Kentucky, what Jackson was to Tennes-
see.
North Carolina has produced great
and eminent men before Vance, but
none Of them have dominated their al
fections as he has done. Macon IaG the
confidence of the people, and welded
power for a great many years; but it
cannot be said that he possessed their
passionate love. Castor was highly re-
spected for his learning. and great abil
ity as a lawyer and statesman, but he
was never the object of their affections.
Badger was greatly admired for his eX-
traordnary powers, but he was not popu
lar. Mangum, able and eloquent, by the
sententous beauty of his conversational
power was rather fitted to WELD power
in a Senate, than among the people. Muir
ply possessed great talents and learn
ing which he devoted to the elevation
and enlightenment of the people, but he
was never their favorite. John NJ. More
head was highly esteemed for his devo-
ton to the Improvement of the State
and So Mr. Graham, of Orange, and
others. But they were all wanting in
the magnetism, which inspires enthus-
iasm among the people, which Vance
possessed.
without pandering to the passions or
prejudices of the people he commanded
their respect, confidence, and love to an
extraordinary degree, by his sincerity
and directness.
Others are better qualified to speak
of his great services to the State dur
ing the separation of the country than
/ am. But since the war, in the Sen
III, hill tout
career as a debater, drew the attention
of the country. 1t became necessary Tor
him to go back and review the history
of the country during the four years
of separation of the States, in order to
be ON terms of equality with his oppo
nents, in debate. He devoted himself
untiringly to this duty until he became
master of the situation. The debates
which followed were able, interesting and
instructive. They were upon the de-
monetization of silver and upon the
tariff. On these questions he was en-
tirely with the people. He maintained
that gold and silver were the money OF
the Constitution. and that the double
standard should never be departed from;
that the constitutional provision with
reference to commerce was for revenue
and not for protection. Vance held these
principles as essential rights of the peo-
pie, and that departure from them was
usurpation involving moral treason. Cen
uine and lasting popularity is only to be
acquired by honest devotion to the rights
of the people. Demagogues may deluce
them for time, but at last they are
seen through. They sink into obscurity.
No monuments are builded to perpetuate
their names Vance was man Of the
people in the best sense of the Wort. lie
was devoted to their rights, and served
them faithfully to the end.

lost-when down upon his bleeding,
PROSTATE country came the horde of
vampires from the North to suck the
last remaining drops of life blood from
his people, he rose with power almost
divine and drove them back; and then
with gentle hands he caused the wounds
to heal and his loved land to prosper
once again as in the years gone by;and
how at last, when after years of faithful,
honest toll, upon his noble form was laid
the icy hand Of death, he bowed his
head in meek submission to His will and
yielded up to God his manly soul! Who
can be found to sing the praise of such
an one, and who can speak the anguish
of the peoples hearts at his untimey
death?
Zeb Vance is dead He was the friend
and tribune of the people. For though
he rose to place where he held converse
with the great and mighty Of the earth,
his sympathetic heart was open wide to
all mankind, and his strong arm was first
stretched forth to lift the lowliest of the
sons of men that cried TO him for help,
and in the Nations Senate Halls his
voice was ever lifted up to plead the
cause of the down-trodden and oppress-
gu against INC ldNOIeu CldSSGo anu Ihc
money kings.
Zeb Vance is dead! And when he died
a poor man died for though he stood
where oft there was within his grasp
the gains of millions if he would but
swerve from right and reach it, he cast
it all aside with scorn, and dying left I'M
to his sons and all the people of his land
that priceless legacy, an honest and I'M
furnished name.
Zeb Vance is dead! And yet he lives;
the influence of his noble words and hon
est life can never die; and in the years
to come men gathering round their fire
sides at the evening hour shall tell their
sons of him and how he scorned a lie
and scorned dishonest gains.
Zeb Vance is dead! But he shall
live forever more. Oh, blessed
truth, which Marys Son, the Goldman.
taught when standing at the tomb with
His all-conquering foot upon the skull
of DEATH" he called forth Lazarus unto
life, and told a listening world the thrill
ing truth that whatsoever lived and in
His name believed should never die.
Zeb Vance is dead! If it be truth
"That men may rise on stepping stones
OF their dead selves to higher things"
Oh, grander truth, that a nation too
may rise on stepping stones of her dead
hero sons unto a higher life. And God
vouchsafe that our own State, while
weeping DER the grave of him, her best
loved, most honored son, may yet be
thereby lifted unto grander, nobler life.

COLONEL OF THE 26TH.

The Twenty-sixth n. G. regiment had
been organized and reasonably we'll
drilled under the command of LieutenGnt
Colonel Burgwyn and was in camp at
Morehead City when Colonel Vance drst
came to it. / remember we'll the first
time l ever saw him. He had no appear
ance in the world Of a soldier, his hair
was long and flowing over his shoulders
and he was wearing little seal skin
coat, from which l judged him to be our
new chaplain. He had not long been
absent from the hustings of Western
North Carolina, and had had little ex-
pcrience in war as captain in the Four
taenth regiment. When he came to the
camp he soon began to display the same
qualities which made him so popular all
over our State.
In the first place he had the faculty
of keen sympathy with his men. They
soon came to feel that Colonel Vance
loved them. and made their troubles his
own. In the next place Colonel Vance
was able to inspire his men with the be-
lief that he had confidence in them.
These two essentials to a good COM
handing officer were, perhaps, never
possessed by any man to a greater de-
gree than by Colonel Vance.
In drill and discipline Colonel Vance
was at first deficient 1 mention this not
in any way to discredit him, for his life,
as political speaker, had given him
no opportunity to develop these elements
of his character. l mention it to show
the wisdom which he displayed in the
matter when he saw his regiment de-
teriorating in these points, recognized his
deficiency and set about to correct it. He
turned to his lieutenant, COL Harry
King Burgwyn who had been trained at
the Virginia Military Institute, and was
a very master of drill and discipline.
He put himself and his subordinates I'M
der the tutorship of his brilliant young
officer. The result was most satisfac-
tory. Colonel Vance and many of his
officers soon became well schooled in
the methods of drill and discipline, and
his regiment became almost a perfect
instrument of war; devoted to their COM
mander and firm and brave in battle.
Colonel Vance cut his hair and put on
the whole appearance of soldier. In

STOOD FOR HIS STATE.

