While Dwelling With Pleasing Satisfaction Upon The Superior Excellence Of Our Political Institutions, Let Us Not Be Unmindful That Liberty Is Power; That The Nation Blessed With The Largest Portion Of Liberty Must In Proportion To Its Numbers Be The Most Powerful Nation Upon Earth, And That The Tenure Of Power By Man Is, In The Moral Purposes Of His Creator, Upon Condition That It Shall Be Exercised To Ends Of Beneficence, To Improve The Condition Of Himself And His Fellow Men.

There Still Remains One Effort Of Magnanimity, One Sacrifice Of Prejudice And Passion, To Be Made By The Individuals Throughout The Nation Who Have Heretofore Followed The Standards Of Political Party. It Is That Of Discarding Every Remnant Of Rancor Against Each Other, Of Embracing As Countrymen And Friends, And Of Yielding To Talents And Virtue Alone That Confidence Which In Times Of Contention For Principle Was Bestowed Only Upon Those Who Bore The Badge Of Party Communion.

We Know The Redemption Must Come. The Time And The Manner Of Its Coming We Know Not: It May Come In Peace, Or It May Come In Blood; But Whether In Peace Or In Blood, Let It Come.
