west, which ought to be proud Of such sons,
who can returp.to their constituents and truly
say: we find you this day stronger, a hap
pier, a more united people than you were when
we met at the capitol upon the first Monday in
december; for we have removed from this great
confederacy sore cause of strife, disturbance,
and collision. We have made your govern
ment more efficient for all the purposes of use.
iulness, and in that efficiency you of the north
have even more interest than those Of the
south, because You have more of those inter
ests which the government is called upon to
guard and protect; and we have accomplished
this great Legislative triumph by the simplest of
all processes-that of extending the iurisdic.
ton OF the Constitution over all the subjects of
federal legislation. We have applied its true
and Just principles to the question Of slavery
IN common with all others, and thus removed
the great stumbling-block in your path to pow
er and fame. Its broad agis now covers the
whole country, in all its parts--slaveho.d ding
and non-slaveholding all who dwell be-
meath Its shadow may live in the peace of con-
scious security. We have done this, because
we were taught by our fathers to believe that
IN so doing we should take the surest means
Ito form more perfect union, to establish JUS
tice, to insure domestic tranquility, to provide
for the common defence, to promote the gene
raj welfare, and to secure the blessings of lib
erty to ourselves and our posterity"
Mr.. President, the issues of all human ac-
ton are uncertain. No man can undertake to
predict positively that even virtue will meet
with its full reward in this world but this
much may be said with entire certainty, that
he who succeeds in marrying his name to
great principle achieves fame as imperishable
as truth itself.
