no tribute to public morality so marked

their friend and leader, they also consent
that he and they shall retire from posi-

Gen. FORESTS Speech.

The signs of peace and reconciliation
multiply The traternal feeling which
shone SO conspicuously at Boston, and was
reflected from all portions of the South,
by the telegraph and press, is being rein
forced by thousands OF kind deeds and
words in North and South The good
work is speeding on, and will soon accom-
plish its patriotic mission Of entire recon
citation. The foolish and misguided par
tisans who still preach the doctrine of
hate, and persist in shaking the bloody
shirt, can have no effect in staying the
great work 1t is manifest destiny and is
sure Of accomplishment, that we are to be
an united people.
One Of the most significant events in that
connection is the speech recently made by
General Forrest, at Memphis, in response
to the presentation OF bouquet by Miss
Lou Lewis, Il good looking mulatto, as
representative OF u colored association
