GENERAL This pageant is full of pathos
and of glory. 1t forms the concluding scene
in the long series of visible actions and
events in which Massachusetts, has borne a
part for the overthrow of the rebellion and
the vindication of the Union. The banners
wealth through welcome hands. Borne one
by one out of this capital, during more than
four years of civil war, as the symbols Of
the nation and the Commonwealth, under
which the battalions of Massachusetts, de-
parted for the field, they come back again,
borne hither by surviving representatives
of the same heroic regiments and companies
to which they were entrusted at the hands,
General, of yourself
:" Let the brave heart, the trusty heart, the
deep, unfathomable heart in words Of more
than mortal eloquence, uttered though un-
expressed, speak emotions of grateful ven
Grafton, for which these lips of mine are
alike too feeble and unworthy.
General, 1 accept these relics in behalf
of the people of the Government. They will
be preserved and cherished amid all the
of the future as mementoes Of
brave men and noble actions"
