The former laya within province, but the latter is not a fair topic of discussion for the soldier, who ia sworn to obey the lw. of hi. country duly enacted, and ths orders of hia superior.. That questions of great interest should have recoiled from our war was to be ex pected, auch a. concern the right of States, snd the rights of ritizane therein. On the.e questions, you who were former'y offleers and soldiers, but are now citizens, ahould form and express your opinions a. freeman, unbiased by the clamür of the hour, an I ahould leave to others an equal right, bearing in mind that there ia room for doubt, snd that men may differ snd differ widely, and yet bs h onest; but whsn a con elusion is ones srrivsd at by due course of law, the eubject ia no longer an open quae, non for discussion, but should be submitted to, simply because it I. the law of tbe land Applause. Each and every ona of you can recall periods in your own history, win n you .opposed thoae in authority were acting wrong; but by s paien, silent discharge of your own clearly defined duty youea the.e doubts and conditions clear a .y lk a miat cloud, and reveal to you the truth triumphant. 80 will it be In your civil rxperirfnee, when a similar acquietrence in event, will produce tbe earns result. Hut for a more comprehensive understanding of these important queationa, we muat (urn from our limited experience to that of others se re corded in history. As esrly as 1761, a hundred yeara before our civil war, Virginia, under the influence of Richard II. Lee, attempted to atop the im Donations of alavea by a prohibitory duty. bot her action waa vetoed in England. In Sooth Carolina a simitar attempt waa made with a like reeult. In Georgia, Geoaral Oglethorpe began hi. colony for the expreea purpoae of limiting the exiatenee of alatery in that direetion. Slill later, at the time ol our -evolutionary war, the sentiment opposed to the institution of slavery waa nearly univeraal, .0 mach so that ths slste trsde was prohibited alter 1S08, and the word alave was not written at ail ia our Consti tution. Slavery would surely have been extin guished in this country by a gradual and natural process, and we might bass been spared our civil war, bad not other cautea come into play. It was found that the soil and climate of the Southern Statss were admirably adapted to the growth of cotton. The power of eteam waa discovered and applied to machinery of all kinds, especially in Old snd New England, and Eli Whitney, ol Maaaachueette, invented bi. cotton gin Theae created aa immense demand lor the staple and erem to have changed the whole current of public opinion. The invention .1 the cotton gin did mora to fix aiavery upon ue than any amount af prohibitory legielation, or any amount of anti-slavery agitation. 80 tbst I have always fait that Old England and New England bad much to da

Applauae. j If slsvery then was the real csoas of our civil war, or even tbe pretext for It, and if the children moat Inherit the sin. of their father, evsn to the third sod fourth gener.tion, then none of 0. vho trace our origin back to the earlier daye of tbe Rpublie. can eecape this mathematical and pliiloaophtcal conclusion, or in ths language of Dr. Draper: "Guilty then both of os in the eight of God. Let us not vex each other with mutual criminatioo, but sear our punishment with humanity." How has this punishment been partitioned by tbe result of this war? Weof the Nortb have to mourn the loaa of fathers, brothers, aona and friends, aod ara burdened with a vaat national debt, binding on ua in fact, io law, and in hono, never I hope to be quoetionsd by any honorable mao in America till every cent I paid. Looi to thsBouib, snd you who went with ms throuh tbe land, can beat say if they, too, have not been fearfully puniahsd. Mourning in every household; desolation written in hard characters scroa. the whole face of their country; cities in aahea, and fields Din waste; their commerce gone; their system of labor annihilated and de stroyed; ruin, poverty and di.trsas every where, snd now pestilence adding the cap theaf to their cock of misery, her proud men begging far pardon, and appealing for permission to raise food for their children, her lour millions of alavea free, and their value lost to their former maaters forever. How any Southern gentleman, with these facta plain and palpable everywhere, ataring him in the face and recorded forever in tbe book of hiatory, can atlll boast of hia '-lost cause," or speak of it in language other 'han that of sbam and aorrow, paaaea my underatanding; and inatead of being revived, I know that their loet cauae will sink deeper and deeper into infamy aa time more keenly probea ita hidden my.teriee and reveal.

Now that alavery ia gone, and gone for ever, with its unhappy wrecka left behind, and all danger ia passed of any set of men appealing to war when they have courta to aeeure their righta and redresa their wronge, I would trust our national deatiny again to those grand old natural lawa which raised our country through the long, tedious vaetalage of colonization; which carried ua aafaly through tha ordeal of our revolutionary war; made oar flag famous on the high aeaa of 1812; led our conquering army to gates of Mexico in 1847; snd baa boroa oa gloriously through lour years of as hard war ia aver tested tbe manhood of sny people. Let at revive, ss far ss lie. In our individual power, that ayatem which, Bancroft teiie us, guided our fathers before tbe revolution "the system which has been reveal'ed in Judea the oyetem which combines aod prelects the symbolical wisdom of the Orient aad the reflective genius of Greece the ayetem conforming to reaaon. yet kind ling with enthuiiaem, always hastening re form, yet alwaya conservative; proclaiming abeolnte rquality among men, yet not suddenly abcliehing the unequal Institution of society; guaranteeing absolute freedom, yet invoking the inexorable restricltoos of duty: is the high.it degree theoretical, yet

No one ao well knew ths incomparable skill aod bravery of that stow waning army of Virgioia aa they who for four yeara bad fought it, and now, in tha hour of its supreme disaster, ware grinding it to powder rather than forcing its surrender; snd, when at Isngtb. cut off Irom its lines of retr.st by that lion of the bsu tlefield, whose ramping earalry "lav cronch. ed across bis only path; bis artiilsry gone, bie traio. taken or destroyed, hie ammuni tion expended, hi. chief officer, .lain, or woonded or captured, bi. men reduced te a handful, overwearied by night without sleep and day. taxed to the almost.
