ered 70 assign 10 other agents We should bear constant
y IN mind the fact that the considerations which induced
me trainers OF the Constitution to withhold from the Gen
era Government the power egu ate the great mass of
The business and Of the people, have been fully
Justified by experiences and that il cannot now be doubted
mat the genius Of all our institutions prescbes simplicity

yet to be effected in the present and future execution Of
me functions bestowed upon Us by the Constitution
Limited TO general experimenting power TO maintain
peace at home and abroad and to prescribe laws ON few
ubIects OF general interest," calculated to rese. human
liberty, but to enforce human rights this Government will
Md It's strength aud its glory In the faithful discharge Of
hese PLAIN and simple tuties Relieved by lis protecting
hed from the fear Of and th apprehension Of opprcs
non, the free enerprze Of our citizens aided by the State
overeigntes, will work out Improvements and ameora-
lions which cannot fail to demonstrate that the great truth
hat the people govern themselves is not only realized
IN our example, but that It done by machinery in gov
lmment so simple and economical scarcely 10 be fell

earnest and sincere prayer.
