GEN. SToNEMAN.-His remarks
at a political meeting in Memphis
Tenn. :, =
Friends and fellow citixens:-You
have called before you, not parti-
san or politician. but q simple citi-
zen Of the government of the United
States, Knowing no north, no south,
no east, no west. The war in which
this greatest Of all great countries
has been engaged during the past
eventful years is ended, the issues
upon which that war was based are
settled. If there is anything to
forgive, let it be forgiven; if there
is anything to be forgot, let it be
forgotten, Let US all reeollect that
We have but one country aud one
flag. The object for which We are
all assembled here tonight is, as l
underestimate, reconstruction andre
union. You may force a separated
man and wife to live in the same
house, lodge in the same room, but
they will never be united as man
and wife until they have first become
reconciled. L said the war was end
ed. Asw ewere enemies in war, let
US be again friends, and in this senti-
ment l know that none will join me
more heartily than the gallant aud
distinguished president Of this as
semblage. The gallantry that was
displayed during the past by each
one engaged in the war, let it be
the common property of all. We
soldiers who did the fighting are re-
conciled and want peace and har-
mony, and we call on you editors
and orators of the land to aid us
with your pens and tongues. Preach
ers Of the gospel whose solemn OBJ
legation it is to preach peace and good
will, We ask your prayers and invo-
cations. and from you, politicians,
We demand that you shall ceas Sc you,
wrangling and allow the good work
to 60 on until our object is attained.
And you, fair maidens and noble
matrons. who, during the fighting
cheered US with your smiles and
frightened US with your frowns, lend
US the potency Of your power in the
accomplishment of work so laudi.
