H- HILL- Oration or Hon. J. c. C. Black Dellr- ■ered in Atlanta on the 1st of Mny at the Unveiling ortlie Hill Monument. ilr. President, Ladies ami Gen- •cnien: History has furnished but one perfect character, huinaniiy has hut one example in all tilings worthy of imitation. And yet all ages and countries have recognized that those who, devoting them selves to the public service, having le 1 the people through great perils, and by distinguished careers added to the just renown of their country, were entitled to their highest re- «pect, honor and veneration. 'Pile children of Isr • wept for their great leader and deliverer on the plain of Moah. The men ol Athens gatnered at the graves of those who fell at Marathon and pronounced the dead. It human pur- pubiic ser- panegynes upon them. This sentiment is an honor to the living ai w.-li as is.just, for n > 111 -r suit is high :r th.i-i vice wiiich honestly an 1 intelligent ly devotes itself to tlie common wail. T.isri i; no study more •-worthy of the higy'it faculties of •the mind than ti 1 a\ which seeks af- ; ter the nature of civil government •applies it to its legiti :i i r e ns -s and er,ds, and properly limits its powers. No object Is in ire worthy of the noblest philanthropy of the heart than society an I *h s .State, ti is not only honorable and just, hut likoall high sentiment, it is useful —for honors to the dead are incen tives to the living. Monuments to wur great an l good should be multi plied. May I t;ike tlie liberty on Shis oreni 1 -i of suggesting to the ■bar and people ot the State to pro vide a fitting mein >ri il to the dis tinguished Chief Justice who so ilong presided over our Supreme Court, whose decisions are such ^splendid specimens of judicial iresaarch and learning, and whose 'career recalls W.i.-trton’s picture -■of Nottinghan “seated upon his ■throne with a ray of glory about his head, his ermine without spot or blemish, his balance in his right hand, mercy on iiis left, splendor ami brightness t-.t tiis feet, and his tongue dispensing truth, goodness, virtue and justice to mankind.” And by its side, ami worthy of such association, another to commemo rate the sturdy virtue; unswerving fidelity under great trials, and 'Worthy public career of that other ‘Chief Justice who so recently pass ed from among us. The public dis- ■tposilion to honor the dead too oft en, •finds its expression in the resolu tions 01 puouc assemblies, and tlie exhibition in public places of em blems of mourning, soon to be re moved. “And tlie children of Isra el wept for Mosos in the plains of Moab thirty days; so the days of weeping and 111 mruing were end ued.” Too often the great and good lie in unknown sepulchers, or if known, they are unmarked by any lasting monument. When the feel ing does ehrystalize in enduring marble or granite, in most cases it is after painful effort and long delay. Eighteen years elapsed after the laying of the corner stone of Bun ker Hill monument, greeted by the patriotism of New England, before its completion was celebrated. The statue of Chief Justice Marshall, appointed during tlie second ad ministration, was unveiled within a recent period. Immediately af ter his death, in 1799, Congress vot ed a marble monument to Wash ington. Half a century elapsed before the. foundation was laid. After this, for seven and thirty years, it remained unfin ished. Although intended to com- -memorate tiie life and character of him who was “first in the hearts of his countrymen," and had just claims upon the Treasury of the Government, it stood as if insult ing him whom it should have hon ored symbol of nothing but the ingratitude of the country, prophe cy of nothing but a broken consti tution, a divided people, and a dis rupt'd union. Its completion \ias not celebrated until the 21st day of than three resolved itself into an organization j he was unequalled. As an orator at highest respeet amf veneration of that undertook the patriotic duty the forum, before a popular assem- man, for it is the fittest representa- February, 1SS5,—more quarters of a century after the res- olutions of Congress voting it. lhe|j 0 hnson, and Jenkins. 1 history of these similar organiza- has brighter galaxy ev ♦ions marks with peculiar emphasis that of the Association whose com pleted work we come to celebrate with becoming ceremony. Amidst profound and universal expressions of grief at the public calamity to the country inflicted by his death of commemorating his public life by some fit and enduring memorial. The success, brilliant as his own re splendent career, which calls us to gether within less than half a dec ade after its inauguration te the completion of its work, is highly honorable to those who have achieved it, but most honorable to him who inspired it. It has few, if any, parallels. It is in itself a more fitting and eloquent oration than human language can pronounce, for that may speak in exaggerated phrase of the worth of the deed and the sorrow of the living; this is love’s own .tribute, this is grid’s tru.hful expression. As we come to dedicate this stat ue to his name and memory, all the surroundings are most auspicious. Xu place could have preferred a claim above this. It was his own Home; it is the capital of the State, and his fame is a common heritage. Too progressive spirit that lias al ready made this populous and grow ing city tlie pride of every citizen, tlie wonder of every stranger, shall furnish opportunity to speak, as it sh .li speak to tlie largest number of beholders. It is tiie time too, when ail over this Southern land, in the observance of a custom that should be perpetuated, fair women and brave men pay tribute to our 'lead. May we not think of the spirits ot our honored dead who pre- ce !