Robert Todd Lincoln Galley proofs of speech at Galesburg, Ill October 7, 1896 see M2514 I SOMETIMES wonder how many of the seventy millions of our people, who are still on what is called the sunny side of middle life, really understand the greatness of the dangers from which our country was rescued by the quick uprising and the dauntless patriotism of the volunteers of 1861, or at all appreciate what they endured for four long years in desolate camps, on difficult marches, in fierce battles and in unsheltered prison pens, to prevent the breaking up of our nation into hostile fragments. Here, in the North, the roll of the drum, and the tramp of the troops, the return of the sick and wounded soldiers, and the funerals of the dead, were incessant for month after month and year after year, but probably not one person in ten has now more than a shadowy recollection of even the loud rejoicings at the final home-coming of the surviving veterans. It is not to recall victories or to revive bitter memories that this monument is raised, but to do just honor to the brave dead, and to encourage patriotism in the living by putting before those whose memory and personal knowledge are only of the peaceful times in which we live, something that will cause them to reflect upon what it is that leads men, when their country or its honor, or the institutions upon which its safety rests, are assailed by enemies, foreign or domestic, to lay down their occupations, whether of business or of pleasure, and to give themselves wholly to the public service; and if it actual war that comes, that makes <hr /> 2 them leave their homes, their parents or their wives and children, and to endure in patience the numberless hardships of active warfare--to face rifle balls and bursting shells, and to risk not only the unutterable miseries of imprisonment, but probable maiming, and possible violent death. The sentiment which so compels them involves the suppression of self and absolute devotion to the principle that the highest duty of man is to the State. Its loftiness is recognized by all, for there is no virtue whose exhibition in time of public need is so honored by every human being, in all ages and in all lands, as patriotism. It is to pay such honor that at a set time in every year reverent hands cover these graves with fragrant flowers. It is to pay such honor that we are here today. Let us remind ourselves, and tell our youth what we can in fewest words, of the story that cannot be told too often--of what it was that roused the brave hearts of these dead heroes. The question debated here in 1858 was one as to which it now seems almost incredible that there could be opposing parties, and yet that question caused the longest and most bitter war of modern times. Human slavery had been protected by the laws of the United States if fifteen states of the Union. Their people had been brought up to believe in its rightfulness as a moral question and in its expediency from an <hr /> 3 economical point of view. The republican party was formed by those who believed slavery to be a heinous wrong to the enslaved and economically injurious to the community in which it existed; but the party was formed, not to attack slavery in the states where it was then lawful, but to prevent its extension into other states. The candidate of that party was elected President in 1860, and as Chief Magistrate he was at once confronted by the attempted secession from the Union of at first seven, but soon eleven states with a population of five and a half millions of whites and three and a half millions of slaves, occupying a territory nearly four times as large as France, and having a sea-coast of more than three thousand miles. Think of what was meant by the success of such an effort; instead of there being a great and powerful nation, living under a single Constitution, the world's model of a Charter of Liberty; with Federal laws under whose wisdom and efficiency we had grown and prospered as no nation had ever done before; with no restraints on trade in all the land from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific; from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico; with holy traditions of the days in which our national existence was established; and of other days in which it was defended against powerful foes; and with the common veneration of the glorious Washington as the Father of our great country; instead of all this, there was to be chaos--all this was to pass away. There was to be a bayonet lined boundary between the North <hr /> 4 and the South along the line of the Ohio river; a hostility implacable for generations to come was to be the very essence of the relations of the neighboring countries. And if it became established that seven states could peaceably secede, so of course could any other; a state could be expelled from the nation by all the others seceding from it; and the commerce of any interior state could be absolutely excluded from access to others or to foreign nations. If these things could be, there could be left but one answer for the question of the President to the representatives of the people: "Must a government, of necessity, be too strong for the liberties of its own people, or to weak too maintain its own existence?" In spite of the most solemn and the most authoritative assurances to the contrary, the people of the seceding sates claimed that their rights and property were menaced by the new administration; they formed a separate government as a nation; created armies; seized all national property within their limits and defied the Constitution and the laws of the Union. At first there were serious dissensions and discussions in the North as to what course should be taken in such a crisis. The work of Washington and his ragged and battle-scarred heroes, and of the far-seeing statesmen who built upon their foundations, seemed for a time to be undone. In some manufacturing countries of Europe, longing for an unrestricted market in the rich new Southern <hr /> 5 empire, which had no industry of moment except agriculture, and which had