series of revolutionary movements, which arc
too often found necessary to effect any great and
radical reform; but it ID the crewning merit of
our Institutions, that they create and nDnrish in
the vast majority of our ptople. disposition and
power peaceably to remedy abuses which have
elsewhere. caused the efusion Of rivers of blood,
and the sacrifice of thousands Of the human
race. a..
The result thus far is most honorable to the
self denial, the intelligence and the patriotism
Of our citizens; it Justiies the confident hope
that they will carry through the reform which
has been SO well begsn, that they will go still
farther than they have yet gone in illustrating
the important truth, that people as free and en-
iigbtened as ours, will, whenever it becomes
necessary, shew themselves to be indeed capa-
bic of selfgovernment by voluntarily adopting
appropriate remedies for every abuse, and SUBJ
mitting 10 temporary sacrifice, however great, to
insure their permanent welfare. ....1.
My owhexertons for the furtherance OF these
desirable objects have been bestowed throughout
my official career with zeal that is nourshed
BY ardent wishes for the welfare Of my, country,
and by an unlimited reliance on the wisdom that
marks its ultimate decision OH all great and con-
troverted questions. Impressed with the SOL
