The friends of America throughout the world; may our mutual interest rivet the bonds of perpetual amity.

The memory of Columbus, and our adventurous fore-fathers who first planted the standard of freedom on the shores of North-America.

May religion, science, the arts, peace and liberty, extend their happy influence to our brethren, the Aborigines of America.

The immortal spirits of the brave warriors who fell in defense of America.

The American fair; may beauty and love reward the brave and the free.

Long corns and short shoes to the enemies of America.

May our virtues be rather the effects of religion than the gifts of nature.
