It lias been my fortune, in another situation, to witness the effect they have produced on the character and consideration of our Government abroad, and ou the generous efforts of the friends of liberty in other parts of i world.

Sir, my heart lias swollen with a pride and exultation, which can be appreciated only by those who have felt them in a foreign "land, when I have heard my country the theme of every tongue, its institutions, with the glorious results of liberty and happiness they have produced, the subject of universal envy and admiration, rebuking, on the one hand, the glopmy spirit of a i a i on the other, the generous -aspirations offreedom.

Whathave they- bc'en at home In the midst of unexampled prosperity, aii.viety and alarm pervading every bosom--that sacred nion, iu-regavd to which we were taught by the father of our country to "discountenance whatever might suggest even a suspicion that it could, in any event, be openly questioned and decried, andjmillions trembling for its-fate.
