Excerpt from The Rectitude of Government the Source of Its Power
Gentlemen of the Great and General Court:
Assembled here at the altar of God in the opening hour of your important duties, you will permit an humble citizen to congratulate you, who but yesterday stood among your fellow-citizens, upon the vast prerogatives committed to your hands. In the on-flowing of the stream of time, by the voice of this people, God has called you to be the government of Massachusetts for 1884. In some respects the most advanced Commonwealth in the entire galaxy of states, Massachusetts properly calls upon her most distinguished citizens to administer her affairs. It is a proud privilege, on general grounds, to be commissioned to preside over her varied interests, to conserve her good name in all things in which she merits it, and by a course of unquestionable patriotism win for her honors in fields she either has not entered, or has but timidly explored.
