beholdiDg the uuveiing of Jackson's statue,

whole duty at the polls at the approaching cleo

memory OF jackson to burn incense at his

act of patriotic devotion to permit Virginia, for
which he fought and died, to fall into the
hands of her political enemies.

liberty have been maintained, pence has reigned
within our borders, labor and enterprise hsy,,

Watchtul providence we are indebted for security
from pestlcnce and other national calamity
Apart from national blessings each individual

ton which he has enjoyed.

leave, Governor kempcr advanced on the plat.

the gally uniformed cadets, who are working to
emulate his virtues and bravery, O shout as
from one throat arose, which was taken up as
1t rolled along, and reaching the crowd outside
OF the Square, was swecd and repeated again

Before the speaking was begun five of the

caught glimpse Of the face of the wife of their
