of Germans in the Federal army at 187,858. I don't know certainly,
but I suppose that the Irish soldiers were as numerous as the German
in the Federal army, for the Irish seemed to lead every attack and
cover every retreat--Sumner's Bridge, Marye's Heights, Sharpsburg,
Chickamauga--always fighting with the indomitable pluck of their
race. I once complimented for their gallantry some Irish troops
in our service, and I modestly claimed that I had Irish blood in
my veins. But as I had broken up some barrels of whiskey a short
time before, they would not own me, and I heard that they said:
"Af the owld hapocrit had one dhrop of Irish blood in his veins,
he would never have smashed whasky as he did." Then there were in
the Federal army Russians, Austrians, Hungarians, Slavs, Magyars,
and Teutons alike--Scandinavians, Englishmen, Scotchmen, Frenchmen,
Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians, Canadians, and the inhabitants of
the far off isles of the sea. I think then that it is true that
the seceded States and the border slave-holding States gave more
native-born soldiers to the Union army than did the North give of
her native-born sons to that army! Surely, then, General Sherman was
mistaken in saying that the Civil War was a war of races, the South
against the North. This is hardly fair to Farragut and Thomas and
their gallant associates of the army and navy, and the half million
of brave men who fought with them.
_Disparity of resources._ Oh! my brethren of the loyal North, do not
taunt us with our poverty, when your own writer, Thomas Prentice
Kettell, tells the world that the South gave $2,770,000,000 of her
wealth to swell Northern profits. If that money were given back to
us, we could get up a "big boom" sure enough, and become a veritable
New South. As it was, we were poor in military resources in 1861.
We were without mines, without factories, foundries, machine-shops,
rolling-mills--without mechanical appliances of every kind. We
rushed into war, not only without ships of war and trade, but
without a single mill to make powder in the whole Confederacy, and
without even a single machine to make percussion caps. We had been
dependent upon the North for everything, even for the paper upon
which the Ordinances of Secession were written, and for the ink
and pens used in the writing. There never was a people on earth
so destitute of all means of making war material and of supplying
comforts and conveniences for those in camps and for those at
home. From first to last, we had to depend largely upon the spoils
taken from the enemy with Stonewall Jackson as Quartermaster and
Commissary-General. From first to last, ours was the worst fed,
worst clothed and worst equipped army in the world, deficient in
medical stores, in ordnance stores, in wagons, tents, shoes--even
in artillery and rifles. Theirs was the best organized, the best
equipped and the most pampered army in the world, with abundant
commissariat, medical supplies, transportation, ordnance stores, etc.
A young rebel lieutenant who had been accustomed at home to a dram
before each meal, and at frequent intervals between these three
periods, was asked when the war would be over. "I am no military
man," groaned he. "I know nothing of military affairs; but one thing
I do know, and that is that the Confederacy has started the biggest
temperance movement the world ever saw."
You all know how readily the Irish of the two armies affiliated when
they came together as captors and prisoners. At the second battle
of Manassas I was amused at a conversation between some Federal
Irishmen and their countrymen in my division, who were in charge of
them. One of the Irish prisoners complained to one of my Irishmen
that he had not had anything to eat in twenty-four hours. My man
replied: "And are you after complaining of such a trifle as that?
Why, Pat, me boy, in the Southern Confederacy we have one male
(meal) a week and three fights a day."
