could it be effected would begin with civil discord and
end in colonial dependence on foreign Power and ob-
liberation from the List Of nations

belief that have expressed that could have been pre-
sent your celebration should have found all parties
concurrng 70 promote the object Of your association
You have distinctly expressed that object "to revive in
