After congratulating the ladies of the association in eloquent terms upon the completion of the monu ment, Colonel Waddcll said: 'Ithaa eeemed to me that I could not better employ a brief part of the hour a! hit ted to me to-day than by speaking in kindness and char ity, but with candor and frankness the plain, unvarnished truth con cerning the canj and the responsi bility for the war in which tho mcu to whoo memory this monument is erected, were sacriliced. If ttnaf is not an occasion lor vain regrets or bitter reviling (and it is not) neither is it a time for false fenti tnent or a suppression of the truth, and it is cither became the truth is, unknown cr is a matter of indider ence to many of this generation that 1 fee! it to be a duty to them to speak as I shall." The speaker disclaimed any in tention of digging up sectionalism, referred to the fact that the day was tlie anniversary of the Meck lenburg Declaration, summarized biieily but comprehensively eer tain salient facts connected with the history of the article's of confedera tion and the Constitution, and con tinued as lollows: AN AKTr.Krnolt.llT. 'The idea that tho Constitution was ordained by the whole' jKople ot all the States acting asone aggre- irate nation wa ncver suggested until nearly ti ft v years alter its adoption, and tno pretence that there was any right to interfere with the separate sovereignty of, much les to coerce a State in any way, if it had been made would have been instantly repudiated, and, if insist ed upon, would have dis-solvcd the convention then and there. The Constitution of the United States was to be the supreme law of the laud, by mutual agreement of the States, but no such grant of power oa that of coercing a Stite was con tained in the Constitution, and all powers not granted were reserved to the States or to the people. The States created a government ot limited powers, and the limits were delincd in the instrument cicitimr it, and vet, notwithstanding this un questionable truth, there has been from the bcgintunga persistent, and finally a violent and successful, etlort to ttansform it intoa ennsoli dated nation." rKti.TINK.NT V.I -KaTIoNS, Colonel Waddell ran rapidly over some of the condition!, antagonism?, and itiilucnccs which led to the civil war, and then said : lhu the 'irrepressible contact was precipitated, ami the Southern States were lelt no choice but to submissively accept tho change which destroyed ull hope of pre serving tho equality and rights of the States under the Cotistitulion, or to seek peace ami safety by with drawing from the Union. "They chose the latter alterna tive. In doing so wero they eniltv of treason or rebellion t If so, against whom i Their allegiance was not given to any government, but to the Constitution ot the Unit ed States, and they never violated it, but, on the contrary, only seced ed because others violated it to their injury and threatened ruin. Did Virginia and New York and Rhode Island, when they expressly reserv ed tho right to withdraw from the Union, mean to say that they reserv ed tho right to rebel and commit treason t What did Ma.sachusetts mean when, in 1U3, her Legisla ture 'Resolved, that the annexation of Louisiana to the Union trans cends the constitutional power of the Government of the United State, and that 'it formed a new confederacy to which the States uuite-d by the former compact are not bound to adhere"? Could there be a plainer declaration of tho right of a State to secede i ejriTIoN OF SLAVKHY. The orator next took up the ques tion of the slave trade, showing how Marvland, Virginia, North Caro Una," South Carolina and Georgia hid legislated against it, ami h?w slavery in its most cruel lot in had existed, in Massachusetts, and in concluding hi oration said: "As a domestic institution, sla very existed in every State except i .i ....,3 one wuen me wiiiJiiiiuwii was adopted, and it was expressly pro- .1 4. 'fi videu lor in max instrument, me Supreme Court of the United Sta tes, in many caecs, solemnly declar ing that the protection of the riirht of property in slavis 'was a funda mental article, without the adoption of which the Union would not have been formed. When the Northern States, in 1$3I. were openly and Jetiantly nullifying the Constitu tion and the laws on thi subject, Daniel Webster said: "I do not he-itate to say and re-. jcat that if the Northern States re fuse wdl'ully and deliUrately to carry into clTcet that part of the Constitution which respects the restorative and fngaive staves?, and Congress provide r.o remedy, the South would no longer be bound to observe tlie compact. A bargain broken on one tide is broken on all sides. "Indeed, no sane person ever raised any .p-ic-tion as to the pro vision of'the Constitution. It was admitted, but was contemptuously repudiated by tho Northern State, and especially the New England States, whiie to shift responsibility and excite the sympathy of foreign nations, they filled the air with false cries as to the Aggressions of the slave power, although the South had "been in the minority ever since the government was formed. The true feelins was expressed by Wil liaai Cullen Bryant in tho follow ing sentence, contained in his 'His tory of the United States, published 6ince tho war: " 'Webster would not, or could not, see that tho question was not simply for tho ownership of the black men, but for the supremacy of an ill-born, ill-bred, uneducated, and brutal handfull of slaveholders over a people of a higher strain of blood, with centuries of gentle breeding, and a high degree oi mor al and intellectual training behind them. "And when the South finally sought a separation from such inso lent and treacherous associates, they 'cried havoc and let slip the dogs of war' uion hcr,denouncing her with drawal as treason and a slavchold ers rebellion, and finally converting it from a war for tho preservation of the Union into a fanatical cru sado for the abolition of slavery, and the advancement ot the negro to the fullest privileges of American citij zenship. "So much f ir this topic, which, like that of secession, I have met ely touched upon, and which would re quire for its just and full treatment a hundred speeches. TI e South did not go to war. As has been said a thousand times it wa3 the oc casion, not the cause, of war. It was an institution, guaranteed and pro tected by tho Constitution, as exclu sively within tho control of the States, and when the equality and reserved richts ot tho States were attacked by interference with it, there was just ground to believe that other reserved and guaranteed lights would be assailed." THEY SOUGHT I'KACE. "They (the Southern people) sought peace, and not a