within few yards Of him. He was in com.
mand of the division formerly commanded
by Rem '. increased by several new egiments,
and the men had just d stinguished them
selves in driving the rebels from the summit
of Blue Ridge. These Generals were bosom
friends; had been classmates at West Point,
and graduated together. When Reno fell,
S!urgls ran to his assistance, had him picked
ups and said, Jesse, are you badly wound
cd?" To which he replied, Yes, Sam. l
am dead man. j." Gen. Sturgis had him
placed on litter and carried to the rear,
where he died in an hour. His last words

spect and revere him. This regiment, COM

volt when announcer hepuO1can CandlQaIe,
through their own design and their own in
trigue, was elected tor that high Office
Through all these periods of agitation and
danger, the animating and sole incentive OF
Southern action was the extension and per-
petuation of slavery. Upon this, and for this
alone, the idea and purpose of Southern
Confederacy were announced, not only to the
people of the South, but in the halls of Con-
gress. Hear sone of the utterances Of
Southern aristocrats on this point.
Senator IvERsoN, of Georgia, said in the
Senate:
"There is but one path of safety for the
South but one mode of preserving her in
stitution of domestic slavery and that'Hs q
confederacy of States having no homogeneous
and opposing elements-a confederacy of slave
States alone, with homogeneous language
laws, interests, and institutions. Under such
confederated Republic, with Constitution
which should shut out the approach and en-
trance of all homogeneous and conflicting ele
ments. which should protect the institution
from change, and keep the whole nation ever
bound to its preservation, by an unchange
able fundamental law, the fifteen slave States
with their power of expansion, would pre-
sent to the world the most free, prosperous
and happy nation on the face Of the wild
earth" e-s5
Mr.. BROOKS, Representative in Congress
from South Carolina, said:
"Wc have the issue upon us now; and hov
are we to meet it !? tell you, from the bot
tom of my heart, that the only mode which
can think available for meeting it is just t.
tear the Constitution of the United States
trample it under foot, and form Seuther
Confederacy, every State of which shall be
slavehoIding State"
Mr.. PUGH, of Alabama, in speech in tn
House of Representatives, said:
'If, with the character of the Government
well defined, and the rights and privileges
,, the parties to the compact clearly asserted b
the Democratic party, the Black Republican
p get possession Of the Government, then tn
4 question is fully presented whether the Soutl
f ern States will remain in the Union as su3)e
and degraded colonies, or will they wlthdra
h and establish Southern Confederacy OF G
!. equal homogeneous sovereigns? In my JUDI
!. ment the latter is the only course compatlo
with the honor, equality and safety OF Il
> South; and the sooner it is known and acte
= upon, the better for all parties to the cor
: lpact."

NV friends and countrymen, in this ex-
position, out of Southern mouths, of the resl
spirit, scope, and aim of secession, is the un-
doubted and authentic explanation of that
memorable announcement by Southern lead
ers. in the winter Of ls6O-61, that they would
not remain in the Union, If sheet Of blank
paper were given them, and they were allow.
ed to writeo it their own tcrms Those in
| famous conspirators had ulterior objects of
unhallowed and base ambit' on, which they
knew were unattainable in the Union, and
thew resolved, without hesitation or rennorse,
| to immediate the I'M on, because it held them
back Not, then, for any wrongs received
or feared, but for the sake the grand destiny
thew had marked out for themselves and Sla-
very, all arrangement, all compromise, all con-
citation, all relenting was renowned, thai
they might, over the ruins Of the Constitution n,
carve their way with the sword to their Gag
cling goal. Can any one whose judgment is
not wholly perverted, whose conscicnceis moi
thoroughly petri6ed, look upon such picture
without recoilirg as from an open view o.
the bottomless pit? What principle of hon
or, or morality, or common decency, vindicate'
I such . scheme of willful and measureles!
wrong2 or rather, what principle of honor
morality. decency, religion, or law is no
x trampled under foot by it? 1t smites tn
laws of the country into the dust, it outrage
the Constitution, it degrades the American
: name it affronts the public sentiment of tn
world, it violates all international law, it spit
: upon the bible, it spurns the teachings 9
, Christ, it defies the throne of Eternal Justice
. and all inthe name of Slavery, and for the CON
pulsory spread of Slavery over nations, whic
: had long ago banished it from their borders
