Considering the estimate which you have been pleas
ed To make OF my public character and services, a

flying. Aware how ir it ransccDds any pre- enslons
OF NINE TO the appreciation Of my fellow citizens, OF
my fellow men, perceive in il motives of gratitude
to those from whom comes; and of regret that the
reality should far have fallen short Of the repre-
sentaon. Al the close ola life. chiefly occupied in
the discharge of public trusts, am conscious of
claim 10 appreciation other than that Of irvaroblc
good intentions; claim which have right TO de-
ny to Others whether my predecessors or successors
The share that have occasionally had in the Gov
eminent ofmy country, while the one hand it

On the other II taught me that the best Intentions
avail little To their possessor without the benefit
of candid construction, as To- those whom lie serves,
without that Of friendly corporation But wherever
the favor the confidence of he People may be- be-
slowed, you Will heartily JOIN the hope that IL
may result IN their own welfare and prosperity.
