THE REAL HEROES

The REAL HEROES.
The war was closed by the courage of sol
oiefs, NOS by statesmen, not by generals.
They did their part, but we sustained our
government, maintained Its integrity by the
force, courage, and power of the men who
carried the musket and held the sabre. Re-
member, il 10 not generals, colonies, cap
tsins, or majors that preserved TO us this
heritage OF liberty and equality which we
received from our ancestors. We owe il to
the common soldier. Where 10 he? he 10
not elevated. He served his country faith
fully, and he is nov serving his country by
his labor. We find that when the war
closed men who clsmored most that Rebels
should be Ahot, we're msu who surrounded
camps, who were quArtermasters by profess
sion, who bought cattle and horses. / could
name some of them to you tonight. |
could tell you the names of some who fat
tened on army contracts. Now they call
man who darss to assert his independence and
his right as an American citizen Q traitor.
And, | know that-when the country Was
bleeding at every pour, when every house
hold had lost its favorites, when there was
blood upon every doorsill, when the graves
of our brave men were in every cemetery 10
the State, when every breast blazed with en-
thusiasm, and whom the soldier, to save his
Government, marched into the jaws of
death, these men furnished camps with
horses, oats and hay, and fattsned, and they
we're for hanging the Rebels. OF all the
men engaged in the war, the most forgiv
ing men were those who fought it out. We
all advised men to 60 to the war, did it
with others. The soldier forgsve aud for
got; the real soldier, not the sham soldier.
The real soldier soon forgot his injuries, and,
with e desire to make this country prosper