< d him in our history, as well as those of his worthy contemporaries, c lining from the world where no uncharity misjudges, no prejudice blinds, no jealous suspicions to hover over us and rejoice in the tributes of this day. And surely, if the honor this pays the dead could be enhanced, or the joy it imparts to the living could be heightened by human presence, we have that augmented honor, and that elevat ed joy in the presence of one wor thily ranked among iiie nost re nowned of the living,who.-* strength of devotion to our lamented dead has overcome the infirmities of age, and tne weariness of travel, and who comes to mingle his prais es with ours, illustrious eon of the South, thy sileqt presence is loftier tribute than spoken oration or mar ble stalueor assembled thousands. Alas! Alas! we this day mourn tlie silence of the only tongue that could fittingly and adequately voice the honor we would confer upon thee. Beside the grave of him who never swerved in his devotion lo thee and the cause to which thou wert and art the worthy represen tative, we this day acknowledge thy just claim upon the confidence, esteem, love and veneration of our selves and our posterity. May these auspicious surroundings help us to commemorate the life and charac ter of him in whose honor we are assembled, and move us with the higher purposes of devotion to our State and country that life and character inspire. As a son of Georgia he eminently merits this enduring memorial and all the honors conferred by this vast concourse of his grateful and admiring countrymen. Born upon her soil, reared among her people, educated at her schools, permeated by the influences of her society and civilization, he plead i.nli an elo quence unsurpassed by any of her sons for whatever would promote her weal, and warned against every danger his sagacious eye detected threatening her prosperity. Called into public service at an early age, he at once gave assurance of the high distinction lie afterwards at tained. For years his public ca reer was a struggle against prevail ing principles and policies he be lieved to he dangerous, and lie stood conspicuous against as powerful a combination of ability and craft as ever ruled in the politics of any State. Upon every field where her proudest gladiators met, he stood the peerofthe knightliesL He did not always achieve popular success but that has been true of the great est and best. His apparent failures to achieve victory only called for a renewal of the struggle with un broken spirit and purpose. Failure he did not suffer, for his very de feats were victories. To say, as may be justly said, that he was conspic uous among those who have made our history for thirty years is high, encomium. Daring that period the most memorable events of our past have transpired. It recalls besides his own the names and careers of Stephens, Toombs, the Cobbs ‘ ~ In what sky er shone ? The statesmanship, the oratory, the public and private virtue it exhib its should swell every breast with ; patriotie ; pride. In some ol the high est quspfications of leadership, none of his day surpassed him. He did tot seek success by the schemes hlj-or convention, in the House of Representatives or the Senate Chamber, in Congress, he was the acknowledged equal of the greatest men who have illustrated our State and national history for a quarter of a century. He was thoroughly equipped with a masterly logic, a captivating eloquence, a burning invective, a power of denuncia tion—with every weapon in the ar mory ot spoken and written lan guage, and used all with a force and skill that entitled him as a debater to the highest distinction. While the most unfriendly criticism can not deny.him the highest gifts of oratory, some have withheld from him the praise due to that calm judgment that looks at results, that political foresight that belongs to a wise statesmanship. Judged by thisjust standard, who among the distinguished sons of Georgia in that period when her people most needed that judgment and sagacity is entitled to higher honor? Who more cieariy foresaw in the clouds that flecked our political sky the storm that was coming? What watchman stationed to signal ihe iir-t approach of danger had more far-reaching vision? What pilot charged with the guidance of the ship ot state struggled more ear nestly to guide it into clearer skies and calmer seas? With that devo tion to the Union tiiat always char acterized him, and believing that the wrongs of which we justly com plained could be better redressed in than out of the Union, or had better be borne than the greater evils that would follow dissolution, he opposed tlie secession of the State. We may not now undertake to trace the operatiou of the cause th it brought about that event. We can justly appreciate how it could not appear to others as it did to us. As to us, it was not piompted by hatred of the Union resting in the consent of the people, and govern ed by the Constitution of our fath ers. It wus not intended to subvert the vital principles of the govern ment thoy founded, but to perpetu ate them. The government of the new did not differ in its form or any of its essential principles from the old Con federacy. The Constitutions were the same except, such changes as the wisdom of experience sug gested. The Southern Confedera