Do you know of Dr. A. T. Bledsoe,
native of Virginia, | think? Have
you ever read anything from his pen?
Did you ever see his little volume en-
titled rs Jeff Davis Traitor: Or
Was Secession a Constitutional Right
Prior to the War;" Do you know OF
his very able large work entitled
"Theodicy"? If not let me essay to
enlighten you little. Albert Taylor
HIedsoe was at one time Professor OF
Mathematics in the University of Vir-
ginia. After the war he became editor
Of the Southern Review" a quarter
~ first published in Baltimore and
later in Nashville, Tenn. His great
theological volume takes the Armin-
ian view instead Of the Calvinian. He
WAS a Methodist, and has been dead
for many years. He was a very able
thinker and L doubt if he had SUI
perior on the American Continent
when his life closed. In theology ii
is doubtful if he has had a superior
since Jonathan Edwards the great
New England Calvinist. OF course this
would be gainsaid at once by Calvin
lists, and they can point to extraordi-
nary polemicS in the two Hodges, in
r. l.. Dabney, in several others of the
Presbyterian faith. They may equal
or surpass Bledsoe, but l doubt
may have over-estimated the merits
of his theological discussions, but l do
not believe 1 eXaggerate the excel
lcnce and ability of another book by
him designated at the start. 1t is an
invincible, most logical and conclusive
argument for the right to secede prior
to the war. 1t is most remarkable
political discussion. 1t is calm, highly
intellectual, acute, Self-poised, thor
oughly informed, with great earnest
markable political publication and
most conclusive argument which dis
tinguisheS the political literature OF
our country DR.. Bledsoe WILDE adj
mitted to be a most vigorous, logical,
lucid writer by any candid, capable
mind that reads his volume attentive
~. His work was necessary when it
appeared in 1866, and it is necessary
now, for it is a complete, unanswer-
able defense of the South and its great
cause and contention. He does not
attempt to urge secession after the
wars results, but to establish that it
WAS q great constitutional right pre-
vious to the beginning of the war in
1861. Colonel w. J. Green, of Fay
ettevilIe, told me that when he visited
that able brave, noble Southron, Presi-
dent jefferson Davis. of the Southern
Confederacy, at his home at Bauvor
a year or two before his death, the
statesman, orator and patriot said to
him that DIR. Bledsoe's work was the
ablest of all that had been written in
defence of the South's attitude and
conduct. There is no doubt of the
correctness and sanity of President
Davis's judgment. here. 1t appears to
me to be a demonstration, absolute
and perfect, of the question. He does
not accomplish this by heated decla-
nation! by rhetorical effect by ingen-
ious and subtle logic, or by eloquent
appeals to the passions; but he reach
es his end by the processes of calm
deliberate perspicuous, cumulative
overwhelming and unanswerable reas-
oning. There is no lodging his con-
illusions simply because there is no de-

The men who are responsible for
making it possible that such fellow
of the baser sort should become
President of the greatest Republic IL,
modern times, will have a great sin
to answer for at the General AsslZe.
This poor excuse for the Chlet EHecu-
tive, in common with so very many OF
the Northern people, including edl-
tors, politicians, teachers, preachers,
has spoken in ridicule and disparage-
ment of the eminent President of. the
Southern COnfederacy. That pure,
honest very able native of the South
has been grossly slandered, abused,
villifed. While he was not perhaps
the wisest man of the South, he meant
we'll He failed at some points that
could be stated. and he admitted 1T,
but he was true man, IL refined gem
tleman, an able executive, and of
high courage He was a member of
the Episcopal church. and was loyal
to his people. Roosevelt wrote OF MI.
Davis that he was a traitor with Bene-
dict Arnold and Aaron Burr. He WAS
so little of a traitor that the United
states Government dared not to put
him on trial as such. The greatest
lawyer in the North then, Charles
O'Connor as I have mentioned above,
when consulted as to this point, told
the fellows that the United States
would have no case in court. Roose-
Welt accused Davis of favoring the re-
pudiation of Mississippi debts while
he was Governor This is untrue, and
like other charges against the upright
and honest gentleman, had no founda-
ton in fact. Mr.. Davis opposed re-
pudiation and was not Governor as
reported when reputation occurred.
Mr. Davis won distinction in the
Mexican war, and at Buena Vista. He
made an exceptionally able and ef-
ficient Secretary of War afterwards,
and was particularly lauded by wen
known Northern writer and personal
friend of Abe Lincoln a few years ago
in Northern magazine. He was an
able. influential United States Senator
ranking high as a speaker. There
were not many public men who could
have filled the place of President of
the Confeteracy as we'll as he did.
He had some very bad councillors, the
worst being General Bragg, a North
Carolinian, and he made serious mis-
takes in some of the Generals he APP
pointed, and in ignoring better men.
For a long time that magnificent SOL
der General Bedford Forest suffered
from Bragg's evil influence with Davis
against him. But Mr.. Davis was a
patriot, a statesman, a man of good
intentions and a kindly true man all
the time. He saw his error as to
General Forrest and when too late to
prevent evil growing out of it, sought
to correct it by recognizing FORESTS

saw it mentioned in Il leading New
York publication a few months ago
that the actual total of works pub
lished in Germany in 1898, was some
10000 as l recall it, One writer in
one of the German Reviews said that
if all the books written in 1908, OF
all kinds had been published, 1T
would have amounted to 10000. 1t is
enormous. The multiplication of
writer's is enormous, and everywhere.
| suppose in North Carolina there are
twenty writer's of more or less gifts

in 1850. The good thing about it is
that so many of them are intelligent

with which the fountain pen was
