Meade passed BY Gettysburg or bis way 10

twenty thousand voices spoke from their
tombs. "Reme mber US, our blood was freely
shed when the fate Of the nation hung sus

the treachery of those we once regarded rs
friends. Meade required no such adponi-
ton. He knows the right and is determined,
to act accordingly. Alabama brea,bee easier
