A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE.

Among all of the tributes paid the
South by Northern men none exceed
in beauty or eloquence the following.
spoken before the Union League Club,
of Chicago, by Senator Hoar. of
Massachusetts:
II know how sensitive our Southern
friends are on this matter ofsocial equal
ity and companinnship. and l think
might say fairly and properly-and that
perhaps | have right TO say it-that il
is not wise for the people Of the North 70
undertake TO deal rashly oreven to Judge
hastily ola feeling so deeply implanted in
their bosoms.
Time. the great Reconciliation. viii rec
oncile them to that il in the nature Of
things and in the nature of man they
ought to be reconciled toit. Andif in the
nature of things aud in the nature Of
mau time does not reconcile them. it will
be sign that they ought not 10 he rec
onciled to it: and that some other mode
of life for them must be devised
Now. my friends. having said what I
thought to say on this question. perhaps
| may be INDUCED in adding that. a.
though my life politically and personally
has been a life OF almost constant strife
with the leaders OF the Southern people.
yet as | grow older | have learned nor
only to respect and esteem bur 60 love
the great qualities which belong to nv
fellow-citizens of the Southern States.
They are anoble race. Wemay well take
pattern from them in some of the great
virtues which make up the strength ae
they make the glories of the free States.
Their love of home; their chivslrous re-
- -. 0
icate sense of honor; their cOnstancy
which can abide by an opinion or a pur-
pose or an interest for their States
through prosperity and through al
versity. through the years and
through the generations. are thirgs
by which the people Of the more mercurial
North may take a lesson. And there Is
another thing-covetousness.c corruption.
the low temptation of money has not
yet found any place in our Southern pol
itics.
Now, my friends. we cannot afford to
live, we don't wish to live. and we do
not live, In state OF estrAngement from
a people who possess these qualities.
They are friends % ours: born OF our
borning; flesh of our flesh; blood OF our
blood, and whatever may be the tenn
porary error of any Southern State. ].
Massachusetts, say to her, ~Entreat me
not TO leave thee nor 10 return from
following after thee. For where thou
goest | will go, and where thou stayest
1 Will stay also. And thy people shall be
my people, and thy God my God"
Such words as the above from such
a man as Senator Hoar will meet
warm appreciation among our South
ern people, and their utterance by
such a representative man brings the
North and South closer together.
When men of the North shall be will
ing to speak such sentiments and
men of the South to reply in kind,
then shall be brought about a COM
plete reunion not only of the States,
but OF sections as well, and in this
contamination sectionalism will be
obliterated.
