Edward Eyerett's Last speech

Since be has gone, additional interest
attaches to the last speech of Hon. Ed
ward Everett. In his remarks at Faneuil
Hall, Boston, on Monday, Jan. 9th, made
in behalf of sending supplies to the suf-
feripg people of Savannah, Mr. Everist
said:
"It is our duty, as I know it will be
our pleasure, to do our part In thls be-
ncyolent work. They offer, it is true, tc
send the rice which Gen. Sherman has
given them and sell it at the enhanced
price which it bears in our market, in
payment of the supplies of which they
stand in sore need. But New York and
Boston don't want their rice. Savannah
wants our pork, Deef aud -four, aud | say
in the name of Heaven let US send it tc
them without money aud without price
By.and by we will trade with them as we
did 10 the good times before the curse oil
secession aud rebellion came upon the
land. By.and bye we will take the rice
aud the cotton, and give them our food
and fabrics in return.
I don't want our great commercial
cities, warm hearted Boston and imperial
New York, to go to chaffering with poor
war stricken, starving Savannah for the
food she needs for her famishing citizens

Gen. Sherman, as kind as he is brave
who desires only to preserve, by the gen

uncoDquered sword has won, has himself
said that "timely relief to the suffering

For Heavens sake, my friends, let us
hasten to win these boodless victories
saddened By no parents bereavement,
nor widows tears"
1t was beautiful speech to finish the
career of christian orator. Pleading in
behalf of mercy for his fellow men, his
voice was hushed in death as a close to
a sweeping and rounded period. More
than ever impressive are the thoughts
and sentiments given by the national
counsellor 10 the speech at Faneuil Hall
