Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1879-08-27

the desperate pluck in the slaughter-pens OF Fred
ericksburgh, the fierce assault and capture Of
Marye's Heights the charges and recapture Of the
guns at Gettysburgh, the fearful slaughter In the
Wilderness, the bloody charge and heroic endu-
rance in front Of the breastworks at spotisyvania,
in the deadly fight at Winchester the brilliant
and daring encounters and glorious victories at
Fishers Hill, and Cedar Creek, and the browning
triumph at Petersburgh in April, 1865, make up
a record which the people OF Vermont and the
whole country may well be proud OF, and demon
strate the fact that time has not dampened the
patriotism or extinguished the fires OF liberty In
your hearts which once burned in the hearts Of
those whose hoDored names you bear and who
erected and transmitted to the rich Inheritance
which your valor has preserved and which we to-
day enjoy. Well may we exclaim In the pure
and blazing light Of this history, Happy the state
which can boast OF such sons, and thrice happy
the country which has such defenders.
:" Let II also be remembered to the undyi honor
OF the women OF Vermont that nearly onetbird
of the soldiers which state sent into the
service required, account OF their homage, the
consent Of parents to their enlistment into the
service Of their country. To give that consent
must have involved conflict ~ keen, a forgetful-
ness Of self rs complete, devotion to country as
perfect as was ever required at the hands Of any
citizen in any country in any age Of the worlds
history. And the wives the sisters, the mothers,
the daughters, and the betrothed--let them never
be forgotten when the labors and sacrifices Of
Vermont are recounted Each aud all surrendered
all that they loved most dear earth at the call
OF the repubc they gave infinitely more than
treasure, for they gave that for which each would
gladly have given life itself Most nobly did
they contribute TO the record Of honor and wreath
Of victory which the soldiers of our noble COM
monwealth have earned
But while we meet here to-day in joyous re-
union with the living, let us not forget those who
have filled the last full measure OF their devotion
to country; answered their last rol-call on earth
and gone to their reward When | look around
me for each familiar face. | find aasl that they
are not all here. look for them and call their
names in vain. Foster, and Stone, and Roberts,
and Tyler and Barney, and Preston, and Dudley,
and Chamberlain, and Cranda and Cummings,
and Dillingham;, and Buxton, and Jarvis, and
johnson, and host of others no less worthy, no
less patriotic, you cannot hear my voice No
sound but that of the archangels trump shall
henceforth penetrate your narrow cells. You will
live hereafter in the hearts and grateful mem.
