In the absence Of any part of the vehement
excitement which has characterized the last
four or Eve years of the history Of the United
States, an here 10 day to speak TO you in
plain, earnest and sincere, though unimpas
stoned, language. The calm which naturally
follows violent storm, is already upon US

bitter feelings and fierce animosties of the

now rather to assuage ths fountains of
bitterness,
