thank you gentlemen for this call
and for the handsome manner in which

membercd and noticed by you as yom

self as at all entitled to the praises Mr.,
Martin has pronounced in my favor
| have simply tried to do my duty,
and well know that wcro | to be cut
down, there arc many more ready and
willing to take my place, who would
render just as loyal, and much more
able service to our country than have
done. In ono particular, however, |
will accept ofthe kind sentiments you
bear for mo, for in loyalty to our flag,
in the determination and purpose to
sustain its honor Iyicld to no man. |
saw the carly indications of our pres
ent national troubles, and within my
limited sphere, used whatever oflnhu
cnce | possessed to stay its coming
But when tho rebellion once openly
broke out, it required no time for me
to determine as to myown course, and
the duty of all true patriots. | rosolv-
cd at once that this country should not
be broken up-that State should not
be discovered from Statc-that treason
and rebellion should not triumph
but that the postcrity of the noble men
who laid the foundation of our Gov
crnmcnt, in revolutionary days, would
preserve that Government. | did not
believe that the mon of this genera
ton were so degenerate, so unworthy
of their revolutionary fathers, rs to
allow this great country to be destroy
cd. Gentlemen, our country is an en-
tircty-as d unit IL came into our
hands, from WASHINGTON and his com
pccrs-ono single grand domain, since
stretched from ono ocean on the East
to another in the West, and capable OF
indefinite extension to the North and
the South, and ONE country II must
remain 10 the latest generation, Such
is the resolve of your armies in the
field; and that thisrosult will bo work
cd out, you may take my word for it.
But | did not intend to make you a
spccch--my forte, ifI have any, is in
another sphere, I will thank you
again for your call, and for your OK
ccllcnt music, and inform you that |
am told the ladies have q table spread
in tho dining room, TO which you nrc
all made heartily welcome, The ladies
in this matter have acted as self con.
stitutcd commissarics for inc, and | dc
not doubt but that their preparation
will be equal to that Of our most ac
complished commissary in tho army
Gentlemen walk in and make your
selves at home. 'I '. '' '''
