the perilous and darkened hours Of the night--in
The midst Of the reproaches OF enemies, and the
m sgvings OF friends, turn to that transcendant
name, for courage and for consolation. To him
who denies that our transatlantic liberty can be
combined with law and order, and the security Of
property, and power and reputation--to him who
denies that our institutions can produce any exal.

who denies that America has contributed any

We have enjoyed the consciousness Of present
prosperity and happiness. We have pleased
ourselves with we'll founded hope Of the future.
Let us remember as responsible beings that we
have duties and obligations resting upon US, cor
responding 10 the blessings with which Heaven
has favored Us.
