Mn. oREELEY's SPEECH AT HAnLroS.
MEN OF ONO: bear you Joyful greetings
from the people Of Indiana. [Applauee.l I
have looked into their clear eyes. I have
teen the light Of heaven reflected from their
honest faces. tell You that as well as can
read men, have read them, and feel assured
that on the night Of the 9Th OF October neg.
they will send forth q majestic voice on the
ede Of national reconciliation. [Great ap-
plause.l The great Liberal wave now sweep
ing over the country 10 destined to efface all
distinction Of race, and all past bitterness,
and to all thie you will scarcely find anywhere
OF Indiana. Last night not less than fifty
thousand Of them met us at Indianapolis. SO
far rs their State is concerned they speak in
no equivocal voice. They are with you. they
are for you, Liberals of Ohio, and Of all other
States, in claiming that. strife having ceased,
hatred shall cease. prescription shall ceaee,
Acknowledgement shall cease, and that the
whole American people united under one Gag
and animated by one patriotic impulse sLan
march forward once more on that career Of
greatness and prosperity planned and pre-
pared for them BY our revolutionary fathers.
IApplsuse.l These fathers, when we were
bur thirteen little States scattered along the
selves the Continental army. That Cont
mental army was the army which fought the
battle Of the Revolution, though our country
then covered but . narrow "trip OF the ATTAIN
tic seaboard. Yet, In spirit and aspiration,
the American eagle locAed over across this
whole broad land, and said, - This is all mine.
This shall all be planted and watered by the
people who acknowledge my ascsndancy."
So. friends. we are resolved not merely that
we shall be united in geography-that there |
shall be one Government from Texas to |
Maine, and to Oregon-but that there shall be |
one willing, joyful. cordial united people. |
Lets. not stricken down and heIi PROSTATE by
force. but all Of them. North and South, East |
and West, rejoicing that they are Americans,
and that one flag covers them al; one law |
rules them all ; that one country embraces
and enfolds them TApplause.l We cannot
hate each other forever. We cannot keep
raking up stories Of Andersonville, Salisbury. |
and Libby Prison, to make this people hostile |
in heart to those who live below the Ohio
river. We shall learn at last we shall come,
at last, to be one people. Why not now? |
Seven years ago the last ehot was fired
seven years and more ago the last Confsder-
ate dag was surrendered; and still We 60 on
holding conventions-military conventions
to emphasize and sggrandize the triumph Of
part over another part. rejoice in that
coming triumph Of the whole nation, when /
the people OF the South shall cay to the peo-
pie Of the North: I've rejoice that our
country was not divided-that our mistaken
efforts to have Southern Confeteracy were
defeated. We find at last that il was our des-
tiny and our blessing to be part Of the great
American people" So the South win say.
The time shall be when the States south Of |
the Ohio shall rejoice. yearly, as you rejoice.
that slavery has passed away forever. They
will feel that the great chain Was lifted from
their necks and broken which bound their
limbs, when 1000, 600 Of American people
we're liberated and made citizens OF this
country. where they had formerly been slaves.
They will vet realize that Virginia aud the
Car,linas and Georgia shall be richer and
nobler. freer and purer, than they would
have been 90 long ~ part Of their people
were held in bondage. They will realize that
what was their loss through emancipation
has become their strength, and they will re-
joice that nothing now remains to mar the
unity or cloud the destiny Of our country,
and their country. So then. their fellow
citizens having asked them to surrender seces-
sion and abandon slavery. to enfranchise their
colored fellow citizens, they did everything
reasonable and proper TO make our triumph
perfect. Now we say. and they say. let hatred
and bitterness, let contention and jealousy
perieh forever. tApplausel Let MS forget
that we have fought. Let US remember only
that we have made peace. Let ~ cay that
there shall be no degradation, no people over
whom We triumph. Our triumph is their tn
umph. Oar triumph Is tho uplifting Of every
