Tending uss with His guardian care,
against unfriendly. designs from abroad,
and vouchsafed to US, in His mercy, many
and signal victories over the enemy who
is of our own household. It has also
pleased our Heavenly Father to favor as
we'll our citizens in their homes as our
soldiers in their camps and our sailors on
the rivers and seas, with unpsqal, l,t health.
He has largely augmented our free popu-'
1ation by emancipation and by immigrs-
ton, while He has opened TO as new
source of wealth, and has crowned the
labor of our working men in every depart
ment of industry with abundant reward.
Moreover, He has been pleased to ami
mate and inspire our minds and hearts
with fortitude,, courage and resolution
sufficient for the great trial Of civil war
into which we. have been brought by our
adherence, as o nation, to the cause OF
freedom and humanity, and to afford to
us reasonable hopes of an ultimate and
happy daiserance from all cur dangers danger
and affections.
