Republican Herald

A Good Example. The Hon. Henry Baldwin of Pittsburg, while on his way home from Washington, was complimented with the offer of a public dinner by the citizens of Harrisburg, on the 24th ult. Contrary to the etiquette established by Henry Clay in such cases, Mr. B. declined accepting the invitation, and in a very appropriate letter to the Committee, observes as follows:

Having succeeded in effecting the great objects to which our common efforts have been directed, I indulge the confident hope that the result of the late election will be as auspicious to our country as it has been cheering and consoling to all our feelings as men and citizens of a great republic; and that the nation in placing at its head the patriot whose talents and services have been so often and so successfully put in requisition for its defence, will not only find in its future destinies as abundant cause for national gratitude and confidence as in the eventful times in which he has been heretofore so distinguished an actor, but that the achievements will unfold a chapter as brilliant as that which his victories have won for us all.
