We take occasion to express the hope that you will comply with the unanimous desire of the two Houses, in which the entire audience, on the occasion alluded to, participated. Very respectfully. Your ob tserv ts, D.W. C.Clarke, Secretary of the Senate, C.F. Davey, of the House of Representatives. Montpelier, Vt., 30 th October, 1850. Gentlemen: It was not my intention to publish the Address, of Avhich the two Houses have taken such flattering notice, as I thought of embodying it, with further amplifications of the subject, in a work I have in preparation for tlie press. But perceiving no valid objections to its publication in this fonn, though it may soon substantially appear in another, and being anxious to make every consistent response to a demonstration, of which I fear neither myself, normy imperfect effort, is worthy, I can do no less than comply with your request, and that which seems involved in the resolution, a copy of which you have forwarded to me. I, therefore, place the manuscript at your disposal, and, with the assurance of my personal regard, remain Your friend and ob tserv t, D. P.Thompson. To Gen. D.W. C.Clarke, Secretary of the Senate, Chalon F.Davet, Esq., Clerk of the House of Representatives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
