One year ago, the Putnam Phalanx, of Hart
ford, entertained, in most generous and hOspita-
BILE manner, the State Guard battalion, of this
city Desiring to manifest their appreciation of
this courteous treatment, the State Guard pre-
pared a vote of thanks, which, handsomely en-
crossed and surrounded by excellent likenesses
of the officers Of the Guard, it was arranged
should be presented on the anniversary of last
years visit. The penwork of the Tesolu-
tons was executed, in style of unsurpassed
artistic beauty and laultless workmanship, by
the famous Providence penman, Mr.. Fielding
Schofeld. and was one of the best of his efforts.
Last Saturday was the day for the presentation,
and committee Of the Guard was selected TO
90 to Hartford.
A few days ago, an invitation was received
from the Rhode Island authorities, for the of
ticers of the Guard to be present at the dedica-
ton of the state soldiers and sailors monu-
mcnt, at Providence, to take place on the day
selected for the trip to Hartford Arrangements
were accordingly made to go to Hartford by way
of Providence, stopping at the latter city to par
ticipate in the ceremonies there. Position was
assigned to the visitors in the line of procession,
but, before arriving at headquarters, aCourteous
invitation vas received from Capt. G, K. Dennis,
commander of the famous FIRST Light Infantry
of Providence, to join with his command. The
invitation was accepted, and the visitors were
'sandwiched with the Infantry staff, with whom
they remained during the entire march.
The occasion proved one of great interest, no
demonstration on so grand scale ever having
| been seen before in Rhode Island. Gen. Burn
| side acted as chief marshal, and tie procession
was composed of Grand Army posts and mill
| tary organizations from all parts of the state
The Grand Army veterans came out in force TO
make fine appearance, They were divided in
| to sixteen regiments and three brgades, COM
manded by Gen. Chas. r. Brayton. The militia
| comprised thirty-SiX skeleton regiments, num-
bering about seventy companies averaging forty
men each. The militia was handsomely uni
formed and equipped and the combined effect
of the great variety of gorgeous uniforms was
| most pleasing. After the march through some
of the principal streets of the city, the process
| sion halted near the monument, which is sit
uated on Exchange place. The streets were
crowded with visitors, and every available point
of observation was filled with spectators 1t
was estimated that thirty thousand strangers
were in the city
| The granite work of the monument is thirty
two feet high and is surmounted by an allegorical
representation of America eleven feet high,
making the whole forty-three feet. The statue
of America, as is all the bronze work. is of the
finest Munich bronze. She is represented with
a cap of liberty and crown of stars; her right
arm is extended, bearing wreath of laurel,

Henry L. Pierce, ESq.-Wy Dear Sir: | adj
dress you as the chairman of a committee of
my friends, who have had the kindness to pro
pose to present my name to the republican con-
vention as a candidate for the office of governor,
to tender to them my thanks for their good
wishes on my behalf, and to assure you and
them that am not insenSible OF the honor done
me by their action; but | have come to the
clear opinion that the interests of the republican
party and of the common wealth will be best
subseVed by the withdrawal Of my name from
the list of candidates.
There ought, IN my opinion, TO be no division
among the republicans of Boston and of this
vicinity in this emergency, which certainly is
very grave enc. As a citizen of the common
wealth l cannot help the conviction that the as
saultS which have been recently made upon the
executive and legislative policy which has been
pursued for the last dozen years-and, indeed,
since the republican party has had control of af-
tairs-have not only been wholly without
ground in justice or truth, but they have tended
seriously to inure the good fame and credit of
the state.
Massachusetts has been, and is, a well goy-
erned commonwealth. The names of her chief
magistrates cannot be spoken without respect,
nor can the management of her public affairs be
successfully impeached, or even assaled. am
its possibility do not doubt,-a union of all re-
publicans in the defence of their own admins
tratons, now so violently attacked. | am salts
fled, also, that the attacks upon the republican
party of the state, and upon its administration
ofaffairs tend not only inevitably to disorganiza
ton and disruption here, but to a still wider and
farther reaching disorganization in other states.
cannot, therefore, for moment, hesitate,
on personal grounds, in a crisis which seems TO
involve the integrity and success of the party,
and its principles, in the natiOn as well as in
the state. In this emergency, l trust the repub-
licans of this city and vicinity, and the entire
state may speak with a united voice; and
have, therefore, resolved that no division in re-
gard to men, SO far as can remove division and
promote unity-shall exist. No personal sac
riice which | can make is too great if may
thereby contribute to produce a result / deem so
desirable.
therefore take this opportunity to ask my
friends, through you, to withdraw my name
from the canvass.
| remain, very sincerely,
". rnINo
