Excerpt from Addresses on the Death of Hon. Owen Lovejoy: Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, on Monday, March 28, 1864 Mr. Speaker, owen lovejoy was no common man. In saying that in his death a great man has fallen, I speak it in no common or hackneyed sense, for he was great. He was great in the leading idea of his life; great in his convictions; great in the elements of his character, great in his eloquence, great in his courage; and great in his abiding and ever-livmg faith in the ultimate triumph of the eternal principles of right, justice, and humanity. No man who has succeeded in stamping his ideas and his principles, as he has, With the impress of indelibility, upon the minds and lieaits of men, could be an ordinary man. Early impressed With convictions in regard to the subject of American slavery, he followed those convictions With unswervmg fidelity, in the face of danger, of obloquy, and reproach. His natural abhorrence of slavery was quickened by the tragic fate of a beloved brother, who fell a Victim to his opposition to that institution, and who illustrated his principles by his blood, shed by a lawless mob. In the advancement of this great idea of his life Mr. Lovejoy toiled With an earnestness and zeal which were Without variableness or shadow of turning; and in the pursmt of his great object it could truly have been said of him.
