For no such wretched end did our heroes die. In their last will
and testament, sealed with their blood, they have bequeathed to
us, as their dying legacy, a union stronger, nobler, freer than
ever. "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church." By
the gift of these men, and such as these, we have henceforth a
more homogeneous country and a grander and higher civilization.
