But this martyr's death shall tell to future genera- tions the value of freedom. The future patriot, histo- rian, Christian, when he reads the history of the admin- istration now closed ; when he shall have visited the homes now desolated, and listened to the recital of sor- row that can never be written ; when he shall have visited a hundred battle-fields, and seen the soil strewed with the bones of noble freemen, and shall then come to the grave of Lincoln, and read there the lesson we are re...ading to-day, will have learned something of the price we have paid for liberty. But the tree of liberty is firmly planted upon our soil now. Its roots strike into half a million of free- men's graves ; its centre-root strikes to the bottom of our President's grave ; and there is no despot's hand can uproot that tree. It is well watered now, — watered by the blood of America's best ; and it will grow well. The meanest of America's sons who has freely bled in this struggle for liberty has shed better blood than any monarch on the globe has to shed.
