Calhoiin Day.
, H. C. , April 20. Calhoun
day bioko bright and beautiful and at an
early hour great thrones of people began to
gather along the louto of the procession ,
which preceded the unveiling ceremonies.
Nearly all the chief men ot this state and
many prominent visitors Irom abroad aie
present. The ceremonies , which should have
commenced at 11 a. m. , were delayed until 1
o'clock , The parade formed on South Bat-
lery and marched through the main streets
to Marlon situate , where the monument Is
erected. Tjpontho : urival of the piocesslon
In thu squate the vast assemblage was called
to order and Uev. C. C. PIcknoy , D. D. ,
Offered the opening praver.
The movement to erect a monument to
John C. Calhoun was ' et on foot in 1 1 ,
when eleven ladles met , formed an associa
tion for the purpose ol laMng funds and set
to work. By the end of the year SS.OOU had
been raised , and canvasseis were sent out
to augment this sum By IbCO It had been
Increased to S'-0CO ) , and the money came
from rich and poor alike. Then came the
war , and of course theio was a cessation of
efforts In behalf of the fund. But It wns not
lost In the general wreck of fortunes which
accompanied the struggle. In IbSO the
maiket value of the securities 1n which the
money had been Invested was 551,101.77.
Font vcaM before this time the actual woik
of building the monument was resolved
upon. Tlilileen gentlemen of Cuarleston
wei made a committee , with Majoi Henry
K. Yoiiiii' . chairman , and thu contract was
made with Mr. Harnlsch to rvciite the
statute and design the psdcstai for SH.O'X ) .
The contract called for a bronro
statute of Calhoun , to bo placed on
a pedestal of Carolina granite , and tour
allegorical figures of Truth , Justice , Consti
tution and History. The liuuro of Calhoun
Is louiteen feet high , and represents him ad-
drrsslng the senate. The monument Is
placed In Marlon square , opposite thn South
Carolina military academy on Calhoun
Street.
Tlio following was the order of exercises ;
Unveiling thu monument by thlity-two
young ladies ; artillery salnto of nineteen
puns ; ode by Miss Chesborough : oration by
Hon. L. ( ) . C. Lam.ir , and ode bv Mrs. Mar-
caret.I. Preston. Tlio tush to hear Secre
tary Lamar was Immense and the great
squaio was black with people.
Air. Latnar began Ids oration as follows :
Wo are assembled to unveil the statue
which has been erected to commemorate the
life and services ot John Caldwell Calhoun.
It Is an interesting fact that this statue Is
rcaicd , not In the center of political power
( ttie capital of the nation ) , or In the empo
rium of American nmteilal clvlli/atlon , but
In his own state , where ho lived and where
bo was burled. Tins ciicumstanco is in har
mony with the life nud character ol the man.
One of the most lmpie < slvu traits of tnat life
and character was the attachment between
blmsell and the people of South Carolina.
His devotion to their welfare was sleep
less , and they always telt a deep , unfalter
ing , proud , and affectionate re-
Ihinro upon his wisdom and leadership.
Tills faith in him crew out of the fact that he
was notwithstanding his Imposing position
as a national statesman , a home limn ; a man
Identiliod in sentiment and sympathy with
his own people , who , as neighbors and per
sonal friends , standing face to face with him.
had that Inslglit into His private life and
character which is seldom If ever obtained in
thu public arena the real life of the man ,
the Ilfo of motive and purpose and feeling.
In this Intimacy of personal Intercourse ,
wherein the qualities ot mind and heart are
unconsciously drawn out , there was revealed
to them a noble , lovely chaiacter , full of ten
derness and self-sacrlflco , gentleness and
candor , and a simplicity and beautiful truth
of soul vvtilch made lilm the light of their
eyes and the piido ot their heart.
