home and enemies of Republican institutions
abroad
Thankful that our Armies and Navy have been
victorious in their efforts to save the country
that the times of terror almost ended; that the
arbitrament of arms to which rebellion appealed
is about to give place to the reign of peace;
Thankful that as nation our hearts have been
moved in that direction and with that power
which has oyerthrown both treason and traitors,
the fruits of which. a nation we shall soon De-
hold in the re-establlshment Of peace good order,
and the Constitution and Laws of onr common
country ..... p -.-.
Thankful that the great majority of the Ameri-
can people have recently exercised the preroGa'
tive of freemen in such manner as to insure
present good and future permsnency 10 our coun'
try and her institutions;
Especially ought we as people be thankfa! tor
our unbounded local prosperity, notwithstanding
the past wear has not been, in all respects as
prosperous as the former one, yet we have stead
lis progressed beyond the most sanguine eSpectn-
tions Of our ardent people.
Constantly have new and nch discoveries IN
mineral wealth been made in all sections of our
State Industry, in all the varied pursuits OF Ia
Dor, has been well rewarded. The earth has
Yielded its fullness want and hunger have been
banished from before the smiling face Of plenty
Schools have been multiplied; churches erected

u.s. and we have enjoyed the countless blessings
of health throughout our entire State.
Thankful that in the march of our temporal
progress We have emerged from Territorial TO n
State Government, with Constitution adapted
to our every want, and replete with sagacious
wisdom, LAYING the foundation of u permanent
and prosperous state, and by so doing we have
placed the Star of our Destiny in the Ark OF the
old Eniou where and its kindred stars will shine
forever in undimmed lustre.
