causo no channel more appropriate TO me through

YOU presided on tho 9Th instant and 10 the masses there rep
resented.

rous confidence manifested toward me by the people
of this State; and although the object indicated in the reso
luton having particular reference TO myself be not one OF
desire on my part the expression is not on that account inc
less gratifying.
Doubtless the spontaneous and just appreciation OF an IN
tepen pcope the earthly reward for earnest and
cheen services rendered ones State and country and
Wills il is matter of unfeigned regret that my life has
been so barren of usefulness shall ever hold this and sn
lar tributes among my most cherished recollectons.

and wishes am with The highest respect and esteem,
