Presidents Message.
INTRODUCTORY.
To tbs Senate and House If Representatives.:
On transmitting to you my
fourth annual message, it is with
thankfulness to the Giver of all
good that, as nation, we have
been blessed for the last year with
peace ut home and abroad, o and
general prosperity vouchsated to but
few people. With the exception of
the recent devastating fire which
swept from the earth with a breath,
as it were, millions of accumulated
wealth in the city of Boston, there
has been ne overshadowing calami-
ties within the year to record. 1t is
gratifying to n"to how like their fell
low-citizens of the city of ChEagO,
under similar circumstances, a year
earlier, the artisans OF Boston are raj
lying under their misfortune, and the
prospect is that their energy and per-
severance will overcome all obstacles,
and show the same prosperity soon
that they would had no disaster be-
fallen them. Otherwise we have been
free from pesriience, War and calami-
ties, which often oyertake nations;
and as far as human Judgment can
penetrate the future, no cause seems
to exist to threaten our present peace.
