Es Never since the formation of TIL.

EE Never since the formation of this
Government hi. it presented so magnifi
cent spectacle as now. The colossal
proportions of its power are now seen
aud felt rs never before. 1t has been SC,
verely tested, but betrayed no sign Of
weakness. While the lenders, civil an
military, in the rebel states, have appeal
ed to the people with frantic ifnpiorings
aud stimulated them to uphold Ike rebel
lion with every means in their power,
the Chief Magistrate Of the National
Government has shown no fear or pas
sion. His proc!a mations have been calm,
but calm with the consciousness of irrssist-
lille strength. And look nj the result.
Victory follows ,ictory-one city after
another is taken-one State after another
cleared of rebel armies, and wherever
go the Stars and Stripes, the postman
follows closely, trade reyivcs and the
blessings of a stable government are felt.
Never has the power and benifcence Of
this Government appeared SO su lime rs
now.
