FROM AN EASTERN PAPER.
REPEATED solicitations have drawn to the press the following close of a sermon, delivered before the President of the United States, during his Eastern Tour, upon the importance of educating youth for public benefactors: from GENESIS, xviii, 19. "I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment."
"And to what theme, my beloved brethren, could I with so much propriety have turned our attention, as this, this morning. At a time, when the great political Father, and Chief Ruler of these States has honored us with his presence, and awoke a general Jubilee, and spread a new joy, through a large tract of country. He will pardon my boldness; when I say, that in him we see all these virtues which I have now described. He hath set a pattern, for youth, not of the present day only, but for those who shall come after him, until time shall be no longer.
"He, after a life devoted to the service of mankind, hath, at the unanimous call of millions, undertook the arduous task of setting the wheels of government in motion, and awoke our sinking country to sensations, which he had not known for a long period. Then Virtue reared her head. Then vice retreated—Industry roused. The fire of patriotism, burst into a new flame. All ranks of sufferers and mourners, under the desolation of past years, began to wipe away their sorrows.
"May his days be long and happy—his virtues imitated—his services rewarded; by the pleasing reflections which arise from having served his generation faithfully. By the will of God—by the applause of Angels—and reward of Heaven."
