MEMORIAL A DRESS.
Rev R. W. Rogers; —The Ladies of the
Memorial Association request a copy of your
address for publication. Tlease send it to
us by next Tuesday, it is too late to have it
appear in this week’s Herald.
Resided fully,
Sec, L. M. Association.
April 27th, 1877.
“Past the clash and elanyof battle—
Past the terrors, trials, fears—
Pas the deadly roar and rattle,
Yet We meet In tears,”
“Mot a shout of exultation,
breaks the sobbing sllsnce deep;
Cn the death day of a nation
Is It strange we weep?”
“Put the homage sad we render,
iSofrens with a proud relief,
And a solemn Joy and tender
Mingles with our grief.”
•‘Oh, the heroes wrested from us
Ilave not lived and died In vain;
For their memories’ bow of promise
Spans our years of pain ”
“Countless eyes have crowned their story—
Countless hearts grown brave thereby;
Let us thank the God of Glory
We had such to die!”
“Where had been the church's honor,
When the overwhelming flood
Of her foes rufhed tierce upon her,
But for martyr’s blood ?”
“Where the lofty acclamations,
O’er thejwrench of thraldom’s chain ?
Where the grandeur of the nations,
But for patriots slain ?”
“Shall we
Heads low bowed upon the breast—
Only bring our tears to freshen
Graves where heroes rest ?”
“Rather lay the rose and laurel,
Glad with dew above the sod—
T.earn their lives’ majestic moral,
Walt and trust in God.”
It is sad to stand beside the graves of the
loved and the lost. To behold the little
mouLdsof earth that bide from our view the
loved forms around which the very tendrils
of our lie-arts were entwined, is sad, so sad !
But there is something grand even in our
sorrow, when we stand by the graves ot
those who wore the grey ! As with uncov
ered heads and sad hearts, we stand around
the graves of the hero dead, our liear*s are
filled with thoughts too grand for utterance
Feeling and emotions the sublimest that ever
came to man this side the pearly gates that
ojiefi into the celestial city, swelling within
our bosoms. There is something grand in
the death of a man who dies for principles;
who lays clown his life a sacrifice to duty !
While we lament the sainted Myers, who
does not glory in his heroic self sacrifice,
when in the very lace ofdescase and death,
be went to the relief of his suffering fellow
men, and sacrificed his life upon the altar of
duty. We mourn for our lost soldier hoys;
they who wore the grey. In almost every
household in this nunny land ot our, there
is a vacant place—one is missing—the idol
of the mother’s heart, the prkle of the fath
er’s joy; the darling soldier boy. Yes we
miss them, we mourn for them ! and yet we
glory in them ! We are glad that we had
such to die. “We thank the God of Glory,
we had such to die !” We are proud of the
fact that we had brothers brave enough to
die for their countiy ! Visit some Southern
liame that w as bereaved by the late war, and
liow their checks will glow and their hearts
swell, as they tell you of their noble son,
who when the alarm was sounded; when
our country’s fights were invadeo, and the
despot’s heel was on our shore, buckled on
his armor, and with glad heart and buoy
ant step, went forth to battle for liis coun
try’s honor. And they will tell you ot his
long marches: of the hardships he endured.
They will tell you that amid the fury and
shock of battle; amid the booming of can
non and the rattle of musketry; amid the
gfoans of the wounded and dying; their
brave hoy was true to his colors, and true
to his conntr}’ —and lie died—fell at the
front, with kis face to the foe, and with Ins
armor on. lam glad that I can chum an
fntefest in a soldier’s grave. lam glad that
there is one mound of earth, a sacred spot,
over which we can weep, that contains the
manly form of our soldier boy: who in
in the very morning of his life, with bright
prospects lyiug out before him; ere his brow
had been furrowed by care, or his heart
hardened by contact with the rude world;
offered up his sunny life a sacrifice to duty.
There is nothing so dear, nothing so sacred
to our saddened heatts. as the memory of
the brave defenders of the “Lost Cause.’’
