Providence have given way to confidence
and energy and assured prosperity. Peace
with all nations has remained unbrOken;
domestic tranquility has prevailed, and
The institution of liberty and justice which
the wisdom and virtue of our fathers
established remain-a glory and defense to
their children. The general prevalence OF
the blessing of health throughout our
ride land has made more conspicuous the
suGerings and sorrows which the dark
shadow Of pes:ilence hiss cast upon o
portion Of our people. This heavy afiiic-
lion even the divine ruler hss tempered to
the suffering communities In the universal
sympathy and succor which have flowed
