GREAT SPEECH U0N;U01UClLOTATtD. rroat tha Kaoxrllla Whig, AugaU M We publish below a portion of the able speech delivered in the Hoate of Represent stives, on the 15th nit, by Hon. Horace Mav. nard. We regret that its length prevent u from qnuting it . entire. The picture wblcb Mr. Mayaard draws of the "lost cause" i so true to the fact and, witbal, so admirabry executed, thai our reader will have great pleasure in reading it. Seldom b an ad dress more classioaiiy beantitul br faiore rig. idly thoughtful bees nttered tu 'the National Capitol. The extract Is as follows V rBi soutrirs oon'ifc'uxkAcr. . The "lost cause" was an idea, a sentiment, a principle of hostility to the Republican the ory of self-government taking organlo shape in the "Southern Confederacy," -which, its second officer declared lo be batted upon slavery, and which one of its leading Wgaris, the Richmond Szamintr, boldly announced to be ."A distinct reaction against the ciriliia lion of the. age.". Never walked A fouler spirit upoa tbis planet.1' Cruel, intolerant, orerbearlng, implacable, anfavoriog, treach erous, perfidious ungenerous, ungrateful, Av aricious, tyrannical to tbe weak, insolent to equals and sycophantic to the strong, it com bined the vicious defects of opposite systems without the redeeming traits of eltber ; a strange co-operation of free and of arbitrary government to form a type of depravity that neither unaided could produce. It was the ideal of evil, villainy sublimed. ' Beginning in robbery and ending ! repudiation, there was no crime in the catalogue of gilt that it did not commit. Reversing the Roroaa max. in it spared the strong ami wnrred upon the weak. Old men, children and woman, men defenseless and alone, were its victims. Prisoners were scourged and pillaged and then put to death unrlar the prolongation of torture. Tbepathatlo sanctity of the grave was denied, and trlnklets were whittled Irom the bones of the slain. Boasting of chivalry and loftier honor than belonging to the rest of the country, h demonstrated beyond (aril that Us booor was t than), and luat Its chivalry lacked every virtue aal every trace belonging to the semi- elvlHted Institution It affected to imitate. Its priion-prns at lloriomery, An)ernnville, Salisbury, Libhy, Cau Tbundrr, aud Belle Isle have become historic lo the relief of the Jersey prison-aijip and the (Hack Iloleof Cal CuttA. It idolised niilitary heroes, who d'S plaved the acquirements of the handit, the foot-pad and the tlnrkir?, and nrgincted thne of real merit Its cbo'e: ..'t:: i:.,s bo'fr dishaneal and inrajiahle, uoJsratooa a,iiter the obstacle to be ovreonie eor (he nitasj at iitt tor&siind, Vrt 44 bib. JONESBOKDUGH, TENN FRIDAY- SEPTEMBER ;4, 1868. engaged in the great work they pretended to, exhibit such poverty of thought. Not a State paper existed worth being read.' Not a lofty sentiment, not generous appeal, not a noble or magnanimous defiance was ever uttered. There was neither grandeur in victory nor pathos in defeat, Eloquence attempted no successful flights ; poetry felt no Inspiration ; Biusic had none but borrowed melodies ; art furnished neither statutes nor pictures, and literature not a liueto be remembered. Such was the "lost cause" in its hey-day as it ap peared to all' but the deluded women aud youth, who decked its hideousness in the hues of their own gaudy imaginations. Of Such are not the kingdoms of earth. Nations nro not constructed of so bass material.- Well it is called the "lost" cause, just as we speak of a "lost" Woman, A "lost" spirit, a "lost" sotlt.' ' . So Understood, It is no paradox that it still abides, direful, porteutout, a power fur evil in the land. Hardly bad it recovered from the first craven fear of bandog and confisca tion which followed the detest of its arms belore it renewed the same vile practices which marked its progress from the outset. Clothed by the mistaken clemency of the Ex ecutive with local authority, it lure-bore hos tility toward the Governnitnt and the North ern people, and exhausted its virulence upon objects at borne, the emancipated and enfran chised colored people, the white Unionists and persons of Northern birth, especially set tlers since the war, or, to borrow its own dia lect, tha "niggers," the "scalawags," and the "carpet-baggers.'' , ' . (' TREATHBNT Of COLOBKO PKOPLS. ,, ; The hostility to the colored people amounts to passion,, almost 'to madness. Everything likely to alleviate their bard condition has been resisted bitterly as. leading to " negro equality," their freedom, their right to con trol their own. labor, to own property, to t3- tify in court, no