Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 31. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Robert Edward Lee. (search)
sion of the highest and finest ideals of public and private life that two centuries of Virginia civilization has evolved. It is for reasons of this sort that Virginians wish to place a statue of Lee by the side of that of Washington in the rotunda of the national Capitol. In making this selection there is no thought in Virgini therefore, of a notable Lee statue for the galaxy of great Americans in the national Capitol. So that while the North makes no objection, it has been left for Virginians to suggest objections and to say that we are trying to place a statue of Lee on Northern soil. Again, I ask, sir, whose country is this anyway, and whose Capuntry, and its most glorious memories will be blotted out. When we think of the debt of gratitude which this country owes to Virginia it seems to me that we, as Virginians, ought indeed to feel that we are in our father's house, and not talk or act as if the Federal government were a foreign power and we were in fear of straining

Look at yonder pile! Where in all this, or in any other land, can you find the effigies of so many men that were both good and great? There stands Washingtois minions from our soil. We can't stop even to name the great events which occurred between 1787 and 1861, in which Virginians figured, both as the civic and military leaders of the country, and can only say that during thirty-six out of the seve

hat they do not, in their criticisms on Virginia and her people, reflect the real feelings of North Carolinians towards Virginians; and (2) Because neither the people of Virginia, nor the soldiers sent by her to the Confederate armies need any defencent Davis, who made all these appointments, was not a Virginian, there was no reason why he should have been partial to Virginians unless their merits warranted it. And, in our opinion, no good reason is given by this writer for any such alleged miscX, Part II, p. 723. As to the civil positions of honor and trust, of which this writer says, one-half were filled by Virginians, and that Richmond thought all should be thus filled: If he means by this to charge that Virginia had a larger number oded. Surely, comment here is unnecessary, and no one who has read Longstreet's book will accuse him of partiality to Virginians. We next quote from the report of that gallant soldier and splendid gentleman, General James H. Lane, who was at fir
