two pupils one hour will be devoted, and an extra
half hour for every additional pupil; $40 per

Though time be precious, can use

And thus take time to read th news

springing up as if by enchantment, from the
bosom of our own Western wilds; and that the
courageous energy of our people is making
these United States the great Republic of the
world, and these results have not been attained
without passing through trials and perils, by
experience of which, and this only, nations
can harden into manhood.
Our forefathers were trained to the wisdom
which conceived, aid the courage which
achieved independence, by the circumstances
which surrounded them, and they were thus
made capable of the creation of the Republic.
1t devolved on the next generation TO con-
solidate the work of the Revolution, to deliver
the country entirely from theinfuence ofconfic
ting transatlantic. parialities or antipathies
which attached to our colonial and revolution
airy history, and to organize the practical ope-
ration of the Constitutional and legal institu-
lions of the Union. To us oithis generation
remains the not less noble task of main
tanning and extending the power ofthe
United States. We have at length reached
the stage of the national career in which the
dangers to be encountered and the exertions to
be made are the incidents not of weakness but
of strength. In our foreign relations we have
to attemper our powerto the less happy con-
dition of other Republics in America, and to
place ourselves in the calmness and conscious
dignity of right, by the side of the greatest and
wealthiest of the EmpiIes of Europe. In our do
nestle relations we have TO guard against
the shock of the discontents, the ambitions,
the interests anu cAuUeraHt anu lneAeioie
sometimes irregular impulses of opinion, oil
of action, which are the natural products of the
present political elevation, the self reliance and
the restless spirit of enterprise of the people
Of the United States.ssI shall prepare to surren,
der the Executive trust 70 my successor, and
retire to private life with sentiments of pro-
found gratitude to the good Providence which.
during the period of my administration has
vouchsafed to carry the country through many
difficulties, domestic and foreign, and to enable
me to contemplate the spectacle of amicable and
respectful relations between ours and all other
Governments, and the establishment of consti-
tutor al order and tranquility throughout the
Union.
