ENTERTAINMENT AT THE HISTORICAL soCIETYs
ROOM LAST EvENING-IN1RREsTINd ADDRESSES
BYJ H. HoFFECKER JR ESQ, AND JOHN oBYRNE
ESQ
The entertainment at the Delaware Historical
Rooms last evening was a very interesting sooia-
ble and enjoyable affair. The rooms were filed
with an apprecative audience who paid the COM
pliment Of strict attention to the orators OF the
evening and we'll apparently delighted with the
splendid music furnished by Ritchie's Orchestra.
The audience, shortly after o'clock, was call
ed to order by the President, DR.. Askew, who
after the admirable performance of THE Poet
and Peasant" by the Orchestra, introduced II.
Hoffecker, DR., Esq, who addressed the audience
on the life and character of John NJ Clayton.
To the merits of the address, it is quite i'm
possible to do Justice by mere synopsis. 1t
was a concise, vigorous, and well-arranged
sketch of Mr. Olayton's career, and characteris.
tics containing much of eulogy, established upon
ground. Born with the Century the subject of
| the oration an ardent lover Of bis country,
| from his youth up. Poverty forced him to exer-
| tion. Graduating from Yale, at the early age of
1B, he appeared at the bar of Sussex county to
| win success in his first important case, and In
| ten years he stood upon the floor OF the United
| States Senate. In conclusion said Mr. Hofeck-
| er, it has been said that the truly great man
| never dies. The influence of the intellects of
Bacon, Newton, Franklin and Washington still lives
| in history and in the hearts of the people, and
with theirs il inscribed the name OF John NJ.
CLAYTON.
| After music by the orchestra the President
| introduced the second speaker of the evening,
John 0Byrne, Esq, who delivered very i'm
teresting address on Carthage"
Thereis nothing, said the speaker in the whole
| range OF history, that has caused such sad dis
4 appointment, as the almost total loss Of the ma
/ tive records of Carthage. There are many frag-
/ ments found along the fields Of Greek and Latin
i Literature, which tantalize us. but not enough
to satisfy our inquiries. All we know OF Car
thage is intensely interesting. Her beginning 10
a romance, her growth an epic, her constitution
when in full vgor, indicating the deepest rooted
/ love of liberty,
The turning point of oarthaginian power is
| where she takes to successful gambling, which
led to National avarice. and the love of gold.
The more Carthage hastened to grow rich, the
| more rapidly her institutions hastened to decay.
| Great public offices were brought, and monopo-
ly abroad became the instigator of monopoly al
| home.
Hannibal would have save ssved and restored
his country, had not the aristocracy OF Carthage
been bought with Roman gold. Hannibal fed
to save his life. Rome came second time, re-
solved to show no mercy, and Carthage ceased to
be.
The audience, having thus far been treated
to rare literary repast was now served, in a
plentiful manner, with ice cream and straw
berries which received due justice, after which
the meeting adjourned.

be deprived of the physiological advan-
tages of mortal life. But the vast ma
jority Of mothers cannot for many
coming generations be made to see and
understand this fact The ministers
would be as badly shocked over such
an idea as they are Mortified over abor-
ton. So we say to American fathers
everywhere, the responsibility of this
crime rests not with the mothers, but
with you. Forgetting, as you almost
invariably do, that your own selfish de-
sires should ever be held in allowance
to your wives behests, your often i'm
pose maternity upon them when,
could they but choose for themselves,
they would vastly prefer death; and
knowing this, how dare you chide them,
when in their ignorance, terror, suffer-
ing and desperation, they commit the
blacklist crime known in the physiologi-
cal catalogue?
III our brother Hatfield is really in
earnest about comforting with the peo-
pie concerning the prevention of this
terrible crime, let him call into the coun-
ell those most interested. The women
are the real arbiters in the case, and let
him insist that they shall tell their side
of the story. The principal cause of all
this crime is enforced maternity, and
the crime will never be abolished till
the cause ceases.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1873-01-03
ANTE-NATAL MURDER.

Rev. DIR. Hatfield, a Methodist Epis-
copal minister of Cincinnati, is creating
a sensation by calling attention to the
alarming prevalence of criminal abor-
ton among American women. He
calls upon the ministers to look the
evil squarely in the face and confer to-
gether for the best means to check the
evil and save American society and
American life from destruction.
Now, we call brother Hatfield's work
a step i'm the right direction. If moth
ers only knew the natural consequences
of abortion, as they are felt by their
helpless victims when ushered into i'm
mortal life before being clothed with
a well developed mortality, they would
stop awe-struck before committing the
awful act, and their own narrowing
dread of the pains and cares of mater
nifty would be always bourne, rather than
that their unweleome children should
