True Greatness rests upon the
imperishable adamaut, resistin
alike mutation of time, and the
malice of meu. Reputation may
suffer, fade and di.% it is simply
the verdict of to-day, which -'may
be trneor false; but character is of
different texture, and is not effect
ed by the opinion, either favorable
or unfavorable, of meu. Reputa-,
lion is what we think of anyone,
character is what one is.
True greatness need not concern
itself about post humous glory.
History is faithful, and will set it
forth as it is. The chronicler may
be false and misstate facts, but the
’-philosophy of fact, which is the
province of history, will strip off
the veil and set forth the truth
and will not concern herself with
what is pronounced in the heat of
passion and the fog of prejudice,
The rebel of this age may be the
crowned patriot of the next. True
merit can well afford to wait the
verdict of the future, appealing
from a false tribunal to the voice
of the future Isistoriau who will
concern himself only with the truth
and the honest purpose to tell it,
giving each age, event and person
that niche in the Temple of Fame
forced from adverse circumstances
and the unreasonable . opposition
confronting honest endeavor. This
principle for the time is not always
successful is best shown in the
hour of seeming defeat and disas
ter, but Truth will weep that even
for a time it suffered, and her
brighteat banner was furled, retir
ing from the unequal contest hav
ing lost all but that priceless jewel
—her honor—her character.
Worldly wise men may deify the
axiom that “nothiug succeeds like
success,” but history will reverse
the verdict, rendering success fail
ure and failure | success. Success
is more frequently won by the sur
render of manhood and the abou-
donmeiit of principle.
The rebels of this century may
be the heroes of the next. Posi
tions will be reversed and the crown
mourned by the uncrowned of to
day, will in the future adorn the,
brow of time greatness.
-SECESSION constitutional.
An apppal to. the constitution
granting the right of peaceable se
cession, was ohswered hy asserting
that the constilitution was a “cove
nant with death and in league with
hell.” The Slogau "of the North —
The Union! the Union,must bo pre
served, was hypocritical cant, ad
dressed^ to the ignorant rabble,
■succeeding in its purpose in rais
ing an army, keeping up the de
pleted ranks and operated to de
stroy the Union for which • such
concern was expressed.
The leaders of Northern thought
and action for aquarter of a century
preached the gospel of secession,,
and when the crisis came, the South
had no other resource or redress
broke with the ganeral government.
She was accused of a dark conspir
acy, entered into for the purpose
of disrupting the best government
the world ever saw, and must
be whipped back into submission,
preaching the gospel of Union,
branding herself as a willful liar;
declaring that no secession could
be found in the constitution, and
therefore, the South was in a state
of rebellion, and when at last she
yielded to brute force, the North
somersaulted again, declared the
South had seceded; was a conquer
ed province, and as such E5d no
rights but such as the dominant
party should be pleased to grant
her.
The leaders of the South were
incorruptible patriots of ripe wis
dom; acknowledged ability and con
spicuous statesmanship, correctly
apprehended the situation, knew
the meaning of the storm that.was
blowing, divining the future, know
ing that success was exceedingly
problematical, but forced to jour
the issne to protect honor Which
was esteemed most of all.
The South came from the san
guinary field with arecord of un
questioned skill, a conrage never
equaled, having lost all but her
honor.. This preserved;-, she con
sidered the price worth the effort,
and the honor of maintaining it of
more value than the sacrifice made
arid the toils and suffering endured.
The South stands to-day beside
the tomb of her precious dead, re
calling the fearful conflict, her
slain sons, her oppressedorphaued
children, her hushandless women,
saying: “Miue honor was more
than all these, and knowing the
bitterness of the fimdict, the hiss
sustained, listening to the lam ci
tations of broken hearts, the de r ;
feat, the dark days of reconstruc
tion, I wo aid make, the fight- for
the maintenance of mine lnuor of
royal subjects.”
Wise statesmanship and patriot
ism asserts that, no people have a
right tfrentail the heritage of we
apon.future generations, the dif
ferences of which should be s ‘ttled
now.
The conflict was iuevitble—come
it must, and it was courage and
wisdom that forced the cnlrnitiito
tion rather than parry the blow,
and permit it to fall" upon our.
children, who had no voice or act
in bringing it on.
NO APOLOGY.
Southern people "and the_ Lost
Cause need no apologists, no cant
ing time servers, making them
selves the pliant tools of a rapa
cious, intolerant foe for .the pur-
pose.of temporary advantage.
The one who came into this
world ou Southern soil, breathing
Southern air, nurtured and reaped
in a Southern home, understand

witnessing the gallaut conflict,

The Southern army was the flow

and file possessing men who could
with distinction command brigade,
division or corps.
SOUTHEBN CIVILIZATION.
This array was the outgrowth of
Southern civilization, the best, the
purest, the most exulted type the
world ever produced. Out of this
civilization- came this splendid ar
my, whose genius, skill, prowess
and deeds of daring caused the
world to forget Thermopolea,'
Pharsalia, Waterloo and the
charge of the Light Brigade, im
mortalized by the witchery of the
productive imagination of Eng
land’s Poet Laureate.
Poesy has found a grander epic
in the first Manassas, the place and
field where the Southern army re
ceived its first baptism of fire, and
where the first column of its prow
ess was raised with a dash that
dumbfounded the insplent invader
and hurled him ifi disgraceful route
from" the bloody, field to his own
capital, feeling insecure under the
guns oithal city. A few battalions

