All We Ask Is To Be Let

Lay Aside All Rancor, All Bitter Sectional Feeling, And To Make Your Places In The Ranks Of Those Who Will Bring About A Consummation Devoutly To Be Wished—a Reunited Country.

Among Our Neighbors Of Central And Southern America, We See The Caucasian Mingled With The Indian And The African. They Have The Forms Of Free Government, Because They Have Copied Them. To Its Benefits They Have Not Attained, Because That Standard Of Civilization Is Above Their Race. Revolution Succeeds Revolution, And The Country Mourns That Some Petty Chief May Triumph, And Through A Sixty Days' Government Ape The Rulers Of The Earth.

At Rest An American Soldier And Defender Of The Constitution.

The Contest Is Not Over, The Strife Is Not Ended. It Has Only Entered On A New And Enlarged Arena.

God Forbid That The Day Should Ever Come When To Be True To My Constituents Is To Be Hostile To The Union.
