SPEECH OF GEN. CHEEK,
DELIVERED SATURDAY, SEPT. 11TH,
At the Picnic and Re-pnion of ex-Confederate
Veterans in Henderson the
Peal Issues that Led to the War Be
tween the States.
,,', t nml (Gentlemen. VA't' .'v-
diets an.l Comrades: Tnis is a !ay i
ltrig f retr.emhered ly the "hi j
i'.'.xA' '!cr.i:- s,!!er. It is very pleas- J
ai.t f r i.:m to m v that he still hold-, a j
p!ae in the memory and a fleet ims of j
h; countrymen. ( )ne th:rl "f a fen-j
firy has passed since he la:d aside h;s j
mi; k-ricnts of .var and ceased to he a j
soldier. i
Changes have followed thick and
last during this event fa 1 period.
Changes of conditions, changes of so
ciety, changes of law and of govern
ment have taken place so rapidly and
so great, that it is hard to realize that
this is the same country and populated
ijV jie sa,e people that it was before
the war.
" The generation that has grown up
during this period know very little
what their forefathers suffered and en
dured to sustain the cause of a Con
sti'utiotial government ; and it stands
much to their credit, that they still
have an appreciation for the merits of
1
the "1jst ("ause," and an admiration
for the courage o! t he Condfederate
soldier.
When 1 look over this vast assem
bly and behold the fx es of many i;ray
ha:red mothers, whose husbands and
whose son-, were once our comrades in
arms when I see the young man of
today in the vigor of manhood and
the fair maiden m the flower of outh
and the young mother wiih her
group of manly boys around her, ( her
pride and the jewels of the State;
and when I look theie upon the
voting soldier clad in all the habili
ments of war, and armed from head
to foot, ready at the first tap of the
drum to obey his country's call when
I behold all these with one accord
gathered here to spread a feast and an
entertainment, and to do honor to the
I Confederate veteran, I feel that the
cau-e of a Constitutional I'nion a
,,;,, ,,t eou d and independent States
i not altogether forgotten, and that
'there is life in the old land yet."
What if the armies of the South
were driven from the field by superior
numbers? What if Stale sovereignty
was obliterated from the statute books
by national legislation? What if our
slave property wis taken from us?
What if our houses were burned, and
our fields desolated? Still we have that
about us, which all the powers of war,
and all the halls of legislition; and all
the proclamations of a sectional I'reis
dent .and all the licensed thieves of an
invading army; and all the flames of
burning cities and houses cannot lie
s' roy. We yet have our honor, and
the esteem and admiration of the good
people of the whole world.
In the war between the States wt of
the South fought for a principle; that
principle is the same today that it was
one hundred years ago. It is co eval
with the birth of the I'nion, and will
live as long as there is a I'nion. The
same princ ples that our forefatheis
cngr.'.hcd into the Federal Constitution
ai tlie convention which formed the con
federation kno'.vn as the United States
were the same principles that our rep
resentatives in Congress in 1.S60 and
i No i contended should be applied to
the government of the Territories of
of Kansas and Nebraska, and to their
admission as States into the I'nion.
The abolitionists of the North plat
ing a different construction on the
language of the Constitution said that
we of the South should not carry our
slave property into the Territories, nor
should the Territories be admitted as
States into the Union with constitu
tions recognizing African slavery.
The contention of the people of the
South was that according to the com
pact and agreement entered into by
the general convention of all the States
and known as the Federal Constitution,
this right was guaranteed to them.
The Supreme Court of the United
States in the year 1N56 in the famous
Dred Scott case had reviewed this
whole controversy and Chief Justice
Taney in a most learned opinion said
that the construction of the South was
the true meaning of the Constitu
tion. Whereupon William II. Seward,
and Floyd (iarrison, Horace (Ireely,
Wendell Philips, Thad Stevens and
others of that school denounced
the Constitution as a "covenant with
hell and a league with the devil" and
openly declared for a "higher law."
In furtherance of their purpose they
sent old John Brown and his lay
Hawkers into Kansas, armed with
Winchester rifles to take possession
of the territory and drive out any
S urhern man who shau'.d attempt to
move in, and bring along with him his
slave property. They stole the slaves,
and made war on their masters.
This refusal cf Congress to enforce
the law as declared by the Supreme
Couit and its failure to give Federal
protection to the Southern emigrant
and hi; property in the Territories, and
the armed interference of John Hrown
and h;s emissaries were the causes,
that brought on the war between the
States. Tr.e .pest am of giving free
dom to the slaves within the States,
was not before the public, either in the
halls ol Congress or elsewhere, except
that around Poston and some other
higher law" centers, it was agitated
by a tew extreme fanatics.
