Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Remarks of Hon. John L. Dawson, in the House of Representatives, March 3, 1853: On the Bill for the Relief of the Widow of Commodore Decatur, and the Captors of the Frigate Philadelphia
The deceased, sir, was a man of high character, of in?exible integ rity, of polished education and manners, and with a mind richly stored with solid and practical information. It was conceded by all who knew him that he would have been a most invaluable member of this body. True, he had represented his native county - the ancient county of Berks - in the Senate of Pennsylvania, and had shown an ability which promised much for the future. Although comparatively a stran ger in this body, his death will cast a gloom over every portion of his native commonwealth.
