Fellow Citiztns) THE death of a member of community, has assembled us together we have met to pay the last solemn tribute of respect, to the remains ol one whose loss will be deeply deplored, and still more deeply felt, by the community in which he lived Society, originating in the wants, the weakness, the frailties of human natuie,

those afllictions to which human nature

is liable ; however numerous, however severe, however rending to the finest, tendercst feelings of man ; still, when scanned by the calm unruffled eye of religion, when viewed by the mind humbly resigned to the mysterious ways of an o vcrruling Providence; ample evidence is furnished, that the most severe dispensa tionsarc productive of individual and general benefit. The pride and arrogance ; the vain assumption of haughty independence, is ever at war with those ties which bind man to his fellow ; which produce the extensive, though weak and partial bonds of brotherhood which distinguish man. Our entrance into the world, and our departure from it ; our safety while here, and our happiness hereafter, depends upon the social union of man, and the firmer and closer the union, thc"nT6W are the ends of society adorned. The severest afllictions, the greatest privaw; anci public misfortunes, are only so many pro-

j pelling powers, that force men to unite,

and tends to cement their union. When society receives a heavy shock ; when with an apparent i ude and inclUcrimiuating hand, the prop, the stas ol community arc suddenly swept away, the final result is a stronger union among the remaining members. When from afar we view the dreadful commotions of civil society, when we behold man destroying his fellow with a brutal and murderous hand; when ru

mors of famine and pestilence reaches from abroad, we look on with a mixtifrtt

of wonder and surprise, and thank the Al

mighty that wc are exempt from such

sufferings. When the sound that is afar otV approaches nearer, when the wave of

destruction breaks upon our borders then we cling cicely to t:ach other ; then wc consult common measures to increase our security, and petition Providence to ward off the impending evils. But when the destrov ing angel hovers

around us, enters our dwellings, c rends

His many deeply afflicted mourners, may feel their sorrows soothed by contemplating his general character. During his minority as surgeons trtate, he entered the service of his country. Such was his character, and such the high respect entertained for his professional talents and assiduity, that after n few ninths service in the hospital at Philadelphia, and on board the U. Stales gun boats, be was sent as the acting surgeon, th uih still in the capacity uf surgeons mate, with a cartel, for the exchange of piv ners during the late war to the West Indies. The duties of our decta ed friend have always been of the most arduous kind; sent to one of the most sirkly climes, with a large number of planners cf whom he had the sole care, still his labour was constant ai d unremitting, and such was the catc he took of the hialth of our gallant dcfendcis, that on I is return, those whom he had the care of i-rc all fit for duty. Subsequently l.r was ordered to the Meditei atian, and was on board our gallant ship that first attacked the Algerinc corsair. His attendance upon the sick and wounded was matk d by that samc assiduity and unweaiied t x.rtion that has characterized him th'.oi.gh life. His character procured him the honorable station of assistant sut -ton the hospital at Washington, under the celebrated doctor Cuibush. Here, as in his previous situations, he discharged his duties to the satisfaction of all vho know him; but our friend, ever cheiislm.g a predeliction for the ca'm quietude el domestic life, and his countty again beaming with the rays of peace, he resolved to establish himself in this wc'c ri. c ur.try. However high and i expectable inav have been his former scivhcs. it is his character as a member of private community that deserve the warmest encomiums. To all those who were within the
