I knew that I could not adequately express their deep sympathy in the supreme bereavement of Indiana. nor their grief at the great loss which the whole country had sustained. It is no common tie that binds together the people of these two States. The sons and daughters of North Carolina were among the earliest settlers of Indiana. and of all the States of the mighty West Indiana still presents the most attractive homes to the emigrants from North Carolina. There is scarcely a fireside in that beautiful State around which. I am told. some hallowed North Carolina association does not linger. and but few family circles in whose veins the blood of North Carolina fathers or mothers does not flow.
