Description:Excerpt from Address to the Board of Aldermen, of the City of Boston, Jan; 3, 1829: On Taking Final Leave of the Office of MayorTo my fellow-citizens, who for so many years have supported, or endured an administration, con ducted on none of the principles, by which popularity is, ordinarily, sought and acquired, I have no lan guage to express my respect, or my gratitude. I know well that recent events have given rise, in some minds, to reﬂections on the fickleness of the popular will; and on the ingratitude of republics. As if the right to change was not as inherent as the right to continue; for the just exercise of this right, the people being responsible - and to bear the couse quences. As if permission to serve a people at all, and the opportunity, thus afforded, to be useful to the community, to which we belong and owe so many Obligations, were not ample recompense for any la bours, or any sacrifices, made, or endured, in its behalf. Is it wonderful, or a subject of reproach, that in a populous city, where infinitely varying pas sions, and prejudices, and interests, and motives must necessarily exist, an individual, who had enjoyed the favour of its citizens for six years, should be deprived of it, on the seventh. Is it not more a matter of surprise that it has been enjoyed so long, than that it is lost, at last?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
