the accomplishment of a glorious peace. I join you
with heart and with voice in my acknowledgments
to those decided and persevering patriots who have,
by their exertions and their fufferings, been instru
mental, under Providence^ in procuring those bles
sings. That you are pleased to rank me amongst
such illustrious characters, deserves my warmest
gratitude; and the Share I have had in the glorious
cause, small as it is in comparison of the exertions
of thousands of others, I Shall ever confider as the
;moft ufeful, the most important, and the best em
ployed part of my life ; and enjoy, I hope, the con
zQnplation of it even in the very solemn hour of
death.
The favourable sentiments, gentlemen, which
you are pleased to entertain of my affability and
attentions, at the fame time that they do me great
honour, very properly remind me and every other
magistrate appointed by a free people, of our duty,
and dire& our eyes to that grand object of which no
man in publick office ought ever to lose fight, " that
" for the service of the people, and to promote the
“ happiness of Society, he is appointed by the peo
“ ple to the office he sustains."
The social pleasures I have enjoyed in the com
pany of the inhabitants of Trenton and the vicini
ty, when bulinefs had admitted of leisure for recre
ation, have, in a great measure, compensated for
tie deprivation of that domeftick happiness to
which the Singular cruelty of the late war, on the
part of the enemy, has So long obliged me to be a
stranger. Do me the justice, gentlemen, to be
persuaded, that but for the particular situation I
am in, I Should take my leave of those inhabitants
with still greater regret than I do.
Your wishes for my happiness to so extensive a
degree as to comprize the consummation of all fe
licity, claim my warmest thanks.
I am, gentlemen,
Your most humble servant,
WIL. LIVINGSTON.
