Although somewhat late, The Ledger, in response te many inquiries, print3 be low the address of Hen. W. A. Byren, delivered at Broeksvllle May 30th. The publication is made as early as the MSS. could be obtained, and it is due te Mr. Byren te say that the delay has net been caused by him. Being Introduced te the large assembly, the speaker said' Vcttrantnf thtQrand Army of the fepuMle, Feltew-CMizcne, Ladlet and Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure te havothe prlvllege of speaking te se many of you en this occa sion, tfvery occasion that ca'ls tegether n body of Intelligent citizens Is of mero or less Importance, but this one Is of very great Im portance for the reason that jeu have ceme together for the purpose of considering nnd meditating upon the story of your country's history nnd paying reverent respect and honor te the memory of these who sacrificed their lives In order that n government cf the peo ple, by the people nnd for the peeple might live nnd contlnueto hand down te future gen erations that freedom nnd protection with out which government is u tyrant nnd liberty a myth. Tliere Is no song or story thnt presents greater heroes or heroines for our admiration nnd our leve than the great story the true history of our beloved land slnce the advent' of these who tlrit laid the sicge of civiliza tion te the trackless forest, the wild animal and the wild Indian of North America. De you, my friends, ever step te consider that four centuries age where new the fHrmer drives his docile team and the gentle herds of domestic culture are browsing peacefully, the wild Indian's whoop nnd the wild buffalo's tramp shook llie forest; where new float pal ace Steamers en beard of which we And nil the luxuries of civilized life was then the rude canee of sulky savage; where then was the trail of the revengeful warrior Is new the Iren path of moving palaces en which we can rest In peace whlle with llghtnlng-llke speed we arc borne en from the t rigid snows of n Maine wlnter into the tropical surroundings of a California summer: where then was clus tered the wigwams of barbarism are new the palatial business houses of mighty cities; where then flickered the dim and uncertain light of the plnoknet new bursts forth the lu minous and steady rays of the electric light; where then. If friends were separated by the dlstance of a few hundred miles they were as completely Isolated ene from another almost as If they Inhnblted different spheres, new runs the telegraph te bring nt a moment's notlce the conselntlon of our friends In afflic tion or their glowing words of congratulations in our Jeys: where then the volce that seethed us in our sorrows or chtded us In our rude ness, yea, or the volce in the meledy of whose song we found all Jey, could be stilled forever by the stern decree of death, the unparalled genius of an Edisen his mnde it possible for us te henr when the lips and heart of our loved ene are wrapped In the sffent slumbers of the grave? All this hns been the work of centuries. It has been accomplished by the slew but certntn tide of progress of the bumnn rnce under the dlvlne guidance of the great flrst cnuse who holds our destiny and determines our end. We, my friends, nre net here te-dny te lay plans for the future, or se much te glory in the fact that we are citizens of this great Kopublle as te commemorato the deeds of theso whose moral courage leve of right and hatred of wrong, led them te leave thelr homes and nntlve land te find a refuge whero, though they may be nwcstrlcken by the wall of mennlng forests and terrified by the whoop of wild Indian nnd wild ani mal, had nothing te fear from that most obnoxious thin? en the face of Ged's creation, n civilized tyrant. Yes, hore though the wild winds were walling without nnd the snows of the Northern climes would almost cover the huts of our fathers, they had noth ing te fear from grent men's displeasure. Hore were no titled dudes or crowned Imbe ciles te tnke from them the fruits of their honest Inber nnd bold lu a state of serfdom und slavery them and their children from generation te generation, nnd here they taught their children theso lessens of liberty which sank dcep Inte their hearts and minds and brought forth theso results which cul minated In the establishment of the flrst peeple's government the world ever saw and set upon her throne the first Goddess of Liberty that ever looked down upon a, peeple who reduced te practical utility the doctrines of ancient songs und stories coined In her prnlse. Away upon the bleak and barren shores of Massachusetts In lttt) landed