A TYPICAL SON.
Some of Secretary Fosters Words at the
WOburn OuartO- Centennial.

WODurn QuarfO-Centennia1.
Secretary Foster the other day in Woburn,
Mass. at the cty's Quarto- Centennial, spoke to
the toast The President Of the United States"
In the course OF his remarks he referred to the
opening of the great Northwest, the emigration
thereto from New England States and the
great Ontburst of patriotism when the war of
secession came. He then continued: II trust
may be pardoned the personal alnsion If
illustrate the point am endcavoring to make
by citing the example OF benjamin Harrison in
that crisis. The date of the firing upon Fort
Sumter found him young lawyer studying
to maintain wife and two little ones by close
attention to his business. Having been an
ontspoken free soile:, his party at the last
election had conferred upon him office of
some responsibility. When the thrill of indig-
nant patriotism flashed throughout the North
with the announcement that the flag had been
fired upon young Harrison's first impulse was
TO volunteer at once
But he found the war quota of Indiana
more than doubly filed and there seemed no
necessity for his services i'll view of the respon
sibilities which rested upon him at home. The
herculean task before the North was not then
realized. Even so astute statesman as Mr..
Seward predicted that the rebellion would be
over in 80 days. Young Harrison had inherited
some of tho characteristics of his Woburn an
cestry. He was man OF peace. OF democratic
habits, and studious tastes. He was willing to
let the men of martial spirit who delighted in
the pomp and circumstance of glorious war;
fill up the first regiments of Indiana, as there
was contest for precedence. But as the great
struggle progressed, and it became evident that
the Nations resources were to be taxed to
their utmost to maintain the Union, the young
lawyer felt that the call of duty WIS to him
also.
"In that crisis of his life did it occur to him
that some one else could do his fighting for
him? No. With sense of personal response
biity, which has always marked his conduct
in private and public life, he proposed to go in
person aud share with his fellow citizens in
the dangers and the honor of saving his country
from ACKNOWLEDGMENT and ruin. He was no
longer the man of peace. 1t was the spirit of
the hero of Tippecanoe and the Thames which
now animated him.
Under a commission as Second Lieutenant
from the Governor he set to work to raise a
company. With a ffer, drummer, and flag
he paraded the streets of indianapolis and
called his neighbors to arms, and under the in
SEPARATION of such example not only the COM
pany, but reg iment was made up: and
as its commander, he marched to the front and
there remained till the last enemy of his coun-
try had laid down his arms and peace again
smiled on united Nation"
