They had not followed; they had led. “And so- -as 1 told them—fully con scious that 1 was walking on’ ashett still hot, in the very creator of what had within all our memories been the most terrific volcano of a century— walking there amid sulphurous mem ories. 1 chose for my theme t he con stitutional ethics.of secession.

The reception of what I said^Jiad justified my faith in those to wh )ine I said it. Never have I met with mdfe cordial welcome—ndver did i receive a more fraternal response. “Next came the Confederate vet erans of New York; they called,>and t At this banquet■ given In honor of the memory of Robert & Lee 1 am asked to respond to a sentiment in his honor, and, without reservation, I do so; for, as a Massachusetts man, 1 s0e in him exemplified Xhdke lofty ele ments of personal character, which, typifying Virginia, made Washington possible- Tlie possession of such qualities by an opponent cannot huf cause a thrill of satisfaction frofh* the a commanding general than that, for sense that we also, as foe no less than as oountpy-men, were w orthy^of-irtm. and of those whom huJtypiiied.

Of him, what shall I say? Essentially a solidler, as a soldier Robert E. Liee was a marly-sided man. 1 might speak of him as a strategist; but, of tins aspect, of the min, enough has perhaps been said. 1 m ghU refer to the respect , the confi dence and love with which lie inspired those under his command. I might dilate on his restraint in victory; his resource and patient endurance hi the face of adverse fortune; the serene dignity with which he, in the end* triumphed over defeat. But, over all these well-worn themes shall contine myself to that one attri bute-, of his which, recognized in a soldier by an opponent, I cannot but regard as his surest an i loftiest title to enduring fame. 1 refer to his humanity in arms, and his scrupulous regard for the most advanced rules of civilized warfare. “On this point, two views I am well aware have been taken from the be ginning, and still are advanced. On the one side it iscontended^hat war fare should be strictly confined to com batants, and its horrors and devasta tions brought within the narrowest limit*—that private property should be respected, and devastation and viol ence limited to that necessary to over come armed opposition at the vital points of conflict. This by some. But, on the other hand, it is Insisted that such a method of procedure Is mere I, arid tl iat true humanity lies! in exaggerating that hell to such an extent as to make it unendurable.

'Melae: \hd.here, as a soldier of the Army of tlie Potomac, let me lx:ar my testi mony,to such of the Army of Northern Virginia as may now be—present. While war at best is bad'yet its neces sary and unavoidable badness was not in that campaign enhanced. In scope and spirit Lee’s order was observed, and I i.oubt if a hostile force ever ad vanced in an enemy’s country, or fell back from it in retreat, leaving behind it less cause of hate and bitterness than did the Army of Northern Vir ginia in that memorable campaign which culminated at Gettysburg. Be cause he was a soldier. Lee did not feel it incumbent upon him to pro claim himself a brute, or to exhort his followers to brutality. - ^ “I have paid my tribute/ One word more and I have done. Some six months ago, in a certain academic ad dress at Chicago, 1 called to mind the fact that a statue of Oliver Cromwell now stood in the yard, of Parliament House in London, close t<j that histor ic hall of Westminster, from the roof of which his severed head liad once looked down.