in mid mid wlnter these hardy pioneers the Pilgrim fathers, who, though they may have hnd nnd doubtless did have seme faults of their own, had seme as sturdy virtues and manly traits as ever possessed the souls of men. Frem thnt tlme en begins the history of our country, a history that reads llke u romnuce. Hut be cause of this wonderful progress we should net be led te bollevo that liberty was easily attained. We should net presume that It sprang Inte oxlstcnce llke the wonders of Aladdin's lamp, but by slew and tedious pre cesses it was evolved from the benms of light that from tlme te tlme flashed en the minds of men until, llke water that had been pent up by walfe unnble te restrain It, It burst the bnnksy&f oppression and shed Its gentle and ennobling Influence en an oppressed land de graded raee, lifting them te thnt piano of freedom en which we find them ut the present dny. Ne, follew-eltUens, liberty was net the work of a day nor was it achieved by mngie. Our fnthors'understeod what It was te cost and they freely nnd voluntarily made up their minds te pay the terrlble price. England had ceme lu after our fathers nnd their Immedlate children had been laid te rest In the besom of the forests which they bad subdued, and asked te be reoegnhwd as the kind and tonder mother of ebtldren whom she had bHnlshed from her suportnaternal besom and left te struggle for themselr.es for ever one hundred years, whlle want and pe.tlloneo and savage warfare threatened te sweep them from Jho earth. Hut the history of that kind old oppressor that was glven the men of 17J8 by their anoetters, coupled with the lewnnt of Independeaee they bad lmbbed from the hills and dales, rolling rivers and waving forests that surrounded tbem, spoke te them In thun- ttytt ONE CENT. der tones nnd bade them stake their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor te pre vent England from fastening theso chains en tbem which she had been forging for years In order that she might have them In readiness te enslave them when they could pay a revenue. The war of the Revolution wns fought, and every schoolboy knows the result. Our Inde pendence was wen. Hut hs Jehn Adams pre dicted, It did cost motley. It did cost bleed nnd It has richly compensated for both. The nude and starving army at Valley Ferge with Washington at its head was never equaled be be bo eoro In the history of the world for patlent endurance and all the soldler-llke qualities that It takes te 11 re the benrt and steel the nerve te a determination te win the victory or or dle in the attempt. English geld was offered them In unstinted quantities if they would lay down thelr arms and desert the cnuse of liberty nnd humanity, but theso who brought the message of England's bribery were hnnged for their pains. After we were established en what some regarded ns n solid basis In a governmental way nnd our Institutions were bidding fair te show a preminency of character net expected by the mother country, she mnde n second attempt te strnngle the child Liberty while still In Its swaddling clothes, but be It snld te the glory and credit of the men who carried the stars and stripes through the war of 1812, old England received n mero complete whip ping In that scrape than she did before, and six months or nearly se after pence had been declared old hickory Jacksen, net having heard of the peace, In a battle that has Immor talized his name was about te save our old antagonist the trouble of sending ships for the remnant of men whom she had sent here te fight against us. Yes, who has net heard of the battle of New Orleans " Where Pnckenham, he made his brags If he in tight was lucky, He'd have the girls In cotton bags In splte of old Kentucky." Again the bright sun of peace Is seen rising abeve the horizon of our beloved laud, and bright premises for the future seem in store for coming generations, when we see again the dark cloud of war gathering en our borders. This tlme It Is Mexico that Is becom ing obstreperous. Hut when the last gun nt Cerre Gorde was fired Mexico was net only willing te behave herself with decent respect but anxious te pay us for the trouble we had In chastising her by ceding te us a large portion of her territory nnd mnklng the Hlo Grande the boundary line between the two countries. Passing ever that uneventful period of our country's history se far as war Is concerned from 1946 te 18fll we ceme te what was net only the greatest crisis In the history of this land but the greatest crisis In the history of the human race. England had tried and tried in vain te conquer us The favored