U designated as an assin-iation of ajl the bodies of ex-Confederate Veterans and Sailors throughout ijp yion, Te convention adopted a coustitution and did me the great honor to elect me General, whicb psition I accept with peculiar gratification.

SgOCJATION" au(J .oenli.-t in Ihejr accomplishment the active co-operation not only, of ev ery giirv;vor of Southern arniies. but also that large contingent of sons of veteran who, too young to have re ceived the baptism of fire, have never- thejess received with ym the baptism of suffering amXot sacrifice. The firjit article of the constiHition of the assocation declares: lCTbe ol j"ct and purpose of this organization wJH be strictly social, literaryliistori e-i and benevolent It wilUendeavor to unite in a general federation all associations of the Cop federate, veter- ans, soldiers and sailors now.

The last'articli provides that neither j discussion of political or religious sub jects nor any political action shall b permitted in the organization and any association violating that provision shall forfeit its membership. . - ooon OBJECTS. -Comrades, no argument is needed to to .secure for those objects your enthu siastic endorsement. They have bur dened your thoughts for uiai.y year.-, you have eherished them in sorrow, poverty and humiliation' In the face of misconstruction you have held them in your hearts with the strength of religious convictions. No mi.nud"- - r m c ments chii defeat your peaceful purpo ses for the futnre.

To cherish such memories and recall such a past, whether crowned with success or consecrated in defeat, is to idealize principle and strengthen char acter, intensify love of country and couvert defeat and disaster into pillars ot support J or 'future manhood and poble ; womanhood. -Whether : the Southern people, under (heir changed rci uupe . io witness auother civilization which shall equal that which began with their Washing ton and ended with their Lee, it is cer tainly true that devotion to their glori ous past is not only the surest guaran tee of future progress, and the holiest kQmi of .unit3r tutitaWthe strongest claim they can present t the, confi dence and respect of the other sections of the Union.

I renicmber how'exiited my father, ( who was a '-. IVsbyterian f elder), be- Cime, in the spring of X84o, when one -ttoJirers, (a class-leader in the JMetho dist church of Monro-, Ga ;) asserted positively aud united the Presbyterians with it, that Dr. Hoyt, (n proniinerit prtsbyterian djvjne, of ogusta .(?a.,) had said in one of his sermons ftiht there were "infants in hell not a span long" measuring with his !i..nd on the side of the pulpit, is appropriate in gesture, the: exceedingly small dimensions of a Lilliputian inhabitant o f Hades. I remember with what childish awe I beheld my father one niht getting out his hest pen, ink aud letter paper t) write to-I)rr Hoy t. The question to b nut to the Doctor was not.. n- if. i.i i i i i i I uugni. oe io-uay, it aitneu ut siu-n a miuisteVas Dr. Briggs, whethei li hd been unduly loose and hajfhereti al in some of his expressions; but, to the reirere, my lather was wanting to knotv if he, Dr. Hoyt, had not been ux- tremely and severely loy al to the doc trines of the Confession of Faith and to the institutes and traditions of his church, from Calvin and Servetus' bit ter day on dowu to the year of grace, 1843. I remember how eloquent I thought my father was and what a great writer he must be, when he read over the completed letter to my mother, before consigning it to the mail. 1 cannot now recall what -Hoyt 's re ply was, or how the fuss ended be tween my father and Rodgers. On another occasion, I saw him rise f i oni his seat, after -hearing a Metl.o- list ministers sermon, which was a dreadful attack upon the Presbyterian. aud boldly ask the privilege of reply ing to the said attack that evening. When the hour of debate came, I can se him rising from the same smi with his redoubtable confession of Fuith in his hand, and by citations from its pages and arguments deduced t lerefrom, giving the Aiminian a Calvanintic raking and a "ltidai.d f(-r his Oliver." It was Wni. G. Brownlow's day; and Brownlow's P'iper, the Kiioxville "Whig," fairly boiled each week with fryth and foam and hi I Ungate for especial reformation of Fwleric A If oss, a Presbyterian peaciier, whom Brownlow despised, and accused of be ing a descendant fromthe African race. Among the papers snl scribed for by the reading club of Wilkesboro, of which my father was a leading Whig member, was this same warlike and vituperative "Whig." Every issue had a column in it, headed "Ross' Co -uhin," with a kinky-headed picture cf Ross at the top. As a boy 1 pored over that c dumu in a quandary as to what Ross' negro-blood hud to do with his Calvinism; and as to what Brown low meant by taking so much pains to exhibit I he man's lineage; and I want el to know if all Arminious regarded all Calyiuists as niggers; and how it was that my father, who was a gocd Whig, could be a good Calvinist too. My father kept quite a' number of copies of the famous debate between Alexander Campbell and Dr. Rice of Philadelphia, ou sale in his house, and peddled them wherever he went. Rice was the first man u ho was able to crush Campbell, who had been having it all his owu way for years; travelling all over the United States, bringing forward his scholarly arguments, (and he was a great scholar, indeed,) in the Presbyterian's own churches, (where tliey would admit him by courtesv.'i and then, with sovereign impudence,! renouncing them as liars,, and hypo crites if they did not either come over to hia side of the question or bring forward some champion who could prove that his arguments were false Rfce was then a youug . aud -inexperienced minister; and entirely unknown to that wide-spread fame which he sub sequently acquired. After Campbell had as u&nal reared and cavorted and challenged everybody from the rostrum ?fM eaurciv the elders held alre mendous and tearful iodspltation, and begged Rice for mercy's sake to "try him" Rice went hpme and "prayed all night for help.
