MR.. ADAMS ADDRESS.
We gather once more In our old haunts so long
consecrated co the arts Of peace All around US
we note the evidence of constant expansion going
on during two centuries and half OF unceasing
labor to multiply facilities for developing the SOW
planted in our race. In this long interval have
come hitler the patient seekers after wis

It is needless at this day TO recapitulate the cir
cumstances under which our brethren long ago
entered INTO the two carrier struggles We are NOS

without 1t the record OF their selldevotton Is as
sacredly preserved in our hearts. Neither do be-

the happiness OF mankind. 1t Ii NO part OF my
purpose 10 enter upon an examination or the
merits OF this conntct Enough for the immediate
occasion to say that the difference had Its remote
origin in practice commenced In barbarous
times, which no one IN the present day VIII be
found likely to defend, for the inception OF which
in America neither side was responsible. What
wish TO afiirm apropos to the present occasion, is
and l do It from sincere conviction founded upon
some means of observation, that down to the
very moment of breaking out Of hostilities
there had been at no time and nowhere
any spirit OF enmity engendered between
those who ultimately fought with each other
