The States then may wholly withdraw from the Union, but while they continue they must retain the character of representative republics. Tucker, of Virginia, is as explicit as Rawle on this point. President Jefferson Davis wrote me, July 1st, 1886: Rawle on the Constitution, was the text-book at West Point, but when the class of which I was a member entered the graduating year, Kent's Commentaries were introduced as the text-book on the Constitution and international law.

An occasional philosopher marks his disapproval by a declaration, in forma pauperis, andrations in our Constitution of the equality of all men are producing legitimate fruit in the United States. The tendency of our government to centralize unduly the functions of the government at Whe Confederacy were descended almost entirely from a common ancestry. The armies of the Confederate States were distinguished by the same general characteristics. There were local influences whi

Address of honorable R. T. Bennett, late Colonel 13th North Carolina Infantry, C. S. A. At the Laying of the corner-stone of the Confederate Monument at Raleigh, N. C., May 22, 1894. Zzzmorale of the Confederate. In happy phrase Col. Kenan introduced Col. R. T. Bennett, who said: We ask the prayers of this great company of Christian people while we speak of the men and arms, whose memory the cornerstone just laid is to hold in perpetuity for generations to follow us after some time be past. The sound of the war, in which the armies of the Confederate States were worn down by repeated blows of superior numbers, has grown faint. Already, time lends to the events of that struggle, which were the most energetic and tumultuous in their accomplishment, the air of repose. The South, inspired by lofty ideals of duty and stimulated by precious faith, has done well in preserving, amidst poverty and toil, the wholesome truths of that great struggle. The fullness of time

It is by force of this principle: That bravery never goes out of fashion. Margaret, of Richmond, the mother of Henry the Seventh, would often say: That if the Princes of Christendom would combine themselves and march against the common enemy, the Turk, she would most willingly attend them and be their laundress in camp. Her chaplain, Fisher, preaching the funeral sermon, said of her, everyone that knew her loved her, and everything she said or did became her. A resolution as noble, courage as pathetic, and faculties as beautiful as these, distinguished the women of the South during the long agony of the war. So indispensable is courage in the performance of the ordinary duties of life, that we admire it even in error. The Confederate dead—our dead—our precious dead—by their valor, achieved a name which deserves to end<

ve. If the courage of these Confederates, who stepped from their homes into the army and were soldiers, was admirable, the principles for which they contended cannot be over stated. The right of local self-government lay at the very root of the struggle and conflict between the government and the Confederate States. The natural leaders of the South, trained in correct methods of observation and reasoning, in politics, saw the impending danger and gave the alarm. Mr. Crawford, of Georgia, advised secession on the part of the South as early as 1820. There was no doubt then about the right of a State to secede from the Union. Rawle, the Pennsylvanian, in his book on the Constitution, says: The secession of a State from the Union depends on the will of the people of such State. The States then may wholly withdraw from the Union, but while they continue they must retain the character of representative republics. Tucker, of Virginia, is as explicit as Rawle on this

The most perfect oration which has been rescued from the rigor of time is that of Pericles over the dead who perished in the first campaign of Peloponesian war. These men, like our comrades in the great war, fell short of success. What is it that gave to these countrymen of Pericles their imperishable renown? The philosophy, thePericles their imperishable renown? The philosophy, the science, the literature and intellect of ancient Greece may be traced in their influence on all after ages of the western world.
