a letter from Gladstone was the on
ly response to the toast OF "England
and the United States" The follow
ing IL an extract from the letter: In u
retrospective view Of that eventfnl
period, my colntrymen can now con-
template It's incidents with impartiali-
ty. do not think they should severe
ly blame their ancestors whose strug-
ish empire Is one that must, | think,
after the late great war of the north
and south, be revived I'm America with
the same sympathy and indulgence.
We can hardly he expected to envy
highly the motives of those other pow
ers who threw their weight in the 9TH
Ell scale, and who sensibly contributed
toward determining the issue of the
war, yet, for one, l can most truly say
that whatever motives and however
painful the process, they, while seek
ing to do an injury: conferred upon us
II great benefit by releasing us from eff
forts the continuation of which would
have been an unmiXed evil.
AS regards the fathers of the Ameri-
can constitution themselves, believe
we can and do now contemplate their
great qualities and achievements with
an admiration MS pure rs that OF
American citizens themselves, and
can rejoice no less hearty, that in the
councils of providence they were made
instruments of n purpose most benefi-
cial to the world. The circumstances
under which the United States began
their national existence and their un-
eXampled rapidity of advance in
wealth and population, enterprise and
power have imposed on their peOple
an enormous responsibility. They will
be tried, as we shall, at the bar of his
tory, but on greater scale. They will
be compared with men not only of
other countries but of other times.
They cannot escape from the liabilities
and burdens which their greatness I'M
poses on them. No one desires more
fervently than l do, that they may be
enabled to realize the highest hopes
and anticipations that belong to their
great position in the histories of man.
"The North and South In response
to II complimentary call of the pres
ident, General William +. Bartlett, of
Massachusetts, made u remarkable and
beautiful speech in reply to this toast.
Referring to the. southern soldiers he
said, in conclusions: GAS an Amer
lean, / am proud of the men who
charged so bravely with Pickett's di-
vision on our lines ut Gettysburg, as |
am of the men who bravely met and
repulsed them there. Men can not al
ways chose the right cause, but when
having chosen they are ready to die for
it. If they justify not their cause, they
are at least ennobled themselves, and
men who for conscience sake fought
against the government at Gettys-
burg ought easily to he forgiven by the
SOILS of men who for conscience sake
fought against their COVE; nment at
Lexington and Bunker Hill. Sir, as
Massachusetts was first in war, so let
her be first i'm peace, and she shall for
ever be first in the hearts of her coun-
trymen.
