‘ AN ELOQUEN T
SPEECH.
•S - . •t '
The following eloquent speech wan
delivered by John L. Colconl at a
meeling in St. Louis, Missouri, of a
Greeley and Brown club, com posed
entirely of those who had served
vliber in the Confederate or Feder
sMy Comrades! (For Audi I may
call you now,mo matter under what
%g you fougltf, or what may have
been the color of the uniform yon
wore.) ~. I greet, you in this auspic-
welcome you to the
Afirbss o? (M
past we clasp each other by the
hand, and, turning our faces to the
future, we marshal our hosts to-day
upon a common roll and beneath a
common banner. [Applause.]
Many of us fought beneath the
‘‘stripes and stare,*’ and many under
the ‘-stars and bars,” and \Ve are all
charitable enough to believe that
each fought for what lie deemed to
he right. Each appealed to (he
sword, and that stern arbiter of fate
has entered up the final decree
' henceforth that the brave shall love
the hrave and tiie nation shall never
be divided.
The “Bonnie Blue Flag” went
down, hut with no dishonor; its
brave defenders will live in history,
bright examples of heroism and de
votion till, Time’s last sickle shall
have run, and we, who met them on
the field, and thus the better know
the story of their deathless valor,
proudly welcome them as worthy
comrades to our love. [Applause.]
The story of the valorous deeds of
the North and the South is the com
mon inheritance of the republic, and
will survive in chronicle and song
forever. We who have met to-night
under the inspiration of just princi
ples and the lead of chosen and gal
lant captains, have come to attend
the funeral of the bitter past and the
bsrth of a hopeful future. ’ln the
language of our great standard bear
er : “We forget that we have been
enemies in the joyful consciousness
that we are and must henceforth re*
main brothers.”
Those who fought against each
other with persistent valor, if un
moved by selfish considerations, tiie
spoils of oflice and the allurements
of power, can cherish no unhallowed,
revenges, and they who cherish the |
wicked dogma of eternal hate are re- j
buked by that spirit of fraterniza-|
flon which evinces to the world that;

though we were ojice Star,
jealousies find lodgment in the brave,
true soldier’s breast. The glory of
the blue would pale without the kin
dred lustre of tile gray ; they are of
one blood, the 1 lardy children of a
common country and the heirs of a
common illustrious name and histo
ry, and tin.- future .-iiall signalize
their devotion to'a common flag and.
acbmnioii constitution.
In the hushed of a sad
business',"nr more humbly borne the
fiction of the ride aiid . rqd of \t||j

Dearaned, while a horde of greedy,
lawless carpet-baggers and swash
jiggers have overrun their one® fair
domain, and ruthless hirelings and
hungry tax gatherers have despoiled
them of their Substance, and an
army has stood over them with
sword and bayonet to enforce obedi
ence to the orders of cruel taskmas
ters.
The time has come when the true
soldiers'of the North have said:
-‘This thing must slop or some Gor
gon horror may arise to ride down
our liberties and ‘iet his sesterces
upon our blood these men are gcod
and true, and brave as we, and they
shall have their rights or your boast
ed freedom is a farce, a sham and a
glaring lie.”
Hence it was that in the breasts
of t ie brave men who wore the blue,
kindly sympathies were awakened
for those who lately wore the gray,
and a holy and magnanimous sense
of justice led them to sunder old par
ty ties‘and enter upon a contest for
an equal liberty for all. The war
and subsequent constitutional a-,
meudments had settled all the great
issues which divided us in the past,
and remitted the adjustment of mi
nor matters to the methods of peace
instead of war; our great fight had
been won—won, too, over as brave a
foe as ever fought' upon embattled
field ; the negro had been emancipa
ted and enfranchised, and why not
now, with stronger reason, contend
for the emancipation and enfran
chisement of our’own flesh and blood,
! our white brothers of the South. A
power enthroned at Washington, and
seeking to perpetuate its rule by the
use of unholy expedients, determin
ed for selfish purposes to put the
lied of the recent slave upon his
master’s neck,and hold ten-States of
this Union in abject servitude and
vassalage by the strong arm of tlie
military power, and the disfranchise
of the white man,
,and the ex.dtJKt of the black.

