disgrace and punishment they could find
to infict upon JEFF Davis was to take
away his privilege Of voting; that is,
they classed him with us women and
put poor JEFF up among the angels,
never to vote any more. The one, lone,
angelic man. how could he stand it
ANfriend of mine was asked by one Of
the great men of the South, do you
know what it was that done more than
all else to defeat US. What really in
stigated the OWL War and gave freedom
to the negro?"
1t was "Uncle Toms Cabin"
The next step toward clarifying the
negro was taken when they gave him
the right to vote. He did not ask for this
privilege. and did not want it.
But. when Harriet Beecher Stowe,
the authoress of "Uncle Toms CABIN
which was one of the direct causes lead
ing to the freedom of the negro; this
woman who had sat quietly at home
and with her pen influenced 9 greater
power than all the rifles aud sabres out
on the field of carnage and of death,
confirmatory of the old adage that,
"The pen is miahtier than the sword"
When Harriet Beecher Stowe asked TO.
the same privilege you had given the
negro. you answered no." and sent
JEFF Davis as a consolation.
Oh! woman where has flown thy power,
Held back by him, who more should love
thee.
Wilt thou in peaceful bondage bide.
Whilst Africa's sons are raised above thee.
II the calm. cool, level headed men of
to-day will but consider both sides of
the useless arguments. &C often used
against us, I am sure they cannot but
admit that most of them are without
reason and have but a poor foundation
to stand upon.
