Dear Sir: You will believe me when | ex-
press to you my sincere regret at not having it in
my power to accept the polite invitation Of the
Committee for the Sth instant. Indispensable
engagements will prevent, and | must request
you to make my excuse to the Committee, with
my thanks for the honor they have done me by
the invitation. | console myself with the belief
that You will have glorious meeting, well
from among your own citizens, as out of that
noble band of young men who at Balti-

still fairer lines the character and eminent public
services of the man who has so fortunately been
selected as the candidate of the opposition.

norable in his whole career should have been
suffered so long to remain out of public employ

the day Of her adversely, in the time of her great

not only be elected by a triumphant vote, but
when elected, restore the institutions of our once
happy and prosperous country to their former
rank.
With great respect, your ob't. servt
