efforts
4th: The ArQyand Nary Of the United States THE
past has clothed them with impershable honor. Our
miration Of the world. Our Navy has shown its vao,
In all the ports of the continent aud Monitors

Gen. J. B. Sanborn was called upon to
respond. Our army, he said, was always
subject tothe'people's will It was the du.
ty Of Congress, being the representatives
Of the people, to declare war, and it was
,with'them to.pronounce peace ), so that on,
armies are always battling on the side O
the Right, and defending the liberties O.
the people. Unlike those Of ,despotic gov
ernments, always employed to crush tn
people, our armies were ever engaged il
defending and asserting the rights Of man
This is it's glory. No army ever showed
more valor than has ours when callet
upon to execute the will of the government
1t has always borne the flag onward to vic
tory. The navy is equally deserving o
praise. To the remotest parts Of the glob'
it carries our flag, protecting our com
merce, and introducing our language an,
ts-...~---~ circumference
dag borne by our army and navy is tn
hope of man, is grand and true idea
Our government is based upon the princi
pie that oil men stand upon an equal foot
ing. The hags and emblems of other nj
tons may go to decay, but that which rep
resents the equality Of men under the law
and protects labor against the unjust az
gressioas Of capital, shall never fall, but it.
stars shine on forever.
5A. Tie Governor Of Minnesota.
Responded to by Ex-Governor Miller
Referring To- Gov: Marshall (vho was n o.

after the cessation of the war, he had beer
true and loyal to the country and the I'm
ion. he has also been friendly to the rail
road interests Of the State We're Gov.
ernor Marshall present he would compli.
ment Mr.. Litch6eld for having pushed for
ward this line which now cements US With
the outer world. Some six years ago he
(the speaker) had addressed an audience
at the Stcarns House in st. Cloud, com.
prising nearly ali the people then living in
the town, on which occasion he had proph-
esied these matters in the language Of
Shakespeare, s:Thero's = good time coming
boys, wait little longer" and he doubt
ed not that if some excited individual in the
crowd had persisted in his mentioning the
exact date, hs would have said September
LIST, 1866. But he would not speak longer,
as he wanted to hear somebody else; a.
his ambition had not yet been satisfied, he
intended running for Alderman in St. Paul
and eventually for Mayor in St. Cloud,
and If he talked longer, he would lose votes.
His humorous hits called forth frequent
applause.
