vanages the welfare of the government Although II
might DO conceded that they had been very
fortunate. In all their enterprises, and had acquired
wealth. that acquisition was honorable In itself
because II strengthened tho government The
character OF the men engaged in the enterprise
that been under discussion was beyond any question
either here or elsewhere Those who engaged in
such enterprises IN the present day The class
OF who had been engaged in all the great enter
prises Of the country They had character which was
peculiar TO themselves co-exensive with the great en-
terprses Of the world and that would last as long as the
government should exist lie did not wish TO enter on
the merits OF the question that at issue yesterday
but he wished TO say that the gentlemen from the city of
Boston who were connected with that enterprise were
among the most honorable the most influential and tho
most public spirited ss well as the most wealthy men in
the country and If any persons were engaged In
measures tending TO dclude the people to swindie
the government they were no participants therein.

manufacturing interests for commercial industry in that

snd latierly to the construction of the railway

would be found that wherever New England men
nd been engaged IN these enterprises the first
object was TO strengthen the government and the second
Tor their personal advantage. But the capitalists
