length OF the address unsulted to your
columns but as compromise sub
NIT the following extracts
81 suggest that it is proper that we
here mlngle our sympathies and devo-
tions, with those OF our fellow.cltizens
throughout the land, IN the solemn,
and unwelcome truth, that the first Cit
izen of the Republic is fallen-that
Grant is dead. The mighty, the wise,
the just, the guardian of liberty, the
protector of the oppressed, the patriot,
is no more.
From the waters of the St. Law
rance to the Rio Grande 4; from the
shores of the atlantic TO the distant
Pacific, what sublime moral spectacle
is this day presented to the gaze of the
civilized world. And may we not add
confidently that it is one on which God
himself looks down with appreciation
and complacency.
The spectacle to which We refer is
not an empty show, or a mere mock
cry of grief. reluctantly displayed by a
nation of slaves, upon the loss of one
who has basely trampled upon their
liberties, and ruled them with rod of
iron but it is the spontaneous out
pourings of million of freemen on
the loss of one they twice delighted to
elevate to the highest office in their
gift. With noble forgettulness of all
party ties, persons of every creed,
both civil and religious, unite with the
utmost cordiality to testify their pro-
found respect for the departed hero,
statesman and patriot. Every minor
consideration is merged into the sad
and overwhelming consideration that
the whole country has been be.
reft of one OF its greatest benefactors.

to-day, that he had none of those

Last Saturday afternoon the pro-
gram of the memorial services was
carried outas published last week ex-
cepting that the exercises were held in
the park. hev. Martindale delivered
a very able address which was we'll re-
celved. Mr.. E. E. Cowperthwaite, of
Washington, and G. NJ. Mcclure, of
this city who had respectively worn the
Hue and gray, paid eloquent tributes
to the dead hero. While they were
speaking men wept like children, and
the exercises closed with that iraternal
feeling winch will ever characterize
the true soldier, who fought on either
side. The attendance was large and
the impressive ceremonies aroused that
sympathetic feeling IN the breasts Of
all that will never re forgotten.

we wished it, we were awakened by
