I hope that what 1 have said is. and that which I am about to say. sh.v’l be in keeping with the lofty lesson this day teaches, with the IHiriotic principles this monument is intended to perpetuate; with the kub' : me sentiments our women in spire of the laurel wreathed, cy^- press crowned comrades who went |:»-nncily down to death fearlessly fighting for the God given rights of free men. Thpre is a subject which 1 refer with regret. It has given me con siderable concern, and to my mind it ia not by any means creditable to some of the prominent Confeder ate officers I allude-* to their a* several ion that they have no apo! ogies to make for the part they took in the war, and that the services of Southern men in the contest with Spain proved our ioy alty to the United States Govern ment. The word apology* should never be associated with the hal lowed cause you, comrades defend ed to the death and of which we are aa proud today—even it was fa < ed to meet defeat, as we were when that old Confederate cheer rang out at the triumph of Chan- cellorav Hie. Confederate soldiers were not ou the defensive in battle, and Southern men who are privil eged to speak of those dearlv re membered days should not be on the defensive in the forum F.ven our former foes, the determined men whom we encountered in the leaden lines of batHe, do not ex pect us-—to be so abject as to be ashamed of having been Confeder ate soldiers and sailors. God forbid that any Southerner should ever apologize for the cause which Jet ferson Davis, Vancy, Hill, Khett, Hunter. Dickens and other South ern Statesmen so devotedly ,in< l disinterestedly espoused, that Lee, Jackson Johnston, Beauregard, ( le- burne,, Hampton, and other re nowned military* leaders championed with unsurpassed strategy and skill a cause enriched and ’'ennobled by our women; that cause to defend which the rank and file, who car ried rifles in the infantry; sabres in the cavalry; who manned the the cannon of the artillery; who stood and struggled on a hundred battle fields and gained Imperish able renown, were the real heroes «.f the war. Did it require the valor of our knightly Victor Blue; the daring act of Hobson; the death of the intrepid Kagley to establish the* loyalty of the South? Was not the oath of allegiance taken by the. remnant of our once mighty army, by the survivors of our glorious lit tle Navy, invoilably kept? We ac cepted in good faith the result of the issue. In several instances men who held the rank of Brigadier Gener al in the Confederate army, have Mid at public gatherings, of course in the {Jorth, that they rejoiced that the Southern States had- to return to the Union.

My. authority for thb statement is contained in a speech of one of the hes* known co!or*M’ race, Frederick Douglas. In De •er ber 186a when an inmate cf ;■ Federal hospital outside of Washing ton, I read an account ot the cede bration of Forefathers Day by the New Kngland Society of Boston (I tjjinkt It was a brilliant affair One of the speakers at the din ner was Frederick Douglas, who paused after making the astounding -insertion that bi» ancestors also came over In the Mayflower and hen continued, “’yes gentlemen. <fter. the Mayflower landed the Mlgrlms at Plymouth Rock, sh* -et sail pro* .ceded to Africa and irought over s cargo of slaves; among whom were my ancestors.'

Most of these noble women of Colleton beautifully pictured in the mind but to whom my weak words have failed to do even elementary justice, have piss ed from Cross to Crown but thank God some of the number survive . There lived in the South noble Women who had been widowed l>£ war before Carolina raised the standard of 8ere**ion, and wh'en you comrades, first man-bed in the ranks of Southern manhood, along side of you were the sons of those Spartan mothers, whose husbands had heroically fought and fell when we were children, ThfP were called upon to sacrifice husbands and sons who died for cause and country. I often pictured one of those heroin es, as she sat in silence and in solitude; her snowy kair typifying i o ward the grand Women of the War: that you take delighlf in do ing them Niinir. and that ^ou will • - tnie to the tr-st ere long to be i • ;it.. --i.-t« «f *o your keeping; fo«- the-e ilei.r v.i-nwn as well as the .?ter.»ns of the treasured cause they have « a-di* ne! in their breasts, an* approaching the border line which -eperates uni*- f.nm eternity*. That irtist is prethus, priceless one, thia they have mcridly kept; the crown ing and rruv ii-.eiog proof of which we see in this column of granlts gray eoibbitnatic of the uniform os soldiers worthily wore, and as In flexible as they were faithful-and fearless In this memorial, silent, yc* sublime In Ha significance, there is a rolemn lesson to the liv ing a* well as a torching tribute to the laureled and lamented dead Although the dawn of every day re moves still farther the women of the War and the veterans of the CoRfeder.itc forces from the mem orable ana aught-- events encom passed within the brief period ( f four years It draws them constant ly • wr to ihe heroes who faith fully fo lowed the battle flag of th»- Confederacy and doubtlessly fell a* the f.osl ,»f duty. The courage of the men w!r> fought on the coast, in the West ar»d ir Virginia; who were in our gallant little navy has never be*-i c ucs'ioned. The combined forces •; tne Confederate State* did not «-x «*id 700,000 armed tnen »nd they had opposed to them 2.900.0tn> effective, finely equipped sailors and soldiers who were well fed and comfortably clad. T he splendid services of our men;j -ostly sacrifices they* cheerfull> made and the triumphs they gain ed fighting against a foe vastly su perior in numbers, shine with im perishable ustre in the firmament of the Nation’s fame. We do not wish, however, to have the courage of our soldiers commended white the course pursued by our recogniz ed and renowned leaders is lu cer tain quarters condemned. We insist that justice shall be done to Jef ferson Davis, C e President of our choice, who was made a vicarious sacrifice for the South; from whom anv*thing mean or m rcenary was is far removed as the sea is from Hu sky.

In the eter nal Temple of truth principle out shines power; success is not alone the test of greatness .and the vic tor fills not any loftier niche than does the vanquished. It not our desire to revive run- cerous recollections, to try to re kindle the flames of sectional 'feud, that fiercely burned throughout the land; y«t we must insist and ir revocably proclaim that the South had the right to secede from the American Union, gnd that the coercion and conquest of South Car olina and her sister stales, were acts of aggression; gross violat'ons Wes'minister Abbey to British patr.- 23g King Street.
