Fellow citizens In the presence OF this vast
assen'blage Of my oountymen, am about To

and right Of selfgovernment they have com.
mitted TO one OF their fellow citizens supreme

self 10 their service, This impressive ceremony
adds little to the solemn sense OF responsibility
with which | contemplate the duty owe to
all the people OF the land. Nothing can &c.
lieve me from anxiety lest by any act OF mine
their interests may suffer, and nothing is needed
TO strengthen my resolution to engage every
faculty and effort in the promotion Of their
welfare. Amid party stnie the peoples choice

Of government by the people. In each sue

Democratic principle needs nj apology, and
tina, in its fearless and faithful application is to
be found the Sures, guarantee of good govern
ment. Blu, the hes, .esults in the operation Of a
government wherein every citizen has share
largely depend upon the proper limitation of
purely partisan real and effort, and correct ap.
