rificing than that of the Southern people to the Union, I fail to recall it. Mr. Davis voiced the feeling of the South when he said in the Senate Chamber: If envy and jealousy and sectional strife are eating like rust into the bonds our fathers expected to bind us, they come from causes which our Southern atmosphere has never furnished. As we have shared in the toils, so have we gloried in the triumphs of our country. In our hearts, as in our history, are mingled the names of Concord, and Camden, and Saratoga, and Lexington, and Plattsburg, and Chippewa, and Erie, and Moultrie, and New Orleans, and Yorktown, and Bunker Hill. Had the South loved the Union less and clung to it less tenaciously; had she refused to make concessions and sacrifices for its preservation; had she instead of weakening herself by compromises for its sake, withdrawn from it when first her rights were assailed, the pen of the historian would never have recorded the story of Appomattox. It was her attachment t

ons and sacrifices to perpetuate, was that formed by the fathers to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty. It was a fraternal federation of sovereign States, guaranteeing equal rights to all, and leaving each free to regulate its domestic affairs in its own way. It was a union in which, in reference to questions of foreign policy, every citizen would echo the sentiment expressed by Patrick Henry, when, after Concord and Lexington, in a message to Massachusetts, he said: I am not a Virginian, I am an American, and yet it was a union in which, in reference to questions of domestic policy, every citizen, like that same great orator and patriot, would recognize the right of his own State to his highest allegiance. It was a union in which the people of each State would enjoy the blessings of local self-government, and find in home rule a safeguard against any possible attempt of the

lavery that they fought. The impartial student of the events leading up to the civil war cannot fail to perceive that, in the words of Mr. Davis, to whatever extent the question of slavery may have served as an occasion, it was far from being the cause of the conflict. That conflict was the bloody culmination of a controversy which had been raging for more than a generation, and the true issue in which, as far as it pertained to slavery, was sharply stated by the Hon. Samuel A. Foot, of Connecticut, when, referring to the debate on the admission of Missouri to the sisterhood of States, he said: The Missouri question did not involve the question of freedom or slavery, but merely whether slaves now in the country might be permitted to reside in the proposed new State, and whether Congress or Missouri possessed the power to decide. Zzzthe real question involved. And from that day down to 1861, when the war-cloud burst in fury upon our land, the real question in regard to slaver

Early yesterday morning the throng of watchers who had gathered on the pier at West Point saw far down the stream the sable and gold of Maryland's State flag glittering proudly in the sunshine. The old banner waived from the masthead of the Baltimore, on board of which were over 200 enthusiastic ex-Confederates. They comprised the membership of the Society of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States in Maryland, in command of the president, General Bradley T. Johnson. When the boat arrived at the pier the visitors marched ashore, headed by the band, and took the train for Richmond.

in their march through the enemy's country they left behind them no fields wantonly laid waste, no families cruelly robbed of subsistence, no homes ruthlessly violated. In no case, says an English writer, had the Pennsylvanians to complain of personal injury, or even discourtesy, at the hands of those whose homes they had burned, whose families they had insulted, robbed and tormented. Even the tardy destruction of Chambersburg was an act of regular, limited and righteous reprisal. The Pennsylvania farmer, whose words were reported by a Northern correspondent, paid to the Southern troops no more than a merited tribute when he said of them: I must say they acted like gentlemen, and, their cause aside, I would rather have 40,000 rebels quartered on my premises than 1,000 Union troops.
