    惟夫吾侪众聚，成祚命之礼，咸睹宪法刚严，习践民主之诺也。是故申之曰：国之所立，庶非肤色，抑所皈依，遑论宗嗣。为美利坚而以别他者，二百年之宣言也：

    大道显然，曰：生民平等，其命授于天者，全其身，张其志，谋其祉也，讵可擅夺。

    而今吾辈继前贤之迹，行宣言之教于当世。维虑道显而不自达，虽由天赐，孰言易与，非奋搏之不可得也。创国之初，赤心报国之士，非举权贵勋旧享国祚，而缔以共和，明其宗曰：民有、民治、民享。后，子孙秉承法理，道统不绝。

    斯历两百余载，无有逾矩也。

    鞭笞割锐，血衅刑施，而后知自由平等之国，不可蓄奴兼行焉。终浴火涅槃，振翅翱宇。

    其所政者，路路以利商贾，以便行者，庠序以育贤达，以巧百工。

    其所知者，法布周备，陟罚无偏，使胜心不坠，商所以兴也。

    其所识者，冀国之治也，必思其民，使老弱得扶，危难有庇。

    虽然，吾辈未尝稍弃权集庙堂之忧也。是故，不惟庙堂，持以本心，尚巧思，崇商道，惟勤勉以任事。

    与时俱进，卿所周知矣。持道以诚，虽事发百端，以百法合之，可也。夫举众志以全自由。使国民独临世险，无异执拙钝而抗强暴也。一人难治百科以教孺子，匹夫奚兴万业以振家邦。当此时者，尤冀万民同舟共济，无作壁上观。

    吾辈临危履难，心愈毅而志愈坚。今十载狼烟且熄，经济行转时序。当世寰宇为一，而国具其质,是善兆焉：海纳百川，君子乾乾。有临危决断之勇力，鼎新展翼之赋禀。我曹所以生者，为此时也，啐啄同机，时不可逝哉。

    国人知之，国之治也，不可寡富而众贫。国之所昌，决于恒产者也，决于乐其业者也，决于躬作而脱贫者也。使一寒门女弱，亦可致富贵，而无独别于他者，其享自由平等，非惟识于天，抑亦识于万民，方可谓不违立国之道也。

    庙堂陈筹，不合时宜，众所知矣。故须开新风，行新策，更税法，革学弊。予民新技，以利其勤勉，多其学识，以达博远。虽辟径而行，其的如一。褒坚毅励行之士，乃当务之急也，亦国兴之本欤！

    安保其身，尊明其人，生民须得以有也，此我国人犹笃信之。降医保，削赤字，虽两难而必权取之！老老幼幼，并行兼施，前车不远，殷鉴犹在：老暮困顿，残疾幼稚哀于寒家，固非所期也。自由非以幸至，福泽岂可寡分。吾知殚精竭虑，亦有不足恃，困苦疾难，日或加身。惟以医保社保，扶危济困，诺若磐如，使民无后顾之忧，慵懒不生，而奋其勇也。如此，国可兴矣。

    吾曹之诺，岂徒谋己哉？犹为子孙谋也。气候危征，须以应之，勿使贻祸后世。或以科学判析，未足信孚。抑观夫狂火噬野，酷旱焦然，飓风愈烈，苟无所动焉？固知时艰不易，讵能涸泽而渔？世事日新，旧不宜循，务以导之。可使民有新业，国掌枢机，岂能委之他邦哉。至如田、林、山、水，国之大宝，是以足民本，增仓禀之途也。斯安世之道，天降其任，亦为先贤故理之新诠也。

    至若非兴干戈无以图和平者，吾不信也。我百炼精钢之师，威名无二。缅先烈之牺牲，怜自由之不易。战事不忘，惕之不懈。亦不辍干戈化玉帛者也。斯以为训，冀使昭彰。

    缮甲兵以护国卫道，筹纵横而旌显智勇。其不知危耶？行伐谋之道而怖惧不生也。匡盟天下以为制，应莫测不虞之变。吾国称雄寰球，而亟求和平，非他邦可及也。亚、非、拉、中东，吾援以民主之道，予自由于其人，此利与义俱促焉。兼以广善博施，敬而不辱，正而不倚，宽而不苛，运而不专，非惟善念之所驱，抑亦仁政之大同也。

    人皆生而平等，天下之达道也。譬如北辰，引航而进，识之不歧。或曰：不可孤行焉。金言：自由不专于一人，惟天下人与之共哉！

    吾侪承先贤创业之志，力使生民平等。苟有母亲妻女酬不符劳者，吾侪之业未竟；苟有磨镜留桃有不齿乎正色者，吾侪之业未竟；苟有遗天下之民跂望数时，不可得而投其票者，吾侪之业未竟；此有良禽，奋信希远，视我为嘉木，迎之不恭，吾侪之业未竟；此有生员、匠作，巧技聪哲，未获采纳而逐之域外，吾侪之业未竟；自底特律至阿巴拉契亚，至纽顿，使孺子未蒙幼幼，不得安护，吾侪之业未竟也。

    全其身，张其志，谋其祉，此大矣哉！何以赋此予我国民？曰：此吾侪之责也。未必诸事求同，解悟自由如是，求取福祉亦如是。欲国之治，岂可废百年政府因用之辩？时我待者，惟行而已。

    当断则断，莫承其患。孤刚非毅也，媚众不足以为政也，相攻互讦非辩之道也。或问：然则如何？曰：且行之矣，何求尽善尽宜哉？且行之，何求毕功于一役哉？光费城大道者，惟薪火是承，四、十、百年后，其未可知也。

    今我誓于此者，非为党为私，是誓于上天与国耳，其与国会山先贤无异。今幸暂摄大位，必谨守我誓。此誓与兵甲受命之誓无异，与移民践梦之誓无异，与星条旗下，我辈壮怀激烈之誓无异也。

    此夫国民之心声，我辈之大冀也。曰：

    吾之国民，有共谋国是之权。

    吾之国民，有震当世大音之责。其何以恃？曰：选票与卫道之呼鸣也。

    吾之权利，生与之俱。庄穆以待，乐极而欢，意气奋发，戮力同心。虽后世不可知，必以自由也。薪火不灭，不负青史铁笔。

    唯唯，愿神佑诸君，神佑美利坚。
