The New York Christin Advocate,
OF November 9Th, in connection with n
violent attack upon tho South, says:
ave (the Methodist L. Church)
which We have recently saved by
Methodist conscience aud Methodist
bayonets, now demands at our hands
another salvation by Methodist faith.
Born with the Republic, the Methodist
E. Church has become the guardian of
American liberties. ,., ..-..
"We claim the South because 1t Is
trampled by sin. (No sin In Now
YorkD Its coarse and bloody despot-
ton. While the Gullys 60 unhung,
and Dixon Is unavenged, (the other
day he said Ohio's vote had avenged
Dixon,) and Hamburg Butler has n
seat In the United States Senate, and
DIR. Blackburn, who fought women
aud children with small poX virus,
occupies Governors chair, and tho
hero of Fort Pillow, who buried pris-
oners alive, has a scat In Congress, the
crimes of this bloody land cannot be
hid"
DIR. Marshall laments tho course OF
the Northern Protestant cause, because
| It is working harm to tho cause Of
Professionalism In this country. Should
the worst come to the worst, "tho
South would accept anybody or any
| thing for the sake of peace, that did
not require 1t to abjuro manhood and
principle and laws and constitutions,
and the government as our fathers
gave 1t to u.s." 1t could not submit
itself to the Methodist Church North
as the National Church.
In spite of all these things the fannt-
les of the pulpit and the press claim to
be actuated by spirit of benevolonce
towards the South, and they speak of
their generosity to this section when IL
was plague-stricken. That generosity
was gratefully acknowledged In tho
South; but mon here reioiced most
because they hoped It betokened the
dawn of a new era of mutual respect
and confidence. That hope has been
disappointed. Everything we do Is
distorted; all our best efforts for tho
and religion, to peace and good will,
tare travestied and turned against us,
until tho Old World must regard us rs
. barbarians of the most vulgar, degraded
and shocking character.
. Tho Doctor concludes by arguing
that tho negro Is, and has been from
the first, the source of all our trouble,
and accordingly thanks Senator Win
dom and his coadjutors for the work
t which they have undertaken.
I, Had there been no colorcd men
I; South, war had never been dreamed
: of. Tho war cost moro than the price
t of the 1900, 900 slaves Mt $500 per head.
t More first-class young men perished In
l freeing tho slave than there were able
Q bodied cOlOred men in bondage.
d AS a voter the negro Is commercial
article, and white men condescend to
J.. grossly repulsivc inmiliaritics with
r him in order to secure his ballot, and
. thus the negro is not only not elevated
3 himself, but he brings tho miserable
f white man down to his own plane. As
= a juryman he Is tho reliance for nc
8 quittal In all murder cases, and nc
d when Africa rules the panel.
o Then, over all, stands tho roaring
n cataract-the sectional strife, the 'sac
n cursed South" "the murtlerous South,
l, and specially my own gallant State
\, Mississippi, sscutting Off tho arms q
g poor negroes - sschopping Off the hand
20 of returned refugees when not on
n pin has really scratched tho nebnlOu
" and undiscovered victims.
But one hope remains for the South
- Deliverance from the wards of Othc
and antagonistfc people.
