Democracy" the love of freedom and
self government. He said it was not
for the small wages or the hope of a
pension that the men of the north left
their homes and families and all that
was dear to them on earth and went to
the field of battle, marching ut times
with tongue swollen for the want of
water and wading in places almost
ankle deep in human blood and facing
the bayonet and cannon. But it was for
the love of freedom, not only for the
negro but for the white man of the south
and the white man of the north. 1t
may be needless to say here that Pro-
fessor Atkinson held his audience for
one hour and a quarter while he poured
out to them with oratorical voice and
gesture, this historical and cultured adj
dress. We congratulate the Granny Ar
my of Putney for having secured such
an able man for the day.
