age that emanates from q righteous
cause with the confidence Of men ami
mated by noble purposes and lofty

The hope is not too extravagant for

Purpose of the Government.

The government Of the United States
was organized solely for the people
OF the United States. While II was
contemplated that this country should
become a refuge for the oppressed OF
every land, who might be mt to dis
charge the duties of our citizenship,
ard while we have always sympathized
with the people Of every nation In
their struggles for self-government,
the government was not created for a
career of political or civtltztnE evan
yelization in foreign countries or
among alien races The most efficient
work we can do in uplifting the people
Of other countries is by the presenta-
ton of a happy, prosperous, selt-goF-
erning nation as an ideal to be emu
lated, q model to be followed. The
general occupation Of our citizens in
the arts Of peace or the absence OF
large military ornaments, tends 10 I'M

with the exception Of the war with
Mexico, this country had been at peace,

thinks that the nation had grown ef-
Terminate during that period should
read the casualty rolls Of the armies
on either side at Shiloh. Antietam,

Stone river and Chickamauga- I would
be the last man to pluck a single lau-

military heroes to whom this country
owes so much. but insist that their
most heroic deeds proceeded infinitely
more from devotion to the country than
from martial spirit.
