When General Washington delivered
bis last Presidential speech to Congress.
on Wednesday the 18th of December.
1895, we find him closing his address
to that body, with the following words:
"1he situation in which I now stand
for the last time, in the midst of the
Representatives of the people of the
Unlted States, naturally recalls the pc.
riod when the present form of govern
nent commenced; and l cannot omit
the occasion to congratulate you, and
my country, on the success of the ex.
pertinent, nor to repeat my n sup
plications to the Supreme Ruler of the
Universe and Sovereign Arbiter of ma.
tons, that bis providential are may
still be extended to the United States:
that the virtue and happiness of the
people may be preserved; and that the
government which they have instituted
for the protection Of their liberties, may
be perpetual"
A resolution to respond to the senti
ments Of this speech by, "a respectful
address, having been adopted, FISHER

SON, of Virginia, SAM'L Sl~TGRgAvEs,

lowing is the concluding paragraph
MAY you long enjoy that liberty