These men are dead. They gave them
selves for their country. But tho principles
tor which they fought, bled and died, are
ar green as they were when Sumpter fell.
They are as true to day as they ever were.
They are not dead—they cannot die —they
are eternal. Truth cannot die. It may be
crashed to the earth—its arms may be groun
ded; its banners may be furled, Aflu tattered
and torn; it may be bidden from the light
t day; clouds may intervene; but it shall
Five on, “when rolling years shall cease to
more/' as lasting as God himself. Though
aIT coming years; in every age, until the
time when the Angle of the Apocalyyse.
with one foot upon the land and the other
n the sea, shall proclaim, ‘ time was, time
is, but time shall be no more;” to the very
dual consumrtion of alb thing; and on and
still on through all eternity as long as God
shall live, these grand principles of truth
and right, shall live forever. There is deep
]y implanted, in every human breast, a lung
ing tor freedom; a desire for self government.
Liborty is the pi iceless heritoge of man be
queathed to him by Heaven. The more
highly cultivated a people, die stronger this
desire. An intelligent people cannot sub
mit to tyranny and oppression without self
degradation—they cannot do it, and be true
to themselves, true to their country and true
to their God.. An intelligent people have
the sovereign, the God* given right to de*>
termine their own form of government.—
God so sanctioned and regarded this right of
]>opular freedom,.that lie admitted the sov
eriguty of the Jewish people, and would not
himself tak the civil rule of that nation, ex
oept by their express consent. Had tae na
tion, refused to accept the offer, it would
lia ve tine sin of ingratitude and contempt lor
such distinguished favor,, but it would not
'jay&beeu the crime.of rebellion against po-
liticnl sovereignty, because God gave them
this choice. Aside from all the free institu
tions of Greece and Home, we have this one
Divine acknowledgement of the soveiign
right of a people to determine their own
form ot government. This right is recog
nized b£ high Heaven—by Jehovah himself.
Nearly lG yestrs ago, these grand principles
bequeathed to us from Ileaven and handed
down to us from our fathers, were assailed;
our rights were invaded. Principles dearer
to us than life itself were attached. All
over these sunny lands, the alarm is sound
ed. A mighty throb of wrath and inuigna
tion moves the great Southern heart. The
excitement grows deeper and more intense.
The news flies faster. The mighty restless
heaving tide of feeling gains strength as it
rolls along. Hearts swelling with love ot
countro buckle on their armor. Mothers
sent forth their sons to die for their country s
fair name. We staked our all. We never
dreamed that that we could be defeated. We
deemed our cause so just, that we could not
think tor a moment that the propitious
smiles of Heaven would not be vouchsafed
to us. Our men were so brave, and our
hearts were so warm and true that we did
not believe that we could he conquered. We
staked our all, and we lost. Our hopes were
blighted; our fondest asperation withered;
our banner furled and “Ichabod” written
upon the threshold of our country’s honor.
We know not why—but God saw fit to
appoint us. Perhapsthat we might remem
her him; lest in our prosperity we might go
astray. Brave as were our men they cmld
not stand before the vast hords of foreign
hirelings that were arrayed against us. We
mourn over a “Lost Cause.” We are a con
quered people, cruhed to the earth. “On
the death day of a nation is it strange we
weep?”
But arc these principles dead ? Do they
no longer live in ‘lie hearts of the people ?
Are they hurried in the grave of the “Lost
Cause?” lias the conquered banner prov
en their winding sheet ? If so why this con
course? Why have these people left their
homes, their business, their interests, to
come oul and deck these mounds with na
ture's offerings ? Why is it that in every
Soul hern villiage, thousands of men and
women and children are gathered, and with
swelling hearts and tear bedewed faces are
strewing these lonly mounds with sweetest
tlowerf? What means tliis strange scene?
Was ever such a thing known in the history
of a conquered people before? That ior 12
years after the funeral ceremony of their
country’s lights, they still meet to pay hom
age to the memory of those who died in vain.
