ship and confidence would have been welcome
and grateful to my feelings What. then, must
say Of one that is at the same time so eio-
quent. so cordial, so entirely acceptable , What
must say of what might almost call the over
drawn picture of my own public career which
you have been pleased to paint? In meeting you
on this occasion am not unaware that there
has been an effort made to prejudice me in the
minds of my German fellow citizens; but
never feared that Il would prevail because the
great diStipctiVeneSS OF the German blood is its
slowneSS in coming n a conclusion. its thor
olgbncSS of investigation ana the entire justice
of its final Judgment. lApplause,l recognize
the trutbfulness of what you say the devotion of
the Gerln0D-AmcrlcauS to the flag ami lnStitu-
tions Of the nationality they have assumed.
