gen. lee ano the quesuon of
PERJURY.
The Richmond papers are retorting, with
truth and vigor, the base and flippant as
sertions of certain Northern journals that
Gen. Lee was guilty of perjury. It is
shown to be a fact that Gen. Lee swore to
support and defend the Constitution of the
United States, but that the part he took in
1860 subjected him to the charge of per
jury is simply foolish and absurd. The
point is distinctly made that Lee and his
fellow confederates swore to observe the
Federal compact as it existed at the time
of their sacrament; but they did not swear
to maintain and yield allegiance to it
through all the sacrilegious changes in
flicted by corrupt partisans and scheming
robbers. The oath of Lee was, says the
Dispatch, “ to support the Constitution as
It stood in 1860— exactly as it stood—to the
very letter—without adding aught to it, or
subtracting aught from it.” Hence it hap
pens that the prime perjury, if any, sprang
from those who wilfully, wantonly and de
signedly altered that sacred instrument so
that it became a thing of horror to Lee
and his associates instead of a matter of
reverence and respect.
It may be answered that the Constitution
was legally altered; but this is an untruth,
and Thaddeos Stevens admitted that no
such plea could be validly and justly .en
tered. But granting the validity of the
alteration on the part of the North, the
right of secession as a Constitutional reme
dy still remains to justify the acts of the
Confederate leaders. The Dispatch, as a
clincher to this argument, quotes an old
document, the ratifying ordinance of the
Virginia Convention of 1788. to wit, which
seems to have either escaped the memory
of the trooly lail or else never was within
their knowledge, as is the more probable
That ordinance began thus:
“ We, the delegates of the people of Vir
ginia, duly elected,” &c., “ do, in the name
and in behalf of the people of Virginia, de
clare and make known that the powers
granted under the Constitution, being dc
rived from the people of the United States,
may he resumed by them whensoever the same
sfuill be perverted to their injury or oppression .”
It is demonstrable that this doctrine was
considered sound up to 1860, when the
powers delegated to the Federal Govern
ment were perverted to the injury of the
Mother of States and Statesmen and her
Southern sisterhood.
We quote in full the concluding paragraphs
of the Dispatch on this important question :
“ But if Virginia had made no such res
ervation, no one of her sons would have
been guilty of perjury in engaging in re
bellion. Every officer in Illinois swore in
1868 to support the constitution of that
State as it then stood. In 1870, every offi
cer in the same State \« acting under an
other constitution, and has repudiated,
• spit upon,’ as Greeley would say, and ut
terly destroyed that very constitution
which only two years ago they were under
oath to support. Are they guilty of per
jury? No. Why not? Because they and
everybody else understood the oath to
mean that they would support the then
constitution so long as they were living
aad acting under it—no louger. There is
no question of perjury Involved in the case
at all. Every naturalized citizen has sworn
to renounce his allegiance to his former
sovereign ; yet, whatever oaths he may have
previously takeo, we have never heard any
such citizen charged with perjury. ‘Per
jury ’ is the crime of wilfully swearing to a
lie. The man who is guilty of perjury
knows that he is guilty. We have no such
knowledge. On the contrary, we went
into ‘ rebellion,’ as it is unjustly and fool
ishly styled, with clear consciences and
an unshaken faith as well in the rectitude
of our motives as in the justice of our
cause. The Whig truly says that our revo
lutionary fathers were guilty of the kind of
‘perjury’ spoken of by our Northern
‘brethren.’ Washington was the same
kind of‘perjured traitor’ that Lee was;
but can be called so with much greater
plausibility than Lee, because the colonies
had no reserved rights.
“A kindred subject to this is the education
of General Lee *at the public expense.’
Virginia paid ten thousand times over for
all the education that any of her sons ever
■BtaiTrt l» ¥t‘ Point. We disdain to
usy more oh this point.”
What is said in the above extract of Vir
ginia is, to a greater or less extent, true of
and applicable to all the other States of the
South who warred for Constitutional
Liberty. There is no danger that future
history shall brand our cause as unjust or
our leaders as perjured traitors. But
there is good reason to believe that the
North will be remitted to the catalogne of
national vultures and its people to the
shame of delusion, rapacity and ignorance of
statutes of freedom and the muniments
erected by the Fathers to keep what was so
gloriously won. The late Gov. Hammond, of
Bouth Carolina, used frequently to observe
that two things struck him most forcibly
in the Senate of the United States viz: The
petifogging character of the Northern
Senators, as a class, and their discreditable
ignorance of the Constitution and his
tory of their own country. If the Northern
magnates were so deplorably lacking in all
essential elements of true statesmanship
at that time, what can we hope from them
wkvn, now utterly debased must the
masses be who intrust their liberties to
hair-splitting attorneys who prate of a
Constitution they neither understand nor
reverence, and whose chief aim Is to fill their
own greedy pockets and debauch whatever
Is noble and manly in the populace they so
disastrously represent.
Personal.— We had the honor of a call,
last evening, from Hon. Barnes Compton
and Hon. John Merryman, both of the
good old State of Maryland. Mr. Comp
ton is among the best and truest sons of
the South, while Mr. Merryman’s name
will be immortal in connection with the.
blow dealt at liberty through his incarce
ration at Fort McHenry in 1800, by order
of Abraham Lincoln, in defiance of the
sacred writ of habeas corpus. We welcome
these gentlemen to our city, and trust they
may be sufficiently well pleased with Au
gusta to repeat their visit.
Congressional Nominations. —It will
be seen by reference to the proceedings of
the nominating Convention, published else
where, that General Dtjßose, of Wilkes
County, and Stephen A. Corker, of
Burke, are the nominees of the Democratic
party, for the Fifth District of Georgia
Gen. Dcßose cannot take the iron-clad
oath, but is eligible under the XlVth
Amendment. Mr. Corker, we understand,
is “an original 'Union man” and has no
disabilities.
Hold!— We echo the following from the
Richmond Dispatch : “ We beg to be excus
«ed for not even trying to publish all the
“ • poetry,’ the sermons, the speeches, and
“ the essays on the death of General Lee,
“ which have been sent to ns. Every writer
“ or speaker lives in the centre of civlliza
“tion, and considers his production is
“ worthy of a place, however it may be as
“ to the productions of others. We exercise
“ our best judgment. We publish what we
« suppose will benefit or please onr readers.
« Doubtless we often reject the better and
“ publish the worse article. Sometimes it
«is hard to decide whether to publish or to
“ burn.
“ If self the wavering balance touch,
’Tis rarely right adjusted.”
“ Let authors remember this, and remem
“ ber that we have no other interest in such
“decisions than to select those articles
“which will best suit the public, and they
« will be prepared to pity rather than to
“ censure the impartial, even if misjudging,
“ editor.”
