OUR "IN MEMORIAM."

Not in the splendor of a ruinous glory

Emblazoned, glitters our lost Statesman's name:

The great deeds that have earned him deathless fame

Will cost us merely thanks. Their inventory

Of peaceful heroism will be a story,

Of wise assertion of a rightful claim,

And Commerce freed by sagely daring aim.

Famine averted; Revolution glory

Disarmed; and the exhausted Commonweal

Recruited; these are things that England long

Will couple with the name of ROBERT PEEL,

Of whom the worst his enemies can say

Is, that he left the error of his way

When Conscience told him he was in the wrong.
