AN ELOQUENT GRAFTON
Delivered by Rev. Father Danehy a,
ST. Mary'S Cemetery.

Rev. Patrick Danelly, of st. Stoph-

Grafton OH Decoration day ut st. Mary's
cemetery. He said:
Members of the Grand Army and
Fellow Citizens: We are assembled to-
day to perform a duty doubly sacred
to honor the memory Ct our heroic
dead. The men whose ashes consecrate
this ground gave up their lives that
our country might live. When seces.
sion threatened the country's very life,
and even among the foremt st in the
land We're found those who wished to
rend the nation in twain. our volun-
teers of 1861 at their country's call
,sprang to their country's rescue. Their
hearts were true for they beat respon-
sive to the sentiment of loyalty. They
did not hesitate. nor. like the MERGE
nary, wait until their services We're
bought with gold. Without hope of
gain or fear of death they laid their

They fought for noble cause and
died for it like heroes. Were we a
nation, or were we but a 10 sc aggre-
cation of autonomous states? Some
held the one view, seine the other
Men had thus disagreed since the days
of Washington. The gulf that divided
them had grown wider with the years
Finally, in 1861, eleven of the sister
states declared that they were and of
right ought to be free and Independent
states, and withdrew from the Union.
In defense of that principle they
fought, and with them, thank God,
that principle fell. Yet be it said in
truth and justice, from Sumpter in 81
to Appomattox in 'G5 no drawer foe
than they ever gave battle for any
cause
On the other hand the great major

tanned that we We're and ever must re-
main a nation made up, not of PROV

then and forever one and inseparable.
For this doctrine they fought, and
with them this doctrine stands the adj
miration and the envy of the world.
For this basic principle alone the war
Of 1861 was waged and won. Mr..
Lincoln in his inaugural address Of
that year said: II have no purpose
directly or indirectly to interfere with
the institution Of slavery in the states
where it exists. I believe that have
no lawful right to do so, and I have
no inclination to do So" This emphat-
ic declaration he repeated again and
again as the war went on. 'N1y para

There are few Americans who have
