熱門章節

第 288 頁 - Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of AMERICAN, which belongs to you in your National capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.

Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend.
