Text Appearing Before Image:
f the na-tives, so little intercourse was there betweenthem and their conquerors; compare it withthe fact that for four hundred years after theNorman conquest there was no fusion betweenthe Norman and Saxon tongues. In truth, allhistory teaches that the humiliation of defeatby a foreign foe is felt for ages, while that ofdefeat by the same race is temporary andsoon forgotten. The late Civil War was re-lieved of very much of its sectional characterby the presence of so many Southerners in theUnion armies. Therefore, it will be in theUnited States as in all the unsectional civilwars of the worlds history in which race andreligion were not involved,— the waves of ob-livion will roll over the bitter recollections ofthe strife. But Ave trust that fragrant foreverwill be the memory of deeds of heroism, pa-tience, fortitude, self-denial, and constancy toprinciple; whether those deeds were per-formed by the wearers of the blue or the grayfrom their respective standpoints of duty. D. H Hill.
