no, The only, then the grandest experiment
Of proud self government. De Tocqueyille
tells Us that ali nations and all ages tend

the heediessness, nor tho ind fferencs, of the
American people forfeits this high honor,
Won for Us blythe tolls Of two generations
given to us by the blessings of Providence

citizen Of leading STATE Of this Western
Continent, vast in territory, ind yet nothog

and the majesty Of iss fusare--it is as such
citizen that shall, for once, try to lind
my duty, express rs an individual my op'n'

i.s du,y under such responsibility. II does
not lie in one man TO ruin US, nor IN one
man TO save u,-nor a dozen. 1t lies in the
twenty m,l,ous--in the thirty millions OF
thirty four States.
