The North Responlble for Slavery and Only Found Fault With the South When the Trade Became Unprofitable for them. General Henry R. Jackson's recent address delivered at Alanta before the Young Men's Library Association has impressed me more than any speech or writing made in the Sonth since the war. I did not hear it, but I have read it and poadered it and read it again. It has a historical value that exceeds anything that has been said or written upon the subject of slavery and the slave trade. It is safe to say that no other man could have delivered it, for there is no living man so familiar with the facts and whose peculiar business it was to become familiar with them. Let me say farther, that as an argument it is exhaustive and unanswerable. Noth ing more need be said. As a literay and scholarly effort it is a master piece of cultured thought and beauty of expression. The truth is, I was charmed and cornforted, and my thanks go out to trie noble man who having passed his allotted age, was unwilling to leave his people without putting on record that defense of their fathers that truth and honor required. Now, let him depart in peace. Young men jof Georgia and of the South, have you read this address ? Have you got time and inclination to read it ? Do you wish to know the truth of history ? Do youj wish to cherish your Southern pride and have estab lished the good name and honor of your ancestors ? Had I been a member of that Young Men's Library Association I would have moved the publication of a hundred thousand copies and sent them all over the land North and South and some across the waters to Gladstone. Had I the authority I would insist that every professor history in every Southern college, male and female should read this to his class and teach it and linger and dwell upon it until the truth it contains was established in the minds of the pupils. I would declare it a substitute for that portion of every history that treats of the late war and its causes. I have long believed much that is stated in this address and lamented that I could not prove it. The data nor the records were within my reach, but I knew enough to feel the sting of every reproach that was cast upon us. In spite of everything that we veterans could do or say, Northern literature has insinuated itself into our borders and poisoned the minds of many of our youths. Northern histories have crept stealthily into our schools and colleges, and even the histories' of our own Southern men have only timidly and tenderly de fended us for fear of giving ofiense. Why should historians smother the fact that slavery began in New Eng land, and the slave trade was born there and rocked in her cradle and was nourished and cherished there lonrr after they had sold us their slaves and abolished the institution ? Why smother the facts as established by General Tackson from the records that New England continued in the slave trade until 1859 and eighty-five vessels left New York in 1859 and rS6o for the African coast and carried to Brazil over 30,000 slaves ? These vessels were owned and equipped by capitalists of New England who had for half a century been engaged in this business, and who, despite and in defiance ot Judge Story's charges to the grand juries of his circuit, never a man was prosecuted. Friends, countrymen, read what Judge Story, the great jurist, said in that charge about the horrors of the middle passage and your blood will curdle in the veins. Eugene Sue nor Victor Hugo ever depicted such hor rible scenes horrible enough as Milton says, to "create a soul be neath the ribs of death." From 1807 down to i860 New England vessels, manned by New England sailors, car ried on this trade, and as Judge Story's son says, "many fortunes were made with the blood money ol the cargoes that survived the awful horrors of the middle passage." And they never stopped it until the war began in 1861. Perhaps they are at it yet if there is any market for the poor wretches. Certain it is that New England is every year doubling the quantity of rum that ships to Afri ca to sell to the natives. Now, in contrast to all this there never was but one vessel in all those years that was evenly partly owned or controlled by a man from the South only one, the little yacht called the Wanderer and she was built, manned and equipped in a Northern port. This vessel brought her little cargo of black humanity to a Southern coast, and immediately her officers were pursued and arrest ed and imprisoned at the instance of Southern men a proceeding that would have never been instituted in in New England had the offenders and the offense been there instead of Savannah. No wonder that the God-like Webster was disgusted with he greed and the hate and the preju dices of his countrymen. No wonder he said when they threatened him : "A man cannot suffer too much or fall too soon if he suffer or fall in support of the liberties and the con stitution of his country." No wonder that Franklin Pierce stood, by him and said : "Sir, if your party overthrows you for this we will take you up and lift you so high that vour head will touch the stars." No wonder that when Nathaniel Hawthorne was asked if he was in favor of the war, he replied: "I suppose so, but I don't see what we have to fight about." And in 1863, jfhen he took a manuscript of a book to his publisher with a dedication to his friend Franklin Pierce, the pub lisher advised him to leave it out, because Pierce was opposed to the war. Then Hawthorne replied : "It shall go in. I will galdly sacrifice a few thousand dollars rather than re tain the good will of such a herd of dolts and mean-soirited scoundrels." No wonder that Emerson insisted on tendering to the South $2,000, 000,000 in payment for the slaves, as an act of juctice and as a substitute lor war. - Ah ! we had friends up there noble men, but they could not stem the tide. They were helpless. The devil was running the machine. ' The slave trade might go on, and the money be paid for the cargoes, but slavery was a sin against high heaven. They brothered the men who brought them, but damned the men who bought them. But Brazil was their market after 1840. Maryland and Virginia ceased to buy. The South had. enough. The natural increase supplied her plantations and a reac tion of public sentiment set in. The example of Jefferson and Randolph in freeing their slaves was followed by hundreds. The colonization so ciety shipped thousands