Description:Excerpt from Memorial Day: Oration On being introduced by Hon. Henry C.Dibble, Mr. Sumner said: Mr. President, Comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is right that one day "of all the weary year" should be set apart and dedicated to the commemoration of the deeds of the civil war; and especially to the grateful consideration of the record of those who fought and fell in that struggle, and thus contributed most indubitably and effectually to the achievement of the greatest of triumphs for the institutions of civil liberty. It should be a separate time; it cannot properly be joined with other objects. Our great national anniversary still largely if not wholly retains its ancient significance, and all its former precedence; - only enhanced, indeed, by the glory of the valor and the Union victories of the later conflict. The birthday of a President or General, however renowned and worthy of special remembrance he might be, could not have been fitly selected for such a purpose, as undue personal emphasis and invidious distinctions would then have been among is the inevitable and discordant results. Nor is there a single notable event of the war - of battle or decree - not even the issuance of the emancipation proclamation it self - that so stamps and dignifies the hours, with such direct and related influences, as to imperatively or justifyingly control this appointment. It must be a day by itself. And so it is. The pre-eminent propriety of such a designation, isolated and peculiar, and the excellence of the judgment that named the day on which we have assembled, and conducted and nearly concluded our exercises, have constituted the frequent theme of felicitous and sufficient speech.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
