merely beaten; ii is annihated. The presidential cleo
ton has settled many Of the most important principles
since the government formed.
1t has consolidated and eternized the Union of the
States.

1t has spoken peace the adopted citizen and words of
welcome to the unfriended but meritorous immigrant
1t has Numbered forth to the Of spiritual yrants

has again rebuked the political priesthood of the
of church and State.
1t has hurled from the lap of the nation the rubbish of
sumpuary legislation prescribing what shall eat what
we shall drink, and wherewthal we shall be clothed.
1t has enunciaed in the most solemn the doc

1t has spurned the treason and the traitors of 1856.
1t has consigned the Wilson's and the Bankses, and
Hales and Wades, to an infamous notoriety.
1t has strengthened the hands of the friends of freedom
wherever its spirit is felt or its blessings desired.
1t has enhanced the glory and prosperity of the nation
almost beyond conception.
1t has given importance to every individual in the re-
public because he as looked upon citizen of the