cy contemplated no invasion or con quest. Its chief corner stone was not African slavery. Its founda tions were laid in the doctrines of the Fathers of the Republic, and the chief corner scone was the es sential fundamental principle of free government; that all govern ments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Its purpose was not to perpetuate tiie slavery of the black race, but to preserve the liberty of the white race of the South. It was another declaration of American Independ ence. In the purity of their mo tives, in the loftiness of their pa triotism, in their love of liberty, they who declared and maintained he tirA were not worthier than they who declared, and failed, in the last. Animated by such pur poses, aspiring to such desriny, feeling justified then (and without hame now), we entered upon the movement. It was opposed by war n the South and her people. What was the South and who were her people? There are those who think she nurtured a Upas whose t ,.‘ j^ii dav of August, 1SS2, of hidden caucus or crafty manipu- 0 '• x lal j 0 n. He won his triumphs on the arena of open, fair debate before the people. An earnest student of public questions, he boldly pro- Ms body was buried to await tbe dawn of that resurrection day of which he so beautifully wrot^after A f he , ould ro longer speak a few days after his burial, a public meeting was called to assemble m Stale Capitol on the 29th day of thereafter. That meeUng tive of His awful majesty, and pow er and goodness. Where was there more love of home, of country and of liherty? Deriving their theorie of government from the Constitu tion, her public officers never aban doned those principles upon whicli alone the government could stand; esteeming their public virtue highly as their private honor, they watched and exposed every form of extravagance, and every approach of corruption. Her religious teach ers deriving their theology from the Bible, guarded the Church from be ing spoiled, “through Philosophy and vain deceit after the traditions of men, after the rudiments of the world, aud not after Christ.” Her women adorned the highest social circles of Europe and America with their modesty .beauty and culture. Her men in every society, won a higher title than “the grand old name of ‘gentleman’ ”—that of ‘Soulhern gentleman.” This in her self what contributions did she make to the material growth of the country! Look at tlie map of that country and see the five States formed out of the territory north ol the Ohio and east of the Mississippi generously and patriotically sur rendered by Virginia. Look at that vast extent of country ac quired under the administration of one of her Presidents, which to-day constitutes the States of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota west of the Mississippi, Colorado north of the Arkansas, besides the Indian Ter ritory and the Territories of Dako- tah, Wyoming and Montana. Is it asked what slio had added to the glories ot the Republic? Who wrote the Declaration of Inde pendence? Jefferson. Who led the armies of the Republic in main taining and establishing that inde pendence? “Who gave mankind new ideas of greatness?” Who has furnished the sublimest illustration of self-government? Who has taught us that human virtue can set proper limits to human ambi tion? Who has taught the ruled of the world that nan may be en trusted with power? Who has taught the rulers of the world when and how to surrender power? Of whom did Bancroft write “but for him the country would not have achieved itsrindependence, but for him it could not have formed its Union, and now but for him it could not set the Federal Government in successful motion?” Of whom did Erskinosay “you are the only being for whom I have an awful rever ence ?” Of whom did Charles J allies Fox say in the House of Commons “illustious man, before whom all borrowed greatness sinks into in significance?” Washington. What State first made the call Ibr the Convention that framed the Constitution? Virginia. Who was the father of the Constitution ? Madison. Who made our system of jurisprudence, unsurpassed by the civil law of Rome and the com mon law of England? Marshall. Who was Marshall’s worthy suc cessor? Taney. Washington, Jef ferson, Madison, Marshall, Taney— these were her sons. Their illustri ous examples, their eminent serv ices, the glory they shed upon the American name and character were her contributions to the com mon renown. Is it asked where her histoiy was written ? It was written upon th* brightest of Ameri very shadow blighted wherever it **n annals. It was written upon the records of the convention that made the Constitution. It was written in the debates of Congress- claimed his conclusions. The pow er of opposing majorities did not de- j b^th, terhiui. As a leader of minorities Lwhl fell, and made her civilization infe lior. What was that civilization? Let iis products as seen in the peo ple it produced, and the character and history of that people answer. Where do you look for the civiliza tion of a people? In their history, in their achievements, in their in stitutions, in their character, in their men and women, in their love if liberty and country, in their fear >f God, in their coniributions to the progress of society and the race. Measured by this high standard, where was there a grander and no bler civilization than hers ? Where has there been greater love of learn ing than that which established her colleges and universities? Where better preparatory schools, sustain ed by private patronage and not the exactions of the tax-gatherer—now unhappily dwarfed and well-nigh blighted by our modern system. Whose people had higher sense of personal honor? Whose business and commerce was controlled by higher integrity? Whose public men had cleaner hands and purer records? Whose soldiers were brav er or knightlier? Whose orators more eloquent and persuasive Whose statesmen more wise and conservative? Yy’hose young m.