with which they will be employed, and the
cheerfulness with which every necessary
burden will be borne; greater respect
for our rights and longer duration of our
future peace are promised, than could be
expected without these proofs of the. ma
tional character and resources.
The war has proved, moreover, that
our free government like other free go
vernments, though slow in early move
ments, acquires in its progress force pro-
portioned to its freedom /; and that the uni
on of these states, the guardian of the
freedom and safety of all and of each, is
strengthened by every occasion that puts
it to the test.
| In fine the war, with all its vicissitudes,
is illustrating the capacity and the destiny
| of the U. States to be great, -four
ishing, and powerful nation worthy of
the friendship which it is disposed to cul
tivate with all others, and authorised, BY
its own example, to require from all an
observance of the laws of justice and re
ciprocity. Beyond these their claims have
never extended; and, in contending for
these we behold a subject for our congratu

may humbly repose our trust in the
smiles of Heaven on so righteous cause.
