doubtedly you received such letter. This

temporary exile in foreign ports shall
now and then see steaming into these
distant ports fine modern man-of-War,
flying the United States flag, with the
best modern guns on deck and a brave
American crew on the forecastle. Iwant,

rouse themselves to compete with the
older manufacturing States, North and
East.

States and all my countrymen. l do not
think oft as a question of party; think
OF it as a great American question.

or impropriety. Cries of mo, no." and
great cheers.] / would not on an occa-
