dreadful reality

the sncye generosity OF your republican entlinents
twas in those days of excited sympathy that from
the CITY OF Trenton several manifestations OF approba

The municipal authorities well as the citizens OF
Trenton have been among the first not only To tender
me hospitality but approve my prncipes-to bid me
God.speed and to encourage me- by their approoanon
and by their support to pursue that course In which

the Senate and General Assembly OF the State of New
Jersey added in themost generous manner Its egsa-
tive sanction tbofe principles which humbly advo-
cate and that legislative sanction having met the cor
dial ent of the honored Chief Magistrate OF the State
wh1m his personal merits and the peoples well-de'
served confidence raised to the head OF NewJerseys
Executive Government those principles become the
sovereign will of the sovereign people, pronounced by
its joint constitutional authorities.
Be pleased to accept the expression Of my warmest,
everlasting thanks for all this Kindness all this gener
