MEMORANDUM PRIVATE,
At about 3 o'clock p. NJ on the 9Th OF May, 1912,
sent into the House of Representatives request TO
the Hon. Henry A. Wise that he would see me
for few minutes. We repaired TO the Speak
er's room, when and where ! Immediately told him
that had called to him touching the unpleasant
and unsettled personal matters between him and Mr.
Stanly that the state of the laws IN this District rem
dered il mex pedent open discussion OF unpea'
SAINT personal matters here and impossible to do more
than to make an informal verbal communication to
him; that il regretted that the nature oil the com
munication would would necessarily impose upon MN
| (Mr. Wise) some trouble and perhaps inconvenience,
| which under other circumstances would have been
most gladly avoided He (Mr. Mangum) hoped that
an ample apology for the proposition he was about TO
| make would be found in the circumstances TO which
he had alluded Mr. Stanly desires that you, person
| ally, some friend Of yours, will be at Barnums do
tel IN the city of Baltimore, next wednesday week,
the 18th instant, at II o'clock meridian, when and
where he (Mr Stany) desires to open the discussion
| of these unpleasant personal matters.
Mr.. Stanly postpones the discussion to the PERIOD
| mentioned because he cannot sooner, probably,
| procure he assistance of the friend whom he de-
sres to participate in the discussion, and to act fur
Their, in case the controversy shall unhappiy take an
| unpleasant turn.
Mr.. Wise said he would consider the proposition
that he did not then any why he could not
attend at the time indicated but that II, on reflection,
any should occur to him. he would apprise Mr. Man
gum of it,
Mr.. Mangum then said that if the day indicated
slo lid not, reflection, suit the convenience OF Mr.
WISE any other day of that week, say from Tuesday
to Friday, inclusive, would be agreeable, snpposing
notice of any change to be given in time. That be-
ing the week Of the at Baltimore, any day OF
the races would be desirable the absence Of gentle
from this city would he readily accounted for up
on supposition of desire to witness these sports.
We then separated, and Immediately thereafter in
the Senate Chamber, | made this memorandum,
which is substantially what passed between MI Wise
and Mr.. Mangum.

we answer nlm frankly, we did and if
we are asked why we did it, our answer
shall be here recorded. When that large
and respectable meeting was organized,
Mr.. b. Paul was unanimously appointed
Secretary Notwithstanding as in contempt
of the wishes of the whole assembIage, he
bluntly refused to act. Although he re-
mained during the whole proceedings a
passive looker-on, until the motion to
adjourn was made. then MIR. Paul rose in
his place and moved that the proceedings
be published in the TocsIN,' and naming
no other paper, yet he knew that the meet
ing, the largest one held for four years in
the city OF Albany, was indebted to the
proprietors Of the NORTHERN STAR and
its friends, for getting it up to allay the
excitement that existed, and were then
actively engaged in the proceedings Of that
meeting. After so Aagrant an insult Of
fered to the editors and proprietors of the
Northern Star, as MIR. Paul's resolution
implied, did MIR. Benjamin suppose, or
Mr.. Paul, that we would take notice of
it. We can assure them if they did, that
they are mistaken in their men. On the
other hand, we treated it with that silent
contempt which it so richly merited and
we should have never referred to it again,
had it not been for the twattle and toa-
dism of the Tocsin.
In Mr.. Benjamin's letter, we are dri.
ven to the task. We should not have no.
ticed il, but common respect for our
selves, and common justice to all with
whom we come in contact, induced US on
the present occasion, as we ever shall be
found ready we trust, when respectfully
applied to as in the presen, instance, how
ever widely we may differ from those whom
We have unwitingly come in collision
with. But in conclusion we would say
to Mr.. Benjamin, that his request 10 have
his name 6iotted ont FROM the book of the
Association, came rather too late, as his
name had been blotted out some time pre-
yious to his request by the Association,
they having weighed Mr.. BIS frmness in
the balance and found it wanting. There
fore, he need be under no apprehension
in future about his being held responsible
for any thing that may be justly charge
able to the Association, or its present edi-
tors.

ANOTHER LATE AND IMPORTANT DIS

ANOTHER LATE AND IMPORTANT UlS-
coyERY.-Our readers will recoIlect that
some four weeks ago we published what
zoe consider few just Eemarks upon the
absurdities Of aselitionists and we have
since very repeatedly been Informed by our
colored friends, that we had expressed
sentiments which they had entertained for
,s,re In the course of our remarks,
which were hastily drawn up, we thought
with very few exceptions. we had gwen
,bol;,;onists credit for all they had done
for colored people although we knew that
,.,e had not stated all that they had LETT
,ndone-and now, being called upon to
,rove what we had +" unwarrantably, un-
;ns,ly. and cruelty" asserted, we do not
"a, hut that we have the ability to show
,h.t facts. though sc stubborn things and
;ncontroyer,ible, are not necessarily " un-
true and malignant because spoken IN
candor. Three weeks had very pleasantly
nassed away, after the Objectionable tea
,ures of that article" had gone forth to
the world; during which time they had
no, like mighty incubus upon the
minds of some eight or ten auxiliary edi-
tors Of the Tocsin; when 10! the alarming,
thrilling peals ofthat Gwfut Iocsin IS AGAIN

the Northern Star; and it is really asto-
nishing that an extra was not immediately

