Ohio: The second Mother of Presidents. Vermont: A State of rocks, but producing men, women, maple sugar, and horses. "The first are strong, the last are fleet, The second and third are exceedingly sweet, And all are uncommonly hard to beat." Texas: The biggest of States, and one of the very best. New York: Unrivalled if numbers in city and State be the test. Our Navy: May it always be as anxious to preserve peace as to uphold the honor of the flag in war. Our Army: May it ever be very small in peace, but grow to mighty dimensions and mightier achievement in war. Our Country: May the form of liberty never be used to subvert the principles of true freedom. Our Voters: May they always have a standard to try their rulers by, and be quick to punish or reward justly. Fortune: A divinity to fools, a helper to wise men. The Present: Anticipation may be very agreeable but participation is more practical. |