1 ;ie ag.tation of this .juestton, of
treeing the slaves in the States, soon
begin to spread rapidly and to work
gteat disturbances among the law
abiding, conservative Union men of
the North, and especially did it excite
d ssaiisfactton in the ranks of their sol
d.ers. Many of those whose terms of
enlistment were about to expire, re
fused to re enlist some regiments go
ing so far as to threaten to lay down
their arms, saying that they "were not
liguting to tree the slaves, nor would
they rtsl: their lives for the life of a
negro."
The men ui the North at home were
becoming more and more slow to vol
unteer, ar.d notwithstanding the in
ducements of large bounties, enlist
ments were well nigh at a standstill.
The outlook for recru its of the North
ern army was gloomy in the extreme
and Congress was in a state of grea1
perplexity. The complaints of the
soldiers had to be quieted, and the
protests of the law-abiding, conserva
tive party of the North, known as the
National Democratic prty had to be
appeased and satisfied.
To accomplish these obj-cts, and to
declare and define exictly the origin
and purposes of the war Congress in
the month of February, 1SO2, passed
a j ;nt resolution declaring that the
North was not waging this war on the
Southern States, for the purpose of
freeing their slaves, but purely for the
purpose of bringing back the seceded
States, and for the restoration of the
L'r. ion.
Bear this resolution in mind and
let us see how in 1 short time it is nul
lified and set aside, and in what an
arbitrary and dictatorial manner the
policy of the North is changed.
In the spring and summer cam
paigns following the adoption of this
resolution the armies of the South
were so successful that they had driven
the Northern army across the Potomac
and were threatening the Capitol at
Washington. Everything indicated
that success was about to crown the
efforts of the Confederacy, and for
eign powers were about to recognize
us as a separate n ttion.
You, my comrades, remember how
bright were our prospects at that time,
how full of heme and confidence we were.
You remember with whit a bght ami
bounding step you forded the Poto
mac; yo.t remember how the bands
played ami the b ys sang, "Maryland,
My Maryland." We thought we
could almost see the end of the war
with success and victory perched upon
our banners.
Everything was bright on our side,
while on the other side, all was gloom
and darkness. For tnem something
had to be done and done quickly, or
their cause was lost. And what did
they do?
!ehold a change of policy sudden,
radical and great. A change not
made by the legislative, or law mak
ing power, but by the simple declara
tion of the President, as the head of
the Executive department. A policy
in direct conflict with the Constitution
as interpreted by the Supreme Court
and in plain contradiction of the pur
poses of the war as set forth in the res
olution of February, 1S62. Within a
few short months, in September of the
same year, Abraham Lincoln issued
his Emancipation Proclamation, a
proclamation declaratory of a purpose
to directly interfere with slavery in the
States.
Any impartial student of history
will enquire why so sudden a change
of policy by so great a government?
Were they driven to it by some great
military emergenc)? or was it a strat
egic move of statecraft to prevent for
eign recognition of the Confederacy?
or was it a slab in the back to cripple
a victorious adversary? or was it an
expression ly the Yankee of his love
and affection for the negro? Poster
ity will judge.
I mention these facts to correct the
false impression which many school
teachers ar.d many school books are
engrafting into the minds of our youth,
teaching them, that the sole cause of
the war between the North and the
South, was the naked question wheth
er the negro of the South should be
made free or remain a slave. This
was not the original issue at all. It
had nothing to do with the beginning
of hostilities, and every student of true
history knows the contrary. If this
resolution of Congress above referred
to, daclared the truth, which no one,
not een President Lincoln dared
gainsay, then the assertion that the
freedom ot the Southern negro was the
cause of the war, is absolutely false.
That the destiny of the Southern
slae was that in time he was to be
come a free man, we verily believe,
but i hat he was to become so and at
the time and in the manner that he
did, is clearly not foreshadowed in the
policy of the government that gave it
to him.
It was some great and sudden emer
gency that precipitated it.
May it not be, that the emancipated
negro is more indebted for his free
dom at the time that he received it,, to
R. E. Lee than he is to Abraham Lin
coln? Lincoln was the power on the
throne that declared it; Lee and his
bayonets behind the throne were the
power that compelled it. Had not
the victorious army of Lee vanquished
the army of the North, and was then
threatening Us Capitol, the emancipa
tion proclamation would never have
been issued when it was.
