Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Two Literary Societies of the University of North Carolina: June 5, 1850

Let us then, in withdrawing for a day or two from the sterner demands, and trying struggles, and petty strifes of every day life - while once more partaking of this fountain head of learn ing, and breathing the refreshing atmosphere of this classic re treat, contemplate anew the superior pleasures, the superior ad vantages, (not forgetting the higher responsibilities,) of the man of cultivated mind, over those who grope their way in untutored blindness - dull and inanimate amid the dazzling triumphs of genius, - insensible to the instructive beauties of nature, strangers to the captivating charms of polite literature, Born capable indeed of heavenly truth, But down to latest age from earliest youth, Their mind a wilderness, through want of care, The plough of wisdom never entering there.

The undersigned have been instructed by the Philanthropic Society, to return its grateful thanks for your very eloquent and instructive Address, delivered before the two Literary Societies of the University, on the day preceding the Annual Commencement, and to request a copy for publication.

Permit the Committee, Sir, in apprising you of this resolution of the Society, to express the hope that you will comply with its earnest wishes.

Gentlemen:

I have just received your communication, informing me of the resolution of the Philanthropic Society, requesting a copy of the Address I delivered before the two Literary Societies at the University, on the day preceding the last Commencement.

I am conscious that the Address was necessarily prepared in too much haste, and that it really has not merits sufficient to justify the expense incurred in its publication. In accordance, however, with established usage, I submit it to the discretion of the Society, and enclose you a copy.

Permit me to avail myself of the occasion to assure the Society of my gratification at their generous notice of the Address, and to tender you personally my thanks for the manner in which you have communicated its resolution.
