THE CONFEDERATE CAUSE
NOT a FIGHT FOR SLAVERY

Memorial day has grown into an
institution in our Southland. The old
Confederate naturally becomes remi-
niscent when in the presence of his
comrades he recalls the sacrifices and
conflicts OF forty years ago. The
features and forms of those who stood
/ shoulder to shoulder with him in the
conflict, or fell by his side, come before
his minds eye as distinct as the scenes
of yesterday.
This Is day fsadness to him, not
unmixed, however, with the proud
recollection that he was an humble
factor In one OF the grandest strug-
giles of self-government that has ever
occurred on earth,
The writer's and speakers OF tho
South owe 1t to our dead leaders and
the noble men who followed them to
j vindicate their action in the eyessof
| mankind, and prove to all the world
4 that those who fought for the South
were neither rebels nor traitors
For this reason my comrades and
while I present some views not new
ITO them, but intended for the rising
Eeneration-those perhaps who studied
Barness and Fiske's histories,
We do not meet on memorial oc-
casions to discuss the abstract ques-
[ ton OF the right or wrong OF the
Sconflict that was waged with such
fury forty years ago. The historian OF
the future may probably declare that
upon the strict construction of the
lConstitution one side was right, and
owing to the changed conditions OF
national thought, the other side was
right. The Virginia soldier did not
discuss even the eSpedlency Of the
Question after the old State made Its
choice.
Il Our comrades who sleep beneath the
sod died for the right as they saw 1t.

their memories
The necessity for the war was
written in the history OF the Colonies,
in the climate, soil and productions
of the different States; on the flag OF
the first ship that brough slaves to
North America. The splendid elo-
quence and patriotism of Henry Clay
and others delayed 1.-THE madness OF
a few on both sides FASTENED It, Two
qustiones had to be settled. The
right of secession and chattel slavery.
We will show that the right Of seces-
sion rested with the South, while
slavery was an incident Of the war
and would have ceased In time with
out SO drastic. a measure.
The Southern States exercised a
power that had been claimed from
the adoption OF the Constitution. The
proceedings OF the convention which
framed the Constitution as we'll as
those of the States that ratified, to-
gether with the debates. go to show
that at that time there was little diff
ference Of opinion as to this question.
Had the trainers of the Constitution
declared thir intention to create a
supreme central government, to bind
the States beyond all power Of with-
drawal. It would never have been rats
flied. The States of New York and
virginia, possibly others. inserted in
their resolutions Of ratification a
declaration that the powers vested by
the Constitution in the United States of
America might be resumed by then
when they should deem 1t necessary
to prevent injury or oppression.
Yearly In the nineteenth century the
doctrine of secession. characterized as
treason and rebellion in 1851, was
openly advocated In Massachusetts.
