DEAR SIR:-In declining to accent

instant, assure you that it would give
me great pleasure 10 DO with you, and
that would not hesitate TO ioin YOU on

ties hero would permit so long an absence
from my post atthis moat interesting Pc
rlod Of the session.
Hook with strong hope and faith to
the yaung men Of the nation, and fore
most 10 the young men Of Ohio, TO car
ry forward these Improvements now in
progressin in our social organizllian-im 4,
proVements which shall secure for the
future perfect equality of right aud prIv-
leges to every citizen, A community
may be free from foreign dominion, and
yet suffer all the evils of domestic tyran-
ny and oppression, if they permit priv.
legged orders TO exist among them; for
exclusive advantages in government can
not be conceded to the few, without ia.
king from the many their just rights; and
all having an equal right, by the laws Of
nature, to seek the means ofhappiness
in the acquisition or pursuit of wealth or
fame, or civil distinction, it would be hos
tile TO the soundest principles of social
order, for the law TO interfere in such pur-
suits in favor ofany class or section of
the community.
Hitherto much ofindvidual sefshness
has governed tho legislation of states, but
brighter day seems dawn;ng in Ohio,
and her young men are now invited,
by every consideration Of benevoIence
and patriotism, to make their native state
q more perfect example OF freedom and
equality than the world has yet seen,
pray you let us old men, as we shake OF
This mortal coil, have the well founded be
lief, that we are leaving the principles of
enlightened freedom in safe and better
hands; that Legislation is ceasing 10 be
the instrument Of individual cupIdty,
and is becoming tho nursing mother Of |
equality and jastice
That your meeting may be satisfactory
to yourselves, in advancing the perna.
nent welfare and honor Of the state, is
the wish of
Your sincere friend,
BENZ. TAPPAN.
