VIRGINIANS ONLINCOLN.


In Richmond on Tuesday night Mr..
Joseph Bryan delivered lecture on
Pocahontas for the benefit of the So
ciety for the Preservation of Virginia
Antiquities. MIR. Bryan, during the war,
was one of Mosby's men. In the
course of his remarks, he said: What
ever merit belongs to those who, at
last, set the negroes free has been
idealized and personified by Abraham
Lincoln-a man who, in my opinion,
will continue to grow in the love and
admiration Of coming generations.
Those of US who remember our feelings
during the war must be astonished at
the change which has come over them
in regard to Mr.. Lincoln. His wisdom,
his sense of justice, his tenderness and
his irmness, his simple devotion to the
great cause in which his life was sacri-
feed, all bespeak for him, from impair
tial minds, high place among the
towering sons Of America. This Lin
coin, though born in Kentucky, was
the child of parents who were born in
Virginia of obscure families, and so, at
last, was reserved for Virginian in
blood, however obscure it was, to re-
ceiye applause for an act done in vic
lence and blood which Virginia, of the
noblest ancestry, nearly hundred
years before had striven to do in peace
and by law"
This statement by Mr.. Bryan has
stirred up DR.. w. W. Parker, who was
the major of Parker's Battery, one OF
most distinguished batteries in the
army of Northern Virginia. DR.. Park
er is out in card, in which he says
II can't take any stock in Mr.. Bryan's
laudations of Lincoln. No man in the
South at the time of the proclamation
had any idea that the object was other
than diabolical, and more the emana-
ton of the brain of Seward than Lin
coin. 1t was regarded commonly as q
military necessity. There was not an
atom of morality in it. No, verify. |
think l can prove, FIRST, that Lincoln
was not gentleman in the strict sense
of the term; second, that any idea that
he was Christian is absurd; third,
that he was no scholar, and fourth,
that he was q very smart, strong
minded, not malicious, but kind-heart-
ed man. To ascribe to him great,
broad, philanthropic motives is an in
suit to our understanding; to compare
him to Washington or Lee, is positive
y nauseating. Mr.. Bryan's attempt to
infuse greatness into him by the foul
current of Virginian blood was exceed
ingly lame, and, perhaps, demoraliz
ing"