quarrel they asked that there might be no violence cr bloodshed, but a separa tion and an equitable and honorable adjustment ot all interests. Rut it was not to bo. I hey wero forced to defend their liberties and their homes, and the Confederate soldier appeared to attract tho admiring q i.c of tho world and win an ini- mortality ot lame, but alas: only to sufier and be strong in an hopeless struggle. "Ho needs no vindication from mortal lips. Taught from his childhood, as all American youth had been, that in any event and un der all circumstances his first al legiance and whole duty was to his State, her call for his service was his all-sullicient justification, as it was his proudest badge of citizen ship. He did not hate, but had al ways loved the Union, and would havo been ready, as his fathers al ways were, to give his fortune and his life in its defenco against a for eign foe, but ho loved his state more, and to her appeal his heart leaped responsive and his .hand gri Sjed the sword. THE MOKAI. CONTEST. "Who shall frame in fitting words the story of his career! Courage on the battle-field is the common attribute of good soldiers everywhere, and if that constituted his only claim to admiration he would be but an ordinary figure on the page of history. Rut it is the moral aspect ot his career that is sublime. , It was his magnificent struggle against overwhelming odds tor the pieservation of constitution al liberty, for tho right of self-government, for a'l, indeed, that was sacred in his horitagc that made him a hero and a martyr for all time. And this magnificent strug gle was made, not only against over whelming forces and resources and equipments, but in a country block aded at every port, gradually strip ped of the common means of sub sistence, unable to pay hirn for his services, and finally reduced to rags and starvation. Still, through it all, even to the last moment, ho stood inflexible, patient, cheerful, self sacrificing, brave, aud true. Who can withhold from such virtues the tribute of praise and honor and re spect, and who that hath the sem blance of a man dare call their pos sessor a traitor i "Just ai at tho formation of the Union North Carolina held back and refused accession to it, so at the formation of the Confederacy, with characteristic conservatism, 6he withheld her assent, in the hone of an amicable adjustment, until the proclamation of the newly-elected sectional President, calling on her for troops to war on her southern sisters fell upon her ears and tired her soul. On this same historic day, 34 yc.irs ago, she again declared her independence and eirded her- se'.f for blttle. Tho war-cloud" burst, and for fjnr years its pitiless pelting fell upon her people. How did they acquit themselves in the conflict; Did they prove themsel ves worthy of their Revolutionary sires? for answer I turn Lot to the testimony if any commanding of ficer living or dead, Federal or Con. federate not even to that utter- encc of the stainless Lee, in the last a rni.iiij cf AiinnmattnY?

"I point to tho fact that she con tributed nearly one-fifth of the sol diers of the Confederate army that the lost more than, one-fourth of those who died of wounds that she lost one-third of those who died of disease. "I cite the appjillinsr and unpre cedented fact that at Gettysburg: her ever-memorable Twenty-sixth Regiment lost 00 per cent, of the men carried into action. "I put in evidence tha fact that on several battlefields of Virginia she left more dead and wonnded than all tho Southern States com bined. "I remember that her Twenty- second Regiment floated the. stan dard of the Confederate States at tho farthest point North ever reached. "1 proudly 61iotv that one of her sons, commanding a Confederate ship, was the only man who carried the Confederate flag around tho world. "And, finally, I 6how that when tho end came, and her banners were furled, both at Appomattox and at Greensboro, she stacked twice as many rifles as any other State of tho Confederacy. THE GLOEIOUS ANSWEE. "This is the answer, the glorious answer,which NorthCarolina makes to those who ask where she was during tho war between the States. To every call of duty whether to stain with bleeding feet the rough line of march, or to labor in the trenches, or to lead tho "way into flaming hell of battle, or to cover a retreat her sturdy answer was 'Adsum.' "Shall I recite the times and the places and tho deeds? Ask me to condense years into an hour, a vol- umo into a word, a prolonged and thrilling tragedy into a brief sigh. "Go, Ii6ten at the Atlantic breeze that sings in the pine forest from the Virginian peninsula toi the capes of Florida; go, sit beside the waters of any of the great rivers of tho South, and hear their voices as, rushing through rocky passes, or gliding grandly through lowland 6tretches, they seek the sea; go, stand upon tho heights of Cemetary ludge, or South .Mountain, or the blue hills which over-look the valley of the Shenandoah or the step as cent of Lookout and to him that hath eats to hear, from breeze and stream, aye, and from the very rocks, Will come a tribute ot praise and honor to the Old North State. "She boasts not; she never did of pny of her achievements. So far from it, she has never preserved the memorials of them, which other people are careful to keep of their own, but has been content to sub stitute for them a sacred shine in her own heart, to which, when un kind neighbors sneer, or degenerate son dishonor her, she turns with gratitude and honest pride. May jod forever bless and preserve her! THE CHOICEST BLESSING. "I invoke, too His choicest bless ings upon you, oh women of North Carolina, who have pursued with unflagging zeal and devotion the noble design which is this day ac complished, and upon which you may now look with eupremest satis faction, l ou have not erected this monument exclusively to the Con federate dead of our own State, nor do we confine our loving tribute to them alone. ' "We embrace in the wido sweep of our affectionate remembrance all who laid down their lives in de fence of the rights and liberties of the Southern States and people. "rrom the cold blue lakes upon tho Canadian border to where the warm waves lap softly upon the yellow sand of the Gult, on a thous and lull-sides and in a thousand valleys they sleep some beneath monuments like this, some in pri vate cemeteries, honsands, alas! in unknown graves. We love and honor the memory of all alike. They deserve such tribute if mor tal men ever did, and never was it paid more sincerely than now and here. "Stand then, bronze image ot him who wore the gray ! Thou canst not meet with calmer mien than did he the sunshine and the storm.
