| place shall fifty honor the men we now wish
remembered with gratitude, it will be because
beholding the scenes, and contemplating the

wisely the value of our country and of her
institutions, and be better prepared for the
duties which under Providence have de-

the words of Abraham Lincoln. Let us
here highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain: that the nation under
| God shall have new birth of freedom, and
that a government of the people and by the
people shall not perish from the earth.
