he could not deny himself the pleasure
of greeting the large body of friends
before him. Our government was in
stituted by wise men-men of broad
views. 1t was based ON the idea of the
equal rights of men. 1t absolutely re-
jects the idea of class distinction, and
insists that men should be Judged by
their behavior; that is good rule.
Those who are law-abiding and we'll
disposed-those who pursue their voca-
tions lawfully and with respect to the
rights of others - are true American
citizens.

president, "that the love of our institu-

carried amid the smoke of battle-is in
the hands of such children"

to think of their families, of themselves,

but are spiritual. l desire to express
my sincere, earnest and hearty thanks
to you all for your kindness,
giving you in return simply a
pledge that l will in all things keep
in mind what seems to me to be the
true interests of our people. 1 have no
thought of sections; / have no thought
upon any Of these great public questions
that does not embrace the rights and
interests of all our people and all our
states. / believe we shall find COM
mon interest and safe ground upon all
these great questions, and by moderat-
ing our own views and making reason
able and just concessions, we shall find
them all settled wisely and in the IN
terests of the people,"
