At the foot of this monument, sleep j

he heroes of the battle. Here lie the father, the husband, the brother, and the only son. In far off homes, among the hills of New England, on the shores of the lakes, and in thi valleys and plains of the West, the widow the orphan, and the aged paren , are weeping for these beloved de id. Many of the toiubs are marked "unkpovL.'.' but they will ail be recognized on ,he morning of the resurrection. . Tho unknown dead left behind them .kindred, friends and breaking hearts. Nono .die so humble but leave some one to mourn. '"Perished at Gettysburg, ia-dcfeo.se of their country," S)7i) men, of whose names, homes or lineage, there , is no trace left on earth. Doubtless the Recording Angel has preserved the record, and when the books are opened on the last day, their names will be fouud in letters of living light, on the immortal page of heroes who died that their country might live. Ia the fields before us are the graves of the rebel dead, now sunk to the level of the plain, .." unmarked, uuhonorcd and unknown." T'iey were our countrymen, of our .blood, lauguage and history. They displayed a courage worthy of their country, ami o; a better cause, aud we may o dron a tear to their memory iive news of this fatal field earned agony to thousands of Southern homes, and the wai! oi dispair was heard in the everglades aud orance groves oi the South. Would to God that these men had died for their country, and not in fratricidal t-trife, for its destruction. Oh who cau describe the wickedness of rebellion, or paint the horrors of civil war? .. The rebellion was madness. It was the insanity of States ; the delerium of millions, brought on by the pernicious influence ot human slavery. The people of the South were drunk with the spoils of the labor of four millions of s' tyes. They were educated in the belief that chivalry and lilory were the inheritance only of slaveholders; that free institutions and free labor begat cowardice and servility; that Northern men were sordid and mercenary, intent only upon gaio, aud would not tight tor their Government or principles. And thus educated and thus .believing, theyraistd their hands to strike the. Government ot their fathers, and to establish a new Constitution, the chief corner-stone of which was to be human slavery. The lust of power, the unholy greed of slavery, the mad ambition of dis appointed statesmen, impelled the people of the South to a fearful crime, which drenched the land with fraternal blood, that has been punished as lew crimes have ever been in this world, but out of which, we are assured, that God. in His providence, will briug forth the choicest blessings to our country and to the human race ; even as the rarest flowers spring in prolusion from the graves of the dead: Liberty universal, soon to be guaranteed and preserved by suffrage universal ; tho keeping of a nation's freedom to be entrusted to all the people. and not to a part only; the national reproach washed out, in rivers of blood, it. is true ; but the sins of the world vers atoned by the blood of the Saviour, and the expiation of blood seems to be the erand economy of God, founded in wisdom, to mortals inscrutable, Resurrection comes only from the grave. Death is the great progenitor of life. From the tomb of the rebellion a nation has been born again. The principles of liberty, so gloriously stated in the Declaration of Independence, had hitherto existed only in theory. The Government l ad ever been a painful contradictim to the Declaration. AVhile proclaiming to the world that liberty was the gift of God to every human being, four unions of people were held in abject and brutalizing slavery, under the shadow of the uatiooal Has;. In the presence of these slaves, professions of devotion to liberty were vain and hypocritical. The clanking of their chains ascended perpetually in contradiction to our professions, and the enemies of Republicanism pointed contemptuously to our example, liut all this is passed. Slavery lies buried in the torb of the rebellion. The rebellion--the offspring of slavery hath ma.'dered its unnatural parent, and tha perl'eot reign of liberty is at hand With the ratification of the Fifteenth Artiele, proposed by Congress as an amendment to the Constitution of the Uuitcd States, which we have every reason to believe will soon be completed, impartial suffrage will be established throughout the land. The equal rights of meu will be recognized, and the millennium in liberty and government will be realized, to which nr father looked forward with hopefulness and joy. The principles of liberty once planted in the earth and ripened into their rich fruits, will be borne through all the ages, blessing mankind to the latest generation, even as the seeds first sown by the hand of God in I'ar adise, were blown by the winds from continent to con Uncut, until the world was clothed with verdure, fruits and flowers. The prospect for liberty throughout the world was never so bright as it is to-day. In ail civilized lauds the graod arruie of freedom are on their march. And they are allied armies. Victory to one will give prestiiro aud confidence to