the efforts Of modern innovation that the pubic 40
main has been sayed from conscaton TO the purposes
Of the individual States that the unjust and disnrgah
eng attempts TO assume the debts oil The seVera aes
by the Government of the Unicn, has been feouheo
and generally disavowed; and that an odous ana uh
constitutional Tariff awaits in gloomy silence lis doom
a, the annroschino session of Congress. To exult with
them at the growing strength and power OF our come
deracy; our extended commerce; our successiui asr
culture and Improvement IN the arts; ana last out ho
least with great Joy, That the ait anu oho
of the Old DOMINION in the hands oil the hepnohcans

resolve looking buck on The dangers we have passed
to be on our guard for the future; trusting 10 Tie
strength Of arms, and the wisdom OF our

would forever insist ola rigid adherence 10, ant
strict construction OF, the Constitution OF our Union, a.
the means of safety, of liberty, of concord, and OF hap
pness.
For the generous and courteous manner, in whlcf
YOU have communicated the invitation OF the hepnbii-
cans of Amherst accept my cordial acknowledgements

offer the sutjoned sentiment as not inappropriate iron
