The Experiment, with its foundations laid on universal Suffrage and an unfettered and licentious Press is of too violent a nature for our excitable People.
No man ever bore public honors with so meek a dignity ...
No! but snatched from time, To bloom afresh in yonder sphere sublime.
To Marshall reared--the great, the good, the wise; Born for all ages, honored in all skies; His was the fame to mortals rarely given, Begun on earth, but fixed in aim on heaven.
