now, the tears which fell froa the eyes
of ooman, the sighs and looks of grief of
gray headed men, the general, universal
aapecl of public sorrow, were the un

bereated People to publie virtue and de

GEN. HARRISON'S LAST LETTER
The following touching incident i

Adieniseruf Monday slteroo in. I' prove
more rlearlv than a volume if timlied
the hope " that Congress will make tome I eulogy could have done the genuine kind
provision for the family of the General, heartedness of the late l'renient:
I limited so many distinguished military cession advanced down the principal are
whose pecuniary circumelance cannot
bear the heavy expenses which must
have been incurred by a removal to Wah
ington." The American Sentinel (Phi
ladelphia) also politically friendly to the
last Administration, gite utterance to the
following generous sentiments on the
occasion: The death of the President,
so ones peeled and sudden, besidea being
most afflictive to his amiable snd affec
tionate lamily, moot be attended with
serious pecuniary loss to them. The old
fashioned, generous hospitality of the
illustrious deceased, snd the heavy ex.
penses necessarily incidental io hit indue-'
tion into the Preaidency, cannot but have
created burdensome and embarrassing
claims upon his estate. We hope and
believe that a great and genernus uatton
ill early and unanimously make suitable
provision for his bereaved fmly. The
extra session of Congress is at hand, and
we trust one of its first acta my be the
appropriation to the widow of either one
rear's full silarv, or, what would be etill
better and more becoming, half salary for
the whole Presidential term for which
Gen. Harrison waa ehcied. We hate
no doubt such an appropriation would
gratify the feelings and wishes of the
whole People."
We trust that the Nation will act in
this ease at Gen. Harrison himself would
have acud had a similar occasion pre
tented itself to him. How he would hate
acted in audi a case we are not left to
conjecture. His conceptions oi the part
which it becomes the National Legisla
ture to act in such a case, expressed on
the floor or the Senato many years ago,
are happily preseivod on record. It was
in debate upon the bill lor the relief ol
Mrs. Bruwn, widow or Major Ittn Jacob
Brown, who died in the public service ai
Washington, that the lamented Harrison
delivered a tpeech from which we extract
the folio wine passage, the force of which
we trust we hate few readers capable ol
resisting;
The grounds (aid Mr. II) upon
which I suppoit the bill now under con
sideration, are those of moral obligation
