Thirty Years Axe.

It is difficult to realize the change which
the last thirty years have produced in the
opinions of the very community in which we
live. Thirty years ago Calhoun had just be-
gun the agitation of the slavery question. The
anti-slavery men at the North were despis-
ed an insignificant minority. Calhoun, after
the failure Of his notification movement in
1888, deliberately brought up the slavery ques-
tion. as means ofuniting the South. He and
his followers first gave the anti-slavery move
ment publicity and consequence which it
had never before attained. The petitions OF
American citizens, relating to the subject of
slavery, were dismissed by Congress without
a hearing. 1t was the systematic policy of
the Southern politicians to exaggerate the
movement in order to thoroughly unite their
followers. They succeeded, but they united
their opponents too, and the system upon
which they relied was swept away for ever
How little they really had to dread from
Northern interference thirty years ago, may
be gathered from the following Renaissance
OF the Portland of that day, which we find in
the Oxford Democrat:
The anti slavery men in their early history
were subjected to the grossest indignities-
they were hunted down like wild beasts their
meetings broken up by lawless drunken mobs,
and that, too, in law loving and law abiding
New England. We well remember that in 1887
we happened to be in Portland, and out OF Gu
riosity we stepped into the city hall, where the
citizens of Portland were holding . pub
lie meeting, to consider whether the hall should
be used for an abolition lecture; when it was
voted almost unanimously that they should
not have the same. That evening, the lectur-
er attempted to speak in the old a. 0aaAer hr
Westinghouse, at a meeting preside1 ot1n .,;E
Gen Fessenden. The house was peieeu M mltn
stones and brickbats from without Dreaknng
| the windows. and defacing the house. The
SNEAKER had hardly commenced before
tba ,noh broke open the door, ana rush
sd in bowling like mad men,
Rottan eggs were plentifuliy hurled at the
suaakar. and q large stone thrown with great
| sioiance. came within hairs breadth of
str;Eing Cen Fessenden in the head The
meeting was broken up, and the lecturer es-
capped only with his life, going out between
| two ladies', his coat stripped from his back,
| with the addition of several wounds and
bruises upon his person. And what was his
offence? Merely attempting to speak upon
the effects of slavery upon the free laborers OF
the North. -.
And to the disgrace of Portland be it said
that there was only one newspaper press IN the
city at that time that had the courage to come
/ out and speak in terms of manly censure OF
/ their atrocious proceedings, and that was The
American, then edited by Benjamin Kings.

IL is surprising to find that tbs old fashion,
ed way OF teaching was adopted nv Prof An
lhon, man whose success in instructing
youth was almost without parallel A cor
respondent of the Syracuse Jour. al SAYS:
In the learned world he will be missed and
lamented, but perhaps no man. who for so
many years occupied so high place among
scholars, and whose name is so familiar through
the country, could die and be less regretted,
socially, than DR.. Anthem. He was quite as
remarkable for his aversion for society as for
his scholarship. He never married. Two Sis
ters, also unmarried, kept house for him; but
such was the ineompatbility OF temper between
them that the Professor had separate table
set for himself He hated men and he hated
women, but he loved boys-after apedaaogue's
fashion. He had a singular way OF unbeDding
IN the classroom. There he was always geni-
III, kindly, and at times even jovial; but out OF
tle classroom he was always a bear. He
nogged his boys numerically, and often
unIustly. He was accustomed to stand
at the foot Of the stairway as the
boys flied down to recitation, regarding them
with the grim precision of a drill-serpeant
Catching the eye OF this and the other lad he
would motion him to leave the procession and
retire to a secluded room. The victims obeyed
with true forcbodings of what was coming In
a few minutes the Professor would appear,
rattan in hand, and, beginning with the near
est boy, would 20 through the whole lot, ask
ing no questions till the fiogging was over,
when he would give the victim a chance 10
justify himself. OF course he often punished
boys without the shadow of pretext, but then
he would say encouragingly, "Well, never
miud; you didn't deserve il this time ii is true
Set it down for some time when you do deserve
it and escape detection" In this way he did
substantial service to each boy. At one time
h, hnd bupIr cd Uur nil La irh aeho
and it is said that he gave them all several
tastes of the rod in the course OF the year.
Notwithstanding his severity his pupils low
ed him. He was considered the most thorough
trainer of boys that ever taught in this coun-
try, and if his pupils got fioggiug they also got
real culture. They appreciate this now that
he is gone, and are ready to forget his severi-
ty and occasional injustice, ami to remember
only the sincerity, skill and fidelity with which
he fulfilled the duties OF his profession. sra.

the threatening them with Fort Lafayette il

ing Of the negroes sand many other things,
that were fright vi obstacles in the way. But
Smart was equal to the occasion. He deter
mined to turn Johnny Hook, and shout beef!
beef! For this purpose he started the Bond
Taxer, and his shouts of beet! beefl ring
through its columns every week. He intend
ed by a bold push and early effort in shouting
beef! beef! to forestall the market and take
the democratic party by storm, but his pill
grimage to Portland for that purpose was a
failure. Rice, Reed, Buxton & Co. gagged
him so that he boiled over with rage and told

ENDORSES THE JOHNSON POLICY.

Last year when President Johnson's policy
looked very promising, Smart concluded it
was time for him to come forth from among
the Ndead men," take stock in the "bread and
butter" company, and complete the circle.
Accordingly he wrote letter which was pub
lished in the Bangor Times, declal ing that
he was in favor of Mr.. JohDsons programme,
and would support it. His letter fell still
born; it excited no attention anywhere. The
government rolled on without any percepti-
Bile shock, the Union party preserved its
equanimity, the gold market in New York
was as calm as the surface OF lake in
summer morning, and hucklebeTies, string
beans and haddock sold in Camden and all
along shore at the usual prices. Smart had
completed the circle. t
The Portland daily press., 1867-08-12

Through the most of the summer Of 1862,
Smart maintained a position a little in ad-
vance of the most radical OF the radicals, and
plumed himself largely on being the first to
advocate arming the negroes. But when the
Knox county convention was held, in Au-
gusta, that body was so unmindtul Of the dis
tinguished services OF Smart in his celebrated
raid upon Freedom, and his efforts in the Sem
ate to arm the negroes and establish himself
in Texas with couple of colored girls to feed
him on rice, as to give him the cold shoulder
and refuse him denomination for senator.
From this point Ephraim began slowly to re-
volve around the circle in copperhead diec-
ton. l-LlLH ~ !. N----.-
The Portland daily press., 1867-08-12

In 1864, when the most Of loyal men felt
that The fate of the nation depended upon the
election of Mr.. Lincoln as President, Smart
found himself exactly in equilibrium between
the two great parties-just at the halfway
point in his course around the circle-and un-
able to bestow his affections and vote upon
either of the candidates. According to his
own declaration, he did not vote that year
for President. 1t so happened that Mr.. Lin
coin was elected in spite of the disaHection Of
the man who led offin arming the negroes,
and the country was saved without any OF his
assistance. The measures which he had ad-
vocated and sustained were represented in
Mr.. Lincoln; but he was swinging around
the circle on his return to the copperheads,
and could not afford to vote, as it might pre-
vent him from completing the circle in time
for the Presidential election of 1885,
