1035. CABINET, Harmonious.—

Our Administration
now drawing towards a close, I
have a sublime pleasure in believing it will be
distinguished as much by having placed itself
above all the passions which could disturb its
harmony, as by the great operations by which
it will have advanced the well-being of the nation.—
