The Cleveland leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1865-1865, 1865-05-02

Will 90 hand IN hand with you, while Al
the same time they will hold you to a rigid
accountability for any useless or extrsva-
CANT expenditure in our current expenses.
] join with you in congratulations that
the rebellion againstour government, which
has for four years been desolating large
part of our country, has been trodden under
foot, and that peace will soon reign through
out our country. Far removed as VIC have
been from the strife, we have scarcely felt
its existence, except as we have been call
ed upon for our fathers, brothers and sons
to join the great army to beat back the enc
my from our own borders. As individuals
and as part oil this Government, the ques-
tions at issue have been vital to US all, and
we cannot have been unmiDdlul of the re-
suit, and to that kind Providence who has
carried the destinies of this country in His
hand, and brought it safely cut of its trial,
purified of its great SIN, should our graft
tude be given.
Our brave soldiers grateful people will
ever have in remembrance. Those who
have survived the shock of battle will soon
return among US, and it is fitting they
should be received in such a manner as
shall show that We appreciate their services
to the common country. 1t is little we can
do for them compared with what they have
done for US, Our gratitude, together with
q living interest in their future welfare, is
all we can give.
The honored dead alas, we cannot receive,
we cannot honor. Their ashes lie almost
unmarked on every battle field. When
their record is made up a marble shaft
should rise on our Public Park, perpetual
ing to all coming generations the names of
those who went out to fight the battles of
their country and never returned.
invoke upon your lsbors the blessing of
Divine Providence, that He may guide you
in your legislation to seek only that which
shall be for the best interests Of the people
