But Iwould svail myself Of this occasion
to accomplish another purpose. I am anx.
iotis ftisst the people Of this entire country
may feel That the exploits Of the Navy where
ever performed are their exploits, that its
glory is their glory, and that while they are
taxing themselves 70 support Il, tl,ey are
supporting the right arm or the national de.
lehse. I desire the citizens Of the most te-
mere frontier to feel that he ais equally pro.
tecfed and equally honored by the brave
deeds of our naval officers with the citisen Of
the Atlantic coast. wish the men Of Iowa
and Minnesota to know that they are as Of
fectually defended in their liberties at home
and in their honor abroad, by the sohieve-
ments of Dupont and Geldsboroush and
Stringhsm and Foote on the water, ~ they
can be BY aay victories wen bysous armies
on the land. 81 n. .s .gaik d ssts s.is

Of great lakes ALREADY bearing upon their
hosoms i registered commercial tonnage Of
nearly half smillion, and navigated BY 4
race Of daring, industrious, northern seamen.
Unlike any other maritime nation, ours is
,trayersed by navigable rivers, thousands Of
miles in length, floating an inland commerce
unequalled by that Of any other country In
the world, except, possibly, that Of China,
and capable of navigation by armed vessels
Of great capacity. With country Of such
extent, soil and climate furnishing such
productions, and population along our
ocean, gull, bay, lake, and river coasts. &C.
oustomed to navigation, who does not see
that ours must, from tho very necessities Of
our geographical position, and the oonforma-
ton Of our continent, become great oom-
msroial peoples Oar products must be
borne TO remote nations in our own ships.
