as B., moved also BY honest convic-
ton, had to take up arms in behalf OF
the union cause. ! With each it was
a question of conscience and duty
For our part, we conscientiously be-
lieved that the rebel cause was q
wrong cause, a, cause that shoull be
suppressed by force of arms. So be-
lieving, and urged on by duty, we en-
listed and served as soldier in the un-
ion army. We have never seen the
day nor the hour in which we regret
ted that step. But at the same time
we knew, whatever may have been the
motives Of the orginators of the rebel
lion, that the great mass Of Its soldiers
was composed of earnest, honest men,
who were battling for what they es-
teemed to be the right. We respected
their conviction. hcnorel their devo-
ticn to that conviction, and admired
their courage in mantainin it on the
battle. field. We did not esteem them
outlaws and criminals then: we do not
esteem them as unworthy Of friend
ship, respect and trust. In our deal
ings and intercourse with them we call
up no memory, no animosity Of the
past. They have the same right to
enjoy all tho privileges of citizenship
that we have. They are as good and
true and loyal citizens as we are. We
vote for them freely and ungrudging-
inglx when they are nominated by
conventions of our party. When the
war ended we ceased to be a federal
soldier and they ceased to be reb,l
soldiers. We are all fellow citizens
and fellow democrats.
