“Among the moderns, how have the nations of Europe revolutionized and in what torrents of blood, for several years past, have her pleasantest fields been deluged. . . . God raised a Washington to lead our armies on to victory and triumph. When Independence was gained, it became necessary to secure it by the adoption of a constitution of federal government. The remarkable unanimity of its adoption—the general agreement respecting its superior excellency, and the happiness of the people in having two of the best characters in succession at the helm of government, manifest a kind superintending providence.” An attractive Thanksgiving discourse.
