SOUTHERN BINNER: MAT 14, 1878. MElIDItl.YL ADDRESS OF W. I>uvl% Ksq. DELIVERED AT COLLEUKCIIAPKI, APRIL 2>>TII, 1878. Ladiesaf the Memorial Association— Ladies and Gentlemen: Tin* SmUt is, today, rcjdoituf in titu coinnfiiiorati jii o> her illus. riotts dead She is smilinj, and at the same time she drops a flower and a tear on the grave* ot a thousand cemeteries. The hones and ashes ot her gallant sons lie scattered thiou<>h out the Stales; and we, the people of this proud city and vicinity •" et again to visit the tomhs of our kindred and friends, lint it is not in tit ir memory only that, we have assembled. \V • honor ‘"their scat tered dust wherever it may rest.’’ We care not whence they came, Dear is ti.e.r lifeless clay, W,Rllier uaUnu.vn, or known to fame Tueir cause a.id country still the s:enc, Taey ,e i ar. t tvuro the grey. Von have entrusted to me a dutv not easily performed. 1 could inn aspire to add to the glory which httvers to-day over a fallen Confed eracy, nor shall I afeinpt to find n • w laurels lor the heroes that sleep beside her in the same grave. Full of hott us, their spirits have ap proached the routines of glory beyond the 'tars. We can only claim the memories of their h-roie deeds. These we arc here to cherish ; these we are here to itel’end. and these we are here to honor; Inti, how can we add new honor to such men ? \Y hat speaker, what living orator, can more than do justice to such men? can more than meet the expectations of such an audience? An atidieftee—your bos om- swelling with patriotic devoticn. I see before mu eloquence flashing' from every countenance. Feelings mingled with grief and joy, in qttiek succession are passing over us and iilling every som with emotions that stifle the utterance. We cannot speak them. We cannot define them. And though Omnipotence has given to nut few the tongue of an orator, yet, thank Heaven, mi such an occa sion we are all endowed with His passion and patriot but. What soul is not elated ; what imagination is not excited when the images of the Con federate <!• ad rise tip ttefore us ?

And we are here t<* honor them not only as the dead— not only as dead heroes, but as dead rebels “ t o the banner round which trey rallied and swore, Forever shonld wave onr Sout'iorn laud o’er. “ We’il furl round their dust, fir they would be proud, Ha guardian folds should make' hem ashroud.

Not only living, but pres ent! Veterans in a “cause thongh fi.s', yet just.’’ Why have you gathered around me here? Brave men! Heaven lias blessed you and prolonged your lives that you may not only partici pate in this memorial, but that von may sit here, and by your eloquent silence transmit to'posterity the true history of those who fought wiili and perished beside yon in thedftritggle for Constitutional liberty: From m\ lips you have heard nothing n^w, and my feeble voice is’tmable to thrill you with emotions other than those which animated your spirits on am* hundred battle tfi-lds. You have fought with the brave, and you *have fought, w hen the brave were falling around you as they raised the last cheering shout in behalt of freedom’s. Faithful wit nesses.
