MEETING IN THE PARK.
About year ago the following sentiment appeared in
The Tribune, from the pen Of H. l.. SPENCER
1--WE are brothers are brothers
To ono goal our footsteps tend
Then as ihroug liie's path we wander.
Let as be each others friend.
What though icmpests dark assail US
What though ihOrns nfest our path
Our brave hearts will never fail US
Needless Of the tempests wrath
And who does not feel deeper for their pat
riot fathers who have so touchngly illustrated this beau
tfu truth We all know how the bond OF brotherhood
is strengthened by common danger and in this day
OF the world who does not know that the nature OF its
battles Is changed who does shudder with unuticr
able horror at the fearful judgments that threaten
None but they who place physical suffering above the
pangs Of moral death. To those who know the object
of the meeting in the heart OF City this afternoon
and who feel the tremendous crisis which the Adolf.
tonis,s of Freedom have forced upon appeal Is
needed Others there who may be devoted 10 their
business and their families and seeing change in the
physical world no dminuton of trade and disap-
pearance Of men or horses from the street do per
ccye that deeplaid plan is being mstured which
stealthy aims 10 convert our mighty government into
al engine of Slavery and If the spirits Of the lustr
Gus dead participate in the and of those
who were dear them in this transtory life, must
send thrill of anguish into the Utmost souls Of best
departed patriots True there is call for taking guns
and enduring the trials Of campaigns amid blood
and smoke and carnage but contest OF far different
nature is hand The independent reemen OF all par
ties are uprising throughout the States, and every
honest should do his duty regardless the threats
of mental prints or the still baser hints of physical force
and personal violence.
Man was made for healthful effort,
Tyranny has crushed him long
lie shall march from good 10 better,
Nor be patient under wrong
Standing still is childish folly,
Going backward Is a crime;
None should patiently endure
Any III that he cure
Onward keep the march OF Time
Onward while wrong remains
To be conquered by the Right"
Descendants Of patriot isthers-overs OF rational
freedom If band Of ruffans should offer violence to
your countrys proudest ornament, could you quietly
submit Re assured deeper wound to your country Is
threatened II unresisted the moral power Of America
is endedyour mission Is to the race, and good
men win sympa,hize longer. Know, then that your
presence and counensnce are needed in the Park this
evening to show the bastard reiers upon brute force
that they may never triumph Right siiae the
voice of Truth Show them that Liberty and Lsw can
still walk hand in hand
There = midnight backness changing
Into gray
Men of thought and men OF action
CLEAR The WAY a.
