ADDRESS OF r. ). DE PUY, ESQ.
"Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen :
Once again the funeral chant sounds its
solemn dirqe from shore to shore of the
great Republic. Once again mournful
requiem has been chanted at the door Of
the sepulcher and the tears Of a nation
moisten the earth above it's martial dead.
A spirit of sadness is revived in the
hearts of . great people, as memory
broods for a day over the awful struggle,
that carnival of blood, that contagion Of
war, that, during four weary years, cast
the lurid glare of its camp fires from
center to circumference of this their I'M
happy land. 1t is not to commemorate
a victory won, or to mourn over battle
lost, nor vet is it to foster bitter recol-
lections or keep alive spirit of hate,
that, year after year, as the Goth day Of
May comes and goes. these ceremonies
are hold. But it is because we cannot
forget those faithful defenders, without
whose blood the grandest government
that was ever wrought by the wisdom
IF man, would have been broken and
lismembered, and naught would remain
If the inspiration OF Jefferson and those
wise men of old, but the broken and
scattered columns in the Temple Of
Liberty.
Tell me not that devotion like this to
the heroic dead tends to perpetuate Sec
ional preiudices or 10 the preservation
Il divisional hates. Proclaim IL not that
shers il man or woman born beneath the
,tarrv fac. into whose heart could be
,hed one drop Of bitterness beoause the
Gender hand of loving memory casts
flower wet with the tear Of affection
,pon the grave of Union soldier. The
sffscs is rather to euqender devotion to
country by admonishing the living that
he who dies Ia nreserve and psrnetuate
It's greatness and its glory shall not be
Tor rotten. Thouoh no sculptured
ma .ble marks the repose of the soldier
Had or enorayen brass urocIaims his
hero;c aseds vet shall the earth W. here
he moulders he sacred ground and
through countless vears. at each return.
