FOURTH OF JULY ADVICE
BY WASHINGTON.

lin his address to the governors OF
the states. June s, 1888.
There are four things which I
humbly conceive are essential to
the we'll beine-i may even ven-
ture to say to the existence-of
the United States as an indie
pendent power:
First, an indssoIubIe union
of the states under one federal
head.
Secondly, a sacred regard to
public justice.
Thirdly, the adoption of a
proper peace establishment, and.
Fourthly, the prevalence Of
that pacific and friendly DISPOSE
ton among the people Of the
United States which will induce
them to forget their local preju-
dices and policies, to make those
mutual concessions which are
requisite to the general prosper
ity and in some instances to
sacrifice their individual advan-
tsges to the interest Of the COM
munity.
