my fellow citizens, is the result tff free

stand by and defend our glorious temple

have fallen. we believe the republic of
America will endure forever. She has
been put to the seyerest test. No foreign

ever be inaugurated, and therefore we
reasonably conclude that our institutions
are safe from any attack, either at home
or from abroad. The spirit which ANNA
