In answer to an address of Governor Eustace denouncing the conduct of the Peace party, during the war, the House of Representatives of Massachusetts, in June, 1893. sav-ss The change of the political sentiment evinced in the late elections, forms indeed new era in the history of our Commonwealth.-lt is the triumph of req son over passion, of patriotism over party spirit. Massachusetts has returned to her first love, and IS no longer stranger in the J .aicr. zss ss S-Taj oise that, though curing the late war, such measures were adopted ln this State, as occasioned double sacri- flee of treasure and of life: covered the friends of the nation with humiliation and mourning, and fixed stain on the naoe of our history redeeming spirit has at length arisen to take away our reproach. and restore to us our good name, our rank among our sister States, and our just inau- ence in the Union.

 Though we would not renew contentious or irritate wantonly, we believe that there are cases, when 1t is necessary we should ss wound to heal.' And we consider it a. mong the first duties of our National Gov erinent, on this return of power, to disa- VOW the eunwarrantable course pursued by this State during the late war and to hold mp the measures of that period as beacons, that the present and succeeding. genera tions may shun that career which must in- eyitably terminate in the destruction of the individual or the party who pursues it.. and may learn the important lesson that, in all times, tle path of duty is the path of safety and that 1t is never dangerous to rally around the standard Of our country.
