Grand and noble Grady, we mourn your death; but we know a soul
so radiant with love for humanity, is now at rest with the redeemed.
GEORGIA’S NOBLE SON.
The sweet, pacific tone of his mind gave him a wonderful influence
over the masses. More than once when disturbing questions were
agitating the city, and party and personal feeling ran high, has he by
his conciliatory spirit and harmless pleasantry quelled the boisterous
multitude. This spirit was ever fruitful of methods and concessions by
which all could harmonize. It was the cropping out of these broad,
liberal views in the fields of national patriotism that arrested the
attention of other sections of the Union, and gave rise to calls for
Grady to address the people at the meeting of the Historical Society
in New York over two years ago. The eloquent utterances of the
young orator, as he painted the Confederate soldier returning from
the war, ragged, shoeless and penniless, fired the Northern heart
with a sympathy for the South it had never known before.
From this time his fame as an orator was established, and he was
at once ranked among the greatest living orators of the day.
Thoughtful men of the North, recognizing the race problem as one
of the coming momentous issues of the future, were eager to hear
the broad views and patriotic suggestions of this great pacificator. An
invitation was there extended by the Merchants’ Association of
Boston to address them at Faneuil Hall. The address seemed to call
forth all his capacious powers, and is styled the crowning
masterpiece of his life. As he graphically sketched the happy results
of the sun shining upon a land with all differences harmonized, with
all aspirations purified by the limpid fount of patriotism, he sketched
a panorama of loveliness and beauty and promise that enraptured
his hearers. And as the notes of the dying swan thrill with new
melody, so the last utterances of the dying statesman will have now
a new charm for those who loved him.
THE SOUTH LAMENTS.
