people Of New Yors, who have met those Of
the South with such kindness and such cor
diaity. [Applause.l But, gentlemen, come
solely that Imight thank you for the eordiahty
that You hare extended to IS, and to Al the
Southern Ststsss' delegations, and Tat might
explain to- you why it was that we were mere,
and what good We hoped might be erected oy
our presence. It was determined Dy US "nen in:o
