Gentlemen: I have the honor to acknowledge tbe
receipt of your favor ofthe 13th inst., In which you
are pieasea to speak in me most generous terms or
my course in the Senate of the-United States, and
to invite me to meet yon socially upon my retire
ment irom omce to receive your congratulations,
and give opportunity for the expression of your
approbation and good will.
I should be unworthy of the regard and esteem
of such gentlemen as Join In this communication,
If 1 did not prize tnese aina expressions or your ap
proval of my official life, and fully appreciate tho
compliment you tender me. Permit me to thank
you, gentlemen, for this fresh token of your kind
ness to me personally, and coming, as It does, from
citizens or rnuaaeipma, i Deg to wank you, auo,
fcr the compliment you pay my State In thus
honoring one of her citizens. To the people of New
Jersey, the State of my birth, and the home of my
choice, wno nonorea me witn a seat in tne senate,
and who have generously given me their confi
dence, support and approval throughout my Sena
torial term, my most grateful acknowledgments
are due. Next to these the people of Philadelphia,
with whom my business life for a quarter of a cen
tury has been cast, and who have placed me in
posts of honor and responsibility , have laid me under
greatest obligations; and I heartily rejoice if in my
official position I have succeeded In doing aught to
advance tbe business Interests of the city, or have
in any degree aided In sustaining the Industrial In
terests of tb great Commonwealth of which Bhe Is
the metropolis.
In dung this I am sure I have not failed in my
allegiance to my own State, for there la no antago
nism of interests between New Jersey and Pen
sylvanla. Lying Bide by side, separated only y
the peaceful waters of the Delaware, the social
and business relations of the two peoples are inti
mate and extensive, and their interests are singu
larly interwoven. Whatever tends to build up and
enlarge the commerce and business of Philadel
phia, promotes the prosperity ef New Jersey, and
in return New Jersey sends to your great marts ot
trade the fruits of her soil, the firstlings of her
flocks and the various products of her extensive
workshops which now dot the entire State.
Your City Councils have recently honored me
with a vote of thanks for my advocacy of League
Island. That Philadelphia and Pennsylvania will
most largelv reap the benefit of this measure I do
not doubt; but when League Island shall become,
as I have no doubt it will in good time, the great
naval establishment of the nation, if not the
greatest In the world, its proximity to New Jersey
must increase materially the population and busi
ness and add largely to tbe wealth of that part of
the State opposite tbe Island. This furuishes an
apt illustration of the community of interests be
tween the two States, and in advocating the mea
sure earnestly and persistently I am sure I was
rerving alike New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the
Union.
Educated in the school or Henry Clay, and adopt
ing at an early ae his views of protection, 1 came
to the Senate protoundly impressed with the eon
victiou that the protection of American industry
by a Judicious tariff, was the true interest of the na
tion; and this conviction has been strengthened by
the closest study of the question of which lam
capable. Holding this view I have as a member ot
the Finance Committee aod in my place ou Hie
tloor of the Senate, advocated aud voted for the
reduction as rapidly as possible of all Internal
taxes and tbe collection as far as practicable ot the
necewary revenue for support of the government
Irom impost duties, under a tariff so arranged as
to vleld a large revenue while affording proper pro
tection to American tudustry; aud 1 cannot doubt
that in this regard 1 have faithfully represented tbe
views or the people or your state, as well as those ot
mv own.
My term of service was In an eventful period in
the nation's history. The coinmeneeineut of my
term was shortly after tne cioss of the oivil war.
when Congress was confronted with the delicate
aud dlttlcult question of political reconstruction,
and the scarcely less delicate and difficult question
of Cnnnelsl reconstruction. Ttaeeo two grave snV
J"cts have well tittch reached a svisiactory con
clusion, and if In dealing with them my course has
met the expectation of hit 1 in tuo hate constituents,
atid I have moreover secured tbe approbation ot
my Philadelphia friends and business ass.iotatos,
my highest arntitlon hs been retched and tuere
wlth I am morn than content I am happy.
And now, gentlf men, whilo I should be delighted
to meet you in the manner proponed, I am ad
monished that the slate of my health, which ne
cessitated my withdrawal from public life, though
it is much Improved, is such that I must for tlie
present btishaud ru.v strength and seek lor a wliilfl
tbe quiet and repose I need. Therefore, much as I
regret the necessity, I must forego the plsaaure of
accepting year InTltation.
Confident that under tbe circumstances you will
excuse me, and begging you to rest asauie-1 tint I
shall ever cherish in grateful remembrance this
evidence of your kind consideration,
1 am, dear sirs, very truly, yours,
Alrxiniirr G. Cattbll.
