The war through which we have passed merely illustrated the deep devotion of the great mass of the American people to their Government and to our institutional life. It is true it revealed here and there a few festering spots and sordid influences. It also gave evidence of the fact that we had perhaps been too liberal in our Immigration laws and there had come to our shores too many who were not in sympathy with our Government and who had no purpose to become identified with the American people. They came as aliens and remained aliens. But. speaking generally. the American people exhibited a love for their country. a devotion to the letter and spirit of our Constitution. that argues well for the perpetuity of the Republic.
