Lincoln, should have brought US to the present
unsettled condition of things! When Con.
gress shall have declared the peoples will to
tnese disorganized communities, it is then the
duty OF the President to see that the Law is ex-
ecuted and all people protected Under it. Its
power does not extend to the sword. 1t does
not extend to the execution of the law it
makes. Its functions are directly considered
at an end when the law is passed. Then it is
the duty Of the Executive to put into execu-
ton the will of the people embodied in the
laws The Constitution deposes this power in
the President. If we have any difficulty
which hope we shall not have, it will be from
the neglect of the Chief Executive of the ma
ton to carry out the will of Congress thus de-
clared. We may at least be assured of one
thing. If we sleadfastly adhere with true
courage and true perslstency, such as the north
has shown thus far, We may be absolutely GER
tain IN the end that shall achieve the
result. Great Fundamental reforms are not
the work of a moment, they do not spring up
IKE the flowers in the morning sunshine
They are sometimes the work of years or OF
centuries. A people true to the instincts of
republican form Of government, though they
in such struggles sure, in the end, to gain a
solid and lasting progress and peace. have
already occupied more OF your time than | in
tended. There are many other topics on
which should have been glad to speak, but
the distinguished gentlemen who are to follow
me, alll lay bstore you these great matters in
a manner which | am sure will be much mo re
acceptable to you than anything l could do.

has been an eventful one in the worlds his-
tory, and though the greatest of it's events
there, Christian civilization and true pro-
grees have received no check, but have the
rather gained strength for now Advancement
and future conQucsts.
At home, great and manifold mercies have
been conferred upon
Is has pleased God to turn aside from Us
the dreaded pestilence, and in its place to be-
stow upon Us q season of unusual health.
de has inspired In the hearts OF the people
generally, the spirit of Christian benevolence
and hberaiIty, InanlfestIDg itself IN aid given
to morality. education and religion. Not
forgetting the poor at home, it has extended
TO the emancipated race in our country
deserving as tney are needy-such AID as cor
responds with a charity that not only hopeth,
buI GOeth, all things.
Let u remember with unfeigned gratitude
that the year has been q fruitful one that
rIch harvest has crowned the tolls of the hu g.
0aLdnan +; that labor of all kinds has receIv-
IL a hitting reward and that We have been
permitted to 1--we In the midss of peaceful
communities and happy homes.
With our praise let miugle our humble
slpp!Ications that God vii. continue to be-
Stow upon US every needed good and espe-
aLlly that He Will give that wisdom and
grace which shall enable to discharge lie $
du,les " ell, and finally raise US from earth to
