More than six wooks ago, in North Caro-
lima, l undertook TO attend the great Ma.
tonal Fair of the Northwest at Chicago.
Already ono Of tho two weeks sot apart for
that purpose Is past. and 1t will require great
activity on my part to keep my PROMISE and,
even US 1t Is, | will have to content myself
with hardly an hours visit to my children,
whom have hardly soon since the beginning
of tho war.

tion in tho objects of the meeting. know
that WOi0 the Government of the United States
possess organized power amply sufficient to

nations at home or abroad, aud TO punish
crimo wherever Il occurs hope that power
will be exercised ut all times openly and
without hesitation, not only to punish the
criminal, but to make his fate the example
for future timos. | know that our Govern
mcnt has only to make the law, and thou

with pride and satisfaction So majestic an
example will add u new sanction to the noble

industrious Of all lands to come and share
with US our surplus lands and common his.
