{"value"=>"Acknowledges their address and the freedom of the City in a golden box, with the sensibility and gratitude which such distinguished honors have claim to; that his conduct should have been approved by the State of New York, where difficulties were numerous and complicated, may be ascribed to divine wisdom on the minds of the people; and to the liberal sentiments of her citizens rather than any virtues of his; the reflection of these things as pleasing as the embarrassments of those days were distressing; prays Heaven's choicest blessings on their city."}
