An honored son of Massachusetts--one who was educated by a signer of the Declaration of Independence--one who heard the thunder of the great struggle for liberty on yonder hill, has, after a life of unparalleled usefulness and fidelity, fallen in the capitol of the country he served.

His remains were escorted here by delegates from every State in the Union.

They have passed over spots ever memorable in history.

They have everywhere been received with funeral honors.

They have reposed in the hall of independence.
