laiurr, embracing nesrly the whole
period of our early ecis!tive history,
and durirg the list five year, of Ins
service in the Senate, was unanimously
chosen Speaker of that body. It may .!"
be rema'k'd, that be discharged the duties
of that important station with a. much
general satisfaction probably, as was ever
given by t?ie pre-idine vflicer of any
deliberative assembly. He was fur sever.!
years e'tctcd a mrnilcr i f the Council id
State, and when convened was chosen
President of the Il urd. He wss sho a
mender of both Ihe State Conventions
which met for the purpose of eo idrriir
the Constitution of the Umttd States,
and in the dHcuin of those bodies be
took an active and distinguished part
insisting strenuously on ihe adoption ol
ttie amendments proposed to ihe Constitu
tion, and guarding with great jealsnsy
the rights of the btafs. Owing 10 tU
difficulties which existed among ll.r
State, in ihe adoption of ti e Federal
Constitniion, an opinion prevailed that
another General Convention would be
called to revise and amend il. Tbe
Cont ention of North Carolina acting upon
this supposition, proceeded to elect lite
i)rlegales 10 represent the Stat in the
proposed General Convention, of which
number General Lenoir was one. It is
also in honor of bim, that the respectable
county of Lenoir bears iis name.
These, together with many oilier
services cf a minor character, though
important in themsr.lt es or in furtherance
of the due execution of tt.e law, constitute
the sum of thai portimi of the 'public
burJens which has been borne bv this
ver.er.ble man, for nuny of which he
dfclined to receive any compensation.
Those who knew Gen. I., will readily
concur in the opinion .that it i. question
ahlo whether any man -ever performed
a public duty with a more punctilious
regard 10 the promotion of the cubhc web
fare, or in more strict accordance with ihe
requirements of the authority under which
he acted. .
