carried with him the sympathies of the audience.
lie was replied to by Mr.. Garrison, who has
long been a consistent NONRESIDENT. lie took the
ground that the only way to overcome evil is to
resist it with good. Christ's example and teach
idgs were in favor of this position. The world
had been blessed more by martyrs than in any
other way. lie would take a slave from his perse
cutors without bloodshcd but he believed in the
inviolability of human life.
Leonard Gibbs, of Washington, was on the pro,
gramme for an address but Douglass was called
for, and Mr.. Gibbs gave way.
Mr.. Garrison said that if this place was to be
the arena of a discussion on Non-rcsistance he
had no objection; but Mr.. Douglass had dragged
the question in, and if the discussion of it wat
continued, it would be his right 70 reply.
Mr.. Douglass answered him, and was again re
piled to by Mr.. Garrison. We were interested in
the discussion, tut thought it in extreme bad taste
The people had come together to celebrate a victory
of right over wrong, of Liberty over Slavery, and
not to hear p discussion on non-resistance. And
while we admired Mr.. Douglass wit and eloquence
we thought some of his remarks ungcncrous and
uncalled for. lie asked, for instance, how man,

From the Charleston Murcury, September 1911
TIE RE-OPENING OF THE SLAVE TRADE
DEFENDED-MR. WISE'S REPLY
TO DIR. ADAMS.

Mr.. Wise's reply has been published and attracts
much attention at the North. 1t is full of his own
warm blood, defiant, eloquent, headlong, sometimes
exaggerated ald confused but Astounding in original
and striking views. lie contrasts the condition of
the African slave in the United States and Brazil
in regard to religion, civilization and physical we'll
being, with the African at home, and vindicates
slavery and the slave trade by the good they have
done.
One conclusion he comes to, quite unexpectedly
to US. We retain a lively recollection of the tur.
MOL he created, while Minister to Brazil, on the
subject of the slave trade. In this letter he refers
back to that matter, and draws an exaggerated
picture of the horrors Ofthe slave trade-a repre-
sentatiOn that is at war with probabilities, and
with the general fact that the slave ships, unless
where they are hunted down and driven to ex
tremities by the armed cruisers of England and
the United States, bring over their cargoes in
healthy condition, with little loss by sickness on
the way we say, Notwithstanding his own exagge
rated sense of the slave trade, he declares unre.
servedly that all the laws against it ought to be
abolished. They have not, he says, broken up the
trade, and they have greatly increased its inhuman-
ties.
lie might have gone a step further, and shown
that if Christian nations had not only forborne to
prosecute the slave traders and force them to be-
come desperadoes and halfpirates, but had put
them under the guardianship of wholesome laws
and regulations, they might easily have relieved
the trade from every stain of inhumanity, and
made it as great a gain to the individual Africans
transported as it has proved to be to the African
race. Nothing would have been easier than to
enforce such regulations. The great difficulty of
making ~effectual the many laws passed by England
and the United States for the improvement Of the
passenger trade, has been that tho parties engaged
in the transportation of emigrants had no interest
in the preservation of the lives and health of the
passengers. They were paid in advance, the dead
and wasted were as profitable as the living and ro.
he was landed, and paid much or little, just in
proportion to his healthy condition. The interests
of humanity and of the slave-traders all urged
the same objects, and it would have heen easy to
carry them out, But it seems predestined that
professional philauthrophy shall always play the
fool.

SLAVERY IN OHIO.

We call attention to the article we copy from the
1ntt- S2are,y Bugie, showing how some of the con-
ductors of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Rail Road
connlve with Southern tyrants to perpetuate Sla-
very on the free soil of Ohio. II the present Anti
NeDraska movement has not in it an elemest
sumclently Anti-Slavery to create q sentiment that
VIII conuumn and drive out OF the State the actors
In such iniquity, we shall deem it a small improve
meht indeed upon the spirit and sentiment that
mas heretofore submitted to the steady demands
and encroachments of the Slave power. We shall
believe 1t until convinced by indubitable evidences,
-COium6ian. 1890
Perhaps we are not good at tracing the cohnec.
ton between cause and effect certainly we are
unable to see how "tho present Anti-N ebraska
movement is going to drive out of the State tho
actors in such an iniquity," as that referred to
above. We think the ColumJiaa's organ of dis
covery must have been unusually mAgnetized, when
1t could make such an observation, especially when
the fact was just transporting before it, that several
OF the prominent newspaper organs of the anti
Nebraska movement" were the advocates of slave
holding al Wiun, in transit through Ohio. The
editor of the Cleveland Herald would have turned
the key of that car door and locked the slave from
his rcscuers. So would these editorial associates
of the Herald, who made such an outcry about ths
outraged right of the stakeholder, who lost his
%chattel in Salem the other day, their melancholy
din for his loss for the time, drowning their cutlery
against the Nebraska outrage. These editors con-
%tributed most largely TO this outrage, to which tho
Columbian refers, by their support and defence of
the former crime Of slaveholding in Ohio. They
led the railroad folks to suppose that public senti-
ment would sustain them in trpeding IN the dust
liberty and the Ohio Constitution. And their con-
tributions to the Anti-Ncbraska movement did
nothing to hinder this result. They saw that
Anti-Nebraska men were by no means, of necessity
Anti-olayery men. We see it, too, and therefore
arc compelled to think the Columbian will DO dis
appointed when it calculates that the "Anti-Ne-
braska movement" will drive slaveholdinc from
Ohio. 1t requires an ABOLITION MOVEMENT, p~ositire
amt direct, to do that, and we greatly grieve that
the friends of abolition should waste their time and
energies upon any other movement.

