This is the peculiarity of our Englishspeaking race. and this the work we Americans are specially called to do. Our ancestors began this work on the coast of the Atlantic. Their sons pushed into the interior. their grandsons climbed the Appalachian range and turned their faces to the setting sun. and so the advancing emigrationcrossed the Mississippi. conquered the continent to the shores of the Pacific. and found no cessation in the work of State building. Farmers as well as lawyers. mechanics and preachers. the sons of toil and the alumni of universities. on terms of absolute equality. accomplished the marvelous labors which have made us a nation of thirtyeight States. In such labors men broaden. grow. develope.