classes of that aristocratic country saw with great dis pleasure that the people's government was growing In favor and In strength. All the old governments of Europe were beginning te think that the pretended commission which they received from Ged te oppress their fellow-man was about te be revoked by an Indignant human race who saw In the old world by the reflected light of our govern ment the great wrongs te which they had been subjected in the name of Ged by crowned and brainless heads who were com missioned by the most high (according te their statement) te coin the sweat and bleed of the masses Inte geld In order that they might live In splendor whlle often the peeple whom they were sent by Ged te protect languished In poverty and squalor. Yes. here and here in this land nlone had the torch of civilization been placed In the hands of the Geddess of Llberty with orders te coax and lend the "rnce out from the darkness of barbarism Inte the light of freedom which Is the birthright nnd Ged-glvcn herltnge of every man, whlte and black. Yes, here our fathers hnd ceme nnd established n school in which they taught and speke of liberty ns something thnt should be known, possessed and enjoyed; net as the nnclents did they allegorize nnd enshrlne it ns an Ideal goddess. We hnd fought through three wars, met foreign enemies en a thousand battlefields and sent them all away declaring that the American en his natlve soil fighting for liberty was Invincible. We had exteuded our territory mero than ene half; we had built railroads, steamboats and telegraph lines far In excess of any peeple In the world; our citizens held the proud nnd well deserved honor of being the discoverers of all the grent Inventions of the age; we had mere happy homes within our borders than any Natien under the sun; we had strengthened our government until our standing as a Natien was the envy of the world; we hnd carried the stars and stripes, floating ut the mast head et our merchant ships. Inte every civilized pert en earth, and wrung from narrow-minded nrlstecracy that decent re spect for the opinions of mankind whluh they never knew before; In n word, we had dem onstrated te the satisfaction of nil thinking men and women that the dlvlne right of Kings te rule and oppress the human race was a myth; nnd taught the world the great lessen that u man may be a gentleman In a peasant's garb or n King though he were no crown but the murk of honest tell en his brew. Yes, by arduous tell and untold sacrifices we had climbed the heights of freedom and placed the Hag of our country nigh en theso pinnacles of deflatye whero foreign feo dare net Insult. Hut, lelfcscJj a cloud and hear again the hearse mutterinis et ominous war. I sec the horizon darkening. I hear men talk with bated breath mid pallid lips. I see the glaring headline of envious strife that marks the Jeur nals of our land and I ask whence comes this alarm. Hns old Englnnd ngaln buckled en her armeur und ceme out en our seas and plains ence mero te rob us of our freedom? Hns Mexico gathered strength nnd resolution te try and regain her lest territory, or hns the spirits of ten thousand red men risen from their forest graves te reclaim from us the land of our fathers? Ah, no, fellow-eltlzens, this tlme It is no foreign feo; this tlme It Is no Engllshraau, Mexlcan or savage warrior that comes te threaten the homes of our mothers, our wives, our sisters and our daughters. Hut It Is brother against brother, father against son, members of the same housoheld eften en opposite sldes engaged In ene or the most sanguinary struggles of which history speaks. If It were possible I would draw the veil of aetual recollection ever this mighty struggle, se thafyeu all would knew It only as I de as an historical episode. But this can not be dene, for I knew that I am new looking Inte the faces of wires and husbands who have felt what It Is te say farowell and part, the one te the red floldet strife and carnage, and the ether je these prayerful days, these sgertlste tearful nbjfetf when the heart of the faithful wife, ient'by, the sword of an guish, en bearing hew that her natural pro pre pro tecterjiad'becn slain tn the clash of arms, shed ai holy bleed as ever dewed the field of battle. Yei, I knew that I am talking te veterans te-day tbnt lived In these days that tried men's souls. I knew that I am talking te women here te-day who, though they were denied the privilege of being actually present at the Wilderness, Gettysburg, Shlleh or Franklin were there as truly In spirit as the guardian angel that watches evor the thoughts of an