Bx-G Governor Letoher on Southern Affairs.
A Plea for Peace.
E&S&overnor Lctcher, of Virginia,
delivered an address at Lexington,
Va, ON the occasion of the reiuaugu-
radon of the statue of " ashington, at
tho Virginia Military Institute, in the
course of which he said
The Southern people regard the
question at issue as settled :;and for
ever settled. They accept the result,
and are prepared to abide by it in
good faith. They pledge an honor
that is untarnished, and when brave
and honest men give such pledg &c, who
can doubt their sincerity, and who can
hesitate to believe that their pledge
will be redeemed to the letter
No government can endure which
does not rest upon the affections of its
people. "A wise, just, tolerant, up-
right administration of public affairs
will win back the affections of the
South and entwine them around the
pillars that upheld the Union as the
"clasping ivy" encircles the majestic
oak. Kindness begets kindness con-
hdence, inspires confidence charity
aud tolerance generates love and af-
fection. Let all these ennobling vir-
tues be cultivated and encouraged. If
the scenes of the last four years cam
not be forgotten by either side, let
them be at least forgiven and passed
by in solemn, dignificd silence. Let
each side cease to remind the other of
the disagrccable incidents that occurr-
ed during thatsad hut cvontful Pc
riod.
Let us, then, be of good cheer, Let
no one be dishcartcncd or discourag-
cd. We must all do our duty in a
faithful, Independent and manly way,
and then we may reasonably antici-
pate bright and happy future for
ourselves, our posterity and our coun-
try.
It should be the policy of all to in
culcate a spirit of concord, and so act
each to the other as to advance the
common interest of all. We should
do everything in our power to secure
the prosperity of the nation, augment
its'woalth, develop its boundless min
eral and other resources, arouse up
its dormant energies, multiply its chan
nels of intercommunication, encour-
age agricultural, mechanical and
manufacturing industry. This is due
to ourselves as we'll as those who are
come after us, apd who look to us for
the adoption of policy that will place
them before the world ih the most ad-
vantageous position. Let us deal can
didlyl fairly, honestly, justly and
charitably one with another, and then,
&neeling around the altar of COM
mon country, let united prayer as
cend to Heaven "God bless America. !"