There can be no doubt but there is a coming

Passing of the Nebraska bill, and the desperate
efforts lately made to enforce the Fugitive Slave
law, have evidently awakened the whole American
community to the determination, on the part of the
slavehelding power, to maintain and extend their
dominion.
Religion and humanity, thus daringly outraged,
rlaim the aid of every Christian ON both sides of
the Atlantic. Let these be but faithful, united,
aud porscvering in their prayers and their labors,
till truth, justice, and liberty triumph over every
obstruction. In proportion to the urgency of the
crisis will be tho drain on the anti-slavery excheq-

ished, either by donations of money or by giving
the labour Of our minds and hands, so that we
may prove our earnestness to help on the good
work of the slaves liberation.

seeding Pastures.

The following good practical remarks on the
subject Of sowing grass seed, and on the i'm
portance OF mixed sorts, is from the excellent
address Of A. b. Dickinson, before the Tioga
(Pa.l Agricultural Society. We would recon
mend single improvement--tha of sowing
double the amount Of seed specified, as thick
growth not only increases the quantity, but, by
causing ine stalks, greatly improves the quail

The red clover is the only kind of grass the
wheat grower should cultivate, and that is the
very kind the grazier does not want except to

red top. All these are slow to start and ma
ture, while the clover starts quick and protects
not only the soil, but the other grasses, until
they mature and spread, and run out the clover.

the different kinds Of good grasses mixed

when any kind is green and fresh, cattle do
much better than when ripe and dried up.

An ECCENTRIC WILL.--Mr. Railing, of New
Hampshire, England, was among the victims
of the late railroad accident between Brighton
and London. His heirs, after having paid him
the customary funeral bonors, did what all heirs
do in similar cases, opened the will Of the de.

have in his post-humous liberalites. As he had
never given penny to either of his relatives,
during his lifetime, they expected to be the
richer, now that he was no more. One NAV
imagine the surprise caused by the first line Of
the will:
This is my testament. give and beaueath
all my goods, present or future, movable or
imnoveable, in England or on the continent.
to that railroad company on whose road / have
had the happiness to meet with death. that
blessed deliverance from my terrestrial pris-
on"
Further on, the testator gives his reasons for
his bequest. The idea had taken firm posses
sion Of bis mind that he was destined TO die a
violent death, and the most desirable one in
his view was that caused by the explosion Of a
locomotive. He travelled, therefore, constantly
on the railroad in England, Belgium, and
France. There was not a station where he was
not known. All the conductors were familiar
with his peculiar costume. He had narrowly
escaped death several times Once he was
shut up in car under the water another time
he was in the next car TO the one that was shat
tered, and he described with the greatest en-
thusiasm those terrible accidents, when he saw
death so near, without being able to obtain il.
Disappointed in Europe, he went to the United
States. He made frequent excursions on the
Ohio, the Mississippi, the Ontario, the Niagara,
but notwithstanding their frequent explosions,
be returned with whole skin. He was des-
tined to be crushed under car of the mother
country. 1t is, said that the relatives will at
tempt to break the will, on the ground Of in
sanity, but it is probable that the railroad will
win the suit in spite Of the proverb. that the
murderer never inherits from bis victim.

spect, there are occasionally some fields or
parts of fields which do not catch. The RENE
dY for all this is. on your dry land where your
seed would not be so likely TO grow, have your
soil well prepared early in the spring, and SOW
it with spring rye. On the first dragging, let a
man follow the drag with four quarts to the
acre Of each kind of seed, timothy, red clover,
and red top. Then-cross SOW it with two
quarts each, of white clover and blue grass,
rolled in plaster; then drag it all in well.
will i never bappen if the seed 4 GO GOOD Sow
one bushel Of plaster to the acre when the rye
is a few inches high. This course is only ne
cessary in extreme cases. The reason that rye
is better to seed after than any other crops that
/ have tried is it grows tall and without leaves
at the bottom, while oats and other spring
crops grow thick at the bottom and smother
the young grass.
