lows:-
! "He was requested TO return thanks for his
brother Ministers, the representatives of foreign
4 Courts, from merit OF his own, but from the

/ rate England from AmeTica--though the wide
waste OF the waters rolled between them-yet it

| language, and their origin derived from the
same source. In the language of adaptation used
by one oil their most eloquent orators, he would say
-" Our people are your people, and God is
| your God" [cheersl. He would further, in the
same spirit, say" May riches set upon your
| right and your left hand; may your ways
| he ways of pleasantuess, and your paths be
| the paths of peace. These were his sentiments