of manumit ted slaves to Libreria ; but they did not go willingly and they perished soon alter they got there. It was a cruel exile into the jaws of death. My father as executor of Major Water's will sent thirty-seven of his slaves to Savannah, from whence the colonization society took them to Liberia in 1846. They were well provided with clothing and given $100 apiece in gold. Thirty of them died within two years and the other seven escaped by strategy and came back to Georgia to live in slavery with their old master's children. In i860 tree negroes were common all over Virginia. In 1861 we found at Winchester, while camping there, more freed-men than slaves. The Old Dominion was flecked with them and the sentiment was fast working Southward, and but for the threats and bulldozing of the abolition party, Southern slavery would have passed from us by gradual emancipation as advocated by Henry Clay and Ber rien and Joseph Henry Lumpkin. The truth is that the blood of" the million who fell in the war is upon the abolition party and its followers the higher law saints who broke tiie compact and were the first to set aside the constitution and the laws and the decisions of the higher courts in the government. The fanatical, malicious and "mean-spirited scoun drels," as Hawthorhe calls them, are up there yet exercising themselves in that peculiar religion, which is to abuse the South and preach temper ance and ship rum to Africa. We are reviving no animosities against the Northern soldiers who fought to preserve the union, for they had patriotic motives and followed the lead of General Grant, who owned slaves in Missouri and lived off of their hire up to 1863. He has been sainted, .fortune or late cast mm on that side. The dice fell that way. His battle cry was the "union," but New England denounced the union as a league with hell and a covenant with the devil, and the battle cry was "Free the negroes and turn them loose to kill, and to burn and de stroy." What a disappointment awaited their malicious desires and expectations not a colored hand was raised, not a firebrand was lighted, but faithful, loving and true most of them stood by their old masters, and their wives and their children, until freedom was forced upon them. Verily, as General Jackson says, a monument should be erected to their loyalty that should reach the stars. And now, Mr. Editor, I think I will feel better. Sometimes the pent-up feelings must be ventilated, indigna tion must explode, or it will fester and corrode in our vitals and blood poison our better nature. Yes, I think I will feel better for a good While. I will cultivate peace and harmony with all who love it. There are some signs up North that are comforting. A Northern man who fought on the other side sends money to mark a soldier's grave, and an Illinois man writes me that General John M. Pal mer is not even a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. Nobody seems to know the John Palmer who raised all that rumpus about the flag. A Northern lady writes a nice letter about her father, who was killed at Chickamauga in 1863, the Confederate lines, and watch were taken He fell within and his sword He was col- onel of the Thirty-eighth regiment Illinois infantry, and his name was David Harvie Gilmer, of Pittsfield, 111. This lady would rejoice to find that sword, and if any Confederate veteran has it or knows of it please inform me. And now it is in order for the North to act the gentleman and apologize and shake hands and say no more about flags or rebellion or treason. We are ready to forgive everybody except some. Arp.

The Democratic Committee and Kepresen- taties of the Alliance view the situation and jive Some Good, wise Counsel a Strong Address Democratic Success is to Be Obtained by Harmony and Mutual Concessions. At a recent conference of. the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Democratic party which was attended by many of the leading citizens from differ- ent sections of the State, and in which our present political condition as a party, was discussed in a spirit of forbearance and conciliation, it was deemed wise to issue an address to friends and adherents of the party urging that the same spirit shall enter into and control all our discussions and actions preparatory to and dur ing the great struggle of 1892. At the conference the undersigned were selected to prepare and issue the address, and we were especially enjoined to voice, as nearly as pos sible, the spirit of harmony and unity and loyalty to the Democratic party which characterized the conference. It must be apparent to ., any thoughtful observer that there is a general depression in agriculture and a consequent feeling of dissatisfaction and unrest among those engaged in that pursuit, though the tillers of the soil are not the oniy ones who are suffering from this general depres sion. This want of prosperity among the farmers has seriously affected the great mass of those engaged in other vocations ; in fact but few have escaped its baleful influence. Then we are common sufferers from a com mon cause. If this be true, can there be any reason why we should not work together to remove this cause and drive from power its author ? The real author of the grievances of which the people so justly complain, is the Republican party, which has administered the Federal govern ment for the benefit of favored classes and against the interest of the toil ing masses of the American people. And we appeal to our fellow citizens of all vocations to stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight we make against this great adversary. In the dark days following 1865 and 1869, we stood together against the same enemy in State affairs, and we conquered. The lessons then learned should not be forgotten, and we expect them to bear fruit in 1892, if we do not mistake the temper and patriotism ol our people. Let us not be guilty of the folly of wasting our strength and dividing our forces in uncompromising, acri monious contentions among our selves as to the best means of accom plishing a deliverance from the evils which now environ us and from the burdens which now weigh us down. Among these evils and burdens we will mention two about which it seems to us we can all agree and from which we cannot hope to be de livered till we overthrow the party which created them. The first of these is the inadequate supply of money in the country and the want of