They continue to talk in New Eng
land. General Deyens said: "a few
years ago, the church OF which you are
u part here, was torn and rent assunder
by the great conflict OF arms between
liberty and slavery. Certainly, now
that the great questions involved in
that contest are settled, there il great
reason to rejoice the members of the
church north aud south are again
united"
The president then said; at is not
best for one bred to the law to attempt
to quote scripture, but there 10 some
thing like this. There IL more JOY over
the repenting of one, than over an
hundred that have gone astray. We
have with us u friend, who was for
four years against Us, and more re-
Gently made the mistake of voting
against me, but now on the question
OF integrity and maintenance OF the
union, and on the question OF freedom
and equality Of all men, no man is be-
fore Judge Key"
The postmaster-general spoke as fol-
lows: IL would not be expected that |
should appear here without embarrass-
mont. 1t IL not without feelings OF
sadness that | view this scene. ! am
carried back to my boyhood days,
when in the far distant south, my sun
ny south, attended meetings like
this, for Melhodlsts we found In that
part OF the union, and my father was
an humble minister in your church.
He has been gone now, ten years, and
YOU have heard how ], his own son,
have wandered. / will not attempt to
quote scripture, for | might fall more
significantly than the president, but !
have heard an old hymn that reads
while the lamp holds out 10 burn,
The yiest sinner may return
The fact that General Devins and ]
are here together shows that the prin'
ciples of religion have hold on the
cabinet, II not throughout the whole
country. The people OF New Hsmp-
shire need have no fears Of the people
Of the south. Both political parties
there have endorsed the constitution
and all Of iLs amendments, and the
people have been sOlaced by the presi'
dent and his policy on their good be-
havior, aud am sure they will keep
their faith. thank you sincerely for
this greeting, and | accept II not as a
compliment to myself, but "A mark OF
feeling you have for the people OF the
south.
Secretary Evasts was then intro
duced. lie said:
Ladies and gentlemen When the
founders OF this great government
formed It, they laid its support sure In
civil and religious liberty aud insisted
ON the entire separation Of church and
s,ute. They were guilty OF DO such
| blly as would coniouud freedom In
religion with freedom Of religion.
They wanted tina; ,heIe should be one
seat of united power and that in the
hearts Of the people. They were
religious people themselves, and knew
no method by which men would be
cauable Of selfgovernm bat when
| they were made capable OF governing
themselves. They insisted that though
there we're diversity OF gifts, that there
should he the same spirit. Now, 10
the beautiful scene where all makes
nature and men worthy visitors, y
found, we have seen nothing wanting
in manifeacent Of our reception. AZ
we have ridden through your magnih
cent state, we have seen, as Il were
that mountain skipped for JOY, ant
and now, literally the hills hay'
elapped their hanus. The history o
this people show, that there was neve
a profounder saying than that he VIII
has not much mediiaied OF God An'
