AT the recent laying of the corner
stone of a Confederate monument at
Macon. Ga a letter was read from
the arcb-conspirator, jeff Davis, show
ing that, although snbdued, he is q
traitor still. OF the monument he
says:
Let it teach that man is born for duty, not
for expediency; that when an attack is made
on the community to which he belongs, by
which he is protected, and to which his allie
glance is due, his first obligation is to defend
that community and that under such eondi-
tions it is better to have "fought and lost, than
never to have fought at all. "Let posterity learn
by this monument that you commemorate men
who died in a defensive war that they did
not, as has been idly stated, submit to arbitra-
ton of arms the question at misconceptions
which involved the inalienable rights inherited
from their ancestors, and held in trust for
their posterity but that they strove to main
tain the State sovereignty which their fathers
left them, and which it was their duty if pos.
sible, to transmit to their children.
The idea that the South, which was
the aggressive and attacking party,
was on the defensive" from the be
ginning to the close of the war, is as
true as is the statement that the South
in trying to disrupt the Union and de
stroy the Government,was engaged in
a righteous cause. Yet such is the
spirit with which the Southern lead
ers are trying to Undue their'posterity.'
