Cincinnati.
The following is the full text of a speech
delivered in Cincinnati, on Wednesday last,
by Rev. DIR. Carmichael, formerly rector of
Grace church, this city:
GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW-CITIZENs OF
CINCINNATI-I do not come here to make a
speech, but in the providence of God | am
glad TO stand in this place to-day. In the
name of scores who have gone beyond the
dark river, whose days were soothed and
sottened by your generous charity, / thank you
To-day the spirits of those persons will look
down upon you for your great charity, and
to-day thank you in the name of the south
for your generous charity IN 1873. In the
name of that great God who looks down upon
you-in His name | thank you. When |
look at your beautiful city and see it teeming
with industry, l trust He may help you to
think of the great suffering in the south at
present, and make us thankful for the bless
ings Of to-day. 1t is with the present we
have to do, and hope you will be stimulated
to generosity. 1t Is the grand sentiment of
the American nation. believe that the
American people viii save this noble Union
from all turmoils to come. (Applaus.
have seen the fairest land deserted that
the sun ever shone upon. l have seen hos
pitfalls where hundreds of smallpox cases
were gathered together, but tell you never
have | seen anything that appropriated to
the upspeakable misery Of the south
at the present. If there is one there
are hundreds of evidences of concen-
trated misery there, and if you mean to do for
that stricken country, that know you mean
to give, ask you to do 1t noto, and to put-lt
upon a systematic basis. The man who gives
quickly gives twice. In the Providence of
God these communities have been stricken
down. You can not conceive of the paral-
ysis of business, of personal intercourse in
those stricken cities. You may walk the
streets of Memphis, and Memphis is not af-
ficted as the city of Vicksburg and Grenada.
Imagine walking the streets of this city, say
at the east end of Third or Fourth
street in the morning, and during the whole
day seeing not living or breathing thing;
yet have seen that in Memphis. l can not
convey to your minds a tenth, nay, not even
a hundredth part of the horrible depression
that is resting over the south. If could do
so, it would quicken every spark of humanity
