I ries of ; sanguinary and; wasting • battles, I which ended for the Corps at lietbsada. Church. In every one Of, these the Re serve Corps proudly upheld its ancient reputation for dauntless courage, uncav All these acts are fresh in yOur memories, and I are 'indelibly inscribed on the pages of ) history, and lovinglyr _ consecrated in 1 thW hearts of a grateu l. , people.. And now, as we look back over the Corps' three years• arduous andev;tful servieei - and comprehend tho nobili and graridelir of its career and splendor of its record, and also estimate the magnitude of its influence and aid in maintaining the Union and con- I quering the rebellion, and behold the uni- 1 : versal homage yielded to its name and fame, ' our hearta may well throb with exultant emotions of joy and pride in the reflection : that we too belonged to the Pennsylvania i REAM efi. 1 If one were to inquire what good results 1 the country has gathered from threeyears I of war and expenditure of treasure and 1 life, the answer Is easy and satisfactory. Questions, vital to the existence and sta. bitity of the Government, .have been defi nitely and permanently settled, and prin- 1 ciples and institutions have been elimi nated from our system, which Were eon-': Hood. sources of irritation and'Adiscord, hindrance to radioed honiogenitY, and a humiliating reproach to our professed' , Re publicanism. The problem of the ;durabil- , itv and self-sustaining power of free, t•op- i filar governnient , s has been solved, and the truth demonstrated that they are stronger, more flexible, and vital than any other, and better adapted to meet and overcome internal troubles and convulsiontf. At the same time our national strength and re sources have been so wonderously devel oped as to amaze the world by their Mag nitude, and create in the flattops a I pro.us, found respect for our power and geni and a wholesome dread of our hostility. Serious and economical barriers,which, be fore, separated and alienated one section of the country from the other, and engen dered rival animosities, fierce and turbulent in their manifestations, have been swept I away by the flood of progress, and no lon ger hinder free and unrestrained inter • communication. Sectional pride and local prejudices: , are irretrievably bro- I ken and displaced by a- na y tional, cosmopolitan spirit, - that 'joy- 1 fully secures ..and- -carries, throughout the entire area of our country, whatever tends Ito consolidate national unity, diversify I and distribute industrial pursuits, . promote harmony, and, blend into happy and fra ternal life the citizens of our now resen.. crated land. There is no longer a North and a South, in the old bitter signification of the words. Emigration and capital are pouring vitalizing correlate of trade and activity into long neglected channels' of enterprise, living and regenerating popu lations, whose voices will soon. blend. in harmony with other vetoes, all over our _ , expanded territory, as they shout aloud a glad recognition of the sublime axiom, "All men aro created equal, and are en dowed by their Creator with certain in alienable rights, among which aro life, liberty and the pursuit 'of heppinese." The people, baying but one code of po ical ethics, and but -one object of, national affection, will irresistably consolidate into harmonious- thought artd:actlon, and•flnd .under the dgeqrgecals emblems of the Re public, whatever is 'of vital and most es sential importance to public happiness.' Then man will find pe rfect _ freedom and full opportunity for self development, and unlimited exercise lb? the , employment of . his.noblest powers and faoulties,-in the purl. suit and acquisition of.knowledge, - virtue and happiness: Ilere,the prizelplif of free -.dem will permanently abide and continue to grow in strength and beauty, until the whole earth is_ravished with the sled of its loveliness, until all people are imbued with' its spirit, and indoctrinated with its ,teach- Inge, and wooed into the adoption , of Re publican tustitUtions. Under its new and more :vigorous life, our country:will Idiot on a renewed career of aseniiness and greatness, and .furnish a boundless field for the expansion and \ re• generation' of all true -social, economical. and governmentaltreblemaa.3 Al ,r• ' • : softened Here all labor will be honored, Ind amellorated.'-illnventive': genius twill eons:pies limiter and harness- itaailtet to the chariot of industry and enterprise, and by subtle and sagacious , contrivances ex- Archie the :spirit ,of, the :primeval.. curse.