-n more chivalric ? Whose young wo men more chaste? Whose fathers and mothers worthier examples Whose homes more abounded in hospitality as genial and free to ev ery friendly comer as the sun that covered them with its splendor? Where was there more respect for woman, for the church, for the Sab ir God, and for tbe law? est to God identified to the 1, lor # es that met, not to wrangle over questions of mere party supremacy, but, like statesmen and philoso phers, to discuss and solve great problems of human government. It w as written in the decisions of the country’s most illustrious judges, in the treaties of her most skillful diplomats, in the blood of the reve lation, and the battles of every sub sequent war, lea by her generals from Chippewa to the proud halls of the Montezumas. “Breathes there a man with soul dead, Who to himself hath never said, This is my own, my native land?” Forced to defend our homes and liberties after every honorable ef fort for peaceful separation, we went to war. Our leaders were worthy of their high commissions. I say our leaders, for I believe that he who led our armies was not more loyal, and made no better use of the resources at his command than he to Whom was entrusted our civil administration. Our people sealed their sincerity with the rich est treasure ever offered, and the noblest holocaust ever consumed upon the altar of country. To many of you who eDjoy the honor of having participated in it the his toryia known. You ought to prove yourselves worthy of that' honor by teaching that history to those who come after you. Though in no wise responsible for it, though he had warned and struggled to avert it, Georgia’s fortune was his for tune, Georgia’s destiny was his des tiny, though it led to war. Other- who had been influential, in bring ing about dissolution and the first ;o take up arms engendered disaf fection petty cavils, discouraged when they should have cheered weakened when they should hav. strengthened, but the spirit of iii- devotion never faltered and through all the stormy life of U19 young re public what Stonewall Jackson w.i Co Lee, he was to Davis. If tlie sol dier who leads his country through the perils of war is entitled to his country’s praise and honor, no les.- the statesman who furnishes and sustains the resources of war. Our flag went down at Appomattox Weakened by stabs from behind, inflicted by hands that should have upheld; her front covered with tlie wounds of the mightiest war of modern times: dripping with as pure blood as ever hallowed free dom’s eause, our Confederacy fell, and Liberty stood weeping at the grave of her youngest and fairest daughter. Our peerless military chieftain went to the noblepursuitof supervising the education ot the young, proclaiming that human virtue should be equal to human calamity. Our great civil chief tain went to prison and chains, and there as well as afterward in the dignified retirement of his private life' for twenty years has shown how human virtue can be equal to human calamity. The one has gone leaving us the priceless legacy of his most illustrious character; the other still lingers, bearing majes tically the sufferings of his people, and calmly awaiting the summons that shall call him to the rewards and glories of those who have suf fered for the right. Our Southern soldiers returned to their desolated homes like true cavaliers willing to acknowledge their defeat, abide i.i good faith tlie terms of surrender, accept ail tlie legitimate resulte of the issue, res pect the prowess of those who had conquered, and resume their rela tions to the government with all duties those relations imposed. The victorious Generals and leaders of the North awaited the highest hon ors a grateful people could confer. Their armies having operated over an area of 800,000 square miles in extent, bearing on their rolls on the day of disbandment 1,000,010 men, were peacefully dissolved. Then followed the most remarkable period in American history—in any history. After spending billions of treasure and offering thousands of lives to establish that the States could not withlraw from the Un ion, it was not only declared that they were out of the Union, but the door of admission was closed against them. While it cannot be denied that the gravest problems confronted those who were charged with the administration ot the Gov ernment, a just and impartial judg ment must declare that the most ingenious statecraft could not have nspired a spirit, which, if it per manently ruled, would more cer tainly have destroyed all the States, its success would have been worse for the North than the success of the Southern Confederacy, for if fi nal separation had been established each new government would have retained the essentials of the old, while the dominance ol this spirit would have destroyed every vital principle of our institutions. The success of the Confederacy would have divided the old into two Re publics. If this spirit had ruled, it would have left no Republic. It was therefore, a monumental folly, as well as crime. It was not born of the brave