GENTLEMEN: My Acknowledgements are due, for the
polite invitation which you have been the medium Of

merican people. well remember the anxiety, almost
amounting to agony, which pervaded every bosom for
the fate of New Orleans about the period to which

worthy 1the name within our broad limits, who did
not feel as if in bonds" from his hopeless Inability to-
reach the scene of action in time TO aid in the work Of
beating back naughty foe There was, however time
TO rally noble and gallant band around the standard
displayedby the man 'who never knew fear and when
the tdingsofb afe bravey fought and noby won,
spread over the land there went up from every hill top
and valley long, loud shout which bore the blessings
of grateful people Andrew Jackson and his brave
compariots
While, therefore gentlemen find myself unable to-
patake of the social hospitaities you have rendered.
beg to assure you my full participation in the feeling
which has prompted your celebration, and in this spirit
pray you to make acceptable the subjoined senti-
ment. ..... .,-...r ..... ...
