EDWARD EVERETT AT GETTYSBURG.

terday l9th,) by Edward Everett, on the con
secration Of the cemetery prepared for the re
mains Of those who fell in the battles Of th
lst, I'd and Sd days Of July last. We arr
confirmed in our opinion that the old Adver
tiser is the best Of the Boston dailies.
Happily introducing the subject by state
ment Of the houors paid TO heroes in ancient
Greece, Mr.. Everett gave a lucid statement o.
the designs Of Lee in his Northern campaign
and Of the campaign itself, and then passed
to the Rebellion as the cause OF war and all
its consequences. holding the rebels, and not
the Government. responsible, and declaring
a vigorous prosecution Of the war, to the de-
struotion of the military power Of the rebel
states, to be the only remedy We quote;
Nor must we be deferred from the vigorous prossou-
ton oi he war. BY the suggestion continually thrown

the Union and the return " harmony between the two

every kind unavudably incident TO war Who could