men who fought to pre serve the Union; it was the offspring of that fanaticism that had in <>ur early history,while the walls of the Capitol were blackened with the fires kindled by the invading army of England, threatened disunion, and from that day forward turned the ministers of religion into politi cal Jacobins,degraded the church of God into a political junto, in the name of liberty denounced the Con stitution and laws of the country and by ceaseless agitations from press and rostrum and pulpit lash ed the people into the fury of war. In this presence, at the bar of the enlightened public opinion of Am erica aud the world, I arraign that fell spirit of fanaticism, and charge it with all the treasure expended and blood shed on i>oth sides of that war, all the sufferings and sac rifices it co3t, and all the iearfui ruin it wrought. And in the name of the living and the dead I warn yoa, my countrymen, against the admission of that spirit under any guise or pretext into your social or political systems, There are trials severer than war, and calamities worse than the de- •’.ess is unrelieved by a single slai, roll their portentous tbunderiugs. *nd nature,writhing in pain ■ hrnugh .11 her works, gives signs of woe." rhe fruits of years of industry or -wept away in an hour; tiie lane narks of ages are obliterated wili est a vestige; the sturdiest oak th t aas struck deep its roots in the Inv- >m of the earth is the plaything ot ;hc maddened winds; the rocks that mark the formation of whole goo- ogieal periods are rent, and deep gorges in the mountain side bke ugly scars in the face of tlie earth tell of the force and fury of the storm. Such was that period to our social, domestic and political institutions. Law no longer held its benign sway, but gave place to the mandate of petty dictators en forced by the bayonet. What little of property remained was held by no tenure but the capricious will of the plunderer; liberty and life were at the mercy of the conquer or. the sanctity of home was invad ed; vice triumphed over, virtue; ig norance ruled in lordly and haugh ty dominion over intelligence; the weak were oppressed; the unoffend ing insulted; the fallen warred on; truth was silenced; falsehood, un blushing and brazen, stalked abroad unchallenged; anxiety filled every heart; apprehension clouded every prospect; despair shadowed every hearthstone; society was disorgan ized; Legislatures dispersed; Judge torn from their seats by the strong arm of military power; Stat *a sub verted; arrests made, trials had and sentences pronounced without evi dence; madness, lust, hate, and crime of every hue, il riant, wicked and diabolical ruled the hour, until the very air was rent with the cry, anil heaven’s deep concave echoed the wail: “Alas! Our country sinks beneath the yoke: It weaps, it Weeds, and each new day a gash, Is added to her wounds.” All 1 his Georgia and her sister States of the South suffered at tlie hands of her enemies, but more cruel than wrongs done by hostile hands were the wounds inflicted by some of their own children. They basely bartered themselves for the spoils of office. They aligned them selves with the enemies of the peo ple and their liberties until the bat tle was fought, and then, with Sa tanic effrontery, insulted the pres ence of the virtuous and the brave by coming among them, and forev er fixed upon their own ignoble brows the stigma of a double treach ery, by proclaiming that they had joined our enemies to betray them. Theywere e neinies to the mother who had nurtured them. “They bowed the knee and spit on her. They cried ‘Hail!’ and smote her on the cheek; they put a sceptre into her hand, but it was a fragile reed; they crowned her, but it was with tho-ns; they covered with pur ple the wounds which their own hands had inflicted on her, and in scribed magnificent titles over the cross on which they had fixed her to perish in ignominy and pain.” They had quarrelled with and weak ened the Confederacy out of pre tended love for the habeas corpus, and now they sustained a govern ment that trampled upon every form of law, and every principle of liberty. They had been foremost in leading the people into war, and now they turned upon them to pun ish. them ior treason. Even some who were still loyal at heart, appalled by the danger, that sur rounded, overwhelmed by the pow ers that threatened us were timid in spirit, and stood silent witnesses of their country’s ruin. Others there were, many others, as loyal, brave,noble, heroic spirits as ever enlisted in freedom’s cause. They could suffer defeat in honorable war, but would not without resist ance, though fallen, submit to in sult and oppression. Their fortunes were destroyed, their fields desola ted, their homes laid in ashes, their hopes blighted, but they would not degrade their manhood. To their invincible spirit and heroic resist ance we are indebted for the peace, prosperity, and good government we enjoy to-day. Long live their names and deeds. Let our poets sing them in undying song; let our historians register them in imper ishable records; let our teacher- teach them in our schools; let our mothers recount them in uur homes; let the painter transfer their very forms and features to the canvas to adorn our public ha<ls, let the deft hand of the sculptor chis el them out of granite and marble to beautify our thoroughfares; let every true heart and memory, born and to be born,embalm them forever Among all the true sons of Geor- THE TIME HAS COME FOR Medals, Badges AND Summer Goods.
