their dead We will live and triumph and
never die; but if die we must 1--WE will die
with
Our backs to the field
And feet to the foe.
We are born of Freedom, baptized with war
and consecrated to the genius and mission
and glories of the Republican party.
We withstood the fire when it took stout
hearts to stand the danger; and the glory Is
ours Let us preserve it forever and ever
more Let those who have fallen and wan
dered come back ere yet it is too late. Oh
the glad and leaping blood OF true valor! How
it will assert ITSELF mounting higher with the
height of danger and overlapping all that is
base and cowardly and mean.
Lay the young eagle in what nest you will
The cry and SwOOp of eagles overhead
Nbrate prophetic in its kindred frame,
And make it spread its wings and poisc itself
For the eagle flight.
March on, oh Republicans, standing true
and leal to all your associates and all your
cause

Bradley and others, Mr.. Mighels said in con-

going to cast your first ballot. Don't go
wrong. You will regret it all your lives if
you do not stand firm by the party of pro-
gress and freedom Remember the words of
the Persian poet:
The moving finger writes,
And having writ, moves on,
Nor all your pety nor wit,
Can lure it back to cancel half lire,
Nor all your wipe out word Of it.
As to myself and my calumnators, let me
say in all valor and all patience and all hope
fulness, that they have not hit one spot of my
good armor where any hnrt can come to me.

broken and dismembered fragments of our
glorious party; but our banners shine IN
the Iioht Of morn, the earliest rays of glory
shall await them, and ''parting day shall
hnger and play about the summit of their
achievement. Go, my friends, where glory
waits the brave, the true and the loyal; go
out of here determined to stand by one an
other as brothers who are assaulted and i'm
periled by a common danger and most I'M

upon your lips; 90 with renewed memories o.
Baker, of Sed9ewick, of Lyon, of McPher-

Farragut and not forgetting Semmes; 90 full
