g, a fierce and terrible war, waged by the United States for subjugation and by the Confederate StaConfederate States for existence. For a long time the contest seemed doubtful, but finally victory was declared for the United States and the Confederate flag was furled forever, and in its folds were enclosed thethem at the hands of the government of the United States? Who can view the wreck and ruin around u to establish terms of friendship with the United States, thus showing that no hostility was felt to the people, or to the government of the United States. A calm retrospect of the history of the United States affords just grounds for wonder that the sectional controversy, which culminated in ry, shall view the course of events in the United States, will discover and record the solemn truthing of bitterness to the government of the United States.

of our struggle and its patriot heroes. The rainbow which spans the heavens amid the cloud, and with its varied hues of unrivalled brilliancy ravishes with its beauties all beholders, is a memorial of the covenant made by God with all flesh to spare the earth from devastation by another flood. The Passover, so scrupulously observed every year by the children of Israel, by command of God, is a memorial of their great deliverance from Egyptian bondage. And the Lord's Supper, instituted by Christ for the observance of His followers, is a memorial of His sufferings and death, to show them forth until He comes. And though your Memorial Day is designed to commemorate no covenant, nor deliverance, nor salvation, it is becoming the fair women of this land to observe with annually recurring punctuality a memorial of the privations, hardships, perils and deaths of the noble martyrs to a cause they deemed right and loved unto death. Greater love can no man have for any cause than to be rea

The lost cause. A Masterly vindication of it by Judge J. A. P. Campbell. in an Address delivered at Canton, May 1, 1874, on the occasion of the Decoration of the graves of Confederate soldiers. Ladies and gentlemen,—We have assembled to commemorate the day set apart among us as a memorial of the Confederate struggle for independence. The observance of memorials of great epochs is proper and sanctioned by custom. People usually celebrate their successes—we, our grand effort for freedom and right, which deserved, but did not achieve success. There is danger that, with the lapse of time and change of circumstances amid the cares of life, the survivors of the Confederate cause may forget, or neglect, the duty they owe to those who fell victims to the contest and to themselves. It is right to keep alive, by repeated consideration, the spirit of patriotism which inspired our Southern movement and led to the sacrifice of the brave soldiers of our cause, whose graves we will this

n apprehension of danger seriously threatening momentous interests, and a natural desire to avert it; that they were aroused by a conviction of the necessity of action to avert calamity and obtain security to valuable rights; that their fathers of 1776 asserted independence of interference with their local interests and took up arms to sustain their course, and that the people of the South were more seriously threatened, and had far greater interests imperiled, and saw a government made for common defence and general welfare about to be wrested from the purpose of its institution and employed as an instrument of their oppression and destruction; and thus situated, and thus believing, they imitated the example of the patriots of 1776, and sought, in peace and quiet, to assume the management of their own matters; that they declared their withdrawal from a Union that threatened the safety of their rights and institutions; that they formed a confederate government, taking the Constitution

Her sons were foremost in the Revolutionary struggle, her statesmen conspicuous in the councils of the government. The banner of the Union was never unfurled on land or sea, where danger was to be encountered and death endured in her service, when Southern men did not rally around it. The brightest laurels of the wars of the Revolution, of 1812, and of 1846, were plucked on fields of carnage by Southern soldiers, while the whole people of the South rendered the homage of patriotic hearts to the glories of the American Union. That it might be perpetual was the fervent wish of every Southern soul. It was in large measure the work of Southern minds and hands. The Declaration of Independence itself was the offspring of Southern intellect. Southern valor contributed largely to maintain it. The Constitution was, in a great degree, the
