immense meeting at Columbus on the 2Slh

ale commenced by saying that he had
come to the great State of Ohio bearing Il
message to her from her old mother State;
that for twelve Ion" years there had been
an unnatural and unhappy cstranSement
between pnrcnt and child, and for four
wears of that time they had confronted each
| other upon the crimson field OF war; DIT
| that from the moment the laSt gun was lirtd
| in the late civil war the voice Of the old Com

Cancellation. nor would this reconcilia-
ton have been so long postponed but for
the meddlcsome and wicked interference OF
those who subsist on strife and fatten on
fcuds. AT last, however, the great State of

to clasp hands across the bloody cha>m made
