Tho American people, whatever faults thcy may
have had have never been wanting in love Of thor

enough for, IN Its efforts 10 improve tho human
race; but We some OF U.S. had an undue
when We imagined It great enough
Tor two countries, shat our territory. population
and our power was large enough to mako two nations
but that idea has been dispeled, aud nov, hereafter
and forever We are one people, and grcat people, and
now, having by course Of politics in the past by
discordant division OF our institutions, by a line
right through the middle OF this Un'on which

border lines where they join upon other nationsbut
for two generations VIC have had u line OF Border
States through This great country But this Is ali
changed ana that line has gone forever, AMI now
one can draw tho line between Ohio and hcntucky,
between New York and Pennsylvania There re-
mainod ono other line In every iamily of America,
tween The armies on fhe ono sido and the other
That something Zigzag, for II did not run very
straight IN Missouri nor 10 kentucky, nor IN Ten
and do say TOO much when ask vi you 10 agree
with me that by the wisdom ana patriotism OF Tho
President OF the United Statcs that line has bcen
obliterated? Now, the President has alluded

moro than the South The great Persian said
mat tho youth OF Persia taught three
things-to rde 10 shoot and to speak the truth, and
our Youth on both sides having learned 10 rIdo ana
shoot let US all speak tho truth to another Now
gentlemen, We have all come together after learning
The terrible lesson, and one such lesson is sufficient
Let no part Of our vast country have another conflict
between armed men, (Applausc.)
