A few years before the beginning of
oui civil war a gentleman iu Washing
ton sent to Mr. Webtcr and to a .South
ern Senator a line fish each, which were
wiapped in pajier, aud directed. The
carrier delivered them amiss. Webster
grt the Southern man's and ate it. The
.xjutherner, on seeing his was directed
to Webster, forthwith sent it to him.
Webster, rn meeting with bun. jocular
ly told him be was an honester man
than himself. Toe city of liostou. if I
do not mi-remember, srave to Webster
at two ditferent times $1"0.000. avowed
ly on account of w hat he had done lor
their interests, by means of a protective
tarilf. Aud yet. when he made his will,
he inserted a clau-e begging them to
L'ive more to his family. Webster, af ter
voting for one of ("lay's compromise
bilN. bad a public dinm-i uiven to h.ni.
and was toasted as "a Northern man
with Soutiiern principles." Iu bis re
ph be said that, although fie might not
come fully up to this description, he was
sure he did in one particular, iu.-v-much
as ' he never troubled himself about the
payment of his h bis." This was when
Mississippi repudiation was making
much noi.-e in the world. If any North
ern man thinks I am treating Vebtcr's
memory cruelly and unfairly, let him
read Theodore Talker's fu o r il oration
on his death, and he will lind that iu
comparison I treat Webster tenderly
and compassio .alcly. When 1 read
I'arker's oration, it produced a sensa
tion similar to what I wou.d have left
had I seen a'i dd sow tearing to i n i
the dead body of a ireiitleiuan. Say ami
Jiiuk as tlie Northern man may. there
ha been hitherto a w ide d lieiviice be
tween the la a of morals at the North
and at the South. Hut if, as I believe,
this has be-n distasteful to our Northern
brethren, ami that, whatever may have
been tlieir (toasts in asserting NortJiern
superiority, they have all along been
conscious of tlie contrary. I can believe
that this consciousness wa a large I n
?r in inciting them to drag down ami
I nniliale the Southern whites. Hut I
beg them to possess for a while their
souls in patience; at the rate we of ti:e
South are now progressing under North
ern rule, we shall soon beco.j e as big
rascals as themselves, and lie a homo
geneous people. I will lie-" s rt by
way of parenthesis that iu Cratville
county, as I was told by old citizens,
when I first moved into the cu-iuty in
lS.'ll, there had been but oue capital ex
ecution ; although several crimes be
sides murder had been made by lav
capital otfences. Insanity among the
slaves was almost unknown ; and I nev-
r heard of a case of suicide amongst
them. The only cases of suicide among
negroes, that I ever read of. occurred at
Savannah, in Georgia. A U. S. vessel
captured a slave-ship, (I think it was
called the Creole, but of this I am not
sure,) which with its cargo of Africans
was curried into the port of Savannah.
The la v of the U. S directed that Afri
cans thus taken should be sent back to
Africa, whence they were taken ; but
inasmuch as Congress bad made no ap
propriation for this purpose, they were
kept in Savannah about a year. When
i.c appropriation was made, and when
hy were about to be carried back to
tln-ir native home they begged piteously
to lie allowed to remain, and expressed
a .viilingness to be sold as slaves; and
finding this cou'd not be done, according
to the accounts given by newspapers of
that day, many- of them killed them
selves. Whilst at the Uull'alo Springs
in 'C.7 or in conversation with a
very worthy ami intelligent negro waiter
named Henry, fie told me bis wife was
in a lunatic asylum. Up ui enquiring
into the cause of her derangement, he
said it was rexjtoii.iiliilifi As I did not
understand this, he explained that she
had had a kind master and mistress
leaving her with no care or anxiety for
the future of herself and a large family
of children ; but that since emancipa
tion, w hen she had to provide for all,
the thought of such responsibility had
made her insane. The best defence of
secession that I have ever seen may be
found in Irviugs Knickerbocker history
ol New York, where be tells how the
New Fnglanders bv lying, cheating,
stealing, robbing, aud encroachiug, al
most drove the smils of the honest,
simple-minded Dutch, out of their
bodies. I have no patience when I hear
former slave owners declare that they
would not restore slavery it they could.
I would agree with them if they would
make the proper reservation, which is,
unless we could have it free from out
side interference, such as came wheu
the serpent of Abolition crawled into our
