The achievements of the soldiers OF the
civil CT war, have given US the United. States
soldiers upon land and upon sea killed organ
lied secession and saved the Union. Without
those soldiers there would be today no United
states. dozen OF petty republics, writhing
In the agonies of discord and revolution, would
lie scattered between Atlantic and Pacific
shores-each one so small and unimportant
that her people could own no pride and
the nations of the earth should neglect and
scorn her. The union Of states in the obliga-
tory and perpetual submission of state gov
ernments in all national interests to the CEN
trail government in Washington is the vital
condition of strength and prosperity to the
territory. The victories that the veterans
are celebrating in Buffalo preserved the
Union and endowed it with Immortality.

spective posts and on each coat was
fastened a badge bearing the name of
the prison in which the wearer had

cheers became deafening
