Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Adjudged in the Supreme Court of the United States, Vol. 10: January Term, 1836 The constitution of the United States owes as much to him, as to any single mind, for the foundations on which it rests, and the expositions by which it is to be maintained. But above all, he was the ornament of human nature itself, in the beautiful illustrations which his life constantly pre sented, of its most attractive graces and most elevated attributes. We who have been the witnesses and companions of his judicial labors, cannot but feel the desolation which has visited us. Our consolation is, that he is now beyond the reach of human infirmity, and (as we trust) in the possession of the rewards of a blessed immortality. This hall will never again be honored by his presence but so long as it shall remain devoted to the administra tion of public justice, so long will it preserve the best records of his fame. He, who, in future ages, shall here seek for his monument, need but look around him and before him. The voices of the eloquent and learned, which will here pronounce his name, will never fail to breathe forth at the same time his most afiecting praise. It is the order of the court, that the resolutions of the bar be entered upon their records. And the judges will wear crape on their left arms during the term, as a fit expression of their entire coincidence with the feelings of the bar.
