ag is the flag of a Nation, and not of a State--that the Nation is supreme over all people and all corporations. Call it a State; call it a section; call it a South; call it a North; call it anything you wish, and yet, armed with the nationality that God gave us, this is a Nation against all Statesovereignty and secession whatever! It is the immortality of that truth that makes these reunions, and that makes this one. You believed it on the battle-field, you believed it in the hell of Andersonville, and you believe it to-day, thank God! and you will believe it to the last gasp. Voices-Yes, we will! That's so! etc. Gen. Garfield-Well, now, fellow-citizens and fellow-soldiers-but I am not worthy to be your fellow in this work — I thank you for having asked me to speak to you. Cries of-Go on! Go on! Talk to us some more! --etc. I want to say simply that I have had one opportunity only to do you any service. I did hear a man who stood by my side in the halls of legis

, but let me say this: Nothing on the earth and under the sky can call men together for reunions except ideas that have immortal truth and immortal life in them. The animals fight. Lions and tigers fight as ferociously as did you. Wild beasts tear to the death, but they never have reunions. Why? Because wild beast's do not fight for ideas. They merely fight for blood. All these men and all their comrades went out inspired by two immortal ideas: first, that liberty shall be universal in America; and second, that this old flag is the flag of a Nation, and not of a State--that the Nation is supreme over all people and all corporations. Call it a State; call it a section; call it a South; call it a North; call it anything you wish, and yet, armed with the nationality that God gave us, this is a Nation against all Statesovereignty and secession whatever!

Garfield-I heard him declare that no kinder men ever lived than Gen. Winder and his Commander-in-chief, Jeff Davis. And I took it upon myself to overwhelm him with the proof that the tortures you suffered, the wrongs done to you, were suffered and done with the knowledge of the Confederate authorities, from Jeff Davis down — that it was a part of their poJeff Davis down — that it was a part of their policy to make you idiots and skeletons, and to exchange your broken and shattered bodies and dethroned minds for strong. robust, well-fed rebel prisoners. That policy, I affirm, has never had its parallel for atrocity in the civilized world. A voice-That's so! Gen. Garfield-It was never heard of in any land since the dark ages closed upon the earth. While history lives, men have memories. We can forgive and forget all other things before we can forgive and forget this. Finally, and i

man who commanded colored troops should be treated as a pirate, and not as a soldier — I heard that man calmly say, with his head up in the light, in the presence of this American people, that the Union soldiers were as well treated and as kindly treated in all the Southern prisons as were the rebel soldiers in all the Northern prisons. Voices-Liar! Liar! He was a liar! [Groans, hisses, and a storm of indignation.] Gen. Garfield-I heard him declare that no kinder men ever lived than Gen.

Speech of Gen. Garfield at the Andersonville Reunion at Toledo Ohio, October 3, 1879. My comrades: ladies and gentlemen: I have addressed a great many audiences, but I never before stood in the presence of one that I felt so wholly unworthy to speak to. A man who came through the war without being shot or made a prisoner, is almost out of place in such an assemblage as this. While I have listened to you this evening I have remembered the words of a distinguished English gentleman, who once said that he was willing to die for his country, but he would not do a mean act to save both his king and his country. Now, to say that a man is willing to die for his country, is a good deal; but these men who sit before us have said a great deal more than that. I would like to know where the man is that would calmly step out on the platform and say, I am ready to starve to death for my country! That is an enormous thing to say; but there is a harder thing than that. Find a man, if you
