FellolO Citizens Of the Senate and House
Of Representatives:
Our heartfelt gratitude is due to the
Divine being, who holds in His hands
the destinies of nations, for the con-
tinued bestowal, during the last year,
Of countless blessings upon our country.
We are at peace with all other na-
tions. Our public credit has greatly
improved, and ia, perhaps, now strOns :
er than ever before. Abundant har-
vests have rewarded the labors of those
who till the soil, our manufacturing
industries are reviviug, and it Is be-
lieved that general prosperity, which
has been so long looked for, is at last
within our reach.

If it now disgraces its record and indorses

its voters will leave it by thousands. It's
days numbered, it will die a deserved and
unhonOred death.
