CONSTITUTIONALIST AXJGKTSTA. GhA. "WEDNESDAY MOBNING, 00T. 26,1870 Nota Bene. Our editorial rooms are open to visitors, and especially to Editorial Brethren, com ing hither during Fair Week. We shall be glad to tender them such hospitality and welcome as may be in our power. 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.” Heigjho !—The Atlanta Intelligencer pub lishes a proclamation from the Governor and signs it thus— Rufus B.
