WASHINGTON, May 18th, 1882.
SIR:-The National Republican Youno<
Men, assembled in Convention in this citv'
beg leave, with great respect, TO tender Won.
an expression of their gratitude for your
einihent services as a distinguished patriot
Of the Revolution.
IL is a duty which they are prohd to dis
charge. The example of those who have
gone before US is never without influence.
The one to which we now look is Of no or.
binary character.
In that band of patriots who first declared
TO the world, the rational, nalienable rights
OF man. and in support Of that declaration
staked their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honors,-who, in moral excellence
and courage, IN firmness Of purpose and pn-
rIty OF heart, excelled Charles Carroll, Of
Carroiton? Amidst that galaxy of talent,
which, like Il sign in the heavens, lighted
our fathers through a wilderness of wrongs,
to the goal Of Freedom. and diffused its rays
over the oppressed, the suffering and be-
nighted OF all nations, no star burned With a
more intense, yet mild and steady lustre,
than that which we contemplate, still bright,
descending in the horizin Of Freedom, and
shedding IFS benignant lustre on admiring
millions.
May that star yet long remain in our I'M
ciouded sky, and only set to rise in perfect
glory"
We will humbly endeavour TO walk by il.
light.
