n delivery, was upon on, duties as citizens,
AZ and was listened TO with the cl)ses, atten-
!. i. ton. In closing, the judge said
~ although the work of our deceased
1T comrades on earth is done and their last
TO | battle has long srce been fought, their
n bright example still remains TO inhuence
e, the living, and as the proudest m nument

nents will grow brighter and brighter as
d. | the years pass and the importance of the
to victory gained by our army 10 liberty,
lie | humanity and the world il better appreci-
3 ,ted. Their lsurels will freshen in eternal
OF bloom upon their sepuchers.'
ve Comrades and gentlemen, we have o her
We battles yet TO fight. The world IS a contin-
he ued field of strife, where truh aud error.
ai right and wrong, justice and Unjust ce are
We engaged in mortal combat, each t iving
10 for the victory. In sll these conflicts 1T
isl US battle for the right and reuse al CON-
no promises with the wrong. Lei US be true
ty to our country, our God and ourselves ard
ain Neglect no duty TO the state or The nation.
fel- We cannot reasonably expect TO have
tie another war with foreign enemy upon
ore our own soil. We have already become 50
to strong, and are continually growing siroI g
m er, and our territory is 80 extensive that nc
nation upon the globe will dare to make
ng | war upon US within our own borders.
'ur Neither can we expect another civil WI
icy unless it be the result Of inability, cOrrup
red ton or dishonesty on the part of our rul-
w ers. The prejudices existing before ih'
OF war and engendered by it are dying away
ii and the ties between the ffeIe1t sections
ose of our country are growing stronger Al {
md stronger-eseh section becoming more suc
the more dependent upon the other.
in Our greatest danger is from want of ;
it, Just and true appreciation Up The part O
oily the people of h, nes'y, integr ty and ID i J
re- in our otllce-holders.
in If we continue to elevate to ll.ces o
the | trust ofllce-seekers who are all things tt
en- all men, bu. false alike TO their coustilu
we ents and every principle of honor, our At
tie tachmcnt tc the government will gov les
and less, until we shall be in danger O
ces disintegration as nation.
so Burke has well said "All persons pos
an sessing any portion of power ought to b
lls, | strongly and awfully impressed with al
srs, idea that they act in trust and that the,
,ss, are to account for their conduct in tina
nth trust to the great Master, Author an
the Founder of society"
1cle And, allow me to add, they should ais
the be held to the strictest accountability t
to their constituents and instead of havin
Ugh their dishonesty and corruption colceale>
to or palliated as is often the case, by ser
ira | vile or partisan press, things should b
ght called by their right names, aud il fourt
DRY wanting, they should be either cast asid
ave or consigned to infamy, whichever thel
al their deeds merit.
lese "Peace hsth her victories as well q
old war;" and il ever the American peopl
nse- come to fully and justly appreciate the in
ate portance of having thoroughly honest an
ngs CAPABLE men to make our laws for US al
and rule over US, we shall have achieved a vic
Ella tory the importance of which cannot be Ell
timated.
God only knows where we should be t.
a. day had Abraham Lincoln been selfish, di.
ana honest and corrupt; and tlind indeed mu
to that msn be who fails to see the work {
/ to an overriding Providence in placing a
or. honest man at the head of the governmer
