children, his heart bore the deepest
love to those who were his by adop-
ton. His peculiar 'cuss word'
was F'By the eternal" 1t SO fit his
firm, persistent nature that in the
popular mind it became impersona-
ted as part of him.
Senator Bate said it was no doubt
for the good of the country that
Jackson and Henry Clay were rivals
in politics. The political storms
that they engendered purified the
political atmosphere.
In closing Senator Bate said:
cit was the skill and resistless en-
ergy and dauntless courage of Gen.
jackson and the prowess of those
Tennesseans, who followed his lead
ership, that forced into peaceful ST.
lence the warwhoop of the savage
Indians on our Southern borders,
and brought into civilization that
wilderness as a part of our glorious
Southland, a land that has gone into
history despite its s'lost cause'' as
the land of patriots, and chevaliers;
the land where defeat, under the
surroundings, meant honor and glo-
ry with moral victory; the land
that in its restrictive struggle for
constitutional. rights against over
whelming numbers and untold re-
sources, kept its little stars and bars
and cross of St. Andrew floating
for four long and bloody years over
its citadel, and won honors and glo-
ries that ultimate defeat, resulting
from sheer exhaustion, could not
take away.
cit is to-day, more than thirty
years after the struggle, brighten
ing the pages of history, while it
challenges the admiration of the
world; this land, so blessed by ma
ture that, regardless of the great
burden of national debt, upon us,
by its immense vital force and recu-
! perative power it has risen from its
prostration and come out from it's
desolatiOn into a mighty form of
! strength and vigor, and while this
is so, and all is peace and harmony
under one flag our flag yet it is a
historic fact that the glory and hon.
OF of our Southland is undated.
Her sword, though broken, was
bloody, and her shield, though
bent, was never sullied, and they
now hang as bruised monuments on
the wall of the Temple of Fame.
This is your mOtherland-iti is mine
and to have been born there is a
rich heritage of which all of us may
feel justly proud.
"HoWever, the animosities of
politics, which often live long after
the events which created them have
passed away, may at this day look
on Jackson and his political life,
every man must regard the closing
scenes in his life-drama with respect
and admiration. AN old man bro
ken with the storms of state he
seeks the Hermitage, far from all
pomp and show of the world, to
live in true Republican simplicity.
There he devotes the remaining
years of his life to his country's
good as far as lies in his power, in
advising his fellow citizens on such
subjects as he esteemed of the most
Importance. His letters glow with
the warmest patriotism and happiest
Christian resignation. His repub-
licanism and characteristic SIMPLE
itY are never departed from, and he
who the world admired, whom his
people delighted! to honor, and over
whose grave they would have glad
ly erected a great monument, de-
manded to be buried without parade
in the tomb beside the remains of
his beloved Wife. History has no
grander character in all it's record.
| From age to age glowing page,
! Their names must win in story.
| The men who wrought and dared and fought
To make nations glory.
When Senator Bate concluded
he was literally applauded.
