It was my fortnne, a few weeks ago, at
Pbiladeiphii, to take part in the celebra
tion of the adoption of tho oonstitntion, and
when Georgia had taken her part I was
proud, as I stood in the streets, to see the
thittcred remnants of tho Union army
bearing the tattered remnants of their old
flogs, and as thiy wtro viewed by that Oo-
L.ber light, amid the shouts of 10,000
throat-, I felt that a imo thrill that I knew
was pulsating in the veins of those Btrong,
grand mon, the remnants of the Grand
Army of the Bepnblio, Why shouldn't I?
They were consecrated to a cause, which, to
those who gathered around them, was
AS BOLT AS BOKOB AND TBUTH.
I would have no faith in honor and lib-
e rty if those men did not love their old flags.
So, too, wo loved ours. Let ns get out of
the universe when hatred of the South is
called loyalty to the North.
“I am going to ehow yon that our chil
dren should love their fligs. A man is the
better man if ba have uerve to do Justice,
whatever it ousts. Wa* there any honor iu
carrying these old fligi? They, too, were
woven by the patriotic hand* of Southern
women; they were delivered to hesband and
brother,
CONSECBAXXn DT TUBS AND PRATERS;
Some were rent with bullets, blackcnsd
with gun-powder and reddened with the
blood of the bravo. Don't we build monn-
meats to tho Confederate dead? Why,
General Grant, the greatest general of the
ITolon army, said ha waa vriUng to share
in the dedtoitlon of a monument to the
Confederate dead.
“The men who tries to stir yonr pardons
over these things does not deserve your
votes. There is not good sense In it
You mo iu some of your pa-

and the homes that drew him were literally
oovend with Union flags. Tho very bouse
that he wa* in was so covered with them aa
to almost blind him. Nome speeches were
made, a leader was oboaen to present a me
mento tf affection to his wife and the gteai
climax of it waa that the Union was rehabil
itated on a Armor basis than ever.”
In It vindication of the loyalty of the
tx-Oonfederatca, he ssid;
“In the great city of Augusta, ou an oc
casion when we hod met to do honor to

PoBTSMouTn, Ootober 20 —A heavy rain
storm broke tpon the city to day. The
Democratic mrangers had made arrange
ments to give Governor Gordon a hearty
reoepdon, and, notwithstanding the in
clement weather, a large audience greeted
him.
The General, npon being introduced, re
ferred to the charge of being a “ko-
klcx,” made by tho Republican press,
and dented it fully, asserting that he
never at any timo following the war be

spoke of the

made by the Oommereial Gazette and ac-
knowedged “tho soft impeachment.” 'He
argued that all men, actuated by a doeire
to promote their country's welfare, were
sentimentalists.
He then lsnccbed out on his main ad
dress by the statement, first, that he wonld
speak of questions affecting the people of