Corrupt as the country is; vile as are its
abominations; when men havo lost confi
dence in each other; ana when distrust and
suspicion are the ruling principles in busi
ness circles; in these days of political cor
ruption, when the wicked rule, and the
land mourneth.” I am glad there is good
enough left in the land to induce the people
to keep up this interesting ceremony There
is hope for a country when there is good
enough in to induce people to honor the
dead, who died lor principle. The princi
ples that these men fought tor, still live in
thearts of the people, and they will live on
—the} F will flourish—we may not live to see
them established. They may not be called
by the same name; bvt still they shall live
on, because they are true. Palsied be the
tongue that would tarnish the fair name of
those who wore the grey 1 Withered be the
arm that would pluckone sweet flower from
the amaranthyne wreath of glory that en
circles t.lieir brow ! Gather the beautiful
flowers, just kissed by by Heaven’s spark
ling dew, angles’ tears, and trew them on
those humble hillocks. Cherish the memo
ry of the Southern soldier dead—emulate
their virtues—follow their examples—be
true to their principles. Let the God-Hke
principles for which they fought still live in
in your hearts. Carry them with you, as
the ruling principles of your lives—live by
them, and with them; and then when life's
last battle has been fought, and the victory
won; then shall “we pass over tfee* river’’
and with Jackson “rest under the shade of
the trees.”

tS A CONVENTION DESIRABLE B\ THE
PEOPLE J
The counting of the votes will settle the
above question. To assume that the people
want a convention betore they speak at the
pobs, is gratuitous and unauthorized. The
people ought not to want a convention, un
less they are determined to see to it that
men of the right kind are sought out and
sent as delegates to it . When a conven
tion is called, or the call for once confirm
ed, by the yote of the people; it is the gov
erning powers resuming their original
rights of laying down new safeguards for
their future security, and indicating the na
ture of the law s by which they are to he
hereafter governed,
The people will he risking too much if
mere “place seekers” are to influence or
direct tlisrir choice of delegates. Men of en
lightened and worthy motives only
should Idive place io- the convention Too
much is at stake to be Mistrusted to the
hands of demagogues-.
Many intelligent men among the people
who see the need of a converrthm to reform
our government; have a attend that such a
representation of intelligence and stateman
ship cannot, or will not be secured as the
importance demands*. They have good
reasons for having fears.
The people iave too long allowed place
seekers to controll them in popular elec
tions hence the people iu view of this truth
are afraid to trust the people. “Brethren
these things ought not to be so.”
Anoter reason why a large number of tbe
people are actually opposed to a convention;
is that men from unworthy motives have
advocated the calling of it, If these men
had desired to defeat a convention, they
could no* have adopted a more effectual way
than by disclosing their reasons for wanting
one.
Extremists are rarely able to carry their
plans into practical effect upon society.
c advocate the calling of a convention,
upon the ground that tbe homestead and
exemption laws ought ter he expunged is
indeed to threw’ a boomerang, as well as to
go back upon the enlightened seiitiiiient of
the age.
There are those who would iiave the last
vestige ot a homestead or any exemption
law expunged, there are some wild even
clamor tor a revival of imprisonment for
debt, and want a eonven'ion for this pur
pose. Poor mistaken souk! their senti
ments are two hundred years behind the
enlightened statesmanship of the age, and
the idea docs not appear to occur to them *
that such a constitution hS tliey want, would
he an abortion, the people ttould not ratify
it
Such advocates for a convention with
causes herein before stated have bred dis
trust in the public mind. The least saga
cious of mice can see the cat in the meal.
The public mind has Certainly been bewr
ayed; there could lie no danger of those ex
tremists carrying their points, and placing;
Georgia so far out of line with* and behind,
the civilization of other states.
But the people may well coflsider the risk
of placing “the title deeds of then liberty”
in the hands of delegates to a convention,
and look at the whole matter without refer
ence to these silly advocates, just mention
ed, but solely to the possibility or probabil
ity of securing much needed reforms, by
the election of the right kind of delegates.
