Mr.. DCRANr's ADDRESS
Fellow Citizens--In answer to this iatterng
cali, of which am SO entirely unworthy, l
} find myself in the presence of double duty
first, to thank you for the distinguished honor
you have conferred upon me, and next, to ex-
press my profound regret that its cause lies in
the absence OF the distinguished citizen whose
presence here we all desired, and under whose
ministration it would have been an honor for
Us ali to sit refer to q man whose character
{ is dear to the whole American people, who
, stands now a specimen ofthe nobIest citizen of
the republic man who when his name is
pronounced thousands OF the hearts of his feL-
low -ctizens b4at with emotions OF jov, aud
t man whose heart. filed with the most gener-
1 Gus sentiments, had no aspirations but for the
. lenett OF the human race; whose perceptions
was equal TO see, whose action prompt to per-
, form, all that was necessary to promote the
elevation Of humanity; the man OIL whose brow
affection for the people will sit as the sun ling.
, ers on the highest mountain tops as it sets. /

but whose memory and may the day be far
distant when We come to speak of it, will ling
