wilderness. l have seen the members, composing
a delightful society. arrive one by from their
distant homes-and 1t would be impossible for me,

member of the great republican party Of the world,
of that party. which since the American Revolution
particularly has been contending against every

the principles which. you know profess and which
see with uneigned delight that you approve of:
do not know hat will be called to act up to
them bur if that be the case, hope to deceive

for Yourselves my best respects and wishes for your
happiness. Your servant and friend