The speaker then gave a brief sketch of
the comrovery In which Calhoun bore a part
and the causes leading up to It , and contin
uing said : 1 bellovoff he were hero to-day
nnd could see his own South Carolina , the
land of Uutledge , Mimltrle , Lawrence , Hay no ,
Lovvndes , Sumpter and Marlon , restored ,
largely through thu cllortsof her lion-hearted
Hampton , to her proud position of dignity
and equality in the union , he would say to
her that tlio great controveisy being closed
at the ballot box , closed by the arbitrament
of war , and , above all. closed by the consti
tution , alwa ) s deemed sacred ami invlolabln
by hoi , she sacrifices no principle and falsl-
ilos no sentiment In accepting the verdict
dnteimined , henceforth , to seek the happi
ness ot her people , their greatness and glory ,
in the greatness and glory of the American
republic.
After giving a condensed statement of Mr.
Calhoun's early life and education , the orator
took him up at the time of his entrance Into
congioss at thu ago of tweiiteight , on the
eve of the war of 1812 , and desciibcu his
political principles :
He icjecled alike , said Mr. Lamar , the
do ma of the feovcrolcnty of monatehles and 1
aristocracies on the one hand , and on the i
other the shallow liciion of the social con
tract as the foundation ot government. Hn
asserted boldly that society and government
both wcru of Divine ordination ; that the
Sunremn Cnntor and Uulor of all had
in His Infinite wisdom assigned to man the
social and political state as the best adapted
to the moral nnd Intellectual faculties and
civantles with which He ha.l endowed him.
'Ihn fundamental principles ot government
he foi nd In iho wants and feelings and
tendencies of man , wioit.'ht theie l > y the
band ot ( led , which , In their development ,
assumed the attilbutcs and functions of for
mal ( .ovcinments. The external forms and
organizations designed to prevent the ten
dency of goveinment todlsonlur and injus
tice , called constitutions , are the contriv
ances ol men , vtho are lelt to perfect by their
icason ami free will th government that the
Infinite has otdulncd , just as Hu h is created 1
tliemateilal laws of the earth , nnd left man
to impress It with his own personality.
'Iho light to prescit ! > e these consti
tutions and to coeice society Into sub

thority in the last resort , from which there

preme , absolute and ultimate power resides
is a question which has not only challenged
the speculations of philosophers In the closet
and statesmen hi the naile-iiul councils , but
has also been debated on bloody fields In
arms. On this question Mr. Callionn w.is ,
Item principle , always a lepubllcau and an
Ameilean democrat , llo maintained tnat
the people were the legitimate source of all
political power ; that govcrnmeutit oulit
to be created "by them and for them ; "
that powers conferred upon government

of eminent nnd able men a * wen
In the house of representatives o
tlio congress which declared war agalns1
Knglanrt In IbU and the ono following it
Mr. Calhoun was clecUd to that congress a
the nfo of tvvouty-seven yeard. HP had beer
admitted to the b rouly two years befoie
1'pl this unknown youug nun , this obscurt
attorney from nu obsuuro country village , r
Mrangvr to eleaut accomplishments am
grarcfl of scholarship , bfforo he had made i
speech toek bis ptecn at the heart of those din
\iiiiUlshul \ and brilliant m n , ai ihdr eg.ua
and their suncrlor.and maintained It with In
creasing Power and evor-wldeding fame to
the end. Mr.Calhoun was placed econd on the
most Important committee , that ot foretell
relations. He was at once Its animating
sphlt and the mainspring of ItsacMou. and
under his Influence It soon submitted a re-
pott vviltta'i by him , which lecommended
immediate preparations for war with ( treat
Britain. In the debate that followed Mr.
Calhoun made a speech In Its suppott , which
stamped him as an orator and a statesman of
thi ) first lank , and made him the champion
ot tlie war and the author and supporter or
the measures for its vigorous prosecution.
The effect of his speech Is arous
ing the country to a sense of wrong
and danger , and to thu vindication
of our national honor and threatened
independence , was like ma/lc. lie showed
that the object of Knghnd was really to re-
many the rnlted States to the condition of
commercial dependency which existed In her
colonial st'itc. Ho made the people of the
country see that the simple l stie was war or
submission to the loss of Independence and
nationality. The commanding power ot the
Rptcch lay in the Intrinsic toice and grandeur
ol truth , and its clo < | tionce In the noble utter
ances vvhk'h appeal to the moral sentiments
ot the people and address themselves to the
highest faculties of the Intellect and the
nolilc..t aspirations ol the her.it.
