THE POWER OF THE CANAL RING


We shall endeavor this morning to show the
nature of the power of the Canal Ring, and
some of the modes in which it is exercised.
No man who has had the slightest practical
acquaintance with the politics of this State
can have failed to notice the presence at DO
litical conventions and other gatherings, of
such conspicuous leaders and wire pullers as
the Lords, Beldens, Denisons, and several
other canal contractors whom we need not
mention in this place. If the observer has
something more than a superficial knowledge
of the political machinery he will have OBJ
served that the great leaders of the Canal
Ring are attended on these occasions by a
numerous body of shrewd and active retain
ers, and he Will also know that these same
contractors and their retinue, albeit of some
what unsayory reputation where they live,
constitute a powerful, united, and in many
respects controlling force in the political
organizations to which they respectively be-
long.
Some day in August or September next the
great parties of this State will assemble TO
nominate candidates for Secretary of State.
Controller, Treasurer, State Engineer. Attor-
neyG General, Canal Commissioner, and Prison
Inspector, In all seven offices. OF these seven.
the incumbents of all but the last become
er-oGicio members of the Canal Board which,
under the Ring, is the source of all canal
patronage. When the Convention meets, and
long before the date of its assembling is
named, the efforts of the great manipuators
OF the Ring are directed toward secur-
ing the nomination of their favorites
for as many as possible of these Offices. The
Commissioner and State Engineer they rarely
fail to secure. Jarvis Lord himself has been
twice candidate for Canal Commissioner for
the Western division, and pei haps would quite
as efficiently have administered tho office ns
the gentleman who was elected over him.
The Controller is almost invariably beyond
their reach. but the chances are that some

THE ANTESLAVERY STORY.

We have received notice that "thc Penn
" syvania Society for Promoting the Adolf
"tion of Slavery, and for the Relief of
Free Negroes unlawfully held in Bondage,
"and for Improving the Condition of the
"African Race will celebrate their Centen-
"nial Anniversary on the 18th day of April
"prox. in Philadelphia by reunion OF the
representatives of the cause in which they
"have been laboring." Nice-President Wilson
will preside. There is nothing in the quaint
wording of the little circular to indicate more
than quiet assemblage of the members of
any other local charitable society, yet it at
once suggests to the reader associations with
every vital change in the country-assOcia-
tons which every man among Us, perhaps,
regards with a certain degree of the passion
and prejudices which have scarcely cooled
since they deluged the land in blood. The
record of action of this Quaker society, to
which they advert so quietly, is more impOr-
tant, has touched deeper issues in the history
of humanity, than even the record of our
national growth in wealth and prosperity in
the century whose close we shall celebrate
next year.
If we could disabuse ourselves of personal
feeling in the matter, and look at it cOOly,
we should find in the story of the rise and fall
of Slavery in the United States the most dra
matte and sharply defined example in history OF
the conflict of moral sense and expediency and
the slow growth and triumph of an idea over
hard palpable facts. In this case the mills of
God certainly did grind exceeding slow. In
1920, Dutch man-of-war landed twenty ne
gro slaves in Virginia. More than a century
and half passed before any associated ac-
ton was taken against the mOAstIO4s crime,
which, in the meantime, had become national,
and that associated action was Only the meet
ing of n dozen men ut the sun tavern in
Philadelphia, on April IA, 1875. But the idea
was at work. The Society of Friends, at first
large slaveholders. gradually became con-
