without breaking down our PROTECTIVE
tariff or seriously injurlng any domesti,

and all other public officers having any
duty connected Herewith will DO ex'

fully and without evasion.
Our citizens, demociled for the pur.
pose OF trade in all countries and Oh
many OF the islands OF the sea, demand
and will have our adequate care in their
personal and commercial rights,
II our great corporations would more
scrupulously observe their legal limita'

Honorable party service will certainly
not be esteemed by me- disqualification
for public office, but II will Ia no case be
allowed to serve rs u shield for official
negligence, incompetency or delin.

We shall neither fail 10 respect the
flag OF my friendly nation or the Just
rights Of It's citizens nor to exact a like
treatment for our own. Calmness, jus.
tiCe, and consideration should charaC-
tcrize our diplomacy.
Let US cxalt patriotism and moderate

would die for the flag OF battle give bet

glory to their country by promoting fra
ternity and justice.
Tho mill fires were lighted at the
funeral pile Of slavery. The emanCipa-
ton proclamation was heard in the
depths Of the earth rs well rs In the sky.

II the question Of tariff became In any
sense or At any time sectional 1t was only
because slavery existed in some Of the
States. But orthis there was no reason
why the Cotton.produCing States should
not have led or walked abreast with the
New England States in the production Of
cotton fabrics.
And when tho harvests from the fields,
the cattle from tho hills, and the ores OF
the earth shall have been weighed,
counted and valued We will turn from
them all to crown with the highest honor
the State that has most promoted eduCa-
ton, virtue, justice and patriotism
among It's people.
There arc many ways in which the
convenience and comfort OF those who
have business with our public officers
may be promoted by thoughtful and
obliging officers, and shall expect those
whom may appoint to Justify their So
lection by conspicuous efficiency in the
discharge OF their duties.
We should not cease to DO hospitable
to immigration, but We should cease 10
be careless as TO the character Of 1t.
There arc men OF all races, even the
best, whose coming is necessarily q bur
den upon our public revenues or a
threat to social order. These should be
identified and excluded.
The people OF all Congressional dis.
