am bound by the ties Of affection. by the dc
tates Of Judgment, by the sense OF obligation
for favors SO often conferred upon me and by .
feryent hope that the party may long contin .

under such circumstance, do but yield my pr
vate wishes 10 The demands OF those whose
opinions 1 am bound to respect! lApplause.l
