GENERAL CLEMENT A. EVANS
DELIVERS FINE ADDRESS AT
/ UNVEILING OF MONUMENT
General Clement A. Evans opened his
ajdress at Decatur Saturday morning
With allusions to the Confederate sol-
dlers of DeKalb county, with whom
he had fought In the war, and, after re
marking on the monument as a worthy
memorial of the Confederate armies
gnd people who were themselves wor
thy of being commemorated, went on
'one significant event which oc
curred during the patriotic movement
;ln DeKalb county to erect the Confed
erate monument has mode this splen
did memorial structure a conspicuous
symbol. I allude to the breaking of a
cable when the first coldmn Was being
raised, causing the crash which broke
§ i fragments, for a moment the
rous fall was deeply deplored, but
next moment the people reinem*-
that the living truth which their
monument would commemorate was
not lost by the fall. They stoofl rever
ently around the marble ruins and at
ante resolved to place a hew spokes
man on the unmoved foundation to
symbolise the Indestructible truth of
the great Confederate movemertt.
Therefore, we see a new shaft stand
ing erect on the old firm foundation,
while a new special glory robes and
crowps Its form. It speaks today not
only of the times when heroic sacri
fices were made for the truth as It
was, but It proclaims the firm purpose
of all Southern people to Join all other
patriots to perpetuate for posterity the
truth as It Is.
"In every great civic movement by
a noble people there Is always a cen
tral ami an all-pervading truth which
governs their actions. Such svas the
case when Englishmen won their
Magna Charter., So likewise when Tell
fought the tyrant Gesler for Swltxer-
land and established the national mot
to of "Each for all and all for each.'
Bo also when the brave Maccabees re
covered their civil and religious liber
ties from the tyranny of Antlochus.
And more sublime than all the fealty of
our Itevolutlonary forefathers who
1 >ught for the principle that good gov
ernment exists and acts by the consent
of the governed. Every generous mind
ruled by reason .will understand that
the states and the people of the Bouth
Were moved In their effort to establish
’he Confederate government by the
rplrit of a great , truth which survived
[he fall of the Confederacy, and still
lives In the constitution of our coun-
hr That supreme truth Is their great
reverence foir the constitution of their
country.
"The states had Indeed sufficient
Provocations and grounds of despair
"hen the sectional spirit which bad
distressed our country for many years
loomed before them and lowered over
"'em in 1860 with destructive threat-
fnlngs breathing the sectional party
purpose to use the powers of the com
mon government adversely to the priv
ileges. rights and Interests of the
Southern people which were under con
stitutional protection. But secession
"as not undertaken by the people be
cause of dissatisfaction with ths con
stitution. They were Indeed disturbed
by violations of that great charter, and
alarmed by threats of yst greater
breaches of that sacred covenant. They
"ere not moved by a spirit unfriendly
'be union which the constitution
k *pt In force by the Interstate broth
erhood of equal states. They loved the
union ns they love It still, with unselfish
'.evotlon, because they revered the con-
PH'ullon with unfailing faith.
"The unsectlonal South of today rests
'he case of the Confederate movement
pies. Its courage and its patriotism.. The
sun does not shine this year of grace
upon a fairer, more prosperous, more
patriotic land.
"At this memorial season we scatter
our Southern flowers with lavish hand
upon the graves of our Confederate
soldiers and dedicate monuments to
their memory—such an occasion pre
sents an opportunity for us to declare
the truth and strength of our convic
tions and their consistency with the
principles of our government. We
would have the young men of the great
West, the East. North and South to
know the whole history of our Confed
erate movement. We confide In the
Just American spirit of the living heirs
of their rich estate of territory, wealth,
constitutional free government and
priceless llbeily. We ask them now
what will you do for and with our great
country;”
General Evans closed his speech with
words of gratitude felt by the surviving
Confederate soldiers to the people of
DeKalb. and to the ladles of the county
and to all who had aided In this dem
onstration of their affection for the
Confederate aoldlers who had offered
their lives In defense of the rights of
the state. * .

upon the truth which irradiates the su

Confederate struggle. The legal Jus
tification of secession It supported by
the vlgws of the great statesmen who

right of coercion delegated to the gen
eral government. The lack of legal
K wer to pin the stntee together with
yoneta was understood to be a pow
erful restraint upon a possible attempt
of the general government to oppress
some states or people for the benefit of
the others. The Incentive to good gov
ernment as the sura means of making
the union Indissoluble was always made
powerfully effective since partial and
unjust general administration might
provoke some states Into separation.
Secession Is no longer a remedy, but
fair and honest general government Is
still a perpetual obligation In which all
states are alike concerned.
"As to the appalling dangers which
threatened the South and drove It Into
secession, the culmination came In the
use of a great party power In 1866.
which disdained the term national and
assumed the attitude of sectional ag
gression. Four years later these
threatening dangers reached the long
Impending crisis and then fell upon the
South with a force from which there
appeared no way of escape except by
peaceable separation.
"The Southern people, who are as
true to the Union and ths constitution
as ths citizens of any part of our coun
try, still rest their case upon all the
events of the great military struggle
from the first movement to the dissolu
tion of their armlet. Including the man.

prompt resumption of all civil duties In

fort to effect an Immediate restoration
of their states Into ths Union and show
the baffling of that wise effort by the
fearful mode of military reconstruction.
They present the fact of their recovery
of a true statehood by their own poli
cies. and prove their fidelity to every
patriotic obligation. Above all, they
point to the splendid rise of the South
to the present grandeur, which chal
lenges national admiration. It has
risen nut of the gloom of defeat, out of
