Nufthttn ana N0hibtIh sentiment
Considerable fault has been found with
| Gov Woodbury. because he said, at the
dedication Of ChIcamauRa Park that. he
should teach bis children that the South
were wrong 1t is true that he was fol
lowed by Governor Of Que Of the South
ern states who said be should teach bis
children that the Sou was right Here
is conflict Of sentiment and the question
is, was It proper thing for our Governor
on that occasion to allude to the subject
10 the way he did
We think, taking bis speech as a whole,
and We give II below that all may Judge
for themselves, that his remarks shou d
not have been offensive to any night mind
ed Southerner They thought they were
right at the tire Of the war and most OF
them keep On thinking so now. Rev, DR.,
Haygood Of Georgia, one OF the most 10
ielhgent and progressive men 10 the South
not long ago 10 q published letter 80 assert
ed himself But Chioamsuga Park and
every monument erected there and on
every other battlefield Of the war only EN-
phasiz, the fact that the South was wrong,
History, # properly written and in sccor
dance with the facts will tell the same
story. There was lesson IN the war
which should be taught to our children,
and southern children ought to learn it as
we'll as those at the north, We give Gov.
Woodbury. remarks in full.
Vermont has not the honor of having
had any troops IN the great historic bat
ties which were fought upon the fields
which we have met here TO dedicate, but
her patriotic citizens desire to participate
IN ZONE small way 10 these ceremonies,
The Vermont troops served on other fields
With q distinction uneIcelIed by those OF
any state, | believe that these ceremonies
will tend to dispel any luminosity that
may still exist between those people Of the
north and south as they m.uele more and |
become better squslnted With each other. |
Because Of their good qualities each will
esteem the other more highly. This meet
Of the blue aud the gray is a sort Of love
feast IN which the gray sIe taken into full |
with the Union church No
Drawer soldiers ever fought than those of
The south, and vnlor always eIcltes admir-
alton. There is not 10 my section of the
the least betttrLtss or uukiud
Iaehng toward the people Of the south.
We Of the north are willing 10 al that
the south 81 the time thCnght sLe was
right, but Ne csnLot do olbersise than
teach our children that she vas wrong 1t
is hot often that the results VI war are
Of equal advantage 70 tn vatqnished aud
he vlotors, bat | believe that the south
Ess SIS much benefited by the triumph Of
he Uuion army Is was the north. We
ave low al undivided couutry, which,
lnce the close Of the war, has more than
doubled 10 population, and qn4drupled 10
