FELLOW CITIZENS OF WORCESTER: |
need not say to you that this is great re-
ception and very gratifying to US, The
government of the United States is of 10
terest to all of you and it is because of
your interest IN that government that you
have turned out as you have in such vast
numbers to welcome those to whose charge
the administration of this government has
been committed We understand perfectly
well that this is no personal compliment to
us; you entertain very decided opinions
as to the course the government shall
pursue; as to who shall administer 1t,
there is wide diversity of opinion as to
the precise measures of the government; :;
but there are few things | have acquired
the habit OF saying since our trip through
New England began upon, which the
whole people OF the United States sub
staDtially agreed. (Cheersl. We are
agreed that hereafter, and for all the time,
the territory of the United States, en-
bracing as it does the hsst part of this con-
tlnent, extending from the torrid zone on
the south to the frigid zone on the north,
from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific on
the west, is forever hereafter to belong to
one nation, and to one nation only. We
are all agreed that all states Of the union
shall haYe equal rights, that every state is
equal to each other. that the citizens of
the United States, black or white, native
born or naturaliZed, capitalists or laborers,
shall have equal rights before the law, and
all over the government by the people shall
continue to be forever supreme over all.
These are general ideas entertained about
our government, There are differences as
to methods and whatever errors may be
made you will remember that it is ouI
purpose honestly to pursue course IL
support of the propositions | have offered
you, and now, having already spoken toC
| long, | must give way to one who, though
be has not always been with us. but in sup
port of the ideas | haye given you. is as
sound as you and |. 1 now have the
