Now the historian and newspaper men
Of this generation cannot write intel.
ligsntIy or correctly of the events OF
ante-bel1um days, and It keeps the
old men busy In defending the state
and her people from misreprcsenta-
ton. Even our own children have to
be told over and over again how we
used to live and what was the true re-
relation Of southern masters to
their slaves. / remember when it
was the strongest incentive to good
behavior for master to tell his slave,
eff you don't behave better and do
better will turn you over to Niger
trader and he will take you off and sell
you"
Mr.. MCGEE told Mr.. Folsom that
the negroes cost them dollar or two
apiece in Congo-paid for in trinkets
and they sold them for $500 or x7Oo
apiece when they got them here. That
was a good profit if there is no blood
money to be counted in heaven-no
discount for murder by slow and hor-
rible degrees. There were some feat
ures of our own slavery system that
| sere bad enough and gave deep con-
Germ to all good citizens, but there
was nothing to be compared to this
| importation from Congo and our PRIDE
has been that only New England bar
barians engaged In it. The eminent
Judge Story once charged the grand
Jury in Boston that it was notorious
that Boston people were deeply en-
gagged in the slave trade and were
amassing fortunes out OF this biooc
money and it was a disgrace to their
civilization and must be stopped.
Next morning the newspapers Of
Boston lampooned him for that charge
and intimated that it was none OF his
business. Boston and New Bedford
continued it until 1S48, and when they
could sell no moro to the south they
sold them to Brazil and other coun
tries. These are the facts that hay'
been kept behind the scenes while
Harriet Beecher Stowe and Wendell
Phillips were engaged in denouncine
the south for defending slavery as
system. General Grant owned slaves
up to the very date of their freedom
and they built milliou-dollar monu
ment to him and sing his praises, bu
continue to abuse the south. What
curious people thoy are.
