At this interesting moment, mingled With the music of the band and the firbig of a salute, President Wills an nounced that Hon. O. P. Morton, Senator from Indiana, would pronouncethe Oration. ' Senator Morton then addressed 1 the audience. He recounted eloquently 'the - battle of Gettysburg, saying it r - suliedin destraYing the prestige of tne rebel army, never to be recovered. By :one victories at Gettysburg . and Vicki!, burg, the rebellion lost its prestige in 'Eu rope and all hopes of foreign intervention. At the foot of this monument sleep he roes of l battle.

He paid if grateful, ' compliment to the courage;of the rebel-dead. - . • The rebellion was caused 'by the false belief that chivalry and • glory were the inheritance only of slaveholders. But now rebellion, the offspring of slavery, bath murdered its unnatural parent, and and a perfect reign of liberty is at hand, The principles of liberty will be borne. through all ages, %and.the oraspact for liberty throughout the world was never'" so bright as to-day. He then reviewed the advance of liberty ;Onto 1776 in the old world. ': 1 Of Cuba he said she is making bold, vig brims, ,and as we trust, success:ld efforts tce`throw off the Spanish yoke and mob- ' bah her independence. Though we cannot rightfully intervene between Spain and her colony, which she.has so long O. pressed and impoverished, our sympa thies are with the Cubans,' and we cannot regret any'aid they may I receive which does not involve a breach 'of the interna tional duty of our Governu y Erlat. 1 After . referring to - the progressive. strides liberty is making, ' even in Eng land, he recounted the numerous dilli/ ,culties encountered in putting down the 1 rebellion; but contended , that the ,juslice ' of our cause enabled the ;final final victory to be won. N ' 1 He concluded as follows: We seek not to commemorate a triuMph over ; our • misguided Countrymen.; It islhe cause we celebrate. Our triumphils their's, and their children's children unto the. latest generation.
