Thirteenth Ward Club.
At the installation of the officers of
the Thirteenth Ward Central Club, Mr..
l.. l.. Bower, the President, after coun-
selling harmony among the member
ship and thoroughness Of organization,
spoke as follows:
The national nominees Of the Demo
cratic party, during the civil war which
prevailed from 1861 to 1865. were earnest
and persistent in their efforts to main
tain intact the National Government.
When the crisis was most imminent,
their eloquent and patriotic utterances
aroused the. enthusias OF the multi
al. Ia ipl, tf 1nfn # a
national flag. On either side were
arrayed the talent and chivalry of their
respective sections, each equally patri-
otto and intent on the accomplishment
Of the purpose for which the struggle
was inaugurated. The vindication OF
the motives and principles which con
trolled the actors in that fearful strug
gle is remitted to the impartial his
torian. for history will assuredly record
its verdict and shape the judgment OF
posterity.
When, however, the unnatural strife
was ended, and the national ensign
floated everywhere as the emblem OF an
undivided nation, no Smouldering feel
ings OF hatred ranked in the bosoms of
our chosen political chieftains, awaiting
only an opportune season to be again
| rekindled against those who had sur
rendered their arms and sworn, anew,
| fealty to the Government. No, with
them 1t was genuine peace, an entire
reconciliation.
! The gates of Janus had been closed
and our chosen candidates of pacilica-
ton and reform realized that the duties
OF the warrior were ended and believed
that civil law should again resume its
supremacy They desired that the un-
numbered dwellings which. in the track
| II n h 4
be again rebuilt, and that the countless
acres which in the march Of the invad-
| ing foe had been laid waste might be
again restored to their wonted fertility
and beauty.
Whatever of alienation the war may
have occasioned, they would, by the
memories of a more distant past, and
the hopes of still glorious future, OBJ
literate the angry passions that had
been engendered, and thus rebind the
sections of this broad land in an indis-
soluble bond Of union. Such traits oil
character, combined with lofty states
Inanship and purity Of private and pub
| lie life, must win the alfestions and Sc
cure the support of the American peo-
pie. The voice OF the Sybil has spoken
and the ides of November will send 10
the capital of the nation, to shape its
destinies for the years to come,
Samuel j. Tilden, of New York, and
Thos. A. Hendricks Of Indiana, and,
under their firm yet kindly sway, the
asperities of the past will be obliterated
and contented and united people, ami
mated by the feelings OF a common
brotherhood, will keep step to the music
of the Union, cheered by the conscious
ness that once again they are the mem
| bers of distinct States yet one country,
that country prosperous and happy, a
beacon light to the surrounding nations,
and within itself the witness of man 3
capacity fol self-governmcnt.
