have been and are associated With YOU, have |
imposed upon all Of US deep debt OF graft

c.ve, they are lost in you complete and
trancendant success. Loud apd con,ipued

arts, manufactures, agriculture, and all
that goes 10 promote our domestic comforts
and our universal prosperity Sir, if you
had achieved no ether good but that which
you have in bringing together in this me-

you would have fulfilled, perhaps, one of
the most important of missions--that of
strengthening and perpetualmg that blessed
Union. Great applause But you have
done more, an you have hobly alluded to
it, Your Exhibition has been the means
Of bringing here, from all the civilized coun-
tries on the face of the globe, men most en-
incnt in all the walks of life: and thus you
have dope more than could be done in al
most any other manner to promote that great
object dear to you dear to me, and dear to
my venerable friend near me, Bishop Vain
right, peace and good will among men,
Applause, I have not the voice at this
time to address you at any greater length,
and conclude by again returning to you my |
thanks for your generous reception, and ten
derng my hearts best wishes for the sue
cess Oh your praiseworthy enterprise" Zap Il
