In the United States the experiment
Of free government has reached its ma.
turity. We have passed through a SEQ

Mexico. and numerous contests with
adjacent Indian tribes but last and
greatest of all, the war between the

American Government, and every
part of IL in resources, energy
patriotic endeavor and heroism which
caused the whole civilized world TO look
upon US. Fellow Georgians, sad and
dreary as we're those four years Of de-
vsstasiug war, and painfully conscious
Of the intense strain upon our manhood,
the desolats homes which never can be
glad and the broken hearts which can
never be healed. yet looking TO the edu
cation and future development Of a
great people and the lessons taught IN
those years Of strnRele and the equally
valuable lessons IN years that have since
come and gone, venture 20 assert that
the struggle WAS xorth all IL cost. The
people Of the various sections of
this country pow understand each
other much better they ever did
before. The North knows that

exhibitions Of fiery temper and capable
of much ebullltion snd explosion. with

and endurance. Fer four years Of var.
and AZ least four more OF loneliness and
poverty. which filled and satisfied them,
the whole world knows how wrongly ws

that The North IL nos 50 absorbed IN its
money bags that 10 will not shed its
blood and risk its all even for senti

the var between the States has been to
show conclasively that IL Is not the in
tention OF great majority OF the people
of this country to permit any State TO
withdraw itself from the Union, and
that they have the physical power to
prevent IL. That much has been
settled by the war. but no fundsmen-
tai principle of government has
been changed. As GeorRians We are
also citizens Of the Uuit d States and

every man Of every section his Just due.
