American ne0ple, limited under one flag and
animated by one patriotic pulse shall march
iOrwaT1 on that career OF greatness and pros

revolutionary fathers. Those fathers when we

and aggrandize the triumph of a part over
another part. I rejoice in that coming trI-

Of the south shall say to the people OF The
North: ave rejoice that our country was not

part Of The great American people, 80 the !
south viii say. The time shall be when the !
states north of the Ohio shall reiolce hearth |
". You can rejoice that slavery has passed l
agay forever. They viii feel that the great 4
chain was lifted from their necf1s- and the |
shackles were broken which bound their I
limbs, when four million American people I
were liberated and made citizens OF this 1
country, where they had forIasrly been slaves. 4
They viii yet realize shat Virginia, the Caro-
linas and Georgia shall be richer and /
nobler, freer and purer than they would have
been. 50 long as a part OF their people We're
IN bondage, they win realize that what was 4
their weakness, has. through emancipation, l
become their strength, and they viii rejoice
that nothing now remains to mar Jhe unity 4
or cloud the destiny OF our country and their !
SO, then, fellow-citiZens, having l

lbandon slavery. TO enfrancnise their cOlOred /
citizens We did everything reasonable and !
proper TO make our triumph perfect. Nov T.
we SAY, and they say, let hatred and bitter |
ness, let contention and Jealousy, perish /
forever. LApplause.l Let rs forget that .
we have fought; LET Us remember that we I
have made peace; let MS say that there shall I
be no degradation, DO people over whom we I
