We are here tonight at this silver we'd

paint pictures from recollection, rather than
solve problems. The great problem to
which many of those present gave their ear

ever since Kansas was admitted into the
sisterhood of states with a constitution for

so near its circumference that he felt its
momentum and caught its spirit. A stranger

fury OF the contest, to appreciate the depth
OF the tide of sublime sentiment that N AIDE

force of the current and the vigor of the
