as citizens, owe to the commonwealth. We each have a duty to per- 

 form, and it is impossible to overestimate the influence that each 

 member of society may exert upon the future of this country. If as 

 farmers, as mechanics, as citizens, as Americans, we do our duty well, 

 the future is full of promise, not only to the present generation, but 

 to those who are to come after us. And unless our conscious strength 

 as a nation shall tempt us to some military excesses abroad, our 

 greatness, with the blessing of the great Author of all, is assured 

 beyond all peradventure. And this fair land, dedicated by our 

 fathers to liberty and freedom, will become so firmly affixed to the 

 soil, that it shall live for all times, and will continue to shine as a 

 beacon light to the whole world, showing that an intelligent people 

 are capable of self-government.
