of US who preteuds TO have blunted one bay onet /
There is not one of US no pretends that we have
saunched drop OF blood. But we do pretend
that We have put down our foot Tor the hrst step
that we have made beginning.
There is not one OF US who objects 10 the TACT
that officers escorted our Delegates to Paris and
lett their small swords at home. This is French
courtesy. But we do believe that the Peace |
Convention held in the centre of the world, echo.
ing its truths across continent and even ON
California TO the Isles of the Western ocean, we
do believe that that voice will tell somewhere.
And though we care very little for French CON-
phment, and for French poetry, and for French
courtesy,and other Incidental affairs, yet men who
are practical, las some OF us are,) when they find
that French Minister OF war, Tor the first time
since there was French Minister oil war, is pro.
posing to reduce the French army by eighty
thousand men, we believe that that means some
thing and we believe that our Congress had
something to do with it,
When we find again that that man who is to be
the Prime Minister of Eng and-when we ind
that that man named Golden, has thought upon
the subject-when we find that he has dreamed
OF Peace, and dreamed IF Peace, AND DREAM.
ED OF PEACE, and has determined to speak OF
Peace as he spoke at Paris, we believe when ten
years hence he SITS on the virtual throne Of Eng.
land, that he will speak and act something more
time when grey haired men shall ostle each 9TH
er for the honor OF attending it. We do not com
pare our Congress with the worth OF that Con
gress when grey haired men who have served
their countries in the houses of peers and in the
senate chambers shall labor to rise one step high

TIE OF PEACE, as you have called him sir and
an apostle who did not go forth TO that Christian
work OF his, till in his own person, by Gods
! grace, the gilt OF tongues had descended upon
him, (great enthusiasm, aud prolonged appause)
as II he were the man singled out to begin to put
. an end to that warning confusion of which Babel
] was the beginning, (cheers) apostle who did
not go forth till the spirit OF the Lord Jesus Christ
/ had entered into his heart and had bid him 90,
and who now comes back to US when he has

donla into another Macedonia, as they needed
him, and sent his messenger Olive Leaves over
every land OF the civilized world. 1t is to wei.

AS the return of our countrymen, who have
engaged in the Congress Of Peace, calls upon us
TO meet together to welcome them; there lore,
Resolved That the character of that Congress and its
proceedings are another proof to that the
