have you done for Europe? What have you achieved for man? Have morals been ameliorated ? Has liberty been strcngethened ? Has any improvement in politics cr philosophy been produced ?

I see I have my apology in your indulgence. But I cannot prevail on in) self to trespass farther. Accept again gentlemen, my most grateful acknowledgments. Never, never can I forget this day : in private liie it shall be the companion of my solitude: and if, in the caprices of that fortune which will at times degrade the high and dignify the humble, I should hereafter be called to any station of responsibility, I think I may, at least, fearlessly promise the friends who thus crowd around me, that no act of mine shall ever raise d blush at the recollection of their early encouragement. I hope, however, the benefit of this day will not be confined. to the humble individual you have so honored. 1 hope it will cheer on the voung aspirants after virtuous iame in both our countries, by proving to them, that, however, for the moment, envy or ignorance, or corruption, may depreciate them, there is a reward m store for the man who thinks "with integrity and acts with decision The cotton factory at Paris, Ky.
