" delivered by him to the General AS
sembly, on the occasion Of his Inaugural
ton, thus briefly, clearly and comprehen-
sively sketches some striking character
istics Of the American Republic, and The
American people. How eloquent, how
impressive is the appeal conveyed by such
facts to every true hearted American ciii-
zen, TO preserve undimmed the glory, and
undated the strength Of. our happy Union!
The Constitution Of the United States Is
sixty years old It was formed and ADOPT
ed by the people Of thirteen separate and
independent States. The number OF States
now under itsiaathority is thirty. Whilst
It eoniers certain. enumerated powers up-
'onahe National Government, and makes
that Government, within tie sphere of its
powers, supreme, the State Governments.
within their spheres, are as distinct and
independent as though no Gene raj Nation
al Government existed During that SIX
~ years there has been bat one instance
in which a State, or the people Of a State,
have SO far resisted the laws of The Uni
on as to require the power of the Union
TO enforce obedience to- those laws. In
that case, obedience was secured without
the conflict Of arms OF the shedding Of
blood During the same period or lime.

On the 18th day of November, 1S4S, three
millions of voters, dispersed Throughout
these thirty States, which, with their ter.
ritories, coveraan area nearly as large as
the whole Of Europe, went ID the polls ufl.

health is Of more worth than gold. Man,
marriage begins like the rosy morning
then falls away like a snowwreath. Ant
why? because the married pair neglect t
be as well pleasing to each other afte
marriage as before. Endeavor always t,
please one another, bat at the same tim,
keep God in your thoughts. Lavish no
all your love on to-day; for remember tina
marriage has its tomorrow likewise, an,
its day after the winter Consider m,
daughters what the word wife expresses
The married woman is the husbands do
nestle faith; in her hand he must be abb,
