corps which General Duller had the honor to embracing within it the Thirtieth went forth to the Held of battle the lesson which I conceive to be learned from all this that whenever the country calls

they knew hot what they I was asked during the period tbe and I have been asked what most governed the mind of the North in Its conflict with the South to secure a united and I answer that I believe one motive more than any other that actuated tbe East and the was that we never meant to allow tne Mississippi river to be in tho area or under the direction of an alien gov And so It Is as to every relation our country j we have Indicated to world that a people left lo are Ihe best receptacle ot political power In the Great Short addresses were also made bv Mayor Won Benjamin Corliss of jor
