dence, and in 81 conducted Us from the
impending horrors Of anarchy and ruin, to
union and government? Let it renew in
our bosoms that spirit which regards our
eountry as a family, cur fellow citizens as
brethren. Cherishing this sentiment our
country may survive temporary miscon-
duct, outlive the prosecutions Of party,
and we may still become a great, apros.
Porous and happy PEOPLE.
