No Union Exists Between Church And State,

I Cannot, Whilst President Of The United States, Descend To Enter Into A Newspaper Controversy.

The Gratitude ... Should Be Commensurate With The Boundless Blessings Which We Enjoy.

It Is Confidently Believed That Our System May Be Safely Extended To The Utmost Bounds Of Our Territorial Limits.

Under The Blessings Of Divine Providence... It Becomes Us, In Humility, To Make Our Devout Acknowledgments To The Supreme Ruler Of The Universe, For The Inestimable Civil And Religious Blessings With Which We Are Favored.

Under The Benignant Providence Of Almighty God The Representatives Of The States And Of The People Are Again Brought Together To Deliberate For The Public Good.
