Chief Jastice Marshall on the Staad. Tu? '?IIUMIII^ oiausaa w*>ro Composed Dy Ionia Randolph, on the statue of Chief Justice Marshall, recently placed on its pedestal in front of tho capital, in Rich? mond: We are glad to seo you, John Marshall, my boy, So frosh from tho chisel of Rogers, So take your stand ou the monument there, Along with tho other old codgers. With Washington, Jefferson, Mason, "and such," Who sinned with a great transgression, In the old-fashioned notious of freedom and right, And their hatred of wrong and oppres? sion. Cut you've como rather late to your pe? destal, John: Things are much changed since you'vo been hore, For thc volume you hold is no.longor Ihe law, And this is no longer Virginia. The old Marshall law you expounded of yore, Ic n? longer at all to the purpose; And the "martial law" of tho new brigadier IB stronger than habeas corpus. So shut np the volume you hold with such caro For the days of tho law aro ovttr; And it noeds all your brass to be holdinr it there, 1 With "Justice" inscribed on tho cover, i Could lifo awaken the limb of bronze, And blazo in the burnished eye, What would yo do with a moment of life, Ye men of "tho days gone by? Would .ye chtdo us or pity UB, blush or weep. Ye men of tho days gone by? Would Jefferson tear up tho scroll bc holds, That time has proven a lie? Would Marshall shut up tho volume of law, And lay it down with ? sigh? Would Mason roll up the Bill of Rights, From a race unworthy to scan it. And Henry dash down tho patriot's sword, And clang it against the granite? And Washington, seated in massy strength, On his charger that paws tho air, Could he see nie sons in their deep dis? grace, Would he rido so proudly there? He would got him down from his big brass horse, And cover his face with shame, For the land of his birth is now "District One" Virginia was once the name. Sergeant Batea and his Flag, Sergeant Bates, carrying the United States flag, arrived in Washington, on the 16th, and, accompanied by alargo crowd with a band of music, pro? ceeded to the Executive Mansion, where ho was reoeived by the Presi? dent on the steps, and then con? ducted by himself to the East room. He extended to Sergeant Bates a cordial welcome, and expressed his gratification at seeing him after his long journey, and also invited him to call upon him again, assuring him that he desired to extend every hos? pitality in his power. At the Presi? dent's request the band played the "Star Spangled Banner." Sergeant Bates then proceeded to the Metropolitan Hotel, and having asoended to the portico, tho Hon. Charles A. Eldridge delivered tho following address: FEiiLOW-CmzENs: It is owing to the fact that I nm a citizen of Wisconsin, that I have been invited to appear here on this occasion, and for a few brief moments to present to you the guest of Washington-tho youthful son of the State of Wisconsin-Ser? geant Bates. (Cheers.) Ho, finding a popular error existing in the Stnto of Wisconsin, like that in every Northern State, to wit: that the people of the Southern States, whom our conquering arms subdued, were hostilo to the ling, undertook to carry it from Vicksburg to Washington, for the purpose of planting it on tho dome of tho capitol. Ho has demon? strated to tho peoplo of the country and to tho world, that no such hos? tility exista; but, on tho contrary, that the peoplo of tho South submit to the flog of tho Union in good faith, and tiT determined tc xaoint&ic theil allegianco to it, and expects us of the North to maintain ours. (Applause.) I understand that Sergeant Bates will now proceed to plant the flag on tho domo of the capitol. But 1 will not longer detain you in this rain storm, further than to say I cannot forget tho day, now just seven yea? ago, whon our flag was lowered in humility and sorrow from the battle? ments of Fort Sumter, and rejoice that now it rises in triumph and glorj on the domo of the capitol; (Repeated cheers.) General Mungon, a representative iron. OL io, having been called upon for a -peech, said be supposed he had thus been honored because he had ? ? ' i i i ' * ' . ' 1 ? '.r' ' ^1 ' ' I served at Vicksburg, until the sur? render. Sergeant Bates, he remark? ed, had journeyed without n single cent of expense, traveling through the South, meeting ^everywhere with hospitality, and receiving pledges