you with feelings of gratitude too deep
for utterance.
Ny countrymen. bid You adieu =
Farewell! Sometimes think OF him who
has sacrificed all for you. Perhaps in
better days, when the storm of passion
and prejudice shall have passed away,
we may meet again. | may then be per
mitted to return-to mingle with my
friends, to take them by the hand and
forget my own grirfs to be happy with
you If this sh ,uId be denied me.
humbly trust we may all meet in hsaren
at last, TO pait no more.

Governor OF Louisiana.
