Excerpt from Eulogy on the Life, Character and Public Services of the Hon. John C. Calhoun: Pronounced by Appointment Before the Citizens of Cheraw and Its Vicinity, on Wednesday, April 24, 1850 Fellow citizens There are few that die who do not leave some behind to mourn. Natural affection, usefulness, dependence, or some other of the cords that bind the heart of man to man, are broken. We are not long in this world before we suffer, or learn to sympathise with those who weep under this kind of bereavement. Beside this, there are public demonstrations of respect usual, when men die high in station, and where the tribute is often rather to the office, than to the character of the dead.