Coming at the time and under the
circumstance that it did, it was noth
ing but a war measure a device to
prevent the recognition of the Confed
eracy by foreign governments an ef
fort to neutralize the great victories of
the Southern Armies and a coup
d'etat to shift the cause of the war to
another basis, that would make the
Northern side more popular with for
eign powers.
In this war between the States we
had as we believed justice and truth
on our side, and as brave men we
sealed our convictions with our blood
and offered our lives in defence of
our cause. We failed in our efforts on
the field of battle, but impartial his
tory is now giving us credit for the
ability and success with which we main
tained our honor. The honor and good
name of the Southern soldier is bright
and untarnished. There is no stain
on the fair escutcheon of Jefferson Da
vis, and it is no disgrace to have been
a follower of Stonewall Jackson or
Robert E. Lee.
We fought for what we believed then,
for what we believe now, and for what
we ever will believe was the Right.
We fought for a great principle a
principle that cannot be estimated in
dollars and cents, nor measured by
the value of four millions of slaves.
It was not for money; not for conquest;
not for territory; nor far slavery that we
fought: but for the great principles of
freedom and equality of equal rights
in the Territories as well as in the
States principles that our forefathers
had battled for and won, and had
transmitted to us as rich heirlooms.
The reserved rights of the States
under the Federal Constitution stands
today the same as when the conven
tion of 1787 adjourned. The same as
when Judge Taney in the Dred Scott
case declared them, or when the first
gun was fired on Fort Sumter.
And now as time rolls on and the
clouds of sectional fanaticism begin to
pass away and cool reason comes to
assert her seat in the minds of men,
we see that our construction of the
Constitution, thai for which we fought,
bled and suffered is affirmed by the
highest legal tribunals of several
Northern States. Within the last few
years the Supreme Court of Illinois,
and we think of New Hampshire and
Connecticut have rendered decisions
sustaining the Southern view of the
sovereign rights of the States. And
as fanaticism continues to disappear
we will see other States follow their
decisions. Truth is mighty and will
prevail.
"Truth though crushed to earth will rise
again,
Tim eternal years of God are hers;
Uut error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And die6 amid her worshippers."
To maintain our cause we carried
on a most unequal war for lour long
years, against a power with unlimited
resources. At last exhausted and
overpowered, wt yielded to the inev
itable, and surrendered.
As brave and gallant men we sur
rendered, and our conqueror Ulysses
S. Grant, himself a gallant soldier,
and magnanimous man gave us terms
both generous and honorable.
As honorable men we accepted
them, and have ever since 111 good
faith observed our promises.
We of the S ti'ii are today as loial
to the government ol the United States
as are the people of the North. We
recognize this country as our country,
and the old stars and stripes as our
flag. Should any foreign foe invade
our country, or dare to trample the
sacred folds of our flag in the dust,
there is no man throughout this broad
land lrom Maine to Alaska who would
defend it more gallantly, than the
Old Confederate Soldier.

It matters not from what cause the
blood becomes poisoned, it is impossi
ble for the doctors to effect a cure.
This class of disease has puzzled the
science of medicine for ages, and the
same treatment that was employed
centuries ago is now prescribed. Pot
ash and mercury are the component
parts of every doctor's prescription
for diseases of the blood.
Many of the so-called blood puri
fiers are based on potash and mercury.
In fact, S. S. S. (Swift's Specific) is
the only blood remedy that is guar
anteed purely vegetable, and is the
only one that contains no harmful
ingredients. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that cures real blood diseases,
obstinate cases that physicians and
other remedies have failed to cure.
It never fails to cure a blood disease
no matter how deep-seated the case.

Miss Bertha Whitwood.
Mr. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas;
writes :
"About three years ago my grand
da tighter Bertha Whitwood, was
thrown from a horse, receiving a
wc?undof the scalp. Under the treat
ment of physicians the wound seemed
obstinate, and for several months rer
mained about the same, until k finally
became very angry looking, and broke
out into a running tore. This soon
spread to other parts of the scalp, and
ran down the side of the neck, in
creasing in severity, and fearfully
disfiguring her.
"After being constantly under a
physician for a 3-ear, and her condi
tion a jcreat deal worse than at f.rt,
we placed her under the care of the
faculty of a well-known hospital, but
even the treatment she received there
failed to arrest the terrible sore.
"Keadiiipr of the many cures of
biooc! troubles effected by S. S. S., we
decided to try it. and it relieved her
promptly. At first this remedy seemed
to increase the discharge, forcing out
the poison; this soon ceased altogether,
and the place began to heal. In a
few months s,he was entirely cured,
nd scarcely a mark now remains
where the disease held full sway."
S. s. S. is the right remedy for all