What mattered the dead level

were as nothing. By his side s'ord
the hoys of Georgia, Alabama, the
Palmetto" State all—the entire
South was represented in this des
perate conflict.
Old Pat Cleburne with the en
thusiasm peculiar to the race of the
Emerald Isle,disdained to dismount
from his fiery charger,‘with sword
aloft he called and led his men to
glory and .death, and upon the last;

side by side the warrior and war
horse were found rigid in death;
companions in life, in death were
not separated. Around him -lay in
sickening, heaps the boys from Al
abama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tex
as, Florida, Louisana, 7 North and
South Carolina, Virginia, Ken
tucky, Maryland and Missouri; but
nearest the hero, and thicker still
were the boys from Tennessee,
saying indeed: “We are all - one,
but this is onr home, and we claim
the right of rendering the most
costly sacrifice.”
, WHERE.IS THE SOUTHERN MAN
who can stand upon the field of
Bull Run, Round Top, the Locust
Giove, upon the banks of the Po
tomac, travel through the Wilder
ness,-look upon Fair Oaks, ascend
the hill of Chaneeliorsville, visit
old Shiloh, and then turn his eye
-toward the last sad act in the fear
ful drams, witness'the unbidden
tear as it falls from the cheeks of
the noble Lee, and become the
apologist of the.South? Can such
a wretch be found? If so, hurry
him from our shores, the Benedict
Arnold of the South, let him no
more have place with us.
NOT ACCIDENTAL.
I repeat, this army Was not acci
dental, not a machine, but was pos
sible ouly to the civilization from
whence it sprang; none like it be
fore, no duplicate possible after.
THE SOUTHERN HOME.
I thank God there-still- remains
to us some of these old Southern
homes, aud a'fragment of the old
civilization. Passing one of these
old palatial homes I feel that I
should stand with uncovered head
The imposing fluted. Corinthian
column, the wealth of piazza, and
veranda, the vaulted ceiling, the
artistic frescoe, profnsi-.m of rugs,
carpets aud curtain's; all from the
looms of Damascus or some other
Oriental loom, the large cabinet of
bric-abrac, tfie costly paintings
representing the masters, the re
production of Athenian sculpture,
the grand piano, the _ spacious
dinning hall, the trained and neatr
ly clad servants; all speak of a re
finement, culture and elegance
which found their home only in
this Southland. From.such homes
came much of the Southern army’.
SOLEMN. OBLIGATION.
To keep green in the memory of
our children, and to preserve in
tact that civilization is the solemn
obligation of the" remnant/of that
glorious array whose blood has en
riched every inch of our soil, ren

old Stonewall! who had the dash of-
Murat, the conrage of Ney and the
execution of Napoleon, will con
tinue to disclose his true greatness
as the centuries come and go: If
his life was brilliant, his death was
sublime. “Tell Hill to prepare for
action, harry forward Stuart-,. let
us pass over the river.and,rest un
der the shade of the trees,” thus
the Christian warrior died.
DAlVIS AND. LINCOLN.
Davis the traitor, Lincoln the
martyr, stand side by side, and
thank God our peerless vicarious
sacrifice does not suffer in the com
parison.
These two men represen tall that
is good in Western and Sonthern
civilization, for the highest virtues
of both were incarnated in them.
I have nothing but" admiration
for Lincoln and affection for his
memory. Not one flower would I
pluck from his brow, but would
unite with rny fellow citizens across
the line in doing him honor. He
was better than his associates,
driven on by the resistless tide of
popular opinion,he became a party
to measures and expedients he did
riot approve. The man of genius,
the man Of nerve, purpose and ac
tion, the man of heart, soul and
honor—one of the few of: his time
and-section, who grows larger as
the years register the departure on
the" dial of-time.
With boldness and withont fear
we place by his side Jefferson Da
vis and challenge investigation,
gladly leaving to posterity the task
of assigning^?ach his proper place.
Davis was great in many direc
tions. His skill, and daring in
handlings the Mississippi Rifles
gained the victory on Mexican soil
state documents, which have never
been equaled by president before
him, or president after him. He
was glorious-in war and in action,
sublime iu his patient endurance
of a persecution and slauder which
followed until his grandund heroic
spirit left its frail tenement.
Koseitth pleading the -cause of
his people, Webster with his mar
velous powers, Jefferson the seer
and sage, Adams and Madison,
brilliant and acknowledged masters
in the world of letters, not one of
these eau snatch the crown of true
greatness frorii the brow of Jeffer
son Davis. He is to-day more ad
mired, more honnred, more loved
than any hero of the Lost Cause,
His place in the temple of fame
will be bard By that of the Father
of his Country,-both the products
of the South.
The hero of the struggle, the
main dramattis persona of the trag
edy is the man who erried the
inuskdt—he was the flower of the
land and the personation of chival
ry and courage.
My comrades, I glory iu the fact
that I carried the gun. Old boys.
I went in with .you while Belshaz

me, my knees smote together and
my cowardly legs came near dis

of buttermilk rangers, who was
surprised iuto a slight - skirmish,
and when the music of the minnie
was heard, rode up and down hi3