less than the right to rote and to hold office,. Efforts for their educa tion have provoked especial persecution. School-houses have been burned and schools ".roken up ; school-masters, white and color ed, have been subjected to cruel scourgings and other nameless indignities, and driven away; school-mistresses have fared only not soibad; and tUsse outrages, not single acta of wickedness, confined in their locality, but so numerous and so far asunder as to demon strate preconcert and purpose. The riots at Memphis and New Orleans, in I8G&, are but too well known. Murdered, shot at, whipped, robbed, disarmed, to say nothing of insults and contumelies numberless, what have these people dode to provoke, 1 do not say deserve, such treatment? According to no man's theory were they the responsible cause of the war which resulted in their freedom. Not bv their own seeking are tbey free. To them every franchise has come like nnsought bless ings from above. Nor can It be truthfully said that they have misused their gifts. The ar son, rape and slaughter traditionally in re serve for the master race whenever the slave should be made free, have not, I believe, in a single instance occurred.' With all their die. couragements they have been more nearly self-sustaining than-the samn number of landless and homeless people of the white race. ' ..-,, ' ', The few millions wisely and humanely ex. ponded by the Freedmen'a Bureau for tbe care of tha very old aud the very young, and for securing to all tome degree of justice and fair dealing, have been rendered neces sary by neglect and oppression iwbcn we should have expected better things.. K was something els that aroused) the ire against them. Every individual colored man sur rounded by his little household, in his " oas tie of defense,'' though but tbe humble cab in, is to the " lost cause" A bandage of de feat, and be Is vis'ted with the wrath impo tent against the power of the Government. It Is the ignoble vengeance of the ruffian who, worsted in bis public broils, takes satis faction at borne in beatiog his wife and chil dren. Such is the spectacle nightly exhibi ted somewhere lo the Sooth of a party of youog white.men, claiming to be gentlemen, boasting of chUatiy, stealthily Surrounding tbe lowly home of an ii-otfesaive colored man,, generally one whose years and charac ter give hiru influence with bis race, drag ging him from bis bed to lacerate him with hundreds of stripes, if not to lake his life. Brave young meat the pride of the "lost cause," soldiers, perchance, in the non-com-batent departments of the confederate ar mies, figuring appropriately af'tournaments," as they call the puerile imitations of the cast. off rubbish or an obsolete age. ' TRSlf M KNT Or WHIT UNIOKISTg. i Not blael men alone are the objects of their spite. The Union white men, loyal to their Government, who either never joined the " lost use" or have abandoned it. Southern by birth, education, and constant residents, tbe " scalawags" l their vocabulary, come ia fol A heavy share, .pone so worthless to escape. ' Tbe best talents, the . highest culture, the purest morals, alike with the lowest and moat degraded, fall into eondem, nation if not in sympathy with this accursed spirit. The recent assapsiuatmn of Ashburn was a representative .crime. The men who slew hiin were tbe type of their class; and they struck him down, not for any personal grievance, but, as tbe embodiment of ideas and principle which they hated. It was an act truly worthy of the " lost caise,' en of Its most cbsrncteristic developments. An old man, much beyond tbe meridian, honored by being tb chosen of his people, in the capital bis native Ueorgia, denied admission lo tha house of public eoieriaio maut. forced to accept obscure lodgings, is arooaed from sleep at midnight by band of wretches, and slain by tha side or bis bed. lis ayurdercrs assume to be tbe first in what they all society. Thay plxo the ded for day sod execute It iib little mercy as a gang of pirat'S. He was a Kadkal, had been a conaiileut 1nina man, and favored tbe re construction arts of Conferral and tha new Constitution. - This whs the bead and front of kis offending. Te conceal their guilt they charged it upon his friends, the colored peo ple. To palliite it they malignrd his charac ter. To JuHlify it to their ow consoicac they cried, " One enemy leas I" Fools I the number of the utartris never grow less. , '. tn CAiirrr-saaosii. Another class eupwiajly obnoiioos (o the " lout cause" are the tnao of Northern birth, who hare gone luto the Smith lines tbe war, tb " carpet-bff7rr," as thy era snesringly celled.

