pect aud admiration but it has been
IN no manner the first of these senti

consequence, they conceive the pub

Republic, and u competent chief
magistrate must be of unusual teln-
per and power.
They have observed with attention
| your execution Of the public trusts
you have held, especially of that
with which you are now so honor
ably invested. They place their
reliance tor the usefulness of the serv-
ices they expect to exact for the bene-
Mt OF the nation upon evidence de-
rived from the services you have
performed for the State Of New
York. They invite the elector to such
prOOfs of character and competence,
to ju tify their confidence, that in
The nation, ~ heretofore n the State,
the public business will be adminis>
tered with commensurate inte'li-
g-nce aud ability, with single
! earted honesty and with n
'e'olute and daring fearless
less VIII ch n" faction, no combiua-
ton. no power of wealth, no mis-
taken clalnor can dismay or qualify.
In a spirit of wisdom and invoking
the benedictior of the Divine creator
of men, We challenge from the sove~-
eighty of this nation his words in
cOmmemOratiOn and %ratli cation
of our choice, "Well done thou
good and faithful servant, thou hast
been faithful over few things. I viii,
make the ruler over many things"
In further fultillment of our duty. !
