deeper [Laughtcrl and he replied, with
q good deal OF Cforce, that the Creator

those things in nature and In human

love and affections of n people and
makes them bow in submission and
honor before the Constitution and the

most delightful, as ! pass through the

faces Of these kindly American citizens,
who have no interest in the government
except that 1t shall DO administered for
the general good, and who give their
hearts and are willing to give their lives
for the honor OF the flag and the per.
petuity Of our institutions. [Cheers.

CLAIMING A PENNSYLVANIA MATERNITY.
We have left for n few hours the duties
devolved upon us in Washington to
take part with our patriotic fellow citi.
zcns at Rochester in the observance oil
that day which has been consecrated to
the memory OF men who died that the
nation might live. | am glad to belicee
that there is not to be found anywhere
in this land. in any state, any American
citizen. whatever his relation TO that
great struggle may have been, who will
not sympathize with and cordially give
his interest to the annual observance.
You are citizens Of n great state. great
in every material resource, especially
great in q, combination OF products
which mako a people ~seli-contained
and complete. Perhaps no state in the
union combines more largely n pro-
ductive soil with mineral wealth rs tho
state Of Pennsylvania. [Applause.l
You have long held sway pre.eminontly
in some great lines OF manufactures,
and you arc happy in the possession Of
q most intelligent population. I would
not diminish in tho smallest degree the
pride which you feel i'll calling your
selves Pennsylvanians. I can, indeed,
in ar especial degree. en:er into this
feeling, for the mother l loved and
whose early loss | have never ceased to
mourn, was q Pennsylvania. ZAP.

And I yet feel that all these things
are subordinate to that greater interest
and that greater citizenship which you
share with tho citizens OF OF all tho
states. [Applause.l 1t is most happy
and auspicious time In our history
when the beneticicnt Influences OF time
and the kindly agencies OF the human
heart have go largely obliterated AMI
mosi,ics and p~reiudices and SO happily
united US as one people. Applause.

IONS and statesmen to tho great oppor-
tnnities which are before lis. | believe
that we are now entering upon O great