by its Constitution prohibited the protection of mechanical industries, there was wide rejoicing in the apparent dismemberment and downfall of the great leader of republics; and the greatest one of these foreign countries was not entirely careful in straining the rules of international law in its willingness to see the catastrophe completed. The gloom of those threatening days can never be forgotten by those who had passed the age of childhood. Week after week it lasted, but suddeny it seemed to be dissipated as by a flash of lightning. The flag of the nation had been fired upon at Fort Sumpter. The flame of the burning fort was not extinguished before its sparks had kindled the fires upon the altars of patriotism in every town of the loyal North and in almost every home. All doubt and hesitation disappeared. The world saw the Uprising of a Great People. Before the little garrison of Fort Sumter had marched from its ruined walls, a proclamation was drawn by the President calling for seventy-five thousand soldiers to suppress the insurrection, but ere there was time to issue it, there came to him, a pledge the earnest support of his great ability and wide-spread influence in re-establishing the authority of the national government, the great Democratic leader who had been his lifelong political antagonist, Stephen A. Douglas. In the peril of the Republic, the contentions of Democracy and Republicanism were by him and the Presi <hr /> 6 dent put aside, and for the first time in their lives, which had been passed in the same community, they clasped hands as allies in a public cause. In the election then just past, more than a million devoted followers in the North had cast their ballots for Mr. Douglas, and to them and to all others whom his voice could reach, he did not cease to cry until his untimely death: "Every man must be for the United "States or against it; there can be no neutrals in this war,--only patriots and traitors." The response of the loyal North to the appeal of the national government was instant and even overwhelming; the number volunteering to its support was double what was called for, and far exceeded the ability of the authorities to give them arms and uniforms at once. As to Illinois and as to Knox County, it is enough to say here that troops to a number equalling the assigned quota of the State had offered themselves for service by the third day after the President's proclamation, and that during the war nearly that number was credited from this county alone. Upon the appalling events which crowd the history of the next four years there is here no time to dwell. Nearly three quarters of a million of men yearly faced the enemies of the Republic. Of regular battles and smaller armed contests there were more than two thousand; before the conflict ended more than sixty thousand Union soldiers had been killed outright and more than two hundred thousand had died of wounds <hr /> 7 and diseased incurred in service. It was all in all the grandest exhibition of faithfulness and love of country the world has ever seen. We who enjoy the blessings of the liberties and of the great nationality which the valor of our defenders has made enduring, gratefully honor the names of all of them, whether living or dead. And for this we come today to the graves of these dead soldiers, who were of the men willing to give their lives that their country might live. We should never cease our thanks to God that their offered gift was not in vain. There were times and many times, in the long four years, when their cause seemed desperate,-- their task a hopeless one; but they never faltered, and when the flag, that in the smoke of battles had streamed before them like a flame, was laid upon their coffins, no star was missing from its field. One great lesson to be learned from the lives of these men and their comrades is that there is no danger to the Republic so great that it may not be overcome by the union of patriots. Nothing can be so appalling as was the assault of those who wished to destroy it thirty-five years ago. In its defense blood was shed in torrents and treasure expended in inconceivable sums, but it was saved and it was worth the cost. The Republic may have banded enemies who are not armed hosts. In the mind of a lover of his country <hr /> 8 there is no difference between an attack upon its territory and an attack upon its honor. When either is lost all is lost that gives the pride of citizenship of a great country. In the defense of one, as in the defense of the other, there must be a sacrifice of all private interest--a sinking of all, mere party feeling,--each citizen must listen, not to the sophistries addressed to his suspected base selfishness, but to the voice of his own conscience. This is what was done by the patriots of 1861, and this is what will be done by the patriots in every national crisis. Their union then was invincible and their union will always be invincible. And now let us dedicate this monument to the memory of these patriots of Galesburg and to patriotism. It is not a monument of pride, put up by the victors in the flush of their conquest. Since the close of the great struggle which it commerates, victors and vanquished have by thousands and tens of thousands fallen into the sleep of death under the peaceful shelter of their homes. With few exceptions, the names of those who were in high places of state on either side, or who led armies, or corps or divisions in battle, or commanded squadrons on the sea, are in the great catalogue of the dead. To those who survive, the memories brought up by an occasion like this have long ceased to recall the exultation of victory on one side, or the grief of defeat on the other. The reflections of more than thirty years have turned the once bitterly warring <hr /> 9 streams of sentiment into one broad river, on whose current is borne in safety and in glory the Ship of State, and no one lives under the protection of its flag who does not at heart rejoice that the rock of Disunion was exploded from its path and the canker of human slavery torn from its framework.

