judges to be just, for statesmen to
be humane, and for politicians to
be honest. They broke the shackles
from the limbs of slaves, from the
souls of masters, and from the
Northern brain. They kept our
country on the map of the world,
and our flag in heaven. They
rolled the stone from the sepuIchre
of progress, and found therein two
angels, clad in shining garments
Nationality aid Liberty.
The soldiers were the saviors of
the Nation; they were the liberators
of men. In writing the Proclama-
ton or Emancipation, Lincoln,
greatest of our mighty dead, whose
memory IS as gentle as the summer
air when reapers sing amid the
gathered sheaves, copies with the
pen what Grant and his brave COM
rades wrote with swords.
Grander than the Greek, nobler
than the Roman, the soldiers of the
Republic, with patriotism as shore
less as the air, battled for the rights
Of others. for the nobility of labor,
fought that mothers might own
their babies; that arrogant idlep ess
should not scar the back of patient
toll, and that our country should
not be a many-headed monster
made of warning states, but ma
ton, sovereign, great, and free.
Blood was water. money was
leaves, and life was only common
air, until one flag foated over a
republic without a master and
without a slave.
The past rises before us. We
hear the roar and shrek of the
bursting shell. The broken letters
fall. There heroes died. We look.
Instead of slaves we see men,
women and children. The wand of
progress touches the auction block,
the slave-pen, and the whipping
post and we see homes and fire
sides, and schOOlhouses and books,
and where all was want and crime,
and cruelty and fear, we see the
faces of the free.
These heroes are dead. They
died for iberty-they died for us.
They are at rest. They sleep in the
land they made free, under the flag
they rendered stainless. under the
solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the
fearful willows, the embracing
vines They sleep beneath the
shadows of the clouds, careless
alike of sunshine or storm, each in
the windowless palace Of rest.
Earth may run red with other wars
they are at peace. In the midst
of battle, in the roar of conflict they
found the serenity of death.
