Our friend Adams, of the True Delta
is highly pleased with the policy nrgeC
by Gen. Sherman. The General is eVi
IDENTIFY man of practical wisdom arl
magnanimity, though many of us diz
not think so during the early months d
of ga. The True Delta mentions ths
fact that only a few days since the Gen
eral was welcomed to Louisville, Ky, Hi
an immense and enthusiasts multitnds
The Hon. Jas. Guthrie, speaking On d.
halfof the people, made some appropri
ate remarks. concluding as follows
"And now that the war Is ended, the W..
bellion suppressed, the people want no
more stlife, no more blood they wnnt
the halcyon days of peace; they wan Che
rule of tie Constellation and losos en,oscsd b
The ciriI courts as the first work of peace
and union"
To these observations of Judge Guth-
rie, which were received with much ap-
probation, Gen. Sherman, toward the
close of his address. responded in this
"ASC AFO JNoA5 uEO AAA hOL III CdAh
of the troubles ahead, but they did arise,
and are now suppressed, and now peace
exists all over our land; and l welcome
back this peace, because ii appeals 10 tie
hearts Of men anil the highest interests of the
Nation. l love my profession and sold
iers, but, at the same time, think that
the interest of the whole country de-
mands that when troubles arise, they
should be determined by tie courts Of lac, and
not 6y tie farce Of musket; and, therefore, l
hope that the peace that is now upon US
will last forever, and that if / am ever
called upon to fight, it may be with some.
body outside of our National limits"
Such sentiments are worthy the heart
and head of a great and magnanimons
soldier, and no wonder they were re.
ceived with the most enthusiastic demon
strations of applause.
In a speech at Lancaster, Gen. Sher:
man said: "The past is now with the
historian, but we must still grapple with
a future. In this we need a guide, and,
fortunately for us all, we can trust the
Constitution which has safely brought us
through the gloom and danger of the
past. Let each State take care of it's o0n To- |
cal interests and cDairs-Ohio Of hers, Louis
lana of hers, Wisconsin of hcrs-and I be |
liere The best results ,oW .to2ow. You all |
know we'll that have lived much at the
South, and l say that, though we have
been bitter and fierce enemies in war. |
we must trust this people again in peace.
The bad men among them will separate
from those who ask for order and peace,
and when the people do thus separate,
we can encourage the good, and if need
be, we can cut the heads of the bad off
at one blow. Let the present take care of
i4e present, and ,Oith the faith inspired By the
past, zoe can trust the future to the future
The Government of the United States
and the Constitution of our fathers have
proven their strength and power in time
OF war, and we can safely trust them now
in peace, and ! believe our whole country
will be even more brilliant in the vast
and unknown future than the past"
How peaceful and quiet, adds the True
Delta, all things would be-how brightly
Ind harmoniously the future would loom
Up beft re us-if all the leading men Of
he country would pay heed toGen. Sher
mans course and counsel.
