When Senator Hawlet'S reso lution requesting tho Tresident of the United States to communicate to tho Senate a historical statement concerning the public policy of the executive department of the Con federate States during the war, came up for consideration Senator Vance made a speech in which he flatly denied 'some state ments filed in the War Department by General Sherman. So lar as it concerns the people of North Car olina it was unnecessary for Senator Vance to have denied these state ments, for the one thing above all others which accounts for his popu larity is, that ho has never deceived liia people. But doubtless our readers would like to know what "old Zeb had to Bay to the charge of being untrue to the Confederacy, so we publish his remarks in full, tie Baidr Mr President: As the Senate will probably pass this resolution and placo upon its records an un official paper, filed in tho War De partment by General W. T. Sher man, which contains statements nflecting certain persons, it is but right and proper that all persons so affected Bhould be heard in the same fornm. ...As one, thus inter ested, I desire to notice some state: ments made in that communication to the War "Department. In-order that I may not be misinterpreted I have placed iu writing the material portions of what 1 desire to say, which shall bo very brief. , It is understood and, I believe, not denied that in a speech made not long since in Saiut Louis, Mo., ; General Sherman said he had seen a letter written by Mr. Jefferson Davis to a Governor of a Southern OLitLU UUI lllg UltO niiij Jiun n tor, in which-Mr. Davis threatened the coercion of any Southern State that should attempt to secede from the Confederacy. As there are, I hpl'mm. thrflrv Senators "at least on this floor who were Governors of Southern States -during tho war, myself being one, 1 immediately on the appearance of that statement denied through the Post of this city ; that any such letter had ever been received uy me. . xue newspapers soon after stated that General Sherman had been interviewed as to my denial, and had stated that Iia had not alluded to me as the person to whom the alleged letter had been ; addressed, i very nat urally thought that this denial at both ends of the line had concluded tho matter so far as I was con cerned; but it eeoms not. In the stifrtmp.nt filed in the War Denart- meut, as published in the papers of tue country, x nna me iouowmg ' assertion: .. '' " V . .. 'V7 " "r:";.; At Raleigh, though the mass of the public record had been carried off, yet u cumber were left .behind at the Btate liousa and at the governor ' mansion, called the "palace," whioh we occupied us headquarters during our stay there, namely, from April 13 to Aril 29, 1885. - These records and papers were over hauled by provosts-marshal and clerks, who delivered to Adjutant-General .Sawyer such as contained material in formation, and my personal attention - ? on ly drawn to such as were deemed uilicient importance. Among the ks collected at the palace in Raleigh wis a clerk's or secretary's "copy book," containing loose sheets and let ters, among which was the particular letter of Mr. Davis to which I referred in my Saint Louis "speech." I gave it li.tle attention at the time, because Mr. i wis was then himself a fugitive, and ' li opinions had little or noimportanco, - t it explained to my r-ind why Gov-;;-ir Wire, liflt'r K. .!,ii:,T; to me com ; - - ' t - t , -t f - ! State BC':t- stated by Colonel Dayton in a recent letter to me from Cincinnati, "I am quite sure that we generally talked that it was the desire-of Governor Vance and the State officials to take North Carolina out of the Confederacy, as I have stated, but they were afraid of Jefferson Davis and wanted protection. ? .Concerning this I have the fol lowing observations to make: 1. That not letters or documents of a public character were ever left at wy residence in the governor's mansion, while I was governor, at any time. - 2. No clerk ' or secretary of mine ever used as a repository for my Correspondence a "copy-bookj' all ollicial or public letters being first copied in the letter-book required by law to be kept in the executive office, and then bound into bundles and placed in tho files, where they remain to this day. v . . , 3. General Sherman did not find iu that copy-book "the' particular lettor Of Mr. Davis to which he re ferred in his Saint Louis speech," for tho simple reason that thore was nosuch letter there. . a r . 4. I aver most positively, on the honor of a gentleman and an Amer ican Senator, that ho ? letter con taining such a threat was ever received by me from Mr. Jefferson Davis. All letters from him to me of any nature are to be found copied in the letter-books of the executive department of NOrth Carolina, now in the War Department in this city. The reasons given by General Sherman by way of corroborating his statement are such as would scarcely bo relied upo by a re spectable lawyer. lie says he paid "little attention to it at the time' and does not say that he ever saw it afterward; and farther, that Mr. Davis was then himself a fugitive, and his opinions had little or no importance ! It was, perhaps, the little at tent ion r given to the opin ions of an nuimpoitant man that enabled him to - remember so well the contents of the letter in which they were expresse4 after the lapse of nearly twenty years I The sug gestion as to tho probable fate of that mysterious letter, that it was burned 4n the great fire in Chicago, is a mere apology for its non-production, which at the same time contradicts the idea of its impor tance; for had it been such as he says it was, it would certainly have found its way to the public files. - But there is, ' another matter averred by General Sherman that more nearly concerns me, and to which I shall very briefly ask the attention of the Senate, ; ' : ; i l It may be that Northern gentle men who were on the victorious side during the civil war -can not properly appreciate the feelings and sentiments of those . who were, on the side of mistbrtune and defeat. Tliey.seem to regard it as quite a sin that. we do not readily join in the denunciations of him who was onr leader iu the war, and hasten to condemn him on all occasions as the surest vaj.f excusing our con duct and commending ourselves to the good opinion of our late, oppo nents. Surely no man of even the slightest sense .of . honor could re spect a Southern man who would thus 1 debase ; himself.