of fidelity to the flag, which the people of tho South upheld to-day.' This . treatment of the noble soldier ought, ho continued, to satisfy our radical gentlemen that the people of the South are more loyal than thc man (Wendell Phillips) who boasted iu un address at the Smithsonian Institute, several years ago, that he had labored nineteen years to take thirteen ?States out of the Union. There is a bill pending iu Congress, to remove po? litical disabilities from Gen. Long? street and others; but I am iu favor of including Wendell Phillips, for I think he lins all tho time beeu voting illegally. (Laughter.) I believo him this day a greater traitor than Jeff. Davis, or any other mau, (cries of ! "That's so," "Good,") and if ho is to I vote a ticket, I want him to vote ac? cording to law. Threo cheers were then given for "the old flog," three for Sergeant Batea, and three for the Union. ? The Sergeant thou proceeded to the avenue, and tho procession was i it formed and proceeded to the East front of the capitol, for the purpose of unfurling the flag from the dome. At tho door of the rotunda tho party was halted by the chief of tba capitol police, who stated that he had orders not to allow any demonstration in the building. He further said that the police had orders not to admit Ser? geant Bates with his flag, but he could pass iu without it. One of the committee of citizens produced au order from Geu. Mich 1er, allowing the Sergeant access tc the dome to unfurl his flag. The policemen, however, refused to allow them entrance unless the permit wai endorsed by the Sergeaut-at-arms o: tho SeDate and House of Repr?senta tives. By the personal application ?: Hon. Chas. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, I the endorsement of Mr. Brown, Ser I geant-at-arm8 of the Senate, was ob fained; but as Mr. Ord way, of tin House of Representatives, could no be found, it was decided to escort th? j Sergeant to the Washington Monu i ment, and there unfurl the flag to tin i breeze. Tho crowd, therefore, pro ! ceeded thither, and in a few moment j the door to the unfinished struotur was opened by the patriotic janitor without inquiring whether Sergeants ! at-arms Brown and Ord way had eu ' doraed any official paper or permit t I euter the building, and the flag whic the Sergeant has so successfully cai ried, was displayed at this place. At tho monument Hon. E. O. Pei rin, of New York, was introduced au I addressed the audience: SEBOEANT BATES: AS unexpected! to myself as to you, tho receptio committee have this moment reques ed me to welcome you and your fla( after having been driven from ti 1 portals of tho nation's capitol, j After such a repulso from such source, no place could be more appr priate than here, at the base of tb j unfinished monument, erected I I commemorate the virtues of Georj Washington, the father of his cou: ! try. Could thespirit of that great patri look down upon this melancholy pi ! turo to-day, he might deliver anoth j farewell address to all tho hopea ai '< prospects of a distracted country, Look but a moment on the pictui I That silken banner, wrought by ft j hands upon the banks of the Miss 1 sippi, and placed iu your keeping 1 I the citizens of Vicksburg, on the 28 j of last January, has been borne 1 ? you, mid sunshine and rain, by nig and by day, for nearly three wen months, through the States of M , sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, Sou Carolina, North Carolina and V ginia, aud everywhere throughc these once rebellious States, it I been hailed with joy and gladness evory city, village and town joini iu tho glad shout-old mon a "onnc mon, solclicrc and citi?oi , matrons aud maidons, nil-all w i coming it 08 the fiiarbinger of bet , days. Even at Montgomery a , Richmond, tho boasted capitals I tho late Confederacy, you wore , eorted to tho dome of each capit < and the stripes aud stars kissed agi \ tho balmy breozo of tho once rel [ lions South, amid tho loud pluuc . of a conquered people, j I have it from your own lips, t t everywhere upon your triump I journey you have received the sa warm, joyons, patriotic greeting, f j all without tho expenditure of < , dollar, from Vicksburg to Washi [ j ton. [ I Yet here, in the capital of thc 1 tion, by men full of professions and boasting of loyalty, yon haye met I yrvnr fl?-??