Lincoln's matchless speech, cast in bronze, was added to the original design. The granite of the monument was procured from Westerly, R. I., the marble of the figures from -Cararra. It was dedicated July 1st, 1869, on which occa- sion General Meade delivered an address, Governor O. P. Morton, of Indiana, an oration, and Bayard Taylor a poem. From this last we extract the fitting lines of the conclusion: "Thus, in her seat secure, Where now no distant menaces can reach her, At last in undivided ...freedom pure, She sits, th' unwilling world's unconscious teacher ; And, day by day, beneath serener skies, • Th' unshaken pillars of her palace rise— The Doric shafts, that lightly upward press, And hide in grace their giant massiveness. What though the sword has hewn each corner-stone, And precious blood cements the deep foundation ? Never by other force haA^e empires grown ; From other basis never rose a nation ! For strength is born of struggle, faith of doubt. Of discord law, and freedom of oppression.
