Book Description
Excerpt from Obituary Addresses on the Occassion of the Death of General James Hamilton, of South Carolina On opening the Court, Mr. T. N. Waul announced the intelligence of the death of Gen. James Hamilton, and moved that the Court adjourn. Mr. Waul said. May it Please the Court: Since the adjournment last evening, the mournful intelligence of the death of Gen. James Hamilton, of South Carolina, has cast its sorrowful shadow over this city. The Governor of the State, by special message - the Senate and the House of Representatives, by resolutions, have expressed their grief for his loss, and their deep sympathies for his bereaved family. The sad duty has devolved upon me to suggest some appropriate testimonial from the Supreme Court of the State. Your presence, sir, as Chief Justice, long his personal friend - our early association in the same State - renew the memories of past years. The dead seem alive, and Gen. Hamilton as he was in 1830, appears in vigorous manhood, gifted in person and intellect, persuasive, eloquent, and earnest: he was in every sense of the word an orator.
