went on to say that We we're eminent
" q people of order and devotion to law.
ffe had many times heard In Europe that though
Amer ca was able TO get along very well win ior-
eign enemies, vet its Government was not strong
enough to suppress an insurrcciion. But we had
shown that we could raise million OF men in few
mouths, spend millions OF dollars dayln sup
porting them, and we would put down the Re
bellion, and then be the greatest nation III the
world. In England they said that we mad not tie
moral power and nerve to take care of ourselves.
And yet at nothing but little wedding which came
oil in England few days ago seven women were
smotherd, and about 500 men blurred. But We could
have million Of people out and not single person
hurt. fCbeers.l He had but little time to devote
TO the past Good men did not want 10 bear about
that. What was the use Of talking hour aboat
the cause of the Rebellion and who brought us INTO
It. Suppose it had been done by radical Abolition
ists in the North what was that 10 the man whose
heart was right He would ask only what was
his duty to-day. The past was gone; we could
not help il. The sooner we came 10 take care OF
the present and the future, and to cease to care
about the past the better. Liberty was the soul Of
law. We all knew that the South brought tbs
war on, and yet no human being in the South would
say that the Government had deprived him of any
