follows: NTH
sob, sir what can say to you and your
brave associates for this inestimable gift? You
could not have conferred upon me q greater
honor, a more real pleasure the image Of one
known all over the world, as the father Of this

you, and wish you and your association all pros
perity Ladies and gentlemen, good night"

which we canonly of course excuse on the ground
that the assembled wisdom of the nation has the
first claim to her consideration. She will prob