_Confederate Navy._ I wished to say a few words in regard to the
Confederate navy, and I regret that I am so ignorant on this
subject. I had the honor to know a few, and a few only, of our naval
heroes, but these were all grand men. Among them were Semmes, the
Chevalier Bayard of the ocean; J. I. Waddell (of an illustrious
North Carolina lineage), almost the peer of Semmes as a successful
cruiser: M. F. Maury, the greatest benefactor to the merchant and
naval marine the world has ever known; the brave W. F. Lynch,
the Christian scholar and explorer; the gallant Pegram, Hunter,
Alexander. I was proud before the Civil War of the fame of Tattnall,
Ingraham, and Hollins, and was glad that they cast in their lot
with their own people. I always regretted that I never saw your own
Franklin Buchanan, the hardest fighter on our side, as Farragut,
of Tennessee, was on their side. These two Southerners rose to the
highest rank in their respective navies. But in that of which I know
so little I do not wish, in my ignorance, to make distinctions. I
have introduced the subject merely to express a long-felt opinion,
viz.: that it required a higher and nobler patriotism for our
sailors to leave the navy than for our soldiers to leave the army,
for very obvious reasons: 1st, the flag to the sailor not only told
him in foreign lands of his country, but it spoke of his far-off
home, with all its endearments. It was hard for him to give up the
old flag with all these sacred associations. 2d. Our army officers
gave up generally subordinate positions to command regiments,
brigades, divisions, and armies. The naval officers gave up fine
positions on great ships of war to serve in little tubs of vessels,
of which they must have been ashamed. 3d. The true sailor is a
sailor and not a land-lubber. He never gets off his sea-legs on
shore. Our patriotic naval officers knew certainly that the failure
of our cause would drive them from the sea and compel them to seek
business on land, in which they would feel as awkward as _Commodore
Trunnion_ on the fox-hunt. All honor to the noble men who put
country above self and self-interest. The Old South had thousands of
unselfish men, but I put these in the foremost of them all.
_Indebtedness of the nation to the Old South._ The statesmen of the
Old South were all broad-gauge men. They had fully the instincts of
the Japhetic race for land-grabbing and they were eager to fulfill
the prophecy in regard to the enlargement of Japhet's borders. We
find, accordingly, that every inch of territory that has been added
to the area belonging to the original thirteen States has been
added under Southern Presidents, and all has been acquired save
Alaska, during the "Era of the domination of the slave-power." When
Jefferson came to the executive chair the whole Union comprised
about 830,789 square miles. By wise policy and diplomacy, he won,
without one drop of blood, for the paltry sum of fifteen million
dollars, that vast territory out of which have been carved nine
great States and six large Territories, embracing in all 1,282,005,
or 415,216 square miles more than the United States possessed before
his administration. That is, he doubled the area of the United
States, and had this respectable slice left over. Mr. Blaine, in
his recent speech at St. Louis, said in reference to this grand
achievement: "In the annals of American greatness, Jefferson
deserves to be ranked as the second Washington."
Monroe found a troublesome neighbor in Florida, and by the payment
of five million dollars, with a few hangings by Andrew Jackson
thrown in, he made loyal citizens of the United States out of the
Spaniards and mongrel breeds in that territory, and enlarged the
area of the Union by 58,680 square miles. Next came the annexation
of Texas, under Tyler, and the Mexican war, under Polk, which added
to the Union two huge States and four huge Territories, and 855,410
square miles.
These were notoriously Southern measures, advocated by Southern
statemen, and carried out by Southern Presidents, in spite of
the opposition of the South-hating philanthropists. This policy
enlarged our territory 2,196,095 square miles, nearly treble its
area, extended the power of the government from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and gained the richest mineral, farming, and grazing
grounds on the globe. With prophetic vision, Southern statesmen had
seen that our country must extend to the Pacific, and from its ports
carry on a trade with the populous nations of the East. Think of it,
but for the Old South, a Spanish province would bound the United
States on the South, and the Mississippi river, under the control
of France, would bound it on the west. Compare, ye English-speaking
Americans, the United States which Jefferson found with the United
States which Polk left, and then you will form some conceptions of
the indebtedness of the nation to the Old South.
Next came the purchase of Alaska, and the gain of 577,000 square
miles of territory. By a singular providence, this acquisition was
advocated by the South-hating philanthropists, and consummated by a
Southern President. Southern men favored it, not that they expected
to gain anything thereby, but the land-grabbing instinct was strong
in them, and they knew that the wives of their neighbors in the
loyal North would need furs and sealskin sacques. Thus we see,
that, under Southern Presidents, the area of the United States has
increased from 830,789 square miles to 3,603,884 square miles; that
is, it is now four times as big as it was. There is not a man of
intelligence in the Union who does not know that this vast increase
has been due to Mr. Jefferson and the Old South.
