and contented people, and which has been
the means of arousing throughout the world
a better and greater conception of Ameri-
can citizenship.
Those who paid with their lives for the
preservation of the republic have not died
in vain Their sacrifices are a deathless
example, and will at all times be an in
spiration. No matter what the future
holds in store for this great republic the
history made by the volunteers of 1861
1865 is immortal and will always be used
as a text book in private and in public life.
1t Is only now, after more than forty years
have gone into history. that the American
people are beginning to realize the value
and Importance of that great struggle.
While seemingly at the time it unfor-
tunate for our southern brethren yet it
has been demonstrated since that 1t was
blessing in disguise. and that the Union.
which was considered a rope of sand. has
been strengthened and intensified that 1t
Is now an iron band. united In purpose, de-
voted to each others interest and all bat
Ting and working for the higher interests
of the republic. Nothing that we can say
or do can bring this home more clearly
than the very fact that those who fought
in the blue and the gray on either bank OF
the Potomac, have since the civil war
closed. been fighting side by side for the
preservation Of the flag. the extrpation on
American soil of European tyranny. and In
no part of the republic were these victories
hailed with more satisfaction and pride
than they were in the southern portion
thereof. May it ever continue thus May
the day never dawn when sectfonalfsm or
misfortune befalls our country. and may
the priceless heritage which the glorious
volunteers of 81 have left us be perpetuated
and transmitted to future generations, to
the glory of God and the betterment OF
mankind. Long live the republic"
