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. * .

The legal Jus tification of secession It supported by the vlgws of the great statesmen who guided tho colonial states Into "a more perfect union.” These statesmen ad vised the states to adopt a constitution which did not prohibit secession, but left that privilege to be used as the last resort of sovereign will. The legal right of secession remained in the IN MEMORIAM. To Mr. Charles H. Card, "And ever near us, tho unseen.

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. ner and terms of the surrender and the prompt resumption of all civil duties In peace. They offer the facts of their ef 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 the rulne of the war. and despite spoliations, sectional pollelee. danger ous disturbances of social conditions, exclusion of Southern talent from places and positions of public service, and many discriminating sectional pol- ,C "Glorious. indeed, has been the rise of the South from all repressions to be crowned with the glories of Us prlncl- Wellborn, daughter of Judge Marshall Hampton Wellborn, of Warrenton, Ga nn September >, 1882.
