It was, therefore, that the authors of our system made patriotic sacrilices for the sake of the greater good of preserving American freedom and manhood. So great have been the changes in the working of our institu- tions under the late Administration, so strong the tendencies to imperialism, that they have been commented upon by English statesmen, and regarded as conclusive proof that our Republic has already faded away as a thing of the ])ast, and that we are henceforth to be controlled by an ...absolute Government. Now, sir, it will be the fault and folly of our people, if they permit the flagrant abuse of legitimate powers, which character- ized the last Admihistration, to settle into established practice and permanent change of Government. Yet are the facts upon which I have commented sufficient to excite the deep concern of every one who loves his country and desires the perpetuity of her institutions. The war between sections in this country having closed, let us hope forever, it is our })art now to maintain our national tradi- tions, and seek the unmolested fulfillment of our mission.
