The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1884-07-05


ism of the duty we have met to per-
form, with each advancing step guild
ed by the flash of inspiration over
the path to the fullest achievements
treasured in contemplation, then the
most sanguine hopes will not only
have reached fruition, but we will
have shown Just appreciation of the
warm and fulsOme greeting to the
inequalities of this community and
the labOrs of this convention.
May your deliberations be spared
one word or act to jar in their harmo-
MES or excite regretful ripple over
the surface of their peace; but may
you enjoy the appellatiOn of pecu-
liar people-peculiar by reason of a
worthy ambition and concurrent ac-
ton in founding among men prin-
ciples enriched by the devotion of
millions, and that will only cease to
live and diffuse their blessings over
the earth when the earth itself ceases
to resOund to the football Of an en-
lightened humanity. And may it be
a part of an AllWise decree that the
sweet lessons you have convened to
teach may not here be taught in vain,
but that even the cup of cold water
presented in the Masters name may
be permitted to drop and crystalize
into gems for the crown of the right,
there to shine as the stars forever.
