Mr. Daniel’s oration on the occa- casion of unveiling the Lee statue at Lexington, while glowing with that passionate anmiration for the South- | ern chieftain which has become part | of the Southern nature, does not at- tempt to make Lee afsecessionist, or a believer in that doctrin. Mr. Daniel tells the plain truth. ‘‘Lee,’” he Union |} Union | for he would “twas emphatically a man. He the with a soldier’s loyalty savs, loved ardent the government he served, and with a patriot’s faith in the institutions of his country.”? And there is still stronger evidence of Lee’s Unionism than this. He was actually offered chief command of the Union army— and this after President Lincoln had issued his first call for 75,000 troops. He refused this offer made to him by President Lincoin through F. P. Blair, Sr., in these words: “Mr. Blair, I look upon secession | as anarchy. It I owned the four millions ot slaves in the South I would sacrifice them all to the Union but how can I draw my sword against Virginia?’’ The last sentence here turnishes the key to the wholt of Lee’s subse- quent history. He had inheirted the idea that his first allegiance to his own state, which existed before the Union and was the chiet agent n forming and founding the Union. He could not draw his sword : her. His sense of duty, the powerful motive in him, prompted him to offer that sword was unst most in her de fence, without, what it would* was accepted ; perhaps, knowin lead to.
