Secretary of War. to <-erwral Butler in New Orleans: ^Preoideat Lincoln desirra the right to hold slaves to be fully recognis ed. The war is prosecuted for the C.-iion, hence no question concem- i<*g slavery 'will arise.” He said that slavery was but an incident, the question which happened to bring to issdh the fundamental question of the right of a State to wcede from the Union. And as to t ; u« right, he declared that at West Point the officers of the United States Government taught to the c utets Rawles View' of the Con- sf. tution, which stated: "The Union was formed by the voluntary agreement of the States, -and in uniting together they have not forfeited their nationality nor have they been reduced to* one and the same people. If one of the States chooses to withdraw its name from the contract it would be diffi cult to disprove its right of doing so, and the Federal Government would have no means of maintain ing its claim, either by force or right.” This view of the constitution was taught Robert E. Let* at West Point, and Lee told Bishop Wllmer of Louisiana that it had influenced I i* decision as to fiis duty in serv ing his native State. DepUn ng that Henry Cabot Lodge was not a very friendly critic of the South, he quoted from r’s Life feel the hard hand of war as well as their organised armies.” And from Sherman’s Memoirs there is taken this statement: “In my official report of the conflagration of Columbia I dis- stinetly charged it to General Wade Hampton, and now I confess I did It pointedly to shake the faith of his people la him.” Contrasting this manner of war fare with the conduct of the Con federate Army, he quoted the Order of Lae at Cbamhersfcurg, Juno SI.

Nothing should be left in the Shenandoah but eyes to lament the war.” Or the following from Grant to Maj. General Haileck in 1864: “If the enemy has left Maryland a? I suppose he has, he should have upon his heels veterans, miliatamen, men on horseback and everything that can be got to follow to eat out Virginia clear and clean as they go, so that the crows flying over it will have to carry their provender with them.” In December, 1864, Chief of Staff Haileck sent to General Sherman the following: “Should you capture Charleston I hope that by some accident^the place will be destroyed and if a little salt should be sown upon the site, it may prevent the growth of future crops of nullificaticjt and seces sion;^ ' ^ - A wholly, unnecessary suggestion to Sherman "who, replied; “I will bear in mind your hint as to Charleston and I do not think that salt will be necessary.

That we are back in the Union to stay; had proved in 1898 our loyalty to the Union, and in 1917 demonstrated that the real, undiluted Americanism was to be found in the old Confederate States. He extolled the service of the sons and grandsons .|of Confederate Soldiers during the Worid War and in referring to the Navy said it was under the direction of’ a Secre tary from North Carolina,- Josephus Daniels, a Chief of Operations from Georgia, Admiral Benson, a Chief of Navigation from South Carolina, Admiral Victor Blue,, and a Chief of Supplies and Accounts from South' Carolina, Admiral Sam McGowan. He said that when Lee and Davis pledged their loyalty to the United States Government they pledged the loyalty of every ylnan, 'woman and child in the South, and without being disloyal to the soldiers of the Confederacy it was the duty of all to remember that their allegiance was to the United State Govern ment and their duty to study the polities and ^principles of that government so that they could in telligently discharge the duties o* Mr. and Mrs. J.
