Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address of His Excellency William Claflin: To the Two Branches of the Legislature of Massachusetts, January 7, 1871
The people, in accordance with the Constitution and laws, have confided to your care the great interests of this honored Commonwealth for the coming year, so far as they are to be affected by legislative action, A gracious Providence has brought us together at a time when our State is signally favored in all those things which tend to elevate a people, and we should be ungrateful indeed, did we fail, on our assembling, to thank Him whose care has been so constant in the past, and to ask His continued blessing upon ourselves and the people we represent, in the future.
