Gentlemen,
THE addrefe of so rrfp&bfe a body as the
Senate and House of Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Maflachuffetts, congratulating
me on so auspicious an event as the return of peace,
cannot fail to affed me with the highest pleasure
aid gratification.
Be assured, Gentlemen, that through the man,
and complicated vicissitudes of an arduous conflict
I have ever turned my eye, with a fixed confidence
on that duperintending Providence which governs
all events; and the lively gratitude I now feel, at
the happy termination of our contest, i) beyond' mv
cxpreffion. J '
If, depending on the guidance of the ffime all
wife Providence, I have pencimed my part in thfo
great revolution to the acceptance of my fellow-citi
zens, it is a fouree of high fatisfadion to me, and
forms an additional motive cf praffe to that infinite
Wisdom which dirells the minds of men. This con
federation will attend me in the ffiade of retirement,
And furnifh one of the molt pleasing themes of hiy
meditation.'
+ So great a revolution as this country now expe
riences, doubtless ranks high in the scale of human
events; and in the eye of Omnipotence, is intro
duftive to some noble feenes of future grandeur te
this happy fated contineht;
May the States have wisdom to discern their t%
^ at @ important period!
