Thompson, Smith, Hoag, McCamus, Groot, Vedder, Holmes and other fellow citizens of Schenectady : Gentlemen: I cannot but be very grateful for your kind appi-eciation of the discourse, which, at your request, I now put into your hands. But far deeper than any sense of personal appreciation is that grateful emotion, which every patriot feels at each new demon- stration that, however people may have differed before, now, in this time of the nation's bei-eavement, without distinction of party or of... sect, they come together in sentiment, speech, and action, to the support of the governmeat and the assertion of its authority. In regard to the present discourse, delivered only thirty-six hours after the death of the President, it was, of course, prepared in greatest haste and under intensest excite- ment, an unutterable grief and equal indignation alternating and commingling. Never were the people shocked with so great a horror ; they shook their heads in doubtful augury of the future ; waiting anxiously for each new telegram from Washington!, they yet almost feared to receive it, lest it should tell them of further assassinations.
