with its maintenance as its best guaran
antee OF the confederated system Of oul
fathers. Does this seem improbable
Look at the ocean telegraph! at the
Pacific railroad at the Suez Canal, al
the delicate machinery which does act
ually supply the place Of the human
hands, and can almost think, and who
shall doubt that the Almighty has
touched with living fire the inventive
genius Of this age and subjugated to the
control Of daring and ,audacious man
the mysterious forces which fill earth,
sea and air. We live in deeds, not
years; in thoughts, not breaths; in
feelings, not in figures On the dial we
should count time by heart-throbs lie
most lives who thinks most, feels the
noblest and acts the best.
Gentlemen, it is your work to aid
this development TO set in motion those
agencies which shall tend to its
accomplishment. This is the Southern
Commercial Convention. Ohio was the
first fruit Of the munifcence of liberal,
patriotic, c,magnanimous Virginia, the old
est born Of the Northwest, the fairest Of
her sisters, conscious OF her matnred
and matronly beauty she looks with
loving pride upon their youthful bloom
and vigor, and in her name | bid you
a hearty welcome to Cincinnati, the
Queen City Of the West. She has been
throned by her industry and the bright
crown which sits forever upon her fair
fame is the sign and symbol of inielli-
gent and indomitable labor, and in her
name | again bid yoh welcome. Her
people are too sagacious to be fright
ened, too wise to beinstructcd, and large
enough TO take within their affections
every one Of their countrymen. Again
| bid you welcome, thrice welcome, to
their homes and their hearthstones.