No ! It found tor tbt g- vine precepts of hospitality, to feed' even an enemy if be hunger, and if be thirst give bitu drink'.. .'.' ".:. '- .; I have not thought it necessary to make an array of proofs. They to whom these words are primarily addressed, the thought ful and candid people of the South, know only too well that I did not exaggerate or overstate. Now, I appeal to these pebple whether they have not bad enough of the " lost cause " And its Immedicable evils. What have they to gain by adhering to it or keeping alive its memories and tradition? To what purpose is it that secret clans are allowed to organize and in hideous garb te. prowl and maraud? Do they imagine that a great people, a magnanimous people, will permit tbe black man, made free bj their be best, to.be trampled under foot and their boon timed into A curse ? Can they believe that the country will not stand ' by the moq who in the time of sore trial stood by the country? Are they conscious of no danger in practically denying to the citizens of oth er states their constitutional right of citizen ship in all tb Slate? Is it not about time to have done with the pestilent foliej, or will they still sow the wind, not content to have reaped tbe whirlwind ? Why not accept ac complished fact however unwelcome? ' Is not the Southern Confederacy detonct ex ploded, collapsed, gene like the baseless fab tic of a vision, burst like a bubble, and leav ing nothing in Us place ? Is not slavery dead, dead beyond tbe hand of resurrection? Will not wise men Ret upon these, two facts and all they Import? - - Then why contend against the inevitable ? Why look mournfully upon the past, and not hopefully npon tbe future? Why seek to re build the wrecked and shattered fortunes of A party that has entailed so much sorrow up on tbe land ? Why repeat tb folly popular ly described as " crying after spilled milk?" Why persecute the negroes, why curse the Radicals? Why waste your t,lme in "tourna ments" and in tbe obsequies of the "lost cause?" Why make yourselves ridiculous by mouthing of "negro equality ?" Do you not see that while, yon were looking back ward and trying to reverse the civilization of the age, the world leaped fotward more than a " cycle of Cathay ?" Then dismiss the lost cause" into the limbo of lost and forgetten things, and join that other "cause" which represents humanity and progress and civilization, keeping up with its cvertnoviog columns I . the Inloa as It Was. ,, Schuyler Colfafc said in 1864 1 But the' Buy "we are for the Cn ion as it was." 1, too, am for the Union as it was, and the reanon I oppose the recognition of tho Confederacy is be cause I will not consent that a singl j star shall be plucked from the nzure bluo of our national banner. They are all to bo there, and every star to represent a State. If you want any of those stars pluoked out and your nag trampled nnder loot, you should select some Other man for Ileprosenta- tive, lor 1 never, no, never, shall con sent to it. .But if these men mean by the Union as it was, the banging of men in lexas for daring ts vote tor the Presidency of their choioe, then I am not in favor of tbe Union as it. was. If they mean the right to mob and murder mon from the North because they believe in the Declaration of In dependence, then I am not- in favor of the Union as it was. If they mean by it the right to commit all manner of outrages on peaceable, law-abiding cittKons lrom the JNorth because they happen to hold different .views from thorn, then I am not in favor of tbe Union as it was. After Hie Flesh-pois. In tbe proceedings 'of the Democrat ic Ptate Convention of Missouri, held at Jefferson, on the Ctb, we find the following : '' - "Mr. llinffham, of. Jackson, put in nomination W. IS. Dunscomb, and sta ted that ho had beerr either Auditor or Treasurer of the State during the greater portion of bis lile." That is the secret of the attempt to galvanize the doad corpse of Democ racy. The party is marshallod by a set of politically defunct, tried and found wanting, demagogues, who are moving heaven and earth to got back to tho "floeh pots of Egypt. Tbey will have a good time at it ! . ' ' . . . Just Exactly So. The New York World of Wednesday last, contains the following item: ' "A Seymour and Blair ratification meeting was held ia Aiken, South Carolina, yesterday. Two colored men, followed by Wade Hampton, spoke. A colored Democratic club marched in the profession." '' How dufs the Democracy of Lan caster County relish this? , Ab, De mocracy, bow various thou rt!- If a negro is a Democrat, he is a gentleman, to.. If he is Kvpubli. can, he is an ignorant thief.

A fine instance of rebel courtesy and ohivalry- is given in Bndeau's "Military History of the Life 'of Ulysses S. Qrant," a' work that bus attractod a wot I'd wide attention.' I is the , product of a scholar arid a soldier. One of our ablest statesmen says that "no one who reads Badeau's book can doubt the extraordinary capacity of Gen. Grant, and his emi nent fitness for civil administration.' But to tbe extract, descriptive of Gram's intorview with the rebel gen erals after he had. whipped Pemberton at Vicksburg, Gen, Badeau says: lie went direct to one of the rebel headquarters, but there was nO one to receive him and he dismounted and entorod the porch, where Pemberton sat with bis generals;, they-saluted ! Grant, but notone of them otlered him a chair, though all had seats them selves Neither tho rank nor reputa tion of their captor, nor the swords he had allowed them to Wear prompt ed them to this simple act of cour tesy. Pemberton Was especially sullen both ip conversation and behavior; Finally, for very shame, one of the rebols offered a place to Grant. The day was hot and dusty; he was thirs ty from his tide, and uskrdfor a drink of water. They told him he could tind.it outside; and, no one showing him the waj. he groped io a passage ntiuii lie lotinu a negro, who gave him a cup of cold wa ter only, which his enemy had. almost denied.