the others. With some, progress will be slow; they will en counter disaster and defeat, but will again r.diy and go forward to final victory, in the great camnaizn of freedom we count, not by months, but by aecnics ana generations, m which there will be many a Dull lluo, many a Gettysburg, and a final Appomattox. The lines of march will bo marked by many a cemetery like this, by the wrecks of fallen institutions and dynasties, and by the ruins of the hereditary privilege and caste. Lei- us briefly review the advance of libsrty since 1776. We omit, this portion of the address, interesting as it is, owing to its great length. Eds. Journal. The evil of large standing armies, annually withdrawing the young men from home and productive pursuits, is still endured, because Germany is Burrouudcd by war-like and powerful enemies, clad in complete armor. But everywhere the tendency of the German iniud is to the fullest liberty of thought, and to the recognition of the " equal rights " of wen. Austria, so long oppressed, feels and responds to , tue impulse of liberty. An intelligent .Emperor, who has not shut his eyes to what is going on in the world around hira, preceives that he can not stem the powerful current everywhere setting in towards free institutions, and that the securityof his throne depends upon conceding to the people, rights and privileges which have been denied them binco Austria was an empire, and giving back to Hungary tho enjoyment of her ancient Constitution. , The abolition of the Concordat, the establishment of religious freedom, he equal taxation of all classes, are'

among the hopeful

beginnings of Austrian letortn. -j Italy, the ancient seat of the power and glory of the lloman Empire; land of histojry, philosophy, poetry, music, painting, sculpture, ana roiuaucu, land . of "starry climes aud sunny skies," whose delicious climate, lofty mountains, and beautiful valleys and plains have ever excited the admiration of the traveler and potfhant-ider great -progress in uuity and freedom. Suffrage nearly universal, tne imbeds corpus, freedom, of religion, and free-schools, are some of the principal features of Italian liberty., .; . The spiiic of liberty is abroad m ltussia mighty empire of tho North, whose government has represented the perfect idea ot Absolute Despo-r tig m au autocratic, power, , u restrained by constitution or law.-. An enlightened -Czar, animated by love f or his people, and perceiving the individual happiness and material prosperity produced by free institutions, abolished slavery throughout his dominions, made the serfs freemen,- and gave to them local free institutions, based upon the right of suffrage It i3 true the imperial power.-still extends over all a dark, impenetrable but beneath its shadow, there is individual liberty, and loeal.self-. government.., Thus far the prosper ous result has established the wisdom of the Czar, aud may .we not believe that he has laid the foundations of a free Koverrtmeut, to be de veloped into a grand Republic, in the tar future? aud nearer, into a constinitiorul monarchy, with representative . iiistitutions? Liberty, is like living seed; .wherever planted it vivifies ex pan. ;s,. "develops. Thus planted in Russia among the lowest people, and for local purposes, it will grow, develop, and finally conquer. ; Russia is among tho progressive nations, and is our friend : aud it was the Ameri can example which touched the heart and intellect or the Linneror. The spirit of liberty,. in its onward march, lias invaded Spain, and is stirring tho great national heart. We have, lately seen the Spanish people firmly, and almost peacefully and unanimous!?, denoso a licentious Queen, and declare against her dyn-a-,tv. We have seen this people meet in i rimary assemblies, and by suffrage universal elect a National Cortes, which has lor many mouths, in calm debate, considered and framed a new constitution, which, although not re publican in its form, contains so much liberty, so much that is good and progressive in government, as to give, the world high hope in the future of Spain. Wo have, heard this National Assembly deulare that all sovereignty aud power re.-ide in the people; thus deiivim: the divine right , of kings, and ' asserting the. fundamental idea of free institutions. c have heard . it pro ounce the abolition of slavery. )Yc have heard it pronounce the right ot all men to worship God according to the.dictat.es of their own consciences Verily, these are great things and new times in old Spam. , While the grand revolution m Spain is proceeding so peacefully and successfully; while the Spanish people ars asserting their liberties and fortifying them by Constitutional bul warks, it is to be deeply regretted that they are denying ' to Cuba what they claim for themselves. lhc American lvevolution was also an English revolution. The struggle for liberty here reacted upon Lugland, has eone forward there contin ually, and is stronger to-day than ever. One reform- has succeeded an other. The basis of suffrage has been widened from time to time, and has always been followed by an ex tent-ion of the rights, privileges and prosperity ot the