Ny Fellow Citisens Il appear before you
on this occasion with no intention of making
a speech. 1t has been my purpose, since L
have been placed in my present position to
make no speeches. This assemblage having
been drawn together at the place of my resi-.
dence, it appeared TO be the wish of those
composing this vast assembly to see me, and
it certainly is my wish to see all OF you. L
appear upon the ground here at this time, only
for the purpose Of afording myself the best
opportunity of seeing you, and enabling you
to see me. l confess, with gratitude be it un-
derstood, that did not suppose that my APP
pearance among you would create the tumut
which l now witness. l am profoundly CRATE
full for this manifestation of your feelings l
am grateful because it is a tribute such as can
be paid to no man as a man; it is the evidence
that four years from this time you will give a
like manifestation TO the next man who is the
representative of the truth on the questions
which now agitate the public, and it is because
you will then fight for this cause, as you do
now, or with even greater ardOr than now,
though l may be dead and gone. l most pro-
foundry and sincerely thank you. Having
said this much, allow me now to say that it is
my wish that you will hear the public discus
sion by others of our friends, who are here for
the purpose of addressing you, and that you
will kindly let me be silent
