Item Title
"Twenty-Fifth Day. "
Description
This article gives the proceedings of the Confederate congress during the twenty-fifth day of its session . That day a delegation from Alabama presented a marble inkstand to the president of the congress , and J . L . M . Curry spoke about the gift's significance and Alabama's industrial potential . William Parish Chilton then spoke about designs for the Confederate flag submitted by students at Tuskegee Female College , and he commented on the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln : "This is the day when our Northern brethren inaugurate their President--the grand gala day which consummates their triumph and enables them to carry on their government without being partakers of what they esteem our sin of African servitude , but which we regard as the God-ordained auxiliary to Christianity and civilization . We bid them God speed , and wish them all the blessings they are capable of enjoying . We are brethren , and since we cannot harmoniously live together let us part in peace . We tender them the olive branch , and upon them will be thrown the terrible responsibility of rejecting it , if it be rejected. "
