AS Burke, the great Irish statesman
and philosopher, finely said, "Flattery is
not friendship, and to mislead is not to
serve"
The line of my public service to which
our friend, DIR. Bush, has so kindly al
luded, has been in assisting to carry on
the National Government of the grand
Union of States, among whom so con-
tentedly and securely our little common
wealth Is anchored fast. rlf
Whenever have spoken or voted in
the Senate for new and stronger ties of
union between the sections or the States,
have not echoed the voice of Delaware?
When schemes of financial unwisdom.

money and vicious currency were pro-
posed, and | stood in uncompromisiug
attitude demanding "hon sst dollars for
honest men," did not echo the voice of

| Aud when plead for an indissoluble
| Union of understandable and coegual
States, do not sreak in the voice of

And when shall prove faithless to
such thingS; when the welfare and the
happiness of the whole country and of
every State shall be shrunk into mar

j., Truly we are favored people, and in
the full Tide of that prosperity that
seems fairly to have set in. let us, while
aVallng ourselves of 1t, keep sharp
eye upon the dangers of over-trading