If the people could be convinced that w ise
statemanslike views and men, would he in
the ascendent in such a l>ody; and that re- ,
trenrhment and reform would be the ruling
motives* and then calmly view the necessity
theie is for reorganizing the powers of gov
ernment, to coriect abuses, secure economy,
and make the price they pay for the protec
tion of the state as cheap as possible; then
opposition to a convention would cease and
our best men would be chosen to repre
sent us.
A few more questions are pertinent to this
discussion.
Is there a need for a convention ?
Ought the people to call one?
Of course the answer to the last depends
upon the reply to the first and second.
To the first question the writer lias indi
cated his answer, and now says emphatical
ly yes.
Many restrictions upon the powers of the
different departments are necessary to insure
an honest and economical administration.
Repiesentstion in the legislature should be
reduced. Some offices meresynecures should
be abolished. Salaries in some instances
curtailed. Local legislation vested in courts
or grand juries. The immense patronage
and powers of the governor remalided to
the people or their representatives. Ses
sions of the General Assembly limited still
closer as to time. All drains upon the treas
ury, supplied from the pockets of the peo
ple, stopped, that are not absolutely neces
sary. Mandatory as well as inhibitory
features put in the fundamendal law.—
Schools and education fostered and encour
aged. The powers of corporations circum
scribed in incurring debts. And reasona
ble homestead and exemption laws enacted.
A homestead that should inure to the
wife and children in fee simple, and which
they can sell or exchange for other property,
and convey good title, under order cf court
A Homestead, sufficient only for the sup
port ofan industrious family; either specific
or advolorem and that will cost nothing to
either creditor or debtor, to have set apart
for. and inure to, the family of an unfortu
nate debtor and the product of which may
be exempt likewise.
Then the creditor is protected lor the law
giving the debtor the right to homestead, is
a part ot every contract between parties,
and such homestead is not reckoned in esti
mating solvency or legal responsibility.
Let the law punish the concealment of
property, not included in homestead and
personal exemption, as larceny, and the
making of a false or fraudulent schedule of
property as cheating and swindling.
The limits and purpose of this paper, will
not allow me to stop and fortify these posi
tions with arguments, though abundant and
cogent reasons cou’d be given to sustain
them. lam giving reasons why a couven
tion is necessary to effect reform, and indi
cating some of those reforms.
Can we have these salutary reforms and
desirable laws made fundamental? The
answer is not so easily made to this ques
tion, there is an if in the way*.
If the people, whether in favor or oppos
ed to a convention, vote for their best and
wisest men for delegates, such a constitution
will be made it the convention is called.
Let the people avoid the tricks and traps ot
place seekers, and at the election in June
next vote for, dr against, convention as
each may have his reasons; but let each be
sure that he votes for the right kind of men
to represent him, in the event lie is to be
represented at all, vote for men with the
wisdom to see and the courage to do*
The convention bill was ‘put up’ in such
a wav, as to give its blatant friends tbe ad
vantage in tlie election of delegates. But
the people can, if'they will, defeat them,
whether a man opposes or approves the call
he is eligible if elected to a seat in the con
vention. And though opposed on pruden
tial reasons to the convention being called,
a man may consistently take bis place in it
if elected to it. And the people should not
make it a question whether a suitable per
son is opposed to, or in favor of a cod veil
tion.
His qualifications only should be consider
ed, for some of our best thinking men have
reasons to fear that ‘bad enough’ will uot be
made better.
It again! if the peop’e will give the go by
to the noisy advocates of the call, and dare
to elect proper men as delegates, then we
can have good fundamental laws and it
they determine to do this then they ought
to call a convention.
But it indifference as to who is to repre
sent them, mark the course of voters it were
better that our defective constitution ree
main in force breve r.
r l he constituent elements are of more im
portance than to be’ or not to ‘be.’
