representations of what / felt sure was
the sentiment of the rank and file OF
those Americans born on the other side

riched America by giving her their,
talent and their work and their al
legiance.

an opportunity of expressing my un-

citizens. like yourselves. who have
identified themselves in heart as well
as in fortune with this great country
which is SO dear to all of us. which is
compounded of all of us and which
does not belong to any one section or

which ought to obtain amongst all
