Toiexpress grhtiAldocto God. inthe' name Of
the People, the preservatono the United States
istny first duty in addressing You, Our thoughts
next revert tothe death Of the late President by
apcaet,of parrieidsl treason. The grief Of the
nation is still fresh it finds some solace in the
consideration that he lived TO enjoy the highest
proof Of confidence by entering on the renew
ed term oftt,e chief Msgstracy, to which he
had been elected; that hel brought the civil
war substantially 10 a close that his loss WAS
I deplored in all parts of the Union and that
foreign nations have rendered Justice to his mem
ory. His removal cast ul'on me aheavier weight
of cares thsnever devolved upon any one of his
predecessors. To fulfil MY trust need the sup.
port and confiAenee6f who are associated with
me in the varons departments of Government
and the support and confidence Of the people
There is hut one way in which | can hope to
gain their necessary aid :; it is, to state with
fsankpess the PRINCIPLES which guide my con
duct ,,and their application to the present state
Of affairs well aware thst the efficiency of my
labors will, in great measure, depend upon
your and their undivideFapprobaton
The Union of the United States of America
was intended by its authors to last ,as long ns
Athe'States themselves shall last, ",rhe Union
shall be perpetual" are the words of the Con
federation, "1c form more perfect Union, 7"
by sn)ordinRnee of the people Of the Gnited
States, is the declared purpose of the Cousttu-
tion The hand Of Divine Providence was
never more plainly sible in the aGSr56f men
