the following brlet speecn:
"MY FRIENDs-Wua l have seen in
LoulsY,!le mas led me tor the first time
10 doubt the success of the efforts that
are making 10 paci,y y this Country. When
We arrived iii Louisville we found all
Kentucky and Indiana here to welcome
US, ANA Tonight both Kentucky and In
diana are here to receive US. The eX-
CessiYe intercourse between the Sec

Ii is the best evidence we have
that pacIticatlon already prevails.
can't fnd words TO express
he great qualification your welcome
has gwen me. The people Of Kentucky
and the people OF Ohio have harmOnlzed
in the IDEAS that have formed the pacific
policy OF to-day, and that idea has its
origin in the great principle that the
Government should regard all people OF
all sections of the country alike. This
forms the cornerstone OF the policy that
makes the country free Nation and the
Government Government for the well
fare Of all its citizens"
In conclusion, the President intro

England or the South, there has been
one verdict: That what is well meant is
also we'll DONE"
The President then introduced Judge

Southern man in the Cabinet, this well

capable of controlling their own affairs
Loyalty. There is now no Federal SOL

been through all the States OF the Union,
and everywhere have seen the same
spirit, the same earnest desire for The
peace OF all sections. The Ohio River
may be the boundary between the State
OF Kentucky and Indiana, but it is no
longer the dividing line between the
North and the South"
At the close of General Keys speech,
Secretary Thompson was called for, but
