inmane any exi expressions yea slid and marks of sich havo 7 met mei me on all sides ai as i I 1 canie came through tho the taic of jets it itis ia a pleasant thing th 1119 to to see sec that after the convulsions of a civil war and after the almost equally allt terrific convulsion jofs of a reaming peace that th ereis 0 8 exi expended extended ended b by y thac people of massachusetts to a man who has had upon him response es from abich if he abre to forsee forse them etheri his every thought would have lit 1 ve dictated that he ha should seek to escape from them three cheers for general sheridan were given it afe ta j point P I 1 am here with tho the president of the united states in Massa massachusetts chusett B I 1 must be allowed ito to express to you the satisfaction which I 1 enjoy in the reception which you have extended to him I 1 was with him a fortnight ago in his native state of north carolina pies cries of three cheers for north carolina 11 you may well give three calliera for the state of north carolina she was wae the first state to put forth a declaration of independence in the revolution against great britain you may well give three cheers for north carolina she was the state of the ekum who dodeci who arvut ader most r reluctantly out of the union you may well give three cheers for norah carolina she was the first of the eleven who seceded to come back H again gam to the fireside of the union and today to day nothing is ia wanting for her to I 1 her ancient honorable and moist moat patriotic position in the family of theRe publio but the consent of the people now I 1 know that avat all thatis about is coming about abott very e ry soon I 1 have se seen on the earth a and 7 nd the skies ekies full of the elements of fertility of health and of vigor and 1 I 1 saw in north carolina the cotton spring up which is to supply next year the mills of massachusetts I 1 have seen in now new york the wheat growing that is to supply the west indies and the southern states I 1 know that nature designs that this whole continent 1 not merely these thirty six states but this thia whole continent should be sooner or of the american union the people of north carolina and georgia may try to get out s much as they please and you here in massachusetts may try to kep keep p them out as much ahyou please god goa and nature have decided against both and you are to live together OB as brothers in in unity and harmony nowa I 1 told you that I 1 was peculiarly gratified with the reception that you gave the president of the united states to today day now nov let us say one word for your iseri serious oua reflection on that subject almighty god has haa revealed to men or allowed them to conceive of no safe or permanent government overn te in which there shall not be one executive head bead that lie head ad must e exist vis t in the government overn ment whether it is a king or an emperor or a president there are but two ways in which an executive baa headman batacan acan be procured for a nation one is is by birth hereditary and the other i is by election fabree three cheers for our president by elections election but nations Ih have aveleen beau unwilling to submit to lo a 1 biti kiti king or an emperor and therefore before he e is born the sword is hi prepared which is to be put into his hands with which he shall be able to compel their consent during his hia natural life on the other hand a republic elects a president and they take security against his abuse or exercise of power by stipulating that he ahall be president for but four years years and having made that stipulation they agree that he shall havo have no abord in his hand to keep keel him in n the possession of the power they have in trusted to him but that they by their ow own n confente conf cent will acquiesce and sus sustain t ain him for the pe pc i of four years and no longer when they cin can turn him out and put in 9 successor that they elect now if you ar arc 13 going boink to have a president as a president is a nece necessity cesily ne sity and for four years yeara how are you to get him you are to agree that the aj majority arity of thy the people of the states shall elect id liim M t there thee is no other way but must acques ce in during the t of and that the minority concur i that the majority has mado for fout years and no longer only a wre to I 1 that ono one simple principle and this tc bublic will last forever this 1 j lie c can never perish bitou have a dent tai at iv S ith outtie out employment the of military forca will sustain for faur yerra at a time and no longer but what have we peen jaent we have seen thia republic on the very brink of death and dissolution and why because ten states of akia union refused to submit to the president that was chosen b by y the majority of the other states S six epars ago and what diacou did you do them to submit you compelled compel led them to now kow have ave another president for four years and two of tho those years are arc gone good p good baj W when ion those other two years year s baal gone gane at F president do you not expect thattie that the i minority who voto against that president will acquiesce in his holding the executive power for the four years for which lie he is to be elected why because minority must acquiesce or your nation is to be abandoned to ruin for secession then all there is we wb have just juat got to learn leam one s simple habit babii ali that it of acquiescing in tho the choice ahat we ulve ourselves a made of our president for four years and then in in the expiration of that time improving upon the last choice by making as much better one as we havethe bava havet th hg e success and wisdom to do there is the solution of all our troubled it is all in that the south has been taught that it must submit to the resident president when lie he is chosen b by y the north and the north must now show that it will vil submit bub in aitto to the president that they choute chouto or ip is chosen for them thein by the majority 0 of f the american people give me only this one assurance that shall 11 never be an unlawful resi stai T y an all ari armed noa fco f co to tho ent oe ar Aring n the authority of the TL TJ itea states M and gi gian ve me then fifty forty years of life and I 1 will engage to give i you the possession of

the continuance odthe of the existence of this union through half the period which we have carried it through with the cost of greatest civil war the world has ever seen tile the moral ofay of my
