A GOOD MOVE.
§
It is with pleasure we note that the
Slate school book commission has in'
aisled that the speech made by Jeffer
son Davis, on his withdrawal from the
senate of the United Slates, be incor
porated in the readers which are to be
used by tlic public school children of
the state. The speech in question is
probably the besL exposition extant of
the views and motives which aclnaled
the people who formed the Confeder
ate stales of Ameiica. r
It is not with any desire that the se
cession idea he perpetuated that we
wifeh for this remarkable address of the
President of the Confederacy to attain
a wider popularity with the young gen
eration. That iden, and the cause for
which Jefferson Davis spoke and gave
the ripest yeats of his manhood have
passed onward from the realm of the
actual into that misty hournc of things
that were, but are not now. Nor is it
with any wish that any old, healed
wounds of sectional prejudice he quick
ened into painful pulsings again. All
that is hnppily past—time blends all
jangled chords as space gray mist with
blue sky blends.
Still it is only just that the children
should know what it was their fathers
and grandfathers gave their brawn and
liruin and blood in the attempt to
bring about. It is only right that they
ahouhl have both sides of this question
pul before them iu the language of the
chiefest actors on that boisterous stage
where osie of the world’s greatest dra
mas was played out.
The civil war marks nn epoch, and
one of which every school child must
lenrn whether ho will or not. It
right that he should have both sides of
the case presented to him hy the pro
per advocates. The motives which in
spired the leaders of the Southern Con
federacy were high and pure, nnd the
speech of Davis is a clear voicing of
them.
To read it with intelligence and with
out prejudice cannot do otherwise
than quicken the appreciation of the
render for tho author ot it; tiro his ad
miration; stimulate his sympathy for a
, disinterested spirit, nnd
make a better citizen of him. For no
matter what a man’s belief’s are lie
to be judged by his devotion and his
unswerving loyalty to them.
The high ideals of Davis and his fol
lowers, as the wiunowiug wings of
time blow all the chaff of discord away,
shlno ever with a clearer luster. Per
haps their judgement vvns foulty; but
their motives were right. It is good
that the youth learn of these motives
at first bund. The hook commission
has done well.—Atlanta Journal.
Wo copy tho above editorial from
the Atlanta Journal of last Friday, and
wo desire to endorse every word that
is contained therein.
This great, speech of tho immortal
Jefferson Davis should be handed
down to posterity iu our beloved
Southland ns tho exponent of our
rights uuder tho constitution of this
great country, nnd a living and unan
swerable declaration that we had a
right to lonvo the union whenever it
became evident that the const'lution
was being violated by pnrtisau poli
ticians—and leave without being bruud
ed as “traitors,” etc.
This speech reveals tho sentiments
of every Southern heart at the thodglit
of leaving tho union, which had beeu
established by Southern patriots and
sealed with the blood of Southern he
roes.
Yes! let this speech bo road
by every child in Georgia every day
from Itabun to Decatur, from the
mighty waters of the Chattahoochee to
the rolling billows of the Atlantic, and
our children ever be taught to keep
sacred the memory of the Confederate
heroes and tho piinciples for winch
they bled nnd died on many hard-
fought battle fields without dampening
their ardor or diminishing their fervor
for a glorious, great and reunited coun.
