 The name American, which be- longs to you, in your national capac- 1ty, must always exhalt the just pride of patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local dis criminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same re. ligion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumped together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint coun- sells, and joint efforts-of common dangers, sufferings and success"
