Questiona of grave import, both State aud National, awalt your deliberation. The auspicious circnmstances ‘which attend youg meeting will cheer you in commencing the worl before you; they will impart strength and unity to your counsels, and will confirm, by the authority of the publie judgment, such action a8 you may take toward the settlement of our Natfonal difficulties, on the suro foundation of Justice, The people look with undoubting confidenco to you,as their representatives, to give ex- pression to their ascertained will; and they rely on your wisdom and fidelity for such salutary and wholesomo lawe as #hall advance our gencral welfare. The year that has Just elosed has been charged with great events, and has been rich in its blessings of peace, andin its rewards to mdustry. We have occasion for mutual congratulation on the progress of almost cvery interest of the people, and the promise of yet greater achievements in the future, to bo wrought out througha firm adlierence to our traditional policy, and to those fundamental truths upon which our system of govern- ment depends, We emerged from the stormy night of war, to enter uj @ hard| { Jess trying period of political confiiet; and n Jssing Uiroughs edch of tieso ordeals, thero his been developed on the part of the people, o steadfastness of purpose, a depth of patriotism, and an enlightencd appreciation of the prineipies of civil liberty, hich not only atitest the. beneficent influenco and form of government, but also give assur- ance of its risig greatness and perpetaity, Through the ®ey process of our uational trials, in both field and forum, the American Union has been subjected to a test more sovere than ai hich it can hereafter he exposed ; and ey wee has demonstrated that its co- eston and strength depend, noton the pleasure or caprico of tndividnal States, o of geographical sections, but on thie collective will of the people. That will lins been de- clared in_the forms prescribed by the Constitution. It has hoen main A in war, It has been reassorted by the representatives of the People and of the States. 1t has ibed its own guarantees for the fatare, and confirined those guarantees by the reaf- firmance at the polls of the popular will. There i8 noloyal wan who has not a_clear and abiding confidenco in the perpetuily of a government thus sustained, in peace as in war, by the sovercign power of the People.