Innecent child. Hut that awful strlfe is passed, and the angel of union has again exteuded the ollve branch of peace, nnd the question new Is, What should be the feelings of theso one towards another who were matched In arms during that sanguinary struggle? Should one bitter word be spoken or ene vindictive thought be entertained by the brave soldier that were the blue towards bis equally brave brother that were the gray? When the sun shine of peace bursts through the dark and awful clouds of war and dissipates them should It net bear away In Its gentle beams all tbe envy, malice and hatred that rankled In the breast of men during that dreadful period and make them realize again that they are brothers? Should net the gentle influence of peace, prosperity and happiness In a united country call out from the heart of every Amerlcan citizen praises toward Ged and love for bis fellow-men? Should they net clasp hands ever the graves of thelr brave com rades, realizing that lere Is stronger than hnte and swear, net vengoance like Hannibal of old, but eternal leve and fealty toward each ether, their Ged, their country and them selves? Should they net Jein In teaching their children thnt leve of their country and Its flag that whenever the defense of cither re quire the peer sacrifice of their lives the vic tims will be ready at tbe appointed time? Should they net ns a pious duty teach them this prayer of the immortal Webster: "When the night of death Is gathering about me and my eyes nre turned for the last tlme te beheld the sun in heaven, may they see him shining en n country net tern by internal strifes and bit ter disunions, but may they see him shining en tbe stars and stripes waving ever a prosper ous and contented people whose motto shall be Union new and Union forever, one and undivided." North and Seuth, East and West should be taught te feci and bollere as the great here of Appomattox did when he said te the world and proved It by his actions that he was net outraged in a warfare of revenge. They should be taught te feel and bollevo as the great Hebert E. Lee did who never let a sun go down without praying for the welfare'and prosperity of his ceuutry. Yes, the charac ter, the words nnd deeds of that great man should in a peculiar way govern and guide the peeple of the North and Seuth and be Instru mental in bringing about theso fraternal feel ings of leve and union se necessary te the progress nnd happiness of our common coun try. After the war he wns offered at different times places of great honor and trust, but his answer te tbem nil was "Ne, I cannot; I have led the young men of the Seuth In battle, and I shall new spend tbe remainder of my days in teaching tbem te leve thelr common coun try." Yes, I think, fellow-citizens, that the ex ample of the great men who led the peeple et the North and Seuth in that mighty struggle Is truly a cloud by day and a pillar of Ore by night te lead the American peeple out again en the high and holy plane of fraternal love and union. Whether it be Sherman, Sheri dan, Themas, Lee or the Hen of Shlleh, the great commander of modern times that spoke or wrete net a word de we find that warrants us In feeling that there was aught In the heart of any of theso great men but love for their country and an anxious solicitude that Its free Institutions might llve te hand down te future generations the blessings of llberty. And this, fellow-citizens, and this alone is the teachibg of the Grand Army of the He public. The political demagogue nnd trickster may sneer at you old battle-scarred veterans and say that you served your country for a pen sion, but you can afford te let all such ground less criticisms pass Inte the realms of oblivion tn company with the ignoble critics who make them, and be content te knew that you have done your whele duty tn helping te sustain the cause of liberty through the flery ordeal of war, for which you will evor have the reverence and respect of a grnteful people nnd tbe substantial remombrance of the greatest government In the world. And as jeu meet from year te year te place theso emblems of tendercst love en the graves of our departed comrades, ns each returning sprlngtlme creates them anew, you are teach ing u practical lessen of patriotism te the ris ing generation who will, as time crystnllzes the great value of your services, rovcrence you the mere, and you will be preparing your own souls, by deeds of exalted charity, te take thelr place tn tbe ranks of the Omnipo tent Commander of the Unlverse in thnt land "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are ut rest."