Approaching tlio early course of Mr. Cal
hoiin on the subject ot protection , Internal
Improvements , and a national bulk , Mr.
Lamar made an analysis which the limited
space of tills leport requires us to condense
more than we like. Ho explained that at
that period a r'otectlvo taritl , Internal im
provements , and a national b-uik ( were meas-
uies that virtually originated In the war ;
that they v/ere not questions of Internal pol
icy , but related exclusively to the national
security , in consequence of the slate ot our
esteinal lelatlons. Uegardlng them asmeans
of nitlonal defense against dangers from
abroad with which wo were imminently
threatened , Mr. Calhoun did not look for the
oiisiltutlonal authoiitv lo adopt them In the
emimci.tted and described powers ot con-
giesj , but ho deduced It fiom the plenary
p ( wer wlilch peitalncd to the government us
the solo sovereignty of the republic in its re
lations with other nations. In proof ot his
viovv , tho.speakei cited many passages trom
Mr. Callioun's speeches ma lo at that peiiod.
Pardon tlio digression , said .Mr. Lamar , but
Ideshe hero to state tint through all Ids
speeches theio In eat lied the stiongest senti
ment of devotion to thu union. Ho has said
ttiat , in his opinion , the Ilbetty andtho union
of this country were -epatablv unitedthat ; ,
us the destruction of the latter would most
certainly involve the former , so its mainten
ance will , with equal ceilalntv , pren-ive It.
He did not speak lUluly. Hu baa often
and long revolved it in his mind , and
ho hadcimca'ly examined into the easus
that destroyed the liberty ot oilier states.
Thoie are none that apply to us , or apply
with a force to alarm. 'Ihe basis ot our
republic is too broad to be shaken by them.
Its extension and owanl/ation will be found
to afford elfectual ' ectuity against their
operation ; but let It bo deeply Impressed
upon the heai t of this house and this country
that , while they giiaided against the old. they
exposed us to a new ami terrible danger
disunion. This single vvoid comprehended
almost the sum of our political dangers , and
against it we ought to bnperpctuullv guaided.
Tliw very last speech , liat ho dellveiea in
the house of lepresentatlves wan Hue that
wlilch at the end of his life he delivered in
the United states senate. It was a plea lor
the union.
Hu believed that the constitution was violated
lated In using a power granted to laiso reve
nue as the instiiimentot rearing up the in
dustry of ono section of thu countiy on the
ruins of another ; that It was , In a word , "a
violation ot the constitution by perversion ,
the most dangerous of all , because the most
insidious and dllllcult to counteract. "
Mr. Lamar then gave a sketch of Mr. . Cal
houn's course from the time of the adjust
ment of the tariff question to 18 4. The
vaiious questions growing out of the removal
of the deposits , renewal ol the charter of the
national bank , internal Improvements , pub
lic lands , assumption of state debts , the
tarilf ot 1815 , the abolition of the veto power
and the annexation of Texas , etc. , then
came under rev low. Ho dwelt somewhat on
Mr. Calhoun's course in refcienco to the
executive pationaxe. civil setvlco and re
moval from ollico. Husaid :
On the 15th of February , 1835 , ho made a
report on the extent of government patron
age which startled the country by its revela
tions ot the enormous extent to which the
abuses of the svstom Ind grown , andtho
degenerating influences it was exercising
alike upon the government and the chaiac-
ter ot the people. Animated and acrlmon
Ions debates arose In the senate upon the
lacts stated In the report. In maintenance
of tlio positions assumed therein Mr. Cal
houn made a speech which Is perhaps as ap
plicable to the present times as It was to
thobo in which it was delivered. After
showing how alarmingly the systeu
has grown ho proceeded to demonstrate
tin ) causes which produced it am'
which gave to It Its growth and Its daiieeioti'
inlluence.s. At the head of these causes no
placed "tlie practice so greatly extended , if
not for ttie fust timelutiodiiced , ot removinu
from otllce persons well qualllied and who
had faithfully performed their duty , in order
to till the places with those who were recom
mended on the ground that they belonged to
tlio party in power. " In speaking ot the ex
tent of its grow th , ho stated that Washing
ton , in Ids eight > ears of seivice , had made
but nine removals : Madison but live , Mon
roe but ten , and that he , whilst secrctaiy
of war for more than saven years , re
moved but two , and that for cause
"I consider It , " said Mr. Calhoun , "as an evl
deuce of that deep degeneracy which pre
cedes the downfall of a republic , when those
elevated to power forget the promises on
which they were elevated : the certain effect
of which Is to make an impression on the
public mind that all Is juggling and trickery
In politics , and to create an Indifference to
political strugkles highly favorable to the
growth of despotic power. "
Continuing , Mr. i.amar said : 1 am proud
to say. fellow-cltUens , tnat it has been my
good fortune to associate with one against
whoao administiatlon ttie only cilticlsm
which has been pronounced is his sacred re-
gaid for similar piomiscs and the uncon
querable intrepidity with which he stands by
them.
