There are several little circumstances
which should have convinced my friends

In the first place, | have no more right to
the title OF" Honorable than may be claimed
by any other private gentleman. To the best of
nv recollection. | have never been a member
of the State Senate nor of the United States
Senate Half dozen Of my acquaintance
have been sunk to that level but up to this
time the partiality of my fellow-citizens has
spared me the disgrace.
Secondly, have received no flowers from
any source whatever, within the last three
weeks. and if | had, should not have made
of the Gqzate a blowinS-horn through which
to trumpet the unimportant fact to the
world.
And finally. having on voyage Of discov-

pleasure Of knowing Senator G. WASHINGTON

that a collision with COW, something of
