LONDON, March l4th. 1882.
GenHemen-Your letter of the 10th ultimo,
communicating to me the views of the republican
members of the Legislature OF New York. in re-
lation to the conduct of the Senate of the United
States upon the subject Of my nomination as Mi
mister to this country, has found me in the hurry
and press OF occupations, public and private, pre-.
patory to nv departure. This circumstance in
creases the difficulty which would at any time
lee IN expressing. IN suitable terms, the emotions
of nv heart on receiving So eloquent a testlmO-
NAL of sympathy and confidence.
cannot but be deeply gratifed and BATTERED
by the appreciation expressed OF my public servi-
ces, though feel that in the warmth and excite
ment Of the moment. that appreciation has far ex-
ceeded my deserts. In exerting myself to the
utmost TO discharge the successive trusts with
which have been honored, have but fulfilled
the obligations incumbent upon every citiZen:-
had my merits and success been tenfod greater,
they would already have been more than repaid.
But while dare not arrOgatc to myself the
measure of applause generously awarded to
me. there is one testimonial which gives me the
proudest qualification, and la part Of which | he.
state not to accept and appropriate a. my due.
You tell me that the Democracy OF New York
have long felt themselves identified with NV po-
litical career, and have appreciated my adher-
ence to their faith under the most adverse cir
cumstances In this latter respect they have
but done me justice. Looking upon the demo.
cratic principle the pure lite-s,ream of our 60
vernment have endeavored to distinguish and
adhere to it as closely as possible in its course
through the mazes of party; and whenever have
found myself in danger of losing sight of it, |
have resorted to the true spring head-the public
will
believe this principle, maintained in its pnri-
ty, and operating through the representative F.;
channel. to be the secret Of internal order and
external dignity and strength
1t is consenial to all our institutions, and main
tains them in healthful operation. Whatever