people. Ihe institutions of England have become more liberal, iust and beuificent as tho ruht of suffrage has been extend ed, aud a larger number of men ad mitted to a voice in the Government RiCcutiv we have seen a new exten sion of the franchise, followed almost immediately by a movement for the disestablishment of the Irish Church. The Irish Church establishment, though professedly m the interests ot protestantism, is not sustained or justified by the 1 rotestant world, and the Piotestant masses of Eugland are demanding its repeal. Ihe dis-estabhshment bil has passed the House of Commons nut the Lords threaten to reject it or destroy it by modifications. It may sacrifice itclf, but it can not thereby preserve the Irish Establishment The House of Lords ia tolerated now only upou the c ondition that it wil ratify the action of the Commons, and will give its formal assent to all popu lar movements, it possesses no rea political power, aud will not be per mitted to. obstruct the wishes of the people. Should it be rash enough to reject the Dis establishment bill, it will at once inaugurate a movement for its own reorganization, and the destruction of the hereditary privi lci:. Such a movement cannot, perhaps bo long deferred anyhow. Another reform bill will soon be demanded making suffrage universal, or nearly so, to do followed by the disestablish mcnt of the English Church, the abo Ution ol t tie laws ot primogeniture and the final destruction of the kinar ly office. The mass of the English people are substantially, though not pi ofessedly, republican in sentiment They accept the great doctrine of hu man rights upou which our govern nient is founded ; and. while they yet retain the throne and the House of Lords, any attempt on the part of either to exercise positive power, or resist the popular will, would be in stantly met by threats of resistance and. if not abandoned, by revolution The throne and the upper House re main much like the feudal castles that yet distinguish the English land scape, emblems of departed pow er. curious to the view, ful of historic interest, but no long er dangerous to the peace of the surrounding country. English m forms, heretofore slow, are becoming more rapid, and the English people aie marching with accelerated speed to a Republican Government. Universal suffrage and hereditary privilege cannot exist long together. They are essentially hostile- elements. The progress of suffrage in England has been resisted at every step by the aristocratic classes; but after many years of struggle it has arrived at that point, where its further progress cannot be long delayed. Universal suffrage lies at the very summit of the hill of Difficulty, the ascont of which is rugged, slow and toilsome, but when achieved, the people will be masters of the situation. Ameriea is avenging herself upon England, by gradually but surely overturning her aristocratic and hierarchic institutions, by the force of her teachings and example. The difficulties in the way of putting down the rebellion were great. Tho rebellious States contained a population of not less than ten millions, and although nearly four millions were slaves, yet most of them, until the very conclusion of the war, constituted the laboring and producing classes, and furnished the supplies lor the rebel armies in the field and the non-combatanta at home. The territory of the rebellious States

comprised an area cf not less than eight hundred thousand square miles, diversified by vast ranges of moun- , tains, deep rivers, tangled wilderness, i

and far-stretctiiDg swamps, ana every where presenting natural aetenses Dehind which a small force could hold a large one at bay. The lines of communication were necessarily of great length, and maintained with difficulty. A large portion of our forces wero constantly employed in this way, and in garrisoning posts, so that it wa3 seldom we were: able to meet tne enemy wnu superior force upon tho field. These immense difficulties went lar to counterbalance our superiority in population and resources, and was so great as to lead military observers throughout Europe . to prophecy, almost with one accord, that we could not conauer the South. It was said there, was no instance in history where so large a population scattered over even one-third of, a ter ritory so great as that embraced oy the rebellion, had been subdued. It was said we could not conquer space ; that conquest would be a geographical impossibility; that three millions of men could not garrison the outii, and that when we had captured their towns and overrun the inhabited .parts of their country, they would still maintain the war in morass, mountain and forest, almost impenetrable to regular aruiies, uum i uc m iu, exhausted in blood and treasure, and broken in hope, would give up the contest. Such was the belief of leading mili tary minds in Europe, aud ot tne Eoliticians ol the houth when the war egan. Theae opinions seemed well founded in reason and in history, and the suppression of the rebellioc, all things considered, may be justly regarded as. the greatest of all military achievements. ' The fact that the rebels fought upon their own soil, in a country with which they were familiar, protected from the approach of loyal armies by tho 'natural advantages before de scribed, was a full compensation for the difference between the population and resources of the two sections, and the final triumph of our arms and the suppression of the rebellion, must be sought for in other causes. What these causes were may be brief! ystated. First In the strength, courage and endurance imparted to armies, by the conviction that they are fighting in a just and patriotic canse." Ihe hum blest privates in our army oenevcu they were fightintr to preserve the be.