ltae people OF color" We are perfectly
aware that some excellent. things have
been done for US; we know that some have
done well and nobly, and they shall always
have the .warmest gratitude of our hearts;
and such men as Garrison, Smiih, Tappen.
Love]oy, and some others, which we could
mention, who have endured much for the
cause OF God. humanity and truth, shall
be held in grateful aud lasting relnem-
brance, by our children's children. while
the remembrance of others who would
aspire to the same honor, shall pass away,
like the early dew before the rising sun;
and here we consider i. proper to say, that
when wespeak ofthe consis,encies of abo-
Iitionists, we always mean to except such
as we have named above, who have ever
stood foremost and firm in the support of
the cause of the slave.
But again, the editor says: g We do not
hesitate to say, that that paper is conduct
ed and supported, mainly by an,i-aboli-
uonlsts and colOniza,ionists. Now we
challenge the STAR 10 deny it," We
should really think that one who is so.
quick TO discover what is " understandable,
unjust, untrue and malignant" in others,
would hesitate" some, before asserting as
true, things of which he is as entirely ig-
norant as a Mahometan; and although we
know him to be man of deep research
and profound knowledge, Of astonishing
parts and. clear understanding, yet,
g we do not hesitate to say" that he mas
uttered things positively false. Our paper
is published by an associatian of colored
persons, and the editorial has always been.
conducted by coLoREp MEN. We are
supported by persons of all parties, aboli-
tIonists, colonizationists, democrats and
wings. We pursue the even tenor of our
way, unintimidated by threats, unmoved
by tlattery, thankful for the smallest favors,
and confident Of success, we do not intend
to be eaten up Of zeal, nor run before we
are sent. We have no connexion with
the colonization or any other party. We
have heard abolitionists say that the spirit
of colonization was dead, and if they say
nothing "untrue and malignant" why is
it that we have twice been accused of sup
porting that system. Certainly, if the spirit
be dead, what is there to fear. The body
can effect nothing; and what under Heaven,
can re-create, or bring into existence, that
which is annihilated.
Now, if we are the "mere tool of colo
niza.ion advocates, and abolition haters,
the mere cats paws of those who despise
u.s." as the editor does not "hesitate"
to call US, the most ehectual means which
he can use to destroy us, will be to pro-
claim our denial of these things, through
the columns Of The Iocsin and if we are
+" mainly supported by colonizationists and
abolition haters," we must certainly fail.
What more is wanting to prove the
colonization character of our paper
=" How truly lamentable it is, that colored
men can" see as far in the millstone as they
who pick it. "WeIl done for the abe
litonism of the Star" Certainly a blind
man can see none in it; "and we nave
only TO ask once more of our coIored tel-
Iow-ci,izens, if they will sustain" STAR,
in preference to Tocsin'.
=
The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-03-31

that fear is powerful agent either to sub
due or control, very crafiily opens his
address to the colored people, tfor we be-
lieve the whole of it is meant to tickle
lhem,) by reminding them Of Mss Co
lonization (whom we recollect 10 have
heard was worried to death, and buried
without benefit of clergy by some aboli-
tionists, a few years ago;) whose cruel,
and " Objectionable features" he doubtless
thinks, must eternally haunt colored peo.
pie and being troubled as certain man
was who desired to rule the people, consi-
dered it really necessary to raise the dead,
in order to prejudice the minds of the CO.
lored people against our little paper; bu,
IT is no go, for truth is mighty and will
prevail"
The editor then proceeds as follows.
"The editorial article in the present num-
Der is an unwarrantable, unjust and cruel
attack, directly upon the whole body of
abolitionists, and several Of its statements
are no less untrue than malignant" Now
tappears very singular 20 US, that such
rebuke should come frogr, those who, are
guilty Of manifesting the same unjust
and malignant" spirit; and we are sure if
the writer has any conscience left, he must
have done great violence TO it. In the
Tocsin of Jan. 10, we find the following
1--WE view the church, as being in very
wicked position, and as deserving the
frowns Of offended mercy. We believe
the power Of God rests upon the Ameri-
can churches" This appears to be The O.
pinion of the charitable and pure minded
man who edits that paper, in regard to the
whole church Of God; and SO firm is he
in his belief that he does not even excep.
those "aboiton churches" which have
demolished the Negro pew" Truly,
this is magnanimous. Again, March 10,
we observe the following +" Mr.. Delavan
is now so unfortunate as to be opposed by
the titled clergy, and the drunkard and
the rum-seller." What beautiful con-
nexon-Ae clergy, the drunkard and The
rum-seNer-therc is nothing 1" untrue or
malignant" in these statements" The
editor does not denounce the mass"!
These are no unwarrantable, unjust and
cruel attacks directly' upon the whole
body of christians: but is it possible that
Mr.. d. has no friends among the titled
clergy, or abolition ministers" All. bro
ther c.. remove that beam out of thine
Own eye. Gould the editor justly complain,
if we should adopt his method of arriving
at conclusions If we should call him an
| in6del, because he had made a direct attack
upon the whole church, and the "Htled
clergy"-that his paper " is conducted and
supported mainly by in6dels and sceptics"
that il proof Of what we say, he will
see his outside going the rounds of the in
hdel papers, il they ever get their eye
upon it," and that cit will be sweet
morsel for them"
We will now review the "unjust, ma
lignant, and objectionable features Of that
article" which are contained in the ex-
tracts which the editor has So beautifully
qrouped together. But for want of space
| TO insert them we must refer our readers
| 10 the whole article as found in our
paper of March 7, in which will be found
