T. =, Participating in the universal sentiment
of kindness to your person, respect for yo
character, and admiration of ysur services il
the cause of freedom and humanity. we Bit
you sincere, cordial and enthusiastic wei
come. .ftg .af.t t-g.'ear.p gfs..
Politicians of all parties, sectarians of va
rious denominations, philanthropist Of al
classes, happily and joyfully unite and har
monize in this spontaneous demonstration
The Pillars Of Hercules are past, the lofty
Alleghenies have been surmounted, and now
you stand, for the first time, in the very en-.
trance to the great Valley Of the Mississippi
Before you are multiplied evidences of IN.
dustry, Of entcrprize and prosperity. The
/ hand Of toll and the spirit of liberty have
gathered around the mouIdering ruins Of
Fort Duquesne; the elements of power, the
evidence. Before you lies region oftwon-
derful and surprising interest In the ag-
gregate and diversity of happiness, pros
iperity, and promise, the world cannot pro-
| duce parallel. Institutions the mostliberal,
governments, the most free, combined with
singular advantages Of soil, of climate, and
of commerce, have given to the enjoyment
iof life, realities neyersurpassed by the truths
OF history, and rarely equalled in the crea-
tions of fiction.
Though in the characters and habits of
those who dwell in that extraordinary valley,
you will doubtless find some things to cen
sure and condemn, you will find many to love
and admire. A manly spirit ofindependence,
.an indomitable love ofsliberty, are leading
traits in the character, They bow submis-
sively before the power of the Almighty, but
before none other unless it has emana-
ted from the people. Tyrants and tyranny
are unknown among them. To opppres-
sion they will soonersurrender existance than
liberty. Many battle field has afforded
lsanguinary evidence that theyyare insensible
to fear. Among such a people you will find
sympathiesin harmony with your feelings; as
lpirations delightful to your heart. z 7ao2 /
~ The States of the West owe their origin
and much. of their singular development and
almost miraculous growth, to the great .sys1
TEN Of free government established by the
federal constitution. That system was the
result of ages of trial and suifering, of'dis-
cipline and preparation. '' fro3 tEfs 16}
While the power of steam and the wonders
Of electricity reposed among the updiytllged
mysteries of nature, Improvement was scar
cely perceptible. Now the brief period al
lotted to the life ofman beholds more ofpro-
gress and Improvement than the Heightened
Gays youchsafed to the patriarchs. rvl
Once, old governments were seldom sub
verted or new ones notwithstanding
and duration were inscribed upon the sx-
isting order ofthings and the prevailing sys-
TENS ofgoyernment. New, under the magic
influence Of our liberal institutions, new Or
ganizations of government, with all the ap-
|pliances Of enlightened freedom and reg
ulatcd liberty, sprung into, being like 4 the
Goddess of Wisdom from the teerning brain
of Almighty Joye. ~ - ~ 'NN
