phatic welcome to our city. With regard to
yourself, sir, we beg you to accept this well
come not merely as mark OF respect for
your high position as chief magistrate of the
nation, but as tribute to your personal
worth, and as a grateful acknowledgment
| of your services to the country. We cannot
| forget how earnestly you espoused the cause
OF the Union at the outset of the late un-
happy war, and how zsalously you devoted
your mastery abilities, your time and un-
firing energies to its preservation, and how
/ nobly you supported the administration of
your lamented predecessor, and how in the
dark hours of disaster you stayed his hands
when they were heavy, and gave him COM
fort when sad.
Since your elevation to the Presidency,
although responsibilities thrown upon you
far more momentous, if it were possible,
than ever devolved upon any of your prede
cessors, you have exhibited some fidelity to
your official obligations, some patriotism,
and some ineorruptible integrity. In offer
ing you this warm and heartfelt greeting, |
we discharge duty which we owe alike to |
you and to ourselves. Trusting that under |
the blessing of God, and with the aid ofatle |
advisers who compose your cabinet, your |
administration may result in the restoration
of harmony and coed feeling as between all /
States, we will add Long live the Presi-
dent, forever live the Union"
The President replied:
Mr.. MAYOR II thank you for what
you have said, and hope that those thanks
will not be attributed to personal vanity.
