proposed Beecher Memorial hall to
be erected on the Plymouth church
property at Brooklyn.
The memorial building is To con-
tain great many relics of slavery,
the principle purpose of which is to
show the righteousness of the Insti-
tuition and incidentally to reflect
upon the morality of the southern
people.
And yet slavery ex listed i'm all ages
Of the world and in all countries of
the world and perhaps was less rigor-
Gus in the sou h than in any other
country in which it existed.
The Jews had the right to exercise
the penalty of death upon their
slaves and in Rome, during its polite st
age, slave holders, when displessed
with their slaves sometimes flung
them into the fish ponds to feed their
lampreys and the morals of that cul-
tured people were not shocked at
their conduct.
The system of slavery in the south
was of such a humane aud civilizing
character that the advocates of aboli-
ton, after abolition became al ac-
complished fact, favored placing the
suffrage in the hands of the enamel
pated freedmen, contending that they
were intelligent enough to share the
burdens of government, thus paying
the very highest tribute to the slave
owners Of the south.
I'm no other section OF the globe
where slavery has existed. does the
negro seem capable of self govern
meni.
For instance, SenatorMouey IN his
late speech i'm the United States SEN
ate ON the race question cites Haiti as
an example.
1t il the finest spot in the world. 1t
contains the most fertile soil The
mountains are verdure clad. Coffee
grows indigenously and sugar cane
grows without cultivation.
Senator Money says that although
inhabitating such productive isle. the
negro has gone back to u barharis'n
worse than the Sudan. The only
holiday Instituted on the island was
in honor of Dessalines, the murderer
and assassain of thousands of his fell
low negroes, and none o: the inhahi-
tauts there seem to know anything
about Toussaint rOverture.
The history OF Jamaica, San Dom
lingo and other islands of the sea in
habited 10y the negro, tell the same
story.
The negro here in the southern states
has made the best record Of his race.
And this of itself speaks volumes in
praise of his treatment 10y the white
people.
| 1t il also n matter of record that
South Carolina, Virginia aud Other
southern states were the first to raise
their voice against the slave traffi,
and it was Jefferson who first propos
ed the abolition of slavery.

opportunity for real service to the
state. You will not forget the dread
q: our people Of debt and their oppo-
stem to excessive taxation, nor will
yoa fail to appreciate the great under
takings which the State has entered
upon and the larger future for which
we ali so earnestly hope. Money wise
ly and prudent!y expended now in be-
half OF these things which tend to de-
1elop the State will prove a beneficial

overlooked nor should parsimony in
the expenditure of money for our
larger growth hinder ocr development.
There is but one way only to serve the

Here is point we'll taken from

Pension agents arc now searching
for that class Of Confederate sold
iers who deserted their colors dur
ing the war and joined the Union
army. They are entitled to pen
sions, it seems. 1t is claimed there
were several regiments of these
galvanized yankees" as we re-
member hearing them called at the
time. To our way Of thinking the
granting of pensions to these fellows
is placing a premium upon perIids
and cast stigma upon the honor of
the brave soldiers of both armies.
Public opinion everywhere respects
the Confederate soldier, and the
crippled veteran OF the gray is an
object of tender soIicitude wherever
he goes. But the deserter is an OBJ
ject of contempt, and has no place
among those whose loyalty and de-
votion TO duty mark them for the
special consideration Of the govern
ment.
