Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from Message of His Excellency, Richard Yates, Governor of Illinois, to the General Assembly: January 2, 1865

In delivering to you the last message which it devolves upon me, as the executive of the State, to communicate to the General Assembly, I feel it to be our first duty to render thanks to Almighty God for the continued protection and goodness of his Providence, for the abounding blessings with which he has favored us as a State, and for the continuance to us, unimpaired, the possession and enjoyment of our civil and religious liberty. For though a sad and waasting war has prevailed in the land, and thousands of homes and hearthstones have been made desolate, our government has been preserved to us, our nationality has been maintained unbroken, and our free institutions have come out of the shock of battle, not only not destroyed, or impaired, but stronger, and dearer to us than ever before. The storms of revolution, which have so rudely beat around the tree of liberty, have served only to deepen its roots and strengthen its trunk, and the people at home stand reassured with new and unfaltering confidence in our institutions, while foreign nationalities are forced to pay the tribute of involuntary respect to a people who, true to the memories and traditions of their fathers, and faithful to the sacred trust of liberty committed to their care, stand unappalled by the dark events of the gigantic war in which they have been engaged.

As a State, notwithstanding the war, we have prospered beyond all former precedents.
