BLACKS LETTER TO GARFIELD.
On another page we publish copious
extracts from a letter which Judge
Black has written in reply to speech
of Senator Garfield, on various matters
connected with the issues of the day,
but especially upon the record of the
abolition party in reference to secession.
They we'll demand attentive study for
they restore to light a phase in Amer
lean history which Radical orators I'M
blushingly ignore, and which even
Democratic speakers and writers seem
to have forgotten. While, however,
the responsibility of the Abolitionists
for the late war is fact never to be
forgotten, we here enter our protest
against the present Radical party being
accredited with any of the merits of
the original abolitionists. That these
men were fanatical, bigoted, wrong
headed, oue-sided men, no one doubt
ed at the time. That they desired
frst-disunion, and then war as g
means of carrying out their purposes
is an established fact, which no one
will dispute in the presence of we'll in
formed men. But the original abolition
lists were honest men. The influential
men of modern radicalism, Grant,
Butler, Morton, never belonged to
them, but are wolves which have
climbed into the sheep-fold after the
guardian dogs were dead. Garrison,
Greedy, Sumner, all the nOblest Of that
band were at issue with the present
Radical party before they died, and
one after another the deceut members
of the party are abandoning the rotten
earcase which now calls itself Repub-
lican, appropriating the name while
it has abandoned the principles.
Julian, Trumbull, Blair, have re-
nounced it, but the following list shows
how all the true life of Republicanism
has departed from what by hollow
mockery still calls itself the Repub-
lican party. tits reprinted from the
New York World, and copious as it is
