When our beautiful flag was lost to sight, i
folded il with my heart, and | have there
sacredly guarded it with every thought, word
and action. IL was too holy, too sacred an
emble m to wave over us in our bloody, exc
cradle work of desolation, oppression, and
every wrong that could be perpetrated under
the most merciless, relentless, vindictiye Of
despotsms. Such a tyranny, such terror
to all hearts that were true to their blessed
brthright, that no pen can portray-no one
without conceive it. Oh how can We well

tion of our own country, but, as you forward
mar shed, the dust in your pathgay had been
laid by the tears OF generatlons-the air filed
for years with the voiceless, unlpped prayers
OF those who watched for your cOmiDg-who
groaned being burdened-whose sun rose and
set under the dark cloud OF unremitting, un-
recompensed labor. The cotton plant has
oeen watered and purified by the tears-.he
blood, of these martyrs.
As you advance the chains fall-the shackle
are broken-and slavery is dead.
No wonder that the walls of our houses
were sgaying-that the earth shook-that the
heart of our city was flaming altar as this
mighty work was done. Labor without mana
acles-labor without the lssh--labOr instruct

Civilization advanced century. Justice,

glorious army wrought for us. Oh Glory TO

man shall praise Thee the remainder Of wrath

martyrs have been added many names-many

our eyes rest again upon you. That under
your soft folds we find protection on the broad
bosom of our cOuntry-and that for us too is
her glorious future. May we awake to our in

stunning news came of the death-.he assassi-

little band of firm Unionionists in our midst.
Though ii certainly can be no matter Of sur
prise to any one who knows Of what stuff
treason is made. President LincOln's ex xalted
patriotism, his purity, his humanity, awakened
the tenderest feelings Of our hearts. We
wanted to see him-to know him-we loved

manifested by this man. May God guide and
