Subsequently, they discovered an otd

it was seven feet in dimneter, rtnd the

from nothing but a sense of duty, for
the restoration of the tlnion, harmony
and prosperity under the Constitution.

of that assemblage. God, in
his mercy and wisdom, however, only
knows what is to be the future of this
country. The deetiny of Stales, ns well

that we poor mortals can do, is to discharge
our duty aa well as we can, from
