JOHN TYLER, DEC. 1843, 3RD ANNUAL MESSAGE:
If any people ever had cause to render up thanks to the Supreme
Being for parental care and protection extended to them in all the trials
and difficulties to which they have been from time to time exposed,
we certainly are that people.
From the first settlement of our forefathers on the continent,
through the dangers attendant upon the occupation of a savage
wilderness, through a long period of colonial dependence, through the
War of the Revolution, in the wisdom which led to the adoption of
the existing forms of republican government...the superintendence of
an overruling Providence has been plainly visible.
As preparatory, therefore, to entering once more upon the high duties of
legislation, it becomes us humbly to acknowledge our dependence upon Him
as our guide and protector and to implore a continuance of His parental
watchfulness over our beloved country.
