REJOICING IN THE DECLINE OF THE REBELLION. REMARKS AT A PUBLIC MEETING IN FANEUIL HALL, SEPTEMBER 6, 1864. At this meeting Governor Andrew presided and spoke. He was followed by Hon. Alexander H. Rice, Hon. George S. Boutwell, Hon. Henry Wilson, and General Cutler of the Army, when Mr. Sumner was introduced. The report says: “He was received with great cheering and the waving of hats and handkerchiefs for a considerable time.” He at length spoke as follows. MR. MAYOR AND FELLOW-CITIZENS:-- Listening to the gallant soldier now taking his seat, I was reminded of the saying from the far East, “Words are the daughters of Earth, but deeds are the sons of Heaven.” [_Loud applause._] A noble officer comes before you, fresh from the Army of the Potomac; but he gives words also which in themselves are deeds [_renewed applause_], for he tells you plainly, truly, how to meet the great issue before us. Sir, what has been said so well, so bravely, and so eloquently by the speakers who have addressed you leaves little for me. I have not come to make a speech. The summons was to assemble for congratulation upon those great victories which have given assurance of the integrity of the Union, and I am here for this purpose. [_Applause._] We celebrate to-night two victories,--each a heavy blow, under which the Rebellion reels and staggers to its final fall. [_Cheers._] Admiral Farragut, by a naval expedition incomparable in the hardihood and skill with which it was planned and executed, has occupied all the approaches of Mobile, so that this important port is now, thank God, hermetically sealed against those English supplies which from the beginning have been the source of encouragement and strength to the Rebellion. [_Applause._] General Sherman, on his part, by a marvellous succession of battles and of marches, overcoming obstacles interposed by Nature and a stubborn foe, has shown triumphantly that our army can march and then fight, march and then fight again, and conquer [_applause, and “Good!”_], while by the capture of Atlanta he has shattered the very key-stone of the Rebel arch. [_Renewed applause._] These, fellow-citizens, are the victories we commemorate.
