that man can exercise his inalienable |
right TO govern himself. Liberty and |
equality and fraternity become under |
our government happy facts and not
the tigments of mere dreamers. The |
rights OF the whole country and all its |
parts were preserved with equal fidelity.
The little State of Delaware shares in
the glory OF the Union equally with
the princely Commonwealth of Geor-
gia, and with its greater sister Penn
sylvania, and with the Empire State
OF New York. Time has proved the
wisdom of our constitution, and set it's
seal upon that renowned work. Once
indeed was it threatened, but that
great conflict, now happily forgotten,
though full of sorrow, leaves no re-
grets. 1t was great contest of honor
able men for honorable causes, and
what country would not be enriched
by the memory Of the brave jackson,
the intrepid Sheridan, the courtly
Lee, and the honest Grant Love is
not love that docs not know the sweet
ness of fergiving." Mutual mistakes
are freely recognized and reconciliation
sweeter by the enlargement, binds us
with hoops of steel in a firmer union.
We know that the hour OF dissension
had passed forever when you sent to
our banquet tables and halls of com
merce that brilliant writer, unrivalled
orator, and pure gentleman, the i'm
mortal Grady. The North heard the
pleading beauty Of his voice and hear
ing her heart was touched. The mes
sage OF peace which he brought was
| like strain Of sweet music to her soul.
Dying in the work he cherished most,
dying TO promote the peace Of the
people, mourned by the North and
South, weeping together at his grave
over their common loss, his work lived
after him and found its happiest ex-
preston in that peaceful meeting of
the two great armies on the battlefield
of Chicamaugua.
Secure now in the permanence Of a
greater Union, let us discharge with
fidelity the duties which that Union de-
mands. A Republic will exist as long as
its people are virtuous, and when they
become vicious it 10 the death knell Of
liberty. Let us bring to the discharge
OF our Give duties the same ideals Of
spotless honor which We cherish for
our private conduct. Let us give to
the State the best work OF our hearts,
our minds, and our hands, that the re-
public nourished by the blood of pa
triots, by the service of statesmen, and
the virtues Of citizens may receive no
injury at our hands, but may continue
to preserve for our posterity, invioate
and untarnished, the priceless blessings
of liberty, posterity and independence.
