ing Qnszver:
To Henry Voight, Joseph Richardson,
Joseph Cloud, Robert Scot, Adam Eek
feldt, G. Ehrenzeller, Lodwyck Sharpe
and Adolphus Fisher, officers and clerks
of the mint of the United States.
The director of the mint has, with Pc
culiar satisfaction, received youryery re-
spcctful address Of this morning.
The only regret the director feels on the
sep: ration that must now take place, is the
parting with gentlemen with whom he has
for SO many years enjoyed the most friend
" and confidential official intercourse,
which has 6 ven him the best opportunity
Of aPpreciating their worth and importance
to the community.
In so high asrust, as that Of the mint OF
the United States. unspotted integrity,
connected with professional knowledge and
personal diligence, become essentially ne.
cessary. The directoris proud to acknow-
ledge that the tonduct of the officers and
c erks CT The min', for go many years past,
has iussifed his expectaHon5in this respect,
and the entire confidence ne has placed
n rhem on every difficult occasion, has
never been disap point: d.
If the operations CT the mint have been
simpli6ed and improved-if the annual ex-
pences have been reduced, and the issues
of coin more regular and expeditions, tho
in the infancy of the institution, while all
was in experiment, Il is owing to that In
dustry, attention and economy, OF which
the Offers and clerks have not only per
sonaliy set the example, patronized and
observed; but also their seconding rhe di.
rector with unaEimity aud spirit in every
attempt he has made to accomplish these
desirable osjecss.
II is with those feelings which can only
be produced by principle of friendship
and affection, that the director, on taking
leave of those to whom he has been so long
united in this official relation, most sincere.
ly reciproca.es the kind and affectiona,e
wishes OF the officers, clerks and workmen
OF the mint, and earnestly assl.es them,
that tho retired to private life in hopes of
spending his few remaining years in peace
and quietness, We. he shall often remember
the officers and clerks of the mint with re.
spcctfui gratitude, and most deyou.ly pray
for their success and happiness.
The director will not omit to represent
to his successor the estimable characters of
the officers and clerks of the mint. That
gentleman's good. sense and knowledge Of
business, will undoubtedly lead him to va.
lue such able and necessary assistants in his
important administration.
