when the excitement of the public mind
might well suggest prudent, if not timid
counsels-and speaking his whole mind out
upon a most difficult and delicate subject;
proclaiming, not afar off to the whole world
but to his own people, sentiments which he
well Knew were not only obnoxious to the
grea, majority of the living men before him
but by many OF them honestly belle, ed to
be Immediately inimical 10 the peace and
safety of the State. Nor while we con-
graduate the Commonwealth of Kentucky
on this successful assertion of the great
principle of the freedom of spccch-,he one

the genius of our institutions and while
we accord the need Of our gratitude and
praise to the man In whom good fortune, as
