UaT1e TO CELL On Abraham Lincoln TO matn-
tain their rights. It is pleasant to see aris-
tocrnts, who would sooner "die freemen"
than live as tsvassals'' of the Federal Union,
break from sway SO gentle that, like a
mothers tenderness, 1t lost the semblance Of
authority, to wzithe under the lash Of petty
and upstart, though relentless and bloody,
despotism like that of JEFF Davis.
DIERs' ORPHANS.
The future historian viii pause to admire
the resplendent circle Of charities developed
by this great struggle for freedom, and in
spircd by the contemplation, he will hand
them down to Immortality to challenge the
admiration Of all coming ages. Nerer has
philanthropy become 60 universal Look ut
the Soldiers Aid Societies. Sanitary Fairs,
Cbrietion Commissi-n, Widows Relief
Fund, and dozen others. Where in the re-
cord Of past ages can you find ench glof1-
Gus array? Now there comes another no
lees worthy-the keystone to this beautiful
arch-the education of the destitute orphans
Of our brave soldiers who fall in battle
This is sacred duty which we must not neg
lect: we owe 1t to the patriotic men who
70 forth to the field. We owe 1t to the desc
late widows, we owe 1t to the helpless Off
spring of god-like stree, we owe it to our
country, to ourselves, TO posterity, and
thank God, It will be done. Illinois has
done gloriously In furnishing men aud sup
plies. Chicago stands unriyalled In her mu-
nifcence. Our Board of Trade Is proverbial
for It's generosity. Our merchant princes
hare splendid record, which shall grow
brighter as years roll on. But they will
give AZ generously as they have done before;
they will not be weary In well-dolDg; they
will see that the proposed fund Of one hum
dred thousand dollars is speedily raised; that
every son Of Illinois whose father has fallen
in obedience to her bchest shall be clothed
and educated, and fitted for a useful career.
Think Of 1t, fathers, when you 60 home to
your little ones, aud your hearts are cheered
BY their sweet smiles and prattlipg laughter,
and esteem 1t a privilege that you are per-
mItted to aid in snch an enterprise. 1t is a
source ofgreat satisfaction that Chicago has
the honor Of originating this noble scheme,
which We rejoice to say Is already being EN-
u1ated By other cites and States, as was our
Sanitary Fair. Citizens Of Chicago respond
henrtily to this call, that your example may
stimulate others to go and do likewise.
