The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1868-11-27


| Held where, five years ago, you would
have seen things showing the marx. OF
| the strifc-thc nangl,d tree, the torn
| field, the bloody rHimcnt, the bent and
| broken musket, the u-ueSs sash. that
-hall never again girl him who once
was living and vigorous man, the new
made grave, with all il. terrible sug-
Ecstions, and now you " i'll find that ne
turc has covered them all over with
green grass and with the beautiful now-
ers of tho season. We have everything
to teach us that the passions Of war
should have died away long since. 1t
is only by men who claim to lead liz,
and who should gave Us calm counsrls,
snd sometimes in the temple OF G1ls
holy religion that we hear the past har.
rowed up. DO you think any maD
would dare go before our soldiers and
nsk them TO dig up the remains Of those
who uird before their valor, to drag the
skeletons Of their foes to the light OF
day? They would 5mitc him down with
Indignation. How much better are
the men who now, when four years
have rolled by, come before you and
wat to oI en- the grave ,of buried pas
sio:s, and day after day, from the
ros rum and in the press try,to fill your
mind with the sentiments OF hate? Are
the sc moral resurrectionis,s any better
than those who would drag the nsensi.
Bile remains OF the dead 10 light? They
turn the minds Of the people away rom
the consideration Of the true problem Of
good government. They hinder wisr
legislation. They peril our future. The
policy OF hate never govCrneln Il natinh
well. lChecrs.) We have spcut .ixterl
hundred millions OF dollars to uphold
great armies to keep the people nf thr
South in ahject~ submission, though the
war left them poor, with their houses
desolate, their family .rcie broken up.
