is an indispensable condition of peace,
security and progress. That year has,
moreover, been crowned with many in
dspensabIe blessings; the cruel war
which recently closed among us has not
been anywhere re-opened; foreign inter-
vention has ceased to excite alarm or
apprehension intrusive pestilence has
been benignly mitigated; domestic tran
quillity has improved sentences of con-
citation have largely prevailed, and at.

been widely reverenced our fields have
yielded quite abuudantly; our mining
