Vice President Sherman said:
"The dream of the northwest pass
age brought Hudson hither and led
him to perish on the northern bay

find the way to the orient, but by his
discovery commerce has been created,
wealth developed and splendor exhib-
tied beyond his most golden dreams,
while civilization received profit be-
yond all he desired from the short
route between Europe and the Indies.
THE north star governed the
whole career of Hudson. His far

pole, and the planting of our flag
there by an American---it matters not

goal. Old Glory floats at the extreme
north, because Hudson gave this river
