HIGHLAND CENTER.

Lincoln memorial exercises were
held by w. H. Bennett corps. The
special feature of interest was the at
tendance of large class of children
from the White school, chaperoned by
Miss Hess, the music teacher. The
little folks sang several patriotic
songs, their young voices rising clear
and sweet, and they were led by one
of their number on the French harp
The rhythmic tapping of their feet in
the march as they followed the small
drum major showed that they had ex-
cellent training and had responded
promptly to it.

ONE Of LincoIn's Addresses Forty
Nine Years Ago This Month.

F'orty-nine years ago the 18th of this
month of February, Abraham Lincoln,
having been elected president of the
United States, left his home in Spring
field, Illinois, for Washington, there,
on the 9TH of the following month, to
take the oath of Office and enter upon
the duties of his high position. 1t was
the day before he was fifty-two years
old. He gave an address of farewell
to his hundreds of friends and neigh
bors gathered about the train, and
then sadly turned his face away from
the place which had for many years
been his home and about which many
of the dearest associations of his life
clustered. He spoke at sixteen differ
ent places on his journey to the ma
tional capitol, where he arrived on
the morning of February %, twelve
days after leaving Springfield. All
these addresses are of thrilling in
terest. Three or four of them are put
here where those who wish to do so
can read them. The first is that in
which he babe goodbye, February IL,
1861, to his old friends at Springfield.
Here it is:

you an affectionate farewell.

The following address, delivered at
historical independence hall, where
the declaration of independence was
adopted, was on the 22d of February,
and he raised a United States flag
there In honor of the day:
Speech at Philadelphia, February %.
Il am flied with deep emotion at
hnding myself standing here, in this
place, where were collected the wis
com, the Patriotism the devotion to
principle, from which sprang the instr
tutions under which we live. You
have kindly suggested to me that in
my hands is the task of restoring
peace to the present distracted condl
ton OF the country. l can say in re-
surn, sir, that all the political senti-
ments l entertain have been drawn,
SO far as l have been able to draw
them, from the sentiments which orig
mated and were given to the world
from this hall. / have never had a
feeling, politically, that did not spring
from the sentiments emDocied in the
declaration of independence. have
2ondered over the tolls that were en-.
dured by the officers and soldiers OF
che army who achieved that indie
pendence. | have often inquired of
myself what great principle or idea
It was that kept this confeacracy SC
long together. 1t was not the mere
matter of the separation of the colo
hles from the mother-land. but that
sentiment in the declaration of indie
pendence which gave liberty not alone
TO the people of the country, but. l
hope, to the world for all future time.
1t was that which gave promise that
In due time the weight would be lifted
from the shoulders of all men. This is
sentiment embodied in the declara.
ton of independence. Now. my
friends, can the country be saved upon
this basis? If it can, 1 will consider
myself one of the happiest men in the
world if I can help to save it. If il
can not be saved upon that principle
it will be truly awful.
But if this country can not be
saved without giving up that principle
was about to say / would rather bt
assassinated on this spot than sur
render it. Now, in my view OF the
present aspect of affairs, there neel
be no bloodshed or war. There is n,
necessity for it. / am not in favor o
such a course; and I may say, in ad
vance, that there will be no bloodshet
unless it will be forced upon the gov
eminent, and then it will be compel
led to act in self defense
