In a detail of the political life aad labours " of ^ JVfejdr Cartwright , the character of siich a man , while it presents ap object of contemplation of no inconsiderable interest to ' . the . calm and dispassionate mind , affords also an instructive lesson to every mau of observation aud reflection . We see one , whose
benevolence , simplicity aijd purity of intention are unitppeached ; whose dignified and philosophic ruiud , with a zeal dtid ardour paramount to all personal and selfish motives , was wholly devoted to the grave consideration of such measures as might be-most conducive to the benefit of his
^ ouutrymen ; and whose patriotic exertions in forwarding that important object , yielded to no obstacles , were discounted by no difficulties , but were pursued with unwearied diligence and the most steady and determined perseverance , " in season and out of season , through good report and evil report /'

In jappreciating the merits of this excellent man , we have dwelt only on those points ciofr character which mark him as an example of public virtue unavved by pawvr , aadioi political integrity uncorrupted by interest or ambition .: ; And we have no hesitation in designating the

But , amongst the valuable qualities that adorned his upright and honourable mind , it is impossible to forget , though perhaps it were needless liere to * edord , the private ami social vittues that ( Mstinguished him as a member of the coiiimunity , as a husband , a brother , and a friead ; -- ^ his ^ metnovy will * never cease to be cherished by those Who were best
