The President closes with the following
very appropriate remarks, which are worth
reading and remembering by all who have the
welfare of our country at heart. Not that
they contain any thing SO very new or nnsaid
before, but still they contain truth, and such
truth as it will do good his partisans. all par
ties, and every citizen of the United States to
remember.
You have no longer any cause to
fear danger from abroad; your strength
and power are we'll known throughout
the civilized world, as well as the high
and gallant bearing of your sons. 1t is
from within, among yourselves. from Gu
pidity, from corruption, from disappoint-
ed ambition, and inordinate thirst for
power, that factions will be formed and
liberty endangered. 1t is against such
designs, whatever disguise the actors
may assume, that you have especially to
guard yourselves. You have the highest
Of human trusts committed to your care.
Providence has showered on this favor
ed land blessings without number, and
has chosen you as the guardians Of free
dom to preserve it forthe benefit Of the
human race. May He, who holds III
hands the tavors he has bestowed, and
enable you, with pure hearts and hands
; and s!eepless vigilance to guard and de-
: fend to the end of time the great charge
, he has committed to your keeping.
My own race is nearly run; advanc
ed age and failing health warn me thai
: before long must pass beyond the reacl
; of human events, and cease TO feel the
5 vicisstudes of human affairs. ] thank
