1t was not written in the book Of
fate that the Negroes who were held
in bondage by the men who had pre-
cipitated the war of rebellion upon
the question of the extension of hu-
man slavery, should take up arms
against the inen who were opposed to
that idea The paramount issue with
the North at that time was the pre-
servation of the Union. It could not
be preserved with slavery. for Mr..
Lincoln, although he had declared in
his first inaugural address that he
had no intention to interfere with the
Institution of slavery. believing that
he had no right to do SO. and again,
that III l can save the Union with
slavery | will do it: IL l can save it
without slavery. I will do II. later de-
clared: This nation cannot endure
half slave and half free" 1t was not
necessary that he make any specific
declaration on the subject of the abo-
lition of slavery. for he outlined his
real attitude on that subject in his
latter declaration in which he showed
the impossibility of the establish.
ment of a free government with hu-
man slavery as its chief cornerstone.
The swan song of Jefferson Davis. the
prophetic vision OF Judah p. Benja-
min. the keen and clear and penetrat-
ing insight of General Robert f. Lee,
who also was strongly in favor of the
enlistment of Negroes in the rebel
armies which he commanded. are now
all matters of history Had the white
South displayed as much wisdom at
the beginning of hostilities as 1t dis
covered when its star was setting and
its doom was inevitable, its humilia-
ton had not been so crushing 1t

but 1t feared to trust its destiny in
his hands until the last moment. and
then. like the proverbial drowning
man who catches at straw. ii sought
his aid. But ii was too late. The
North. seeing its weakness. its help
lessness. its despair impressed these
slaves into the Federal army and
with them crushed human slavery and
blotted out treason upon the altar
of human liberty. The same thing
had been done in the revolution. and
in 1872. and 1t will be done again
when the stress of war shall overtake
this nation. Only with this differ
ence: that the bulwarks of the nation

ton and other documents. They have
been duly considered by the govern

"First-That the government OF Ii
IBERIA will allow the Colorado-African
Colonization Company to select and
pre-empt the $4,000 acres of land de-
sired in any part of Liberia not in ac-
tual occupation of citizens.

the news that Rev. Alzamon l. Lucas

seems that Dr. Lucas has continued
there the teachings which he promul-
gated while here and they took ex-

then took sides, pro and anti-Lucas
parties. and interest is intense. At
present it appears that Rev. Lucas

On the one hand there is the consideration that
