102 reflect upon, and faithfully perform the duties Heaven has allotted us—to improve to every possible extent the trust which has been confided to our care. Nations as well as individuals have missions to fulfill; and if, through design, or through heedlessness, they fail to pursue them, they may look for the righteous indignation of the Ruler above, who will hold them to a stern and fearful account¬ ability—well remembering that whatever we may do here in Wisconsin for her glory and her good, will help to swell, also, the happiness and glory of the whole Union; while the errors we may commit, or the evils we may let loose among ourselves, will be mainly ours in all the injuries or disgraces they may occasion. Finally, fellow- countrymen, let me tell you America is a country over¬ flowing with prosperity and happiness—one which knows not the meaning of internal tumult—one of which most of her citizens, with scarcely an exception, can command the necessaries of life; meat, drink, clothing and shelter from the elements in abundance—where her Members of Congress are elected by universal suffrage—where neither game laws nor tithes exist—and where the Chief Magis¬ trate lives with dignity on an income of £5000 per annum.
