no less than as To the proper course to
be pursued in solving the question iii
controversy. is an occasion Tor general
rejoicing. Upon one point there is
entire unanimity in the public senti-
ment-that the conflicting claims to
the presidency must be amieably
and peaceably adjusted, and that
when so adjusted the general acquies
cence of the nation ought surely to
follow.
1t has been reserved for a govern.
ment of the people, where the right
of suffrage is universal, to give TO the
world the first example in history
of a great nation, in the midst of a
struggle of opposing parties for power,
hushIng its party tumults to yield the
issue OF the contest TO adjustment ac-
cording TO the forms of law.
Looking for the guidance of that
divine hand by which the destinies OF
nations and individuals are shaped,
call upon you, Senators, Representa-
lives, Judges, fellow citizens, here and
everywhere, TO unite with me in an
earnest effort 10 secure TO our country
the blessings not only of material
prosperity, but of justice peace and
Union-a Union depending not upon
the contestants of force but upon the
loving devotion of a free people-thai
all things may be so ordered and set
tied upon the best and surest founda

and Justice, religion and piety, may
be established among us for all genera
