6 Our commercial interests which at that time consisted of a few vessels only and confined to the Mother Country generally has since extended herself over the whole known world, and that flag the stars and stripes has waived to the breeze of every sea, and the canvass of our vessels has whitened every ocean, Our manufacturing interests which were at that time but few and confined to cloths of the coarsest texture, are now able to cope with the world, Many of our mechanical machines have taken the premium at the agriculture fairs even in Erope, In short the whole world is at this time employing the brain, the skill and the genius of many of our northern citezens in the way and use of their modern pattented invensions. populous towns and villages have sprung up in these united states without a parallel in the history of the world, The brain of a Fulton has made even the elements subservient to us in his invention of the power of the steam which propel our machinaries and glide our vessels across the ocean, The genius of a Morse who invented the telegraph, has brought even the East and the west, the North and the South of these united States within talking distance of each other, literary institutions, printing presses, newspapers, magazines, and every other means of diffusing useful knowledge has been established almost beyond enumeration
