An EIUuuent Extract.

The following beautiful extract is from
a speech delivered by the Hon. Alexan-
der W bite, in the Alabama Stale Conven-
ton
The Bonnie Blue Flag no
longer reflects the light of the morning
sunbeam. or kisses with lis silken folds
the genial breeze of our Southern cline.
The hands that waved il along the fiery
crest of hundred bsllle fields. and the
hearts that, for the love they bore ii so
often defied danger and death, no longer
rally around it. Another banner waves
10 triumph over lis closed and PROSTATE
folds, but proud memories and glorious
Irecoleclions cluster around il. Sir, ]
will refrain. The South needs no eulo-
gy. The faithful record of her achieve
ments will encircle her brow with glory
bright and enduring as the diadem Thai
crowns the night Of her cloudless skies.
The scenes OF Marathon and Plata have
been re enacted in The New World with
out the beni6cent results which flowed
from those battle fields Of freedom, and
our country lies PROSTATE al the feet Of the
conqueIor.
But dearer TO me is she in this hour OF
her humIIlanon than was she in the day
and hour Of her pride and power. Each
blood stained field, each track Of devasis-
uon. each new made grave Of her sons
fallen in her defence, each mutilaed form
OF her Confederate soldier-her widows
lear, her orphans Crv-1Te but so many
cords that bind me 10 her in The midst Of
her desolation, and draw my affections
closer around nay stricken country. When
raise my voice or llt my hand against
her, may the thunders rive me where
stand. Though | be false in all else. |
will be true TO her. Though all others
may prove failhIess,I will be faithful still.
And, when in obedience TO the gres, com
mand, Dust TO DUST" my heart shah re.
:urn 10 that earth from whence IL sprsug.
il shall sink into her bosom with the
proud consciousness that it never knew
one beat not in unison with the honor The
interests, The glory Of my country.
