Excerpt from Eulogy on Henry Wilson: Vice-President of the United States Who Was Born in Farmington N H Feb 16 1812, Died in the Capitol at Washington Nov 22 and Was Interred in Natick Mass Dec 1 1875
The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places. How are the mighty fallen; and the weapons of Tear perished. II Samuel, I. 19, 27.
Every age has its great men. Every period of our own history has had its great men. In every emergency of the nation, thus far, men have not been wanting who were equal to the emergency. Men who could grapple with great facts, and great difficulties, and out of danger could bring safety to the Republic. When passions have raged, and political whirlwinds have swept the nation; when faction has risen against faction and party against party, and the fabric of government has rocked in the tumult; when enemies have assaulted our peace, by wars from without or seditions from within; there have always been found men of courage and capacity to "ride the whirlwind and direct the storm."
Such men are the "glory and honor of a nation." Humanly speaking, they are its rock of defence, the bulwark of its security. When men of great ability and great integrity man the ship of state, there is safety to those on board.