a better system for its distribu tion, so that it may be procurable more easily and at reasonable rates of interest ; arid the other is the un just and burdensome system of Tariff Taxation. The former we re gard as the chief cause of stagnation in business, and the latter a powerful ally in robbing agriculture and labor of just rewards. That the supply of currency is wholly insufficient for the business transactions of country needs no argument to prove. It is the ex perience not only of the farrpers but of most men engaged in other busi ness and professional pursuits. Now, add to this inadaquacy of money sup ply aid its improper distribution, the unequal and unnecessary burdens of tariff taxation, whose cruel exactions have now realized the wildest dreams of the most exorbitant monopolist, and we find a sufficient cause for the unrest and disquiet existing among our people. We affirm that those evils are the direct offspring of Re publican legislation: Other causes of greater or less weight may be as signed for the present depression in agriculture and other pursuits ; but they too, so far as their origin can be traced to legislation, must be charged to the same Republican party ; for there has not been an hour in the last twenty-five years when that party did not control one branch or other of Congress or the Executive and thus hold an effectual check at ail times upon the power of the Demo cratic party to give the people relief and redress by repealing vicious leg islation and enacting remedial meas ures ; so that it cannot in fairness be said that the Democratic party is re sponsible for failing to do these things. In our opinion the shortest practical road to the redress of the wrongs and evils which oppress the country is through the complete triumph of the Democratic party, which is the party of the people, whose fundamental principles are in harmony with their interest. This committee, composed often Democrats, five of whom belong to the Alliance and five of whom do not, but all speaking the sentiments of the Democratic party, sympathise with and unite in the strenuous demands of the people, uttered through the Farmers' Alliance, the various indus tral organizations, and otherwise for such thorough reform in the finan cial system as will give to our people a sound currency in sufficient abun dance and properly distributed, and relief from the burdens of tariff taxa tions. As to the particular methods and plans by which these objects desired 10th, 1891. , by all true Democrats, are to be ac jcomplished, it is but natural that I there should be honest differences of , opinion. One man ,may assign one ! aUSe for f general Stagnation in business and suggest a remedy which j he believes to be a sovereign remedy. ' Anntlipr mm onlK, Infallonf j m 114 till VjUOUJ UilUUUlt OUU j honest may differ with him as to the : real cause or the orot)er remedv to i be applied. It is manifestly unjust , to. charge either of of these men with dishonesty or enmity to reform where i reiorm is needed. Uur friends must learn to discuss all questions con cerning these matters in a spirit of fairness, good will and mutual confi dence and esteem, within the party lines, and when the time For action comes unite upon such men and such measures as seem most likely to lead us to victory and to secure lor the people such wise and needful re form in our national legislation as shall have respect to the good of the whole people and shall not be for the benefit and enrichment of the few. If we will remain united and detei mined, we may dislodge the Republican party from power and in time work out these needful reforms, but if we divide up among ourselves it can but result in continuing this party in power and thus perpetuating the evils of which we now justly complain. The unity of the Democratic party in the whole country is essential also to prevent the enactment of the Force Bill which would forever de stray the freedom of election, per- j petuate the rule of the Republican party and its vicious measures, which have so oppressed the people, and ruined especially the South. We have reason to apprehend that tmsjian gerous bill, which we all haanoped was dead, will be revived again and enacted into a law if, by our divisions, the Republican party should obtain once more full control of the law making power of the Federal Gov ernment. 1 nen too, we nave so much at stake at home in North Carolina. From 1 87 1 to 1891 our State Leg islation has been wise and for the best interest of our people. From 1876 to 1891 these wise laws have been wisely administered and during all that period we have had a clean, pure, progressive administration of our home affairs : and we do not hesitate to say that the State govern meat given us by the Democratic party is as near perfect as human institutions can well be made. It would be madness in us to divide up among ourselves and by this division turn our State government over to the party of 1868 and 1869; and we think to sow the seeds of discord and promote division in the ranks, of the Democrats of North Carolina from whatever motive, would imperil the best interest of the State and should be avoided by all true men. In view of these facts, and of the far-reaching consequences of the great struggle of 1862, we urge upon Democrats in every section of the State and of every shade of opinion to lav aside all feelings of prejudice and distrust, and to study and discuss every proposition made for reform with an earnest desire to secure the best. Speaking by authority of the State Executive Committee, we uree all our people to refrain from fault find ing ; we condemn abuse and vituper ation in whatever quarter, exhort all to practice a prudent and rational forbearance, and commend to you the supreme virtue of charity. Let us concede to all, as we claim for all, the inalienable right of opinion. The monopolists and their foster- father, the Republican party, will not loosen the fetters with which they have bound us without a desperate struggle, and we cannot please them 1 . . . - better man to waste our energies in fighting each other. Let us so de mean ourselves now that we may be able to present an unbroken front to our common enemy when the time comes lor action. Patriotism, coun try and home appeal to us for har raony and promise the rich reward of unity. Ed. Chambers Smith, E. A. Moye, Elias Carr, Wm. M. Robbins, A. Leazar, S. B. Alexander, H. A. Gudger, C.
