The third aod last thought sugges

that the oc a don appeals to our

equally true. Should wo build tio

moat solid foundations of our mau-

patriotism of our people, T e soldier
or the eh ziu of the north or the
south who would frown upon scenes

not esteem the renown won by both

Aud now, without the possibility,
I trust, of beiug misconstrued in
spirit or purpose l-y i liner the nort)
or the south, I will group together
some of the indisputable facts con
nected with that mighty struggle.
Juaiice to the cor quored sou:h, to
those who fell and tu those who sur
vived, ts well as to their descendants,
litmaui a the production aud repro
duction of these facta until tiiey be
come familiar in every household in
the laud. Truth, sclf-reapeot and
siuthern manhood demand It. F-n
trlotism itself den ande it. The
statesmanship and spirit of liberali'y
of ihe north will sauctioa it. The
danger is that injustice will be done
to the conquered and not to the con
queror. Iu the average estimation of
mankind, vioiory vindicates, while
defeat dooms to misconstruction.
I introduce these statistics by res
marking that it is difficult lo obtain
any sd-quate conception of the cost
ot that war to the country. Perhaps
this gigantic expenditure will be more
readily appreciated when I state that
if expended in steel tracks it would
have constructed enough miles < f
railway to have reached more than
eight times around the whole ear ;h.
But let us oome to the details. The
original colonies wnich rebelled
against the mother country and ee
tablished their independence were
thirteen in number. The snuiliert.
states wl'icb sought thelrindepend-
e .ee wer- also thirteen in number.
These thirteen, including the hold r
