needs no words from his lips to tell us where
his sympathies are in this great movement of
past life, his public history and character,
speak louder than any word he could say on
this occasion. Therefore it is meet, / think,
that l shall simply ask our friend and Chris
tian brother to rise and pay his respects to
this audience. feeling that in the peculiar
situation in which he is placed his speaking
here on such an important occasion will not
be misconstrued, and l believe he is
the last man in the world to use
any such occasion for political capital.
These associations are banded together, not
for the purpose of keeping this or that man,
but for saving the country for God and
eternity" After a few further remarks. MIR.
