Gentlemen :—I nave a high degree’of
satisfaction in acknowledging the receipt
of.youF favor, transmitting resolutions
adopted by the Common Council of the
city of Detroit, in which after expressing
their patriotic devotion to the Union, and
their gratification with the settlement by
Congress of the vexed questions which
have so long agitated the nation, they are
pleased to express their approbation qf
the exertions of those in our national
councils whojiave contributed to uphold
the confederacy against the attacks of
Northern fanatics and Southern disorjrani-
zers, and they do me the honor: to asso-
ciate my name with those of the distin-
guised Senators from Michigan apd Mas-
sachusetts as having aided in the preser-
vation of (he Union. The Common
Council also do me the honor to invite
me to visit Detroit, on my return from
Washington to Kentucky, and to accept
the hospitalities of tbe city.
I beg to tender to the Common
Council an expression of my grateful ac-
knowledgment for the flattering testimo-
nies of their esteem and regard; The
adjustment of the question to which you
refer, is, I think, a just cause of general
gratulation ; it was attended with great
difficulty was augmented by an amount
of ultraism, from both sections of the
Lnion, which I have never before seen
in the national councils.
