hears the cries of strong men n their agony
would not again excaim, with the same pride
as when the shouts of victory echoed from
o. can to ocean Mine was one of those
heroes. y
Thrice happy are We that our gallant Yer
mont has sent iorh her niuth regiment OF
brave true men to aid in the work so nobly
commenced, and win the laurels lready worn
by their brethren in the field We have
shared in The abundant blessings conferred
upon every tree American by the Union OF
these States We have shared-God pardon
rs 10 the mighty wrong which demads this
precious sacrifice OF our soHs and brothers.
Let US now instruct them to go forth, not
merely 10 remove the stain from the nations
honor, but the guilt from the natious heart
How weak are the mightiest agencies to hasten
the vance of peace.
While still is spared that evil thing
That sewers ana estranges.
Through years of prosperity and of peril,
the verdict Of our historian has been, ' err
mont is both brave and loyal She will not
fail now when the work rises in such magui-
tude before her she will not be wanting in
heroie spirits to join in the sutterlngs and
triumphs of her departed heroes. Let it be
felt that from this harvest Of death to
which they are sent shall come forth liberty
and manhood TO millions groanins in bondage,
and over cur entire State shall echo the cry,
as we point with pride and gladness to those
already in the field We follow them to the
battle OF the Right, H. A. H.
