Scale, and for so long a period, of a free government, would seem to demand an uncommon manifestation of the nation, on the happy event 'of completing our first one hundred years; and that to-day our Union is perfect and complete, with not a single star blotted out from our banner, and many more added to the original thirteen, standing to-day stronger and more immovable than ever.
