eign territorial integrity. All the people of all
the States are interlocked and interlaced in vast
web Of mutual interests, rights, and obligations as
various and precious as are tho characteristics
Of that wonderful civilization in which they par
ticipate. And this Union, through whatever
throes and crises il may pass cannot
expire except with the humiliation of the People.
Come what may, I believe that Massachusetts,
will do her duty. She will stand by the incoming
National Admini5tr ration, as she has stood by the
past ones; because her people will forever stand
by their Country. The records of her Revolt
tionary history declare her capacity and her will
to expend money, sympathy and men to sustain
the common cause. More than half the soldiers
OF the Revolution furnished by n. England;
and Massachusetts alone contributed more men in
the Federal armies than were enlisted in all the
Southern States. She is willing to make the same
sacrifices again, if need be in the same cause and
her capacity to do has increased in proportion
With the Increase in her wealth and population.
The echoes Of the thunder Of her Revolutionary
battle-felds have not yet died away upon the ears
Of her sons and tho VOWS and prayers Of her early
patriots still whisper their inspiration. The peo
nle Of Massachusetts, will, in any event, abide by
her plighted faith. She agreed TO the CCnstitu-
tion Of the United States Il is the charter of the
Union, it is the record Of tho contract, md the
