Of the document.
Some of the political events OF the past year having
an immediate bearing upon our Federal relations,
and prObably upon the dcStln,cS OF the Republic,
all future will mark the DGTlOi of
important epoch in the history Of our country. The
series OF measures adopted by the last Congress for
the final adjustment of the various delicate and COM
phcated questions which had from time 10 time
broken out IN the conflicting pTcensl OF the North
and the South on the subject OF Slavery, were vel
coined by the country as the happy and nearly un-
hOped for conclusion to an angry AMI dangerous con
nOVersy that had long dlsturbe the amicable reia-
tons between the States, and mad al last threatened
the very existence Of Tie Union. Notwithstanding,
these measures had the concurrent support and
approval Of our most eminent statesmen, and
OF the leading Representatives OF the great
political parties and sectional divisions of the
country they were not, nor was It reasonable ex-
pectaiiOp that they would be entirely satisfactory

as the best result of the most earnest and patriotic
efforts to preserve the peace aud harmony OF the

not altogether delusive. The violence of passion

counsel and courageous and deVOtod patriotism have
borne the Union out IN safCii from the midst OF us
