WILLIAM LEGGETT,

the eloquent journalist, whose genius, disinterestedness and courage ennobled his profession -- who loved truth for its own sake, and asserted it with most ardor when weaker minds were most dismayed with opposition ; who could endure no form of tyranny, and raised his voice against

all injustice, on whomsoever committed, and whoever were its authors.
