Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1874-08-04

ALEX ST. CLAIR ABRAMS, editor of
the atlanta Nelcs, ayoung but vigorous
journal, has got into a row with the
Herald, with which he was formerly
connected. He asserts that the Herald
has revived a Islander against him,
charging that he wrote and had pub
ished In 1871 a favorable sketch of
Foster Blodgett's life, and denounces
it as a "damnable and internal lie. "
Abrams is old enough and has the
name of being daring enough to use
such language and take the ccnse-
quences; but does it not look a little
queer that the Nelcs, which has not yet
lived through its first moon, should be
giving vent to its infantile passions in
such vigorous language?

owners and captains do wrong, they are
amenable to the laws, and should be
punished.
British statesmen and business men
of all classes understand how easy 1t is
to render government odious and
"thing of public contempt" All hon.
est, intelligent Republicans acknowl-
edge that, with the kind assistance of
500 900 negro voters and legislators,
their party has brought the United
States Government into this condition
Placed in the hands of ex-slaves, the
shin of State can hardly be
expected TO sail into a safe harbor.
Before this black crew were shipped
they should have had more experience
as seamen. Negroes themselves may
vet learn the value of experience. In
Virginia and other old British colonies
the white race have had the experience
of nearly three hundred years in local
self government. 1t is absurd to say
th.t long experience of this kind gives
no special advantages. As citizens
and freedmen the colored race needs
the benefits of this superior wisdom,
uncontaminated with any thing that
breeds contempt
The two races are at sea in one ship,
and their interests require that tie
best sailors should be officers in COM
mand. To make these places of trust,
confidence and authority. the rewards
of personal or partisan favors, is to
leopard the safety of all, and betray
a lamentable want of common sense in
both whites and blacks.
