look npon US now they would be amazed,
as well as justly proud of the trials and
sacrifices they had endured. He trusted
that railroad communication would soon
be open TO the Ohio, and that we might
have commercial and social visitation that
would make US prosperous and happy.
lie commended the visitors from Ken
lucky TO the hospitality OF the people of
this city and all the advantages which

He felt there was a harmony between
the two States. IL there were nothing else
TO create harmony, the great law Of matri-
mony would do IT, II there were no other
way, the young men and the young women
OF the two States would pull together, and
what God had joined together, let no man
put asunder. He hoped that the impress

at least intended to treat our guests with
hospitality.
Following Gov. Browns address came
the
RESPONSE OF MR.. MCPHERSON
Of Kentucky. He thanked the people Of
Tennessee for this cordial welcome, on be-
half Of the citizens of Kentucky. He had
heard in Kentucky Of the hospitality Of
the people of Tennessee, but had never be-

worth more than all the railroad taxes his
people had 10 pay in ten years He had
intended TO be born in Tennessee, but had
not been able TO arrange it in that way, and
had been born elsewhere. From this night,

Kentucky and Tennessee Twin sisters,
with one common interest, linked together

Ohio be soon Joined to the waters Of the

built, with the aid confidently ex-
pecied. The only question was, show soon."
Gov. Foote responded to the toast, "Wo-
