Iappcar before you in answer t'
your call This call, coming in the
imposing form it does and under the
circumstances it does. requires Il re
Spouse from me. You haze assigned
to me very high and very honor
able and responsible position. Thi,
position you know did not seek
Most willingly wo1lh | have avoided
it, and nothing but an eXtrnordina'
ry sense Of duty could have induced
me to yield my own disinclinations
and avcrsions to your wishes and
Judgment in the matter. For this
unusual manifestation Of esteem and
confidence | return my profound ac'
acknowledgements Of gratitude. Oi
one thing only can | give you any
assurance and that is il ] shall be
permitted to discharge the trusts
thereby imposed. they will be dis
charged with a singleness of pnr-
pose to the public good The great
object with me now is to seea rcsto-
ration. ifpossibIe, of peace, prosper
ity and constitutional liberty in the
once happy hut now disturbed. agi-
tated aud distracted country, TO this
end all my energies and efforts tothe
extent Of their powers, will be de.
voted.
You ask my views on the existing
state of affairs, our duties AT the
present and the prospects Of the 'u-
turc. This is II task from which,
under other circumstances, might
very well shrink lie who ventures
to speak and to give counsel and
advice in times of peril and disaster
assumes no cnviable position. Far
be that ushness from me which
sometimes prompts the forward to
rush in where angels might fear to
tread. In responding therefore
briefly to your inquiries, ! feel. |
