GOV. MORTON'S' SPEECH. le0
oSins-On behalf OF the people of Indi.
ana, l. bid you welcome. They avail
themselves Of this OCCASION to offer their
tribute of high respect to your character
as man and as Statesman. and in your
person to honor the high office to which
you have been elected In every free gov
eminent there viii be differences Of opin-
ION. and those differences result in the for
nation Of parties; bat when the voice 81
the people has been expressed through the
forms ofthc Constitution, all parties yield
to it obedience. Submission to the popu-
lar viii is the essential principle Of Re-
publican government. and SO vital is this
principle that it admits of bpt one excep-
ton. which is revolution. To weaken It.
is anarchy: to destroy il, is ,iespotism. =
1t recognizes no appeal beyond the ballot
box, and while it is preserved, liberty may
be wounded but never slain. To this
principle the people o. Indiana-,nen oil
all palties-are bound. and they here vel
come yon as the Chief Magistrate elect OF
the reople. When our fathers framed the
Constitution, they declared il was to form
more perfect union. establish Justice and
to preserve the blessings of liberty to
themselves and their posterity; and for
this consideration we proc'aim the deter
mination Of our people to maintain that
Constitution inviolate as it came frenl
their hands. This union has been the
idol of our hopes. the parent of our pros.
perity. our title to the re ',ect and consid.
Grafton OF the world. Mag it be preserved,
is the prayer ofe,ery patriotic heart in In.
diana, and that it shall be, is their deter
mination.
You are about to enter upon your official
duties under circumstance at once novel
and full OF difi;alty. AMI It viii DO the
duty Of all yooi citizens, without distiuc-
ton of party. to yield a cordial and ear
nest support to every measure Of your sd
ministration calculated to maintain the
Union. promote the national prosperity
and restore peace TO our distracted and I'M
happy country. Our government. which
but yesterday was the theme Of every en-
logy, and STOOL the admiration of TIN
world. is to-day threatening to crumbls
into ruins, and it remains to be seer
whether it possesses living principles, Of
whether in the fullness Of time the hour o,
dissolution is at hand. Bat we are full o.
confidence that the end is not yet, that thu
precious rich inheritance from our father,
will not elude our grasp or be wrestet
from us without o struggle; that we Ar
but passing through one Of those civil com
motions that make the history Of every ma
ton. and that we shall emerge from thu
present gloom into tho bright sunlight Of
peace and fraternity, and march forwart
with accelerated spoel in the paths Of pros
perity and power. m .e.aeis ,s.ls s24sf.
