    TO HIS EXCELLENCY DANIEL D. TOMPKINS, GOVERNOR OP THE STATE OF NEW-YORK, &c. &c. JL Feel myself happy, on the present occasion, in the opportunity afforded me, of thus publicly ex- pressing my sentiments of honour and esteem for so distinguished and illustrious a character; in whom are happily united the rare, estimable, and envi- able qualities of civil, military, and private worth; the patron of science, and the irreproachable friend of his country; whose skill in devising, and zeal in executing, the various means of safety and de- fence in the late arduous and important conflict, entitle him to the grateful remembrance and the affectionate acknowledgments of an applauding peo- ple. That your Excellency, through the favour of Di- vine Goodness, may long be rendered the happy guar- dian of our Republic, and the blessing of our Coun- try, is the unfeigned wish of Your humble Servant, J. W. HEUSTIS. New-York, Dec, % J816.
