SIR-The thanks you present me, from
your committee are received with sensations
ofpride and pleasure. In complying with the
request embraced in the resolution of your
committee, for copy Of my address, this day
delivered to the citizens of this county, for
publication, I am not vain enough to suppose
that ephemeral publications of this kind can
elicit from the public one lisp of praise but
on the contrary am aware that they are cal
culated to call down the malignant pounce of
political enemies upon the reputation of the
author. Yet my consolation is, that have
discharged duty which owed to myself and
to my country. To have done less would
have been criminal.
Yours respectfully,
