The situation of pubUc affairs is truly afflicting ; but the course to be pursued in this crisis is clearly pointed out in your suggestions, and is entirely conform- able to my judgment. Firmness, calmness, perseverance, and (for the present) steady inaction, are the true prin- ciples of policy, justice, and honour, towards ourselves, our friends, and the country ; and you may rely on my strict observance of these principles in 'word as well as in deed.
I am not in the least disturbed or agitat...ed ; this occasion is too great for passion ; the sorrow is too deep for lamentation. If ever that spirit "which raised to height of noblest temper heroes old " can inspire this age, we should invoke its aid, for we require every effort, both of courage and temper. For my own part, I look to the lot assigned me in this public calamity with gratitude to God, and with an humble but steadfast confidence in my final reward, here and hereafter, for the just and faithful discharge of my high duty.
All sense of the peril of my station is lost in the contemplation of its glory, and I bless the goodness of Providence, which has enabled me to close a long and arduous career of public life, by a trial which must prove my title to the affection of my country and to the respect of the world.
