greater cities, and many of the advan'
tages which these give, but when oui

reached the ago of Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, it will surpass either
in wealth, general intelligence, number
and liberality of public institutions, ell
terprise of its citizens, and will support

distinguished for its glorious record in
peace and war, and whose fame has
reached every part of the Union"