- Surely the most flagranti ' and rampant traf ficker in tuo issues , ot, sectional hatred would prefer an; adversary who walked upright on hit) feet to the One wlrd crawled upon his belly. If flot; ;wliat must b(i thought of his own manijopu? t - . , Now, sirs,' bo it known to you, that those of us who pledged onr laitu to each other lor the establish rucnt of the confederacy gave up all for which 'we contended when it failed, retaining to onrselvf-s only one solitary satisfying reflection, and that was that we had at least served onr pountry faithfully hon' estly, and devotedly; as we under stand it. ' . , , v '. ',;', . . This satisfaction General Sher man's statement would to some ex tent take from me, and this it is, sir, which I resent. It is well known that I was drawn into secession un willingly; it is also well known that in regard to many of the details of administration I was at variance with the authorities of the confed erate government; but-it is equally well known, J hope, that, after my own: honor ? was engaged ; and the honor of my: native ' State, - there never was an- hour during all that unhappy time in which I did not give every energy of my body, mmd, and sonl to the success of the cause td; which I had pledged my alio giance. General ShermanJ profess' ing high respect for ine, for wbjch I thank him, thinks, perhaps, that ho does me a kindness and commends me to the people of -, the country by holding put the idea that I was dis affected while Governor toward the cause for which I was ostensibly fighting, and that I was anxious to separate myself and State from the confederacy, but was restrained by fear. Sir, 1 want no man's respect or good-will based on the supposed virtues of treason to my country and the desertion of my associates. Tho good-will of a man who would respect these traits in another is not worth picking tip f;- .V- dust cf the com approached r,:.!eii:,j, to-wit, ex Governor Swaiu and ex-Governor Graham and Snrgeoa-Gvaeral War ren, told him that I wanted to make separate terms for the State, but was atraid of ' Jeff Davis." I do not believe "it It cannot be true. The two gentlemen first named are dead; they were eminent 'North Carolinians, of most exalted charac ter in all respects, and most espec ially for troth. They Anew I was faithful to tho confederacy;' they knew that I was not afraid of oppos ing Mr. Davis when I differed from him, because they had seen me con stantly doing it, and they neper told General Sherman or any other living man the contrary of what they knew to be trn as perfectly as any mon in North Carolina.". ; 4 - ; The other commissioner, Dfi Ed ward Warren, was surgeon-general of the State Df Northr Carolina, is now living, and is an eminent physician in Taris, His statement would : surely carry as much proof of what was said there' as that of the witness cited to prove that there was talk about camp Of "the desire of Governor Vance and other State officials to take North Carolina out of the confederacy, but they were airam oi jell. Davis and wanted protection." Trne.it is that I sent a commission to him under a flag of truce to ask protection, not separata ternjs lor the people of my State, but at that moment the war was virtually ended. Lee had surren dered, Richmond had fallen, Presi dent Davh and his official house hold wore fugitives, and General Johnston,1 commanding the. last remnant Of an army devoted to, the South, was about to march west ward, no one knew whither, and un? cover the capital of the State. With his consent and approbation 'that embassy was sent and through his lines under his permit it went. Be fore its retnrn lialeigh was uncov ered and I had left to join Mr. Davis, at unanotte, where the surrender! of General Johnston was authorized and the finality of things brought : about. Then and there I took wy leave of Mr. Davis and of the cou federacyj and went back with' his lull approbation to share tho fate of my people. . , . General Sherman . finds : an ex planation of my failure to wait the return of my embassy in the con' tents of tne. mysterious letter- that I was afraid of Davis, then a fugitive without an army, Bold enough he days I was to send an embassy: to the enemy, but I was afraid to await its return!"' Was ever conclusion more absurd! - The reason why. J did not .wait was that I had been told my embassy after passing through the confederate lines had been captured by Kilpatrick's cav alry, promptly robbed of their per sdnal effects, and taken before Gen eral ; Sherman as prisoners.... Not rotnrning np to midnight of the day on which they were sent,'! con cluded this to be true, and left with the retreating troops..,;,; j f V4''i How well and how faithfully I served the lost cause the country knows. My own people, sir, about whose opinion I am most concerned, will wonder that anybody; can.be found to question it.' - " " ' ; i Condensed from News and Observer. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
