STATUE OF LEE
To Be Placed Among the Inn
ages In the Capitol at
Washington.
Kansas KCkerS and Other Union
Men VIII Enter a Lively
Protest.

During the closing hours of the |
last Congress, there was considerable |
of a breeze kicked up. By PROPOSE
tion to put a statue of the rebel Gen.
Lee in the rotunda of the capitol,
Washington, Lincoln, Alex. Hamilton,
Webster. Grant and other distin-
guished men of the nation being thus
honored. Virginia has appropriated
the statue and asked that it be placed
there, according to the invitation of
Congress to the States, to SO honor
their distinguished sons.
The Kansas Congressman say that
if statue of Lee is put there, they
will have a statue of John Brown
placed there; and a Michigan man
says he will introduce a bill to place
a statue of John Brown in the custom
house or postofflce at Richmond, Va.
These men are not impelled by any
hatred of Lee, but are actuated by
the principle that the Nation ought
never to do any act that will honor
any soldier who turns against his
Government to serve its enemies.
This is correct, but it is little late
to assert it. A statue or bust of
Alex. HI. Stevens, the Vice President
of the Confederacy already has a
place of honor in the capitol. And
scores of men who fought in the Con-
federate service were admitted to
seats in the Senate and House, after
they had bathed their swords in the
blood of the Nation; and scores of
others who served in civil position.
in the Confederacy have been thus
ling, why deny the dead a stony glare
at the thousands vino pass in and out
of the capitol, honoring the Nation
the Confederacy sought to destory?
Lee was a Christian gentleman. a
soldier of fine abilities and character,
a great man, one whom the South
loved. If Virginia wishes to honor
him for his services against his coun-
try, theirs be the choice, not ours
But we would not turn away the
great soldier, when we have honored
so many others who wore the gray
There can no good come of that; it
can only engender hate. We never
while in the army, had any thing but
respect for the Confederate soldier
who offered his life for what he be
lieved was right: and we have moth
ing but respect for the character OF
Lee, who was their leader. The Kan
sas boys should count ten before they
strike. 1t is time for knitting to
gether all men who want to keep the
the Government free, and not time
to engender passion
AS to statue of John Brown, i
Kansas or New York wishes to place
a statue of Old Ossawattamie in the
lcapitol, at Washington, it would bt
a worthy thing to do. No man evel
sacrifced his life for his fellow mel
more bravely, more heroically, thar
. John Brown-none with less malic,
| towards those who took his life
Poor. humble, honest, sincere, brave
he gave his life willingly to free th'
oppressed, to whom he was attached
by no ties but those of a common hu
manity; and he will ever stand out a
. one of the heroic characters Of his
= tory-judged from his purposes
factions, and life, not from the wisdom
of his plans.
