We cannot conclude this address withol
congratulating you upon the triumphant
doption of the New Constitution, and tn
it glorious result of the first election under
Republican principles have achieved a gre
victory. The principles of the Democrat
party-all men are by nature, free and ind
pendent ali political power is inhere
in the people-government is institute
for their benefit and protection-they ha'
u a right to alter, amend or abolish It'll
o. prohibition of special privileges and speci
legislation-the right of instruction.
n right of petition-the freedom of speech-t
freedom of the press-the election of all {
fcers by the people-the responsibility
governors to the governed-the inviolabill
of the persons and property of men-the equ
taxation ofindividual and corporate proper
judicial reform-national honor and Sta
Intcgrity-have all been affirmed and a
proved by a decided vote of the people of o
State.
But our labors are not ended. Let US I
member that eternal vigilance is the price
Liberty. Let us show by our moderate
and decision that we are contendlng t
these principles, and are worthy of the Wet
ry which we have achieved.
