God Bless The Union; -

All The Distinctive Features And Superiority Of Our Republican Institutions Are Derived From The Teachings Of Scripture.

And What I Should Do, By The Grace Of God, I Will Do.

This Glorious Union Shall Not Perish! Precious Legacy Of Our Fathers, It Shall Go Down Honored And Cherished To Our Children. Generations Unborn Shall Enjoy Its Privileges As We Have Done; And If We Leave Them Poor In All Besides, We Will Transmit To Them The Boundless Wealth Of Its Blessings!

In Italy, On The Breaking Up Of The Roman Empire, Society Might Be Said To Be Resolved Into Its Original Elements, - Into Hostile Atoms, Whose Only Movement Was That Of Mutual Repulsion.

I Feel, As Never Before, How Justly, From The Dawn Of History To The Present Time, Men Have Paid The Homage Of Their Gratitude And Admiration To The Memory Of Those Who Nobly Sacrifice Their Lives, That Their Fellow-men May Live In Safety And In Honor.
