ton, the father ofhis country, shook hands,
and bade his countrymen, farewell, and
left with them the following instructions.
and prophetic lesson: "Citizens," says he
"by birth, or choice Of common country, ,
that country has a right to Concentrate
your affections. The name AMERICAN,
which belongs to you in your nation al
capacity. must always exalt the just pride
of patriotism, more than any appellation
from local determinations" In the same
address, our country's father uses the fol-
lowing prophetic language: "In contem.
plating the causes which may disturb our
Union, it occurs as matter Of serious con-
Germ that any ground should have been
furnished for characterizing parties by
geographical discrimina atoms - Northern
and Southern, Atlantic or Western; whence
designing men may endeavor to excite a
belief that there is real difference of To-
cal interests and views. One Of the expe-
dients OF party to acquire influence within
particular districts is, 10 misrepresent the
opinions and aims OF other districts. You
cannot shield yourselves too much agains,
the jealousies and heart burnings which
spring from these misrepresentations.-
They tend to render alien to each other
those who ought to be bound together
by fraternal affection" Could prophetic
vision have painted out more clearly the
political movements now being made?

and while it is not what we desire, il is
more than was expected; and therefore. we
will uphold it as far as in US lies, until it is
