SPEECH OF SENATOR WILSON.
Hon. Henry Wilson closed his speech with
the following hopeful remarks My faith is
strong-strong in the people of the United
States, strong in the progress ofhuman events,
strong in democratic institutions, and strong
in that God that rules over the affairs of men.
(Cheers.) The cause in which we are en-
gagged is the cause of national unity, and the
life of this nation, the existence of this North
American republic, is at issue; and that is
not all: the cause of human liberty in Amer
lea is at issue-the cause of toiling millions
OF the North American republic. There is an
influence on earth that elevates and adorns
human character that is with us and fighting
for US in this great battle in which we are en-
gagged. There is not a man who cannot take
the cause of our country home with him to-
night and read his Bible and on his Bonded
knees invoke the blessing OF Almighty God
upon the cause of oGr common country. 1t is a
cause that man may be proud to toll for,
labor for, and, if need be, proudly to die for.
(Cheers.) Up in the interior Of this state

moments, when life was Pickering, he called
tor glass of wine, and, holding it up, said :

America" and the brave cid soldier passed
away with the noble and piOuS sentiment upon
his lips. There is not man IN America that
may not invoke these utterances of Gen. Sum-
ner, and ask God to bless our country, the
United States of America. (Cheers and the
boom of cannon.) We should support the
government of our country, not because it is
a republican administration, for do not ask
it. would support democratic administra-
tlon, because my duty tony country demanded
it. We should forget all partizanship and bury
all party feelings deeper than ever plummet
sounded, and go for our country, our whole
country, and nothing but our country. (Great
applause and cheers.) All party conflicts
and organizations dwarf and sink down in the
presence OF the mighty events which are upon
us. The highest and loftiest duty ever com
mitted to men, is committed to us now, and
that duty is to save our country, to preserve
the life of our nation. A cry-"We will.")
