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.
With slight shades of difference, you have the
same religion, manners, habits and political principles.
You have in common cause fought and triumphed
together.
The independence and liberty you possess are the
work of joint councils and joint efforts, of common dangers,
sufferings, and successes. |
