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; HINES VIL® GAZETTE. - BA& HA., #NDAY, OCTOiii-;.; 7. 1872. 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 lowed the fortunes, of thait 1 uniing from fields made crimson by theii- .blood, and * iiiftifortaT 4 bjf their marlin! glory, iiavb since distinguished, themselves from the* mass'of their fellow-citizen* only by their superior devotion "to the pur snits am' amenities of peace. Impoverished, they have sought by honest mduefry to repair their for tuncs wasted bv tlie war. &bjfiiss* ive, even to the most arbitrary ed A ' 1 '* . , ;Id V '■??.,* ' * 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.

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.” |vi -#syi '* Ml >.!> ’St) jjjji. 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.
