We have now what our forefathers struggled
for-the unity of Germany, aud the security oil her
frontiers. Our conviction OF a inture unity was
yelled. but the eveT-prcsent enthusiasm OF our peo-

spirit animatihg Germany p~ervades her culture
and morals aud Constitution. Her armies will
guard against the abuses Of her acquired power.

the Empire. The just claims of the expenses Of
the war will be laid before you as soon as possible.
The position Of the recovered territory renders
