In response to serenade at Gettysburg
on the occasion of the National Gene

the balcony Of his hotel and spoke as
follows.
FELLOW CITIZENS [ am now sixty
years old and upward [ have been in
public life practically forty years of that
time, and yet this is the first time that
ever any people or community so near
to the border of Maryland was found
willing to listen to my voice and the
reason was, [ said forty years ago that
slavery was opening before this people
a graveyard that was to be filed with
brothers falling in mutual political COM
bat. l-knew that the cause that was
hurrying the Union into this dreadful
strife was slavery and when did elevate
my voice it was to warn the people to
remove that cause when they could BY
constitutional means, and so avert the
catastrophe of civil war that now unhap-
PLY has fallen upon the nation, delug-
ing it in blood. That crisis came, and
we see the result. '.# ~
am thankful that you are willing to
hear me at last. / thank my God that
I believe this strife is going to end in
the removal of that evil which ought to
have been removed by peaceful means
and deliberate councils. Good I
thank my God for the hope that this is
the last fratricidal war. which will fall
upon the country, country vouchsafed
by Heaven, the richest, the broadcast,
most beautiful, most magnificent and
capacious ever yet bestowed upnoa PEG
pie, that has ever been given to any part
Of the human race. Applause. And
I thank God for the hope that when the
cause is removed, simply the operation
Of abolishing it, as the origin Of the
great treason that IS aoithoutJustfcation

forth be unsted. be only one country, haze

We are now near the graves Of the
misguided, whom we have consigned to
their last resting place with pity for
their errors, and with hearts full Of grief
with which we mourn over the brother
by whose hand, raised in defense of his
Government, that misguided brother per-
ished When we part tomorrow night,
let us remember that we owe it to our
country and to mankind that this war
shall have for it's conclusion the estab-
fishing Of the principle Of democratic
government-the simple principle that,
whatever party, whatever portion Of the
Union prevails by constitutional suffrage
in an election, that party is to be res
pected and maintained in power until it
shall give place on another trial and an
other verdict, to different portion of
the people. (Good.) Ifyou do not do
that, you are drifting at once and ire
sistibly to the very verge ofthe destruc-
ton Of your government. But with
that principle this government Of ours
the freest. the best, the wisest, and the
happiest in the world-must be, and, so
far as we are concerned. practically will
be, immortal (Applause.)
