3660. HARMONY, Inaugural address and.—

I am made very happy by learning that
the sentiments expressed in my inaugural address
gave general satisfaction, and holds out a
ground on which our fellow citizens can once
more unite. I am the more pleased, because
these sentiments have been, long and radically
mine, and therefore will be pursued honestly
and conscientiously.—
