are many vacant seats here, where once
sat your sons or brothers, now on the bat
tie field OF there be any Democrats here
let them come up close and occupy these
vacant seats, for | want TO talk tC them
In appearing before you, after four years
of silence and three years OF perlls ana
suffering, in defence of our country
would do great injustice to my feelings
if did not express my sincere thanks TO
our Creator and preserver for this iaVor'
We all have in this short period been
BROUGHT to mourn the suffering aud death
Of beloved friends, slain by the hands OF
traitors unop the altar Of constitutional
human liberty, And to-day, christian
sympathy for the cause for which they
have oiven their all as we'll as deepSoli-
tude for those who have gone to bear their
bosom to the sacrifice, has brought US
here to day. Let us not forget them for
a moment, but while they stand at Ihe
runs. let them have our prayers, aud let
,. la ..no,'t Give M the Ship
Letus say to them to day, while we walk
in our peaceful streets, surrounded by all
lloss;nos IF orcnublican government,
that we are not unmindful OF those VINO
