New England Puritanism--Its Latest
Manifestations,

G We cannot say that this latest By
e ron scandal, which was women, an
+ that woman Beecber, for its author
! has absolutely startled the world, bu
/ we can and do say that Mrs. Beecbe
Stowe meant to give the world sen
sation and that she has not been s.
} successful as she intended and believe,
she should be. No matter. The at
I tempt has been made. If the rakin,
up Of the ashes Of the dead aud tn
} villifying Of great names have brough
money into the Golfers of Fields
Osgood and into the pocket of Mrs
} Beecher Stowe we have every reasol
to believe that they will be satisfied
! Like the Pharisees OF old they hnv,
done their work aud they have bas
their reward
We have no desire at present to u
into this dirty business. We canno
say there is blood on the hands o
either Mrs. Stowe or the proprietor
of tho atlantic Monthly; but IL ther,
is anything worse than murder It is
according to the common judgment o
mankind in all ages, TO disturb th,
dead or to villify their memory, anC
of such sin or sins Mrs Stowe and th,
nroprietors of tho Atlantic Wont5I,
have been guilty. Byron may have
been as bad ms Mrs Stowe makes him
but she has failed 10 prove il. This
however, is not the main point. She
bas unmercifnllv. and without good
reason. unless money he n good reason
done piece of work which is as tilthy
as anv work can lao n /, novs Mr.

We think unkindiy of Spain because
of the Inauisilion. We have reasons
of a similar kind to think unkindlv of
the New Enrlanders. If we lave
inherited good from them we ought
TO be grateful; but we have a perfect
,ight TO ask whether our Indebtedness
would not have been greater if their
principles and their poIicy had been
nobler wiser nnd less sclfshY