-t government in the world; to preserve liberty and to extinguish slavery; in behalf ot civilization and Christianity; against advancing barbarism and inhumanity. These convictions gave inspiration, courage and hope to the army, and animated tne great mass oi the people of tho isortli, who sustain ed the government throughout1 the contest, constituting an immense moral power, in opposition to which the South had but little to offer. ; The people of the South had bitter prejudices, which had been carefully fostered by designing! politicians. Many of them believed in the abstract doctrine, under the Constitution, of State sovereignty and tho right of secession. Some believed in the rightfullness of slavery, but more in its Drofitableness. its convenience, and its contribution to luxury and pride. But all of these constituted no moral power to inspire the patriot, nerve the soldier, give consolation in the dying hour, or determine people never to surrender, and to struggle on to the last. When, therefore, the principal armies of the rebellion were overcome and had surrendered, the war was at an end. Hostility was not maintained in the forest and mountaiu as had been predicted. The convictions, hopes, and purposes of the masses had been extinguished before their armies were, and although they were full of bitterness and humiliation, yet there was nothiug left for which they might sacrifice their homes, and the, future quiet and prosperity of their lives. Their cause failed ia advance of their armies and resources. The rebel historian of the "Lost Cause," in descanting upon the. sub ject, spoke as loliows: The whole fabric ot Confederate defense tumbled down at a stroke of arms that did not amount to a battle. There was no last great convulsion such as usually marks the final struggles of a people's devotion, or the expiring hours of their desperation. The word surrender traveled from Virginia to Texas. A four years' contest terminated with the smallest iucident ot bloodshed; it lapsed; it passed by a rapid aud easy transition into a profound and abject submission. There must be some explanation of this flat conclusion of the war. It is easily found. Such a condition could only take place in a thorough demor alization of the armies and people of the Confederacy; theie must have been a general 'decay of public spirit. a geueral rottenness of public affairs, wheu a great war was.thus termiuated, and a contest was abandoned so short of positive defeat, and so far from tho historical nece.-sity of subjuga don." . , And again he says: v e icar mat the lessons and ex amples of history are to tho contrary, and we search iu vain for one in stance whei-e a country of such extent as the confederacy has been so thoroughly subdued by any amount of military force, uuless where popular demoralization lias intervened. History records that many nations, far more exhausted than they, have struggled on to final victory. Oar Revolutionary Fathers, at the end of four years, defeated, exhausted, aud overrun, did not despair, but, ani mated by the justice cf their ciuse, and the belief that it would triumph, because it was just,. struggled on, and at the end of seveu years were blessed with peace, and the rich reward which shall be the inheritance of earth. " Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just," and weak and defenseless are they who who contend for iujustice and slavery, though girt about by the mountain, the swift river and the deep wilderue.-s. Secondly The armies of the North were strong in that physical endurauce which is communicated by habitual labor, and by , that selfreliance and confidence which free labor only cau inspire. They were strong in the intelligence of the masses who filled the rank. These men understood well the nature of the struggle in which they were engaged. They knew the vast consequences to themselves, their posterity and to the world, depending upon the result. Their education enabled them not only to comprehend the " cause," but military operations, the condition of the gavejnmentand the country, and the decline ol the strength and spirit of the enemy. In short, our armies were a vast intelligence, sulject to military control, possessing clear ideas of duty, condition, consequences, and spirit and resolution commensurate to these. .,; "' 'PERORATION. ' ' ' We have met here to-day to dedi

cate this monument to the memory of the patriotic and gallant men who fell upon this field, and to testify our love