At a meeting of the committee of the Liverpool Emancipation Society, held May 3, 1865, the following resolutions were passed unanimously, and ordered to be forwarded to his excellency the Hon. C. F. Adams, for transmission to the government of the United States: That the Liverpool Emancipation Society, in recording its deepest sorrow for the death of President Lincoln, cut off as he has been in the midst of a life of usefulness rarely equalled, expresses its sympathy with his bereaved family in their affliction and with the people of the United States in their loss. That the society expresses at once its sympathy with Mr. Seward and his family in their sufferings, and its heart-felt satisfaction that the purposes of the assassin were in this case frustrated. That, in conveying to the people of the United States this testimony of sorrow for their bereavement, this society also records its profoundest thankfulness that, in the good providence of God, the great cause of emancipation, so nobly carried out during the last four years by President Lincoln and the legislature, is in the safe keeping of a people fully awakened to a sense of its responsibility; a people resolved to make peace on the basis of freedom only, and thus hand down to succeeding generations a heritage enlarged, ennobled and consecrated by the precious blood of martyrs.

[Translation.] The Lodge Anziani Virtuosi, Orient of Leghorn, Tuscany, to the President of the United States of America Health! Abraham Lincoln is dead, not from disease in his own bed, surrounded by friends and parents, but in consequence of a wound inflicted by an unknown hand. Nothing positive yet is known as to the reason why the fatal shot was fired; but, unfortunately, men who are useful to their country either die before the accomplishment of the work they had undertaken, or hands bought with the gold of their enemies cut the thread of their lives, hoping that the trunk being severed, the tree will not blossom; but if the roots are sound, it will, though late. So you, citizen President, ought to do. Falter not, because the life of your predecessor was taken, for it is your duty to finish what he traced out, and not only is the most powerful part of America with you, but the whole world represented by the people who, when they love, love from the heart and shed their blood for any just cause. Yours is one of the most just, and let the great try to crush the people, and cry out that they are of no account; they are the elect of God, and their cause will triumph, for all the peoples of the earth have their hopes and sufferings in common, and, call a man Abraham Lincoln, or any other name, it matters not, for it is not the body or the soul but the party he represents which calls our attention. Abraham Lincoln, the strenuous defender of the rights of the people, is no more; but you, Andrew Johnson, having taken his place, have the task of completing the work. Receive the best wishes for the prosperity of your republic, from the brothers of the Leghorn Lodge Anziani Virtuosi, Orient of Leghorn.

To his Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of the United States: We, inhabitants of distant regions, ultimately address a word to you, citizen President, to manifest to you the great grief that afflicted our hearts on the melancholy intelligence of the assassination of the illustrious President, Abraham Lincoln—mourned for nine days in the temple of our mysterious works. In vain did that sacrilegious hand raise itself to smite such virtue, for his name will last to eternity. In him America acknowledges the Washington of liberty; to him the slave to-day pours out his benedictions that his chains are loosed, and the civil people from all quarters of the globe spread flowers and tears on the tomb of the just. It is but too true that the country of virtue is heaven, and its temple the world. Accept, citizen President, this tribute of regard towards the late Illustrious which all the fraternity of this respectable lodge dedicate to him. In the mean time we beg you to manifest our grief towards the American nation, which is to-day so nobly given to you to represent. Signed by the venerable GIOVANNI PINOTTA, And others.

[Translation.] Lodge of Good Faith,  St. Germain-en-Laye, May 15, 1865, (common era.) The Masonic Lodge of Good Faith, on hearing of the odious crime that deprived the United States government of its illustrious President, Abraham Lincoln, experienced the same sorrow felt by the whole world. French free masonry does not meddle with political passions; but as a body of enlightened men it professes those great principles of humanity that your regretted President practiced with so much skill and success. The abolishment of slavery, the great work so long desired by civilized nations, the sacred design of the wisdom and justice of all governments, was prosecuted with tact and ingenuity by your predecessor, for which he has a right to not only the gratitude of his own nation, but to the homage of everybody who recognized in him the honorable representative of the liberal ideas adopted by the human race in this age of progress. This spirit recoils before no obstacle, but in its onward march crushes tyranny, intolerance, and prejudice. No, this assassination cannot destroy the great fundamental principles of universal morality. Martyrs may fall under the cruel blows of blind fanaticism, but truth will rise more radiant and triumphant out of the darkness where ignorance and obstinacy sought to bury it. As ardent propagandists of masonic faith, which is one day to unite all men, we will escape all future imminent dangers. In completing the noble task of your predecessor you will be sustained in the sacred duty by our good wishes and our prayers in the accomplishment of this humane labor. Under these unexpected circumstances the Lodge of Good Faith adopts your ideas of universal happiness, and is proud to say it joins you, heart and soul, in the sympathetic bonds of love for the public good. Our wishes will be satisfied if you deign to receive, at this solemn moment, the respectful homage of our fraternal sentiments, and the assurance of our profound and sincere affection. PERROT, Venerable. P. FONTAINE. MAYER. DAMBRINE.  And many others. <div class="tei-postscript"> </div> The President of the United States.