- joi:r.CZjj" rcbtik?. Al tue moment you expeoted to crown yorrr triumphal -march by. planting that flag upon the , dome of tho capitol, the mateive doors of that temple of liberty are slammed iii your face, and you are drbreu to Washington's Monument; and there, with bowed head, yon have unfurled your banner. Had tho so-called rebels torn from it twenty-six bright stars, a radical Congress would have welcomed tho dismantled ensign with shouts of joy, as being evidence of an unrepentant people. But it was a standing rebuke to them to find it pass Bnfely and .triumphantly throughout your entire journey without an insult, and re j quiring no reconstruction at thoir hands. Yours is the same bnnner denounc? ed by a radical orgau thus: "Tear down the llaunting lie; Furl up tiie ?tarry Sag; Insult no sunny sky With hate s polluted rag."' Could you expect a better fate foi I the flag of your country from such n j source? Your mistake, Mr. Sergeant, is ar I innocent aud a national one. Yoi: believed in the professions of these men. You thought their loud boost ing of love for the Union was sincere The people once thought Uko you j but like yourself, they have fount' j that they keep the word of promis? to tho ear but break it to the hope 1 Had you taken some dusky son o j Hom, and borne him Atlas-like upoi i your book through the sunny South and lauded him safely here, a radica Oongress would have opened widi those bolted doors, and when yoi thrust your sable brother-tho Ameri I can citizen of African descent-int I the outstretched arms of the Goddes , of Liberty, which crowns tho dom of yonder capitol, one loud, loni I shout of joy woulil have gono u I from those gilded halls below, au I you would have been hailed as a her and crowned with the laurel. Seated iu that same capitol froi which you are driven, they 6trik down thc Supreme Court, trampl upon the Constitution of our father: ride over the sacredness of law, and, i the madness of their wrath, drunke with power, they are this momei ' enacting the solemn fnrco of in peaching a President for the big crime and misdemeanor of refusir to bow down to their party lash, ar daring to stand between them ar future power. This "traitor President" gave ye and the flag a warm welcome to-da and tho loyal Senate, that bara ye out of the capitol, may, for th crime, framo another charge iu the bill of indictment. But we must not despair. The transient voice is not tho voieo the people. No; they but imita the rash youth "who fired the Epli sian tlome. that his name might ot live the memory of the pious fe who reareel it." I woll remember, in the Compi mise days of 1850, Daniel Webst? the great expounder of tho Coustii I tion, after voting for those measm that spread tho bow of promise the political heavens, returned Boston and asked the poor privile of defending his course, and t same radical fanatics that elrovo y and your flag from the capitol to-ei barred the doors of Fanenil Hi that cradle of liberty, ngainst Dar Webster. Like yourself, ho \ driven into the inclement air, n gnvo them that rebuke, which I n well repeat here: "O! ye Bolid men of Boston, j have conquered an inhospitable" mate; you have conquered a ste: and barren soil; you have conque tho very waves that wash your skol but you have yet to conquer ye prejudices." Yon, sir, have faced rebel bul in time of wnr, and you can b nulieal insult in timo of peace. The day will soon como when y bright banner cr.u and uri? float ir yonder domo, every star bavin State, and every State having star. Then will your triumph march live fresh and green in memory of a grateful nation, wi tho very names of tho mon > drove you from tho capitol wit forgotten, or remembered only \ tho scorn and contempt which ever follow the betrayers of a con ing peoplo. At the conclusion of Mr. Pen remarks, the flag was waved from monument arnie! tromentlous planee and ni no rousing cheers. A good deal of fooling was oxh: ed to-day, in the rotunda of the c toi, at tho refusal of tho captoii police to permit Sergeant Batea to wave bis flag from the summit of the capitol uome. Radicals and Demo? crats alike united in denouncing the petty partizan motive whioh refused | a gallant fellow, who had walked 1,500 miles of Southern soil, the simple gratification of carrying the national fing to tho rbof of tho na? tion's capitol.
