Excerpt from Inaugural Address of Andrew G. Pierce, Mayor, to the City Council of New Bedford: Delivered Before the Two Branches in Convention, January 6, 1868 Gentlemen of the City Council: We have been called by the decisive voice of our fellow citizens to the charge of the municipal affairs of our city. To us have been committed its interests for the ensuing year. Had I consulted my own feelings, some other person than myself would have occupied my present position, and I must confess to some want of confidence in my ability to discharge the duties of a place which has been well filled by so many able predecessors. In assuming, gentlemen, the duties and responsibilities devolved upon us by the confidence of the people, let us trust for guidance in Him who rules supreme over men and governments, and having taken the required oath, approach our duties, sensible of its solemn obligations, with the full purpose to discharge them according to our ability and as we deem for the best interests of all our citizens.