that henceforth ami iorever the blue
and the gray shall mingle together as
friends and know no rivalry but that
of patriotism. We will unite to re
store the public to an era of pro
foundly tranquil peace, and bury in
deserved oblivion the restless dema
gogues who to subserve selfish ends,
would delay the coming of that time
when all the bitter animosities be
gotten of the strife shall be in the
deep bosom of the ocean buried.
When these things shall have been
done, America’s great'race for su
premacy will have fairly begun, apd
the time will yet come when we
shall all look with an equal tender
ness on the graves of the Northman
and the Southron—for are they not
each of us ?—the childern of a com
mon parent, and did not each go
down to death as becomes an Ameri
can to die? [Applause.]
Soldiers of the gray, as one who
wore the blue, I welcome you to fra
ternal relationship; we fought you
as men when you had arms in your
hands and assailed the Union you
now love, and we found you “l'oemea
worthy of our steeel,” as we how find
you friends worthy of our warm re
gard, and rest assured that those who
fought solely to preserve that Union
will be the last to flaunt in pence
tlie black flag that would have dis
honored them in war.
No more the flash of the cannon or
the red, fierce glare of battle shall
find us face to face in the terrible re
alities of war, but side by side, with
pulse and heart in kindred beating,
we shall fight in civil conflicts for the
rights ot all; for an undivided Union,
a constitution unimpaired and sacred
as our birthright, and a flag with
radiant stripes and not a clouded
star. In the great generous hearts
of the men who have bravely met
each other amid the carnage of bat
tle there can be no distinction in
worth between the victor and the
vanquished, for each fought for a
cause he believed to be just and
which was dear to his heart, and hi,
conscience, and all submit to the ver
dict in that “great trial wherein
armed and embattled legions are the
jury and the God of battles is the
judge.” The living shall be brothers
and the dead shall be enshrined in
our common love ; they came from
our common mother earth, and they
have returned to. their kindred. Like
lired children they have lain do wn to
sleepy JJyfthe still waters of tlie
'henan'Mfh ; on the banks of the
laugliingTtanessee; along the shores
of the great Father of Waters, they
rest in long'and sweet repose ; on tar
off*fields, enriched with heroic blood;
in the green forest where the mag
nolia blooms and sheds its fragrant
blossoms down ; in eanebrake swamp
and fen, and by the rolling rivulet
and.the sounding sea the blue and
gray jure lying side by side; together
they await the eventide of the ages,
when the reveille shall call them to
tlie resurrection and the life eternal.
Over their graves, moistened by the
dew drops—those silent tears of a
weeping heaven—we, their living
comrades, have entered into anew
covenant that the blue and gray shall
more be parted on this earth,
hot that, a united army, over whom
are niarshi led the shadowy hosts who
have gone before us to the spirit
land, we shall attain for our country
the realization of the best and pur
est aspirations,'and make her to be,
lor all time, indeed, the “home of the
free’’ as she is now “the land of the
.brave.”

By the flow of the imanil fiver,
Whence the fleets of iron had fled,
Where the blades of gray grass quiv’r,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead ;
Under the sod and (lew,.
Waiting the judgment day ;
Under the one the blue,
Under the other, the gray.
These in the robings of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All with the baule blood gory,
In the dust of eternity meet;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day.;
Under the laurel, the blue,
Under the willow, the gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours,
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laid with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under tire sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the roses, the blue,
Under the lilies, the gray.
So, with an equal splendor,
The morning sun rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender,
On thejblossoins blooming for all;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Broidered with gold, the blue,
Mellowed with gold, the gray.
So, when the summer calleth,
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur lalleth
The cooling drip of the rain;
Under the sod, and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day !
Wet with rain, the blue,
Wet with rain, ihe gray.
Sadly, but not wilh unbraiding,
The generous deed was done ;
In the storm of years now fading,
No braver battle was won ;
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms, the blue,
Under the garlands, the gray.
•
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They banish onr anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our
Under the sod and dew, [dead,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the blue,
Tears and love for the gray.
