% Felloo Citizens cf the Senate and House of
Repesentntiues:
The will Of the people,eSpressed in the mode
prescribed by the Constitution, has summoned
me for the second time TO the duties and respon-
sblities Of the Chief Masstracy Of Ohio, and
have now, in Your presence, and in the presence
OF the people here assembled, taken upon my
self the solemn obligation Of an oath to perform
them faithfully.
During the two years since was first honor
ed with this trust, it has been my constant en-
deavor to acquit myself oft as became citizen
devoted to the Institutions of the State, and
bound by every obligation of honor and graft
tude to the faithful service of the people l
may not say that | have committed no errors.
Doubtless some things have been omitted which
might have been done, and some things done
which might have been better done. But may
say, andit seems not unfit that should say,
here, in this presence, fearing no contradiction
Of any truthful man who knows the truth, that
all my acts have been designed to promote the
highest interests OF the State, and that my
best faculties anil my most earnest endeavors
have beenn actively and unremittingly devoted
t. her service, .s...-
Assuming now, once more in obedience to the
popular voice, this responsible trust my past
must stand sole sponsor for my future Larger
experience and better Information will, | trust,
enable me 10 accomplish something more for
the public good than has been hitherto effected;
but my aims, my purposes, and my principles Of
action must remain unchanged. .rt 5
You will not expect of me, gentlemen. on
this occasion, any discussion Of civil or political
questions ! have already withina few days,
made fully known to you my views in relation
to public affairs. That those views will meet
your concurrence in all respects, it would be
presumption in me TO anticipate; but there is
one point, at least where all our judgments, all
our purposes, and all our exertions may well
Join The common good should be, and trust
will be our common aim. Under our fortunate
polity, no king--no Arstocracy-no Arbitrary
Powcr-no Privileged Class-can claim to be
the State The welfare the honor, the advance
ment in all things good and NOBLE Of the State,
is snothing else than the welfare, the honor the
advancement of the people and the whole peo-
pie. 70 these great objects, gentlemen, how
ever we may differ as to the best means of pro-
noting them, we may well join in addressing the
most strenuous exertions OF our highest powers
1t il not ou' part, happily, to lay the tounda-
ton of institutions. That work is DONE and
well done to ourhands Its our singular fell
city to be citizens Of the first State OF the Union
organized, through the wise Providence of the
Founders of the Republic, upon those "flnla-
mental principles OF evil and religious liberty"
which they declared TO be the basis fall Amer
lean Constitutions. In the orga~ izalon OF 9th
er States unfrlendly circumstances had permit
ted only the partial application Of these prlncl-
plessg In the organizliiVn of this no such cir
cumstanceS interpoSed their evil Influences -
The institutions of Ohio were framed in precise
harmony with the ideal of d State as it existed
in the minds OF the great master builders of the
Confederacy and of the Uniong The IDEAL de-
manded, first of ALL the absolute freedom of ev-
cry individual guaranteed and secured byimpar-
tai law: next, invoabity of conscience, ami
tjhst protection to all forms of worship. and all
religious organizations; then the sacred 0bSer.
vance of contracts; then. the promotion OF reli
gion, morality and knowledge BY universal edu.
cation. There was nothing narrow, nothing il.
liberal, nothing unjust in this IDEAL 1t welcom-
ell the immigrant to the Fl. est part cpation
with the homeborn ip The inestimaoie blessings
OF popular institutions. 1t pledged the States
to be formed under it, to perpetual Union with
their sister States. 1t established the Soyer
eighty Of the People under the indestruelible
foundation of the Rights of Man. g ~
Organized under these auspices, and in accor-
dance with this IDEAL, Ohio may justly be STYLED
the model State of the American Union. 1t Is
an honorable, a gratifying distinction. Let it
be our care gentlemen, that its luster he sullied
! by no act oFomission Of ours Upon the soil
thus consccrated to Liberty and Union-upo
the foundations thus wisely laid, of Equality and
Justice, let us so on, in humble dependence up
on Divine favor to build, yet broader and high
er the noble edifice Of truly Democratic and
truly Republican Slate, never forgetting that
Man is more than Institutions, and Right the
sole vital principle Of Law. 0'as
We shall repair now, gentleman, to our re
spective duties. In the great work to which
have referred, you will ever find me, trust, a
prompt and dilligent co worker; and tits nv ear,
nest wish that you may perform SO faithfully
your part in il, that Ohio may long remember
withpride and gratitude the General Assembly
you have the honor 10 constitute, ua
