none that excite my interest. as you do. This
war in which we are engaged is not a war
for s~ubiugation or aggression but is a war
to sustain the Constitution and the national

Point-the glorious flag Of the Union that
has since waved on every sea and ocean, and
which shall wave on every part of our coun-
try, from the Atlantic TO the Pacific Ocean.
You nobly sustained it at Sumter. 1t is true
you were conquered men. They took you
