e neighbors to the man who fell among thieves, and whose homes had been the asylum of the deeply wronged; morning hours devoted to patriotism, temperance, kindness to animals, love of plant life and current events; the campus here, the campus there; enclosed by the handsome iron fence; and, more important still, the endowment here, endowment there, to warrant salaries sufficient to tempt the highest class of instructors. Against all this, I put the following from the New York Nation, of March 25, 1869: We may well call attention of the philanthropist and Christian to Dr. Draper's estimate of the religious status of the Southern slave at the beginning of the war. He declares that, through the benevolent influence of the white women of the South, and not through the ecclesiastical agency was the Christianization of the African race accomplished; a conversion which was neither superficial nor nominal, but universal and complete; and the annals of modern history offer no parallel su

The press and pulpits of the North have joined to denounce Chief Justice Taney for deciding (as alleged) at December term, 1856, that the negro had no rights which the white man was bound to respect. It is the kind of candor one would evince who should claim the Bible says, there is no God; because the Bible does say, The fool hath said in his heart there is no God.

To the fifteen States of the South that government will appear an alien government. It will appear worse. It will appear a

he was not afraid nor ashamed to live and to die poor: The worthiest kings have ever loved least state. But could he appear once more on this earth, and could the old tests of elevation of mind and manners, purity of life, conviction and the courage of conviction, be again invoked, then of all his defamers there could not be found one worthy to so much as stoop down to unloose the latchet of his shoe. The era of low tariff. In 1846 the economic battle had been won so completely that in 1857 tariff burdens were still further reduced; Massachusetts voting with Virginia to this end. The leaders of both parties then joined in enacting the lowest revenue tariff which had been known since 1820. The result was an era of prosperity, not for a part, but for the whole. Dogma was put to rout by the event. The fallacy of hostile views was transfixed by the result. The retort to the prophecy of evil was the superlative satire of fact. Experience had been the great expounder. From the e
