one of his brilliant orations and received
great applause during and after the close
of his remarks. He said:
Our country got her escutcfeon from no
royal seals. but earned her right to it by
the valor of her sons on many fed. We
honor you not because you fought for con-
quest and dominion. but because !. you
fought for humanity and country. that from
the Atlantic to the Pacific there should be
a unity of states. We are not u warlike
people. When we fought we fought fer
some good cause. First, in 1778 to throw
off the dominion of a kingly yoke; second,
In 1872, because our right to administer our
affairs we wished was again questioned !;
third. in 184a, that the republic of Texas
might set her star In the galaxy of ma
