3661. HARMONY, Inaugural address and.—[continued].
It is with the greatest
satisfaction I learn from all quarters that my
inaugural address is considered as holding out
a ground for conciliation and union. I am
the more pleased with this, because the
opinion therein stated as to the real ground of
difference among us (to wit: the measures
rendered most expedient by the French
enormities), is that which I have long entertained.—