lor the great cause in which they perished. Their achievrnenta will be recorded upon the pages of history, much more enduring than stone, but we desire to present this visible evidence of our remembrance and gratitude. We are surrounded to-day by many of the 'surviving heroes bfthe battle; by many of the relatives 'and friends of these beloved dead, and by many thousands of our people who, : rejoice in the preservation, peace and prosperity of our country. That! wo have a united , country, that . wo have national government, that we have peace io all our borders, that there is liberty and protection for all, that we have. bright and glorious prospects, of individual hapi incss, and national growth and power, we owe to the brave men wno fell upon this and other fields. The glorious circumstance and bright auspices over nd around us to-day, were purcuaseu vy, men uiuuui- " " the full enjoyment of the price for which it was shed. ' Let us increase the gratitude of our hearts by consid ering, for a moment, what would be our condition, it the rebellion had triumphed. We would have no solemn but sweet occasion like this, we would have no common country, no common name, no national flag, no glorious prospects for the future. . iiaa tue oona oi union oeen oroKen, the various parts would have crumbled to , pieces. We should have a slaVe-holdihg confederacy in the South, a Republic on the I'acific, airother in the Northwest, and another in the' East.' "With the example of one successful secession, dismemberment of the balance woufd have speedily followed, and our country, once the hope of tho world, the pride of our" hearts, broken into hostile fragments, would have been blotted from the map, and become a byword among tho nations. Let us thank Almighty God to-daV that we have craped this horrible fate. We feel as one who awakes from a terrible dream, and rejoices that he is alive. We feel as did the Children ot Israel when, standing upon the shores of the Red Sea. they looked back upon the destruction from which they had been delivered. Mr. Lincoln, standing in this place a few months after the : battle, and while yet the conflict was raging, ded icated himself to his country, and to the cause of liberty and union. The demon of rebellion afterwards exacted his life, but th i . inspiration of the words he spoke s resting upon us to day. The great prophecy he uttered when he said tho nation shall, un der God. have a new birth of free dom," and that " the Government of the people, by the people, acd for the neome. shall not perish from the earth," is; being fulfilled.. He sealed his devotion with his blood, and , sacred be his memory. The ekquent Everett, who tpoke here on the same occasion, and who has since passed from earth, Baid "God bios-s the Union: it is dearer to us lroru the blood of brave men whieh has been shed.in its defence. As I stood by them and listened to their inspired words, my faith was renewed in the triumph of liberty; but imagmatior failed to stretch lor ward to this auspicious day. The march of events has been faster than our thoughts, and the fruits of the victory havo already exceeded our most sanguine expectations. While we pay this tribute of love and gratitude to the dead, let us not. forget the surviving heroos of the battle. They, too, offered their lives, but -the sacrifice, was not required. The admiration, love and gratitude of the nation will attend them, as they pass uown the declivity of time to honored graves. In the evening of their lives they will tell the story of Gettysburg to, wondering youth, who will listen as dia we, when our grandfathers told of Bunker Hill, Saratoga and lorktown. Many of them are here to-day to review the soene of their struggle and triumph. How powerful the contrast between now and then. The dark cloud which overspread the horizon of the Nation is gone, and all is brightness. The sulphurous cloud of battle, too, is n"ouo, and there is nothing to obscure oit? vision of the field. The dead have returned to dust. The fields onca cumbered with bodies and slip pery with blood are clothed with verdure and harvest, and to-day all is peace, beauty, and repose. We seek not to commemorate a tri umph over our misguided country men. It is the cause we celebrate Our triumph is theirs, and their children's children, unto the latest generation. The great disturbing element has been removed. Vicious political heresies have been extir pated. The trial by wager of battle has been decided in favor of libprty and union, and all will submit. The people of the North and South have met each other race to face on many a held, have tried each other s cour age, have found that they are much alike in most things, have increased their mutual respect, and are now preparing to live together more fraternally than before. The Southern States are rapidly re covering from the prostration of the war, and with their deliverence from the incumbus of slavery, with free labor, with free schools, with cmi gration from the North and from Europe, will soon attain a prosperity and power, of which they scarcely cirearnea in tormcr days. Their advancing prosperity is solid, just1 and enuunng. VV e rejoice in it, and shall participate in it.