Mr. Lamar then took up Mr. Calhoun's
position on the question ot slavery , speakhu
as follows : Fellovv-clti/ens : 'iho Institution
ot Slav cry 1 That question Is settled.
Slavery Is dead buried in a grave that
never gives up its dead. Why reopen itto-
dav ? Let it test. Yet , if 1 lemiiln silent on
the subject it will bo tikon as -admission
that theto Is one put ot Mr. Calhoun's llto
ot which It is prudent for his friends to say
nothing to the picscnt generation. Dissimu
lation and evasion were so foreign
to his character that In Ids own easp no ono
would disapprove- and even disdain such
silence more than lie. 1 have this to Fay :
That vtith reference to the constitutional
status ot slaveiy in the states , Mr. Calhoun
never entertained or expressed a scnlimeut
that was not entertained and expressed by
Henry Clay , John Qulncy Adams , Daniel
Webster , and all the eminent statesmen ot
his time. That slavery was an institution of
society In the states , sanctioned and upheld
by the constitution ot the United States ; that
It was RU institution of property ,
recoenlred , protected , and enforced even
upon the states where slavery did not exist ,
by the fundamental law of the union ; that
it was an Institution of political power which ,
under the provisions of the constitution , In
creased the representation of the southern
states on ttie tloor of congress , and In the
electoial college was admitted ny every pub
lic intu in the country who had the slightest
title to position as a statesman.
The only difference between Mr. Calhoun
on the one hand , Webster and Clay and such
statesmen on the other , was that the meas
ure * hostile toslavety which they sometimes
countenanced , and at other times advocated ,
lie saw and predicted were in eonlllct with
these guarantees Hi the constitution , and that
Ihi-lr direct tendency and inevitable clfuct ,
nnd , in many ease-t , avowed motive , was the
destruction of slavery In the flutes. And
whilst Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay disclaimed
any such motive &ud denied any such
probable effects , ho declared to
Mr. Webster In debate that
the sentiment would crow and Increase
until , in splloof thn constitution , emancipa
tion would be consummated , nud that he
( Mr. Webster ) would hlmsolt bo compelled
to succumb to it or be swept down by It.
Mr. Laiuar then went on to naako quota
tions from Calhoun's speeches to show tlmt
these predictions of hU carao truo. In the
course of his remitks on this subject Mr.
Lamar stated that If at this very day the
north or the American Union were to pro-
1-O50 to rcsUUIlbb the iuslltuUou the south
could not and would not accept it as a boon.
Mr. Lamnr , after quoting the opinions of
Croat statesmen of Calhoun's time , extolling
the hitter's eloquence , closed his oration as
follows :
Mr. Calhoun was Iho true son of South
Caiollna. HU just fame and great iinmo
were the fruits of her social systemaud It will
bo her glory when succeeding genera
tions shall learn nnd upprecato
the lessons or political truth tatuht
by him and shall Inhale his pure splilt of
patriotism , his exalted conception of duty ,
nnd become inspired by the honor , fidelity ,
courage , and purity of life which rooted
themselves In the oul of the man whose
statue South Caronlia women have erected In
commemoration of the nlfectlonato reveicnce
with which they commended him to the
honor. love , Imitation and confidence of
mankind.