Oh! men of the loyal North, in view of what the Old South has done
in quadrupling the national domain, with all of the inestimable
advantages, thereof, let us cry quits and stop talking about Jeff
Davis and the sour-apple tree, and talk rather of Jefferson, Monroe,
Tyler, and Johnson. Probably, too, a few words might be whispered in
commendation of the Old South for its Japhetic proclivities, for
its gift of Washington, and a long line of statesmen and warriors,
and for its donation out of its poverty, up to this date, of more
than three billions of dollars to swell the wealth of the North.
_Results of the War._ I would place _first_ of these the general
diffusion of love for the Constitution of the United States.
Time was when the then South-hating philanthropists denounced
it as "a covenant with death and league with hell," gotten up
by the slave-power in the interests of slavery. But in 1861 the
philanthropists experienced a change of heart, and ever since
have talked of the Constitution as that "sacred instrument," that
"bulwark of freedom," that "palladium of liberty!" I am glad of
their conversion, suspiciously sudden though it was, and I hope
that they will never fall from grace. As a stalwart Presbyterian, I
believe in the perseverance of the saints.
_Second._ Change of views in regard to the intellectual, moral, and
social status of the negro. The philanthropists used to tell of the
cruelty and brutality of slave-holders to their slaves, and said
that they had reduced the negroes to the lowest state of ignorance,
barbarism, and bestiality. But in the reconstruction period the
philanthropists underwent a radical change of views and discovered
that these negroes, whom they had described as more savage and
degraded than the barbarians on the Congo, were not merely
enlightened, and civilized enough to be freemen and voters, but also
to be United States Senators and Congressmen, Foreign Ministers,
Consuls and Marshals, Governors of States, Judges, Members of State
Cabinets, etc. I am glad that the philanthropists found out that the
Old South had trained its slaves so carefully for these high and
responsible duties. No other masters in the world's history ever
gave such training to their slaves. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States are
the grandest possible eulogies to the Old South.
But there was one great error in this training. The simple-hearted,
confiding Southern masters, always careless of their own money, did
not teach their slaves to be cautious about their investments, and
tens of thousands of these credulous creatures put their money in a
bank in Washington, established by the philanthropists, and _lost it
all_.
_Third._ The development of great men. I love to hear the praises
of the wonderful deeds of McClellan, Grant, Meade, and Hancock, for
if they were such great warriors for crushing with their massive
columns the thin lines of ragged Rebels, what must be said of Lee,
the two Johnstons, Beauregard, and Jackson, who held millions at bay
for four years with their fragments of shadowy armies?
Pile up huge pedestals and surmount them with bronze horses and
riders in bronze. All the Union monuments are eloquent of the
prowess of the ragged Rebels and their leaders. Suppose the tables
had been turned, and that either of the five Southerners named above
had been superior to his antagonists in all the appliances and
inventions of war, and had been given, moreover, an excess of two
million of men over them, how many statues, think ye, my countrymen,
would there be of bronze warriors and prancing chargers?
The Congressmen from the Old South have voted liberally for all
legitimate pension bills to Union Veterans, for they know what
a tough job it was for the 2,859,132 Union soldiers, with their
magnificent outfit, to overcome the seven hundred thousand Rebels,
poorly fed, poorly clothed and poorly equipped. These pension bills
are splendid tributes to the pluck, patience, perseverance, and
fortitude of the chivalry of the Old South.
I love to hear the philanthropists praise Mr. Lincoln and call him
the second Washington, for I remember that he was born in Kentucky,
and was from first to last, as the _Atlantic Monthly_ truly said, "a
Southern man in all his characteristics." I love to hear them say
that George H. Thomas was the stoutest fighter in the Union army,
for I remember that he was born in Virginia. When the old lady of
the Old South hears the eulogies upon these men she pushes back her
spectacles that she may have a better view of the eulogists, and
says: "These were _my_ children." Then the old lady adds: "I have
another son born in Kentucky, and he is not a stepson, nor did I
raise him to die on a sour-apple tree."
