THE co WARDLl CIICRCIIlILV.


Prom Becc'er's lecture, ''Thc Reign
Of the Common People.''
Up to Il late period they were afraid
to pat u Niger III Il picture. Why
should not they, as in that magnificent
work, 'Christus Consolatus,' where
among all the wretchel, the bereaycd,
the widow and the orphan, and the
sinner. there was one poor colored slave
with shackled hands, petitoning his
liberty, and the bishop of New Jersey
had that cut out in order that he might
pat the plate, without offence, into his
prtycr-book: and have a copy of that
prayer-hook, and keep it as a memo
rial OF the degeneracy Of the feelings
of men. Why the Bible Society didn't
dare to send tracts to slaves, and the
great publishing lo Uses Of New York
and Boston didn't dare to put the Dec
laration of Independence nor amy Of
those heart stirring periods Of the old
Columbian orators into their school
books. and the whole literary North
sltccumhpd to the South; they were
afraid to have anything in it that STIR
red the South; and then as they had
been mostly the patrons and henef;,c-
tors of artists there was this death,
and the young school Of artists had not
come up yet.
