SIRE: The resolution which | have the honor OF
presenting to your Imperial Majesty is the voice Of
a people whose millions of lips speak from a single
heart. The many ties which have long bound to-
pether the Great Empire of the East and the Great
Republic of the West have been multiplied and
strengthened by the unwavering fidelity Of the lmpe-
rial Government throughout cur recent period OF
CONFUSION. The words Of sympathy and friendship
addressed to the Government AT Washington by COM
mand OF your Imperial Majesty are liked IN their
hearts. Aud all do homage TO that noble act OF hu-
manity which is especially referred to in the words
of Congress. The peaceful edict Of an enlightened
sovereign has uni n triumph over an inner
tied barbarism which our Western Republic has only
reached through long years of blOodshed. Ii is
therefore with profound emotion that | offer to your
Imperial Majesty, to the emancipated subjects. and
to all the people of this vast realm, our heartfelt
congratulations on the Providential escape from
danger which led to this spontaneous expression OF
regret for the attempt, and thankfulness for its mer-
ciful arrest. The story Of the peril from which n
kind Providence has delivered your imperial Majesty
brings wi,h it the remembrance of the mighty SORROW
which so lately filled every loyal heart in orr own
land OF The sudden loss of our Father. We thank
God that grief like this was spared to our friends
and allies, the Russian people. May the Father Of
all nations and all rulers protect and prolong the
life which He has so signally preserVed-the voice Of
the people to which it beongs-for the good Of man
kind and for the glory Of his name.
