LINCOLN AND LEE.

The memory of Lee and Lincoln
were before the people last week.
In the senate of the United States
foolish attack was made on the
character of Lee by one man. Yes.
terday was Lincoln's birthday.
The attack on Lee is memorable
because only one man made it and
no man answered it,
The bloody shirt no longer exictes
derision or hate. The man who waves
it is regarded either as a cheap dema
gogue or a hopeless fanatic.
The North begins to honor Lee as
the South respects Lincoln.
They were two remarkable men
Lincoln, who was the moving force in
putting down what he held to be a
rebellion, is now esteemed to be the
great democrat and advocate OF per.
sonal and human liberty.
Lee. who led the forces of the Con-
federates and sought to do away with
the old order and establish an indie
pendent separate government, is pre-
eminently the aristocrat of the Con
federacy. Yet in his regard for the
rights of others Cen Lee was keen
and sensitive.
The chief personal characteristic Of
both men was kindness
Lincoln's address at Gettysburg is
the greatest short Grafton that ever
fell from the lips of an American, Lee
in his farewell to his army sounded a
deep note of patriotism and displayed
a greatness of soul in keeping with
the career of the dead Confs8eracy !
