FRI terrible dream, and reoices that he ls alive.
We feel as did the Children Of Israel when standing
upon the shores Of the Red Sea- they looked back
livered.
after the battle, and while yet the conflict was
raging, dedicated himself TO his country and TO tho
cause Of liberty and union The demon Of rebellion
the words he spoke is resting upon us to-day The
great prophecy he uttered when he said the nation
that 'the Government OF the people, by the people
and for the people, shall not perish from the earth
is being fulfilled. He sealed his devotion with
his blood, and sacred be his memory The eloquent
Everett, who spoke here on the same occasion, and
who has since passed from earth, said agOd bless
the Unlon IL s dearer to from the blood OF brave
men which has been shed in its defense AS stood
faith was renewed in the triumph of liberty: hut
Imagination failed 70 stretch forward TO this auspi-
cious day; The march Of events has been faster
than our thoughts, and the fruits of victory have
already exceeded our most sanguine expectations
While we pay this tribute Of love and gratitude to
the dead let us not forget the surviving heroes OF
the battle. They, too, offered their lives, hut the
sacrifice was not required. The admiration, love,
and gratitude OF the nation viii attend them they
pass down the declivIty OF time to honored graves
In the evening OF their lives they will tell the story
OF Gettysburg TO wondering youth, who will listen
as we did when our grandfathers told OF Bunker Hill,
Saratoga, and Yorktown Many OF them are here to-
day to review the scene OF their struggle and trl
umph. How powerful the contrast between now
and then! The dark cloud which overspread the
horizon OF the nation s gone, and all s brightness.
The sulphurOus cloud OF battle, 100, is gone, and
there Is noting TO obscure our vision Of the field.
The dead have returned TO dust. The fields once
numbered with bodies and slippery with blood are
clothed with verdure and harvest, and to-day all is
peace, beauty, and repOse.
We seek not to commemorate triumph over our
misguided cOuntrymen. IL is the cause we cele-
brate. Our triumph is theirs, and their childrens
chldrehs, unto the latest generation. The great dis
turbinR element has been removed Vicious pOltt-
cal hCresies have been eXtirpated. The trial by
wager of battle has bee2 decided in favor of liberty
and union, and all will submit The people of the
Moth and South have met each other face to face
on many field, have tried each others courage,
have found that they are much alike in most things,
have increased their mutual respect, and are now
before.
Ine Southern States are rapidly recovering from
the prostratlon of the war, and with their deliver
ance from the incubus of Slavery, with free labL-
with free schools with emigration from the Norti
and from Europe, VIII soon attain prosperity an,
power OF which they scarcely dreamed in former
days Their advancing prosperity is solid, just, and
enduring. We rejoice in it, and shall participate in
it. The bonds Of Union are made indissoluble by
the community OF political principles, by the COM
plete identity OF domestic and commercial interests,
and by uniform systems OF labor OF education and OF
habits Of thought and action HENCEFoRTH
DISUNION is IMPOSSIBLE.
As Governor Morton concluded his great ora

the concluding sentence, his voice trembling

and success of his effort. He was helped again
to his seat, while the band took up the refrain
of his words 'Henceforth disunion is impos-
