THE MARCH AT SARATOGA.

Rochester, N. Y, Chronicle.-Gov,
Hughes was deeply impressed by
what he saw of the Grand Army en-
cmapment and parade at Saratoga
He discoursed upon 1t there, and again
| in the introduction Of his speech at
| the state fair in Syracuse.
81 can never forget that spectacle .
said the governor Those men, bow,
ed with age, marching through the
streets to testify to their patriotism
and their Low for their country. AS
saw those old men I thought of what
the Union really meant"
The governor does not permit mere
sentiment to sway his judgment; but
the scene that is always presented
when the veterans Of the great waE
are on parade is suggestive of senti,
ment so large, deep and lofty as to
sway the calmest and most self-poss,
essed mind.
The civil war was great in it's mag.
nitude, its losses and it's cost; but it
was greater in the convictions NAT
sustained the tremendous strife
through four long and terrible years
Then, as in all conflicts with arms.
there was a percentage of adventures
and mercenaries in the ranks; but
they were the mere froth of the
mighty, tempestuous sea that was
stirred to it's depths by the great
issues at take.
In 1898, when our war with Spain
broke out, the response to the call
for troops was spontaneous and patri-
otto; but comparatively few of the
young men who then enlisted under
the flag had more than a superficial
knowledge of the causes that led UP
to the strife. Perhaps large portion
were more inspired by the catch
phrase the Maine"-than
by any other consideration.
But it was different in 1861. Presi-
heard and answered by hundreds OF
thousands who had come to manhood
during the long conflict in Congress
and in the press over the extension Of
slavery.
On the side of the North they be-
lieved that the cause Of human liberty
as well as the integrity of the Union
were threatened. They had read
Uncle Toms Cabin" Helpers ''Im-
pending Crisis" Charles Summers ire
menGous indictment in the Senate
chamber of the institution of slavery.
the Lincoln and Douglas debates, and
Horace Greeley's editorials in the New
York Tribune. They had listened to
Wendell Phillips chaste, keen-edged,
incisive addresses, Henry Ward Beech
ers and Douglass glowing eloquence
from the platform. They had march
ed as Wide Awakes," with cap and
cape and torch in the Lincoln cam
paign.
When these men vent to the war
they were equipped with more tnan
guns and swords; they were insl ired
with an enthusiasm for principles and
sustained by convictions for which
they offered their lives, and thousands
upon thousands a4ed their faith with
their hearts blood.
1t is not strange, therefore, that
when the governor saw the forms OF
the now aged survivors of that heroic
struggle marching through a SeDtem-
Der storm he thought of what the
Union really meant"

His counsel declared that the with,
