The addresses delivered on the occasion of
the late decoration days in the North and the
South, says the Baltimore Sun, exhibited q
most fraternal and concilfatory spirit, one
worthy to characterize like commemorations
hereafter, and indicate rapid obliteration of
those merely offensive issues which partisan
newspapers and rabid politicians generally
have struggled SO hard to perpetuate. Gen.
Burnside, in his address at Antietam National
Cemetery, referred charitably to those whose
system Of political instruction had led them
into opposition to the government in the late
war, and per.inently asked, t.Migh. We not
have been led in the same direction under like
circumstances 2" at the memorial meeting
in the Academy Of Music, New York, to COM
plete the services of decoration day, Gen.
Woodford said: t.Does any one seek to recall
old prejudices Of class and race? He is no
friend of the Union. Does any one seek, for
self or partisan success, to set white against
black, or black against white2 He is NO
friend of the Union. Does any one seek to
deny to loyal corners in any part of the South
full citizenship, complete protection and hearty
welcome because such corners wore the fed
eIal blue in other days? He is NO friend to
the Union. Does any one seek to tauut loyal
subjects of the law and keepers of the peace,
because such wore the gray in days of battle
He is no friend of the Union The land is
one."