Vance stood for his State against all
corners. Among his own people, indeed,
he joined and led the faction which he
thought best represented their best in
terests; but he did not allow the inter-
ests of factions similarly named in other
States to make him forget North Caro-
lima. Wise honest and essentially in
sympathy with the people at home, the
mistakes of the leader of his party in
national politics could not deceive him
nor his power over-awe him nor his pat
ronage betray him into misrepresenting
them. He would not pool issues" and
compromise essential principles for the
sake of a sham victory.
1t is difficult to say which was the
greatest service he rendered his State
and the Union; but his last service was
not the least: he set his face like
flint against the use of patronage to in
fluence opinion, the encroachment OF the
the government and the power of any
caucus or majority or controlling infiu-
ence in the party to decree that he
should vote contrary to the sentiments
and best interests of the people he rep
resented. In this fight his influence was
great, salutary and timely, as the evils
he combatted were subtle. insidious and
vital We can measure the extent of this
service as we get away from it and in
the light of history.

'ANCE fl
THE HIGHEST VIRTUE.

think Vance illustrated in his life and
public service the highest virtue of a
statesman and a patriot. He never fail
ed to meet the requirements of any con-
dition that confronted him, always filling
the full measure of public expectancy.
He knew at all times the needs of the
people and met then to the limit of his
power and opportunity. He never misled
or deceived them. He realized the abid-
ing Democratic theory, that government
should exist for the benefit and happi-
ness of the many, not for the few.
Whether in political or literary or legal
paths, he always illumned the way; his
last speech in the Senate showed him to
be a great constitutional lawyer. And
above all he loved North Carolina as a
child loves his mother, putting above
all other duties the duty of rendering to
her his loving and constant allegiance.
His memory remains, a guide and exam
plar to young men who would serve
their State in public or private life.
His most conspicuous service to the
State was to live the life he did among
it's people, always one of them, unchang-
ingly faithful; putting the doing of sim
pie justice to them above all other politi-
cal virtues; standing for them against
all selfish aggressions from whatever
source; bending no knee to any power
or influence not coming from them; a
tribune of the people whose memory it
is we'll to honor and commemorate in
these imperialstic, corrupting days.

brought about the celebrated habeas
corpus decision of Chief Justice Pearson
declaring Governor Vance's order null
and void and releasing the prisoners
who had killed two of the militia in an
attempt to capture them. But Governor
Vance was just as prompt to protect the
citizen from the exercise of unlawful
military power as he was to enforce the
law against assertions, and when some
forty persons arrested by or
der of General French in the Eastern
part of the State, in November, 1862,
on suspicion of disloyalty and sent to
Salisbury prison, Governor Vance pro-
tests in letter to President DAVIS IN
which he says: CAS- Governor of the
State of which they are citizens it be-
comes my duty to see that they are
protected in whatever rights pertain to
them. First among them is undeniably
the right of q trial upon their alleged
offenses.''
Governor Vance was alert to notice
any failure properly to appreciate the
gallant conduct of North Carolina Of
ficers and soldiers and his correspondence
with President Davis as this subject be-
came at length so caustic that President
Davis requested that in the future "his
communications be restricted to such
matters as require official action" This
was in reply to a letter from Governor
Vance to President Davis dated March
g. 1864, complaining that Coils. Duncan
MacRae, Garrett and McElroy had been
passed over and others less deserving
had been promoted.
But Governor Vance was always
prompt and decisive in protecting the
rights of the citizen, and when certain
soldiers passing through Raleigh de-
stroyed the offices of the Sentinel and
State Journal, in a letter to President
Davis, dated September II. 1853, he ut
tiers this remarkably bold and defiant
threat, "If these outrages are not stop
ped, exciting terror in the city, by SOL
diers passing through, / shall feel 1t
duty which / owe to the dignity and
self-respect of the first State in the
Confederacy in point of numbers and
good conduct of her soldiers and all
the natural resources of war to issue my
proclamation recalling her troops
from the field to the defense of their
own homes"
Space does not permit further refer
ences to these, the most conspicuous
services, rendered by Governor Vance
to North Carolina.

zEBULON BAIRD VANCE.

Great Vance, through these few years
thy corpse has lain
On Buncombe's lovely hill, yet ever we,
Still feel our loss and yearn anew for
thee,
Our State and thine is now in evil train,
Her name and sons have suffered sore;
in vain
She tries to still the tongues of calumny,
For those she trusts have no sincerity;
She needs a friend as once she had,
again.
For thou didst love and serve with all
thy heart
For us in battle thou didst WELD thy
lance,
Didst find our heroes clothes and daily
bread;
In highest Senate noble was thy part,
Till Deaths voice called thee from thy
post and led
Thee from us sorrowing, stout-hearted
Vance.
