Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Have not these facts taught us about our manhood and our national character? We feel now, as this generation has never felt before, the vital force of patriotic principle, and the solemn obligation of patriotic duty. Do we not feel this new meaning of the word patriotism tingling from our central heart to every extremity? Our soldiers and sailors have taught us this, and are they not our permanent bene factors? They have brought to light this new nation in our midst.