THE PHOENIX:
How grandly has the dear old
land sprung up from the ashes of
her desolated homes. She has
written her brightest page of his
tory since the war. It was the
pluck of the old-Veterau that hjas
accomplished '"this uoble work.
Thauk God, he has the grandest
country ou earth,, and no man has
more clearly purchased his right
to this fair clime, the land flowing
with milk aud honey;-her grapes
out rival the bunch of Eschol, and
her.Elberta peach, bringing sub
missive subjects to her feet the au
tocrat of the east, while her mel
ons have conquered the,world,. No
wonder that bird of fable saw that
her occupation was gone, refusing
to give another illustration of
springing into full life from the
ashes of her death.
When the goddess of liberty
shall stand forth for her grand and
final coronation, the brightest gem
that sparkles in her diadem will be
that oi Southern chivalry, genius
and bravery.

Savannah Morning Xeiv3.-
In an interview . in Atlanta the
other day Hon. W. Y. Atkinson,
chairmau of the democratic execu
tive committee of this state, iu an
swer to a question whether he
thought the Democratic party of
Georgia would be embarrassed iri
the presidential campaign next
year by the third party movement,
is reported to have smiled and said:
“This talk abont a third party in
Georgia is all moonshine. Those
who look to the farmers’ alliance
for material to form such a party,
mistake their intelligence, and will
be woefnlly disappointed. There
are no better democrats than Ilia
farmers of Georgia.”
Mr. Atkinson ought to under
stand the political sifuafion-in this
state pretty well. He is in a posi- -
tion certainly to understand it, and
it is to be hoped that his under
standing of it is right. The Morn
ing News has expressed tlie opin
ion frequently that the farmers of
Georgia could not be induced to
abandon the democratic party.
The fact that Mr. Atkinson was
asked whether he -apprehended ■»-
trouble from the third party move
ment shows that there is a belief
that the People’s party will make
make an effort to get a foothold iu
Georgia.
And that there is some founda
tion for the belief-there is no doubt.
Mr. Atkinson remembers probably
that jnst before the coming of Gen.
Weaver and Mr. Simpson the alli
ance paper in this state suggested
that alliancemen might act with
the People’s party in national af
fairs and the Democratic party in
state matters. Did not this look
like an effort to find out how the
alliancemen regarded the People’s
party movement?
And were not the speeches of
Gen. Weaver, Mr. Simpson and
President Polk at the recent alli
ance meetings -rather significant?
Did not President Polk say, in ef
fect, that if alliiinceraen could not
gdt what they wanted inside the
Democratic party they would go
outside of it?
Ad9 how about Congressman
Watson? It is true that he says
that he is just as good a Democrat
as there is in the state, but, at the
same time, he declares he gees but
little difference between^ the plat
forms of the Democratic and Re
publican parties, and considers the
Ocala platform better than either
of them. He stands on the Ocala
platform, and that platform has
been adopted by the People’s par
ty-
Does Mr. Atkinson think the
Ocala platform will be incorpo
rated into the national Democratic
platform? Is it not quite certain
that it will not? But it will be a --
part of the platform of the Peo
ple’s party. - If such should be the
situation, what course would Dem
ocratic alliancemen of Georgia
take? With which party would
Col. Livingston, Congressman
Watson and other alliance leaders
act? Would they, does Mr. At
kinson think, stand by the Demo
cratic party which had refnsed to
indorse the Ocala platform, or
would they be found in the Peo
ple’s party—the party that had ac
cepted that platform?
Mr. Atkinson doesn’t answer
questions like .these in his inter
view, and perhaps he is not pre
pared to do so at present He sim
ply expresses confidence in the fi
delity of alliance Democrats to the
Democratic party. - .
The Morning News does not be
lieve that any considerable num
ber of alliarice Democrats of Geor
gia would support the People’s
party, even if theie leaders should
feel impelled by their convictions
to do so. They have received too
many benefits from the Democrat
ic party, and are too firmly con
vinced that it is the party th^t can
render them the greatest service,
to leave it
But the belief that many in oth
er southern states may be peraua-.
ded to leave it exists. That it does
is shown hy the efforts of Senator
George, iu Mississippi, and Gov.
Tillman, in South Carolina, are
making io convince Democrats,
