G
An Outraira ou the Christian UellKu
Wrom the N. Y. Independent, .
It is the glory of CurisVianity that it stoop3
to tbo lowly. The proud exalt the proud.
Tho great flatter the great. " The strong make
fellowship with the strong. The rich rank
themselves with the rich. Pat Jesus Christ
was the Messiah of the poor. Horn in a
manger, he made the lowliest roof sacred. The
ion of a carpenter, he made the commonest
calling honorable. Having not where to lay
his head, he took. from poverty its disgrace.
Condescending to men o'' low estate, he made
pride of rank forever dspicable. Lifted up
that he niigbt draw all men unto him, he
thereby invested human nature with a dignity
which forbids the Ftrong man to oppress the
weak, forbids society to divide itself into
castes, and forbids the Government to outrage
its citizens.
In contravention of the Christian religion,
the 1'resident of the United States has once
again set his heel on the necks of the lowly.
His late Message is the greatest affront to the
Christian spirit of the age which has been
given by any Presidential manifesto since the
iniquitous days of the Fugitive Slave law.
With scorn and indiguation, with sorrow and
shame, we have read the dull, stony, and
cruel argument which the Chief Magistrate of
a Christian republic has pointed against a
class of citizens whom he ought to exalt
rather thsn to degrade, and whom he ought
to clap with the hand of fellowship rather
than to smite with the gauntlet of soorn.
This state-paper is without parallel and with
out excuse. It is out of harmony with the
Christian era. It is three hundred centuries
old. It is the product of a 1'agan brain. 15y
the side of the Roman Emperor who kept in
his girdle a bodkin to pierce flies, let us place
an American President who keeps in his ink
stand a pen to stab negroes.
This new document from the Whited Se
pulchre is filled with dead men's bones. It
crushes at a stroke not merely a multitude,
hut a race of victims. It rolls, like Jugger
naut, over the rights of one-sixth portion of
the American people. It relights the dying
fires of that martyrdom which the negro race
on this continent Buffered for generations, aud
ought to suffer no more. It begins again the
persecutions which all mankind lately sup
posed were drawing to an end. Not even
Horatio Seymour, were he Governor, nor Fer
nando Wood, were he Mayor, would have
writteD, at this late day, a message so bitter
in its accusations aguinst the most docile
race in the Republic The man who promised
the bliick-fnced millions of his fellow-countrymen
that he was to be their Moses; the man
who wrote to Governor Sharkey that all
negroes who could read and write ought to
rote; the man who said to Major Stearns that
negro suffrage ought to be promoted in Ten
nessee; the man who assured the black regi
ment that this Government was not to be for
white men alone this man, forgetting his
pledges, forgetting bis duty, forgetting his
Lord, and forgetting the Judgment Day, has
shocked his own nation, and astonished man
kind, by putting forth, under the solemn seal
of the Executive Department, an official re
utterance, in the ye:ir 1SU7, of the satanic
slanders against the negro which disgraced
the year lisiO'.
Daring the peril of the republic, the negro
was a loyalist; his master a traitor. The
negro was the nation's defender; his master its
assassin. The negro succored Union prison
ers; his master starved them to death. Yet
now, after this history, the President pro
poses to deliver the ne;ro, bound hand and
foot, to his master ! He argues that black
loyalists should have no political rights, aud
white Rebels no political disabilities. He asks
for the repeal of all that Congress has done
towards reconstruction, in order that Southern
whites may immediately be reinstated over
Southern blacks. He declares that impartial
suffrage is worse than military despotism. He
intimates that black men are unlit, not only
to share political power with their white
irethren, hut even to govern themselves. He
believes that foreign immigrants should have
more privileges than native-born citizens. He
insists that no peril has ever yet hefalleu the
republic equal to the peril which will ensue
. from what he calls Africanizing one-half the
country. lie maintains that what is stigma
tized as negro supremacy in the South will
cost two hundred million dollars a year. He
concludes that the ballot in the negro's hand
will paralyze all the mercantile business south
cf Mason and Dixon's obliterated line.
Snh an argument as the President Lis
uttered against the negro could fall from the
lips of no man under the Bun except a Southern
"mean white." The only human being who
has ever been able to shake our faith in the
quality of mankind is the Southern "mean
white." from any other President ever to be
hosen out of this same class, "Good Lord,
deliver us 1"
How strangely the President's Message falls
upon the ears of thoughtful Europeans 1 One
President of the United States issues a procla
mation emancipating the slaves; and his suc
cessor writes a message asking practieally for
their rendition to slavery. How the beginning
of 18C3 puts to shame the end of 1867 1 How
the silent sepulchre at Springfield rebukes the
habbling Executive at Washington 1
Spiritual wickedness prevails In high places.
"What is the remedy I Spiritual purity must
prevail all the more in other places. When
the Government is base, the people must be
noble. When the State is false, the Church
must be faithful. The Christian conscience of
this nation ought to be so sensitive that such
a Message from the President would sting
twenty million loyalists to indignation, and
ost its author Lis immediate impeachment.
The Christian religion ought to prevail
among the people to such a degree that a
Chief Magistrate who would Bpeak against
the just rights of the weakest citizen would
raise as great a tempest about his head as if
he had publicly assailed the Thirty-nine Arti
cles. A nation that quietly looks on while
its ruler tramples a negro shall be one day
trampled itself.
The venerable Rev. Dr. Cutler, of Urooklyn,
on his death-bed, said to his friend the Kev.
Dr. iyng , who Bat at his bedside, "I feel like
taking by the hand the meanest beggar that
walks the earth, if B0 be I may stand his equal
in the kmgdom of heaven ! How the temper
of the dying samt contrasts with the temper
of the living President ! And how, in view of
the eternal bar, all human distinctions disap
pear I How, before Him who is no rnoui.
of persons, both the white skin and the black
lose their difference of pride ! How, judging
by a true Christian test, the mind revolts at a
tyrant who would use his "brief hour of au
thority" for setting his foot even on a Blavo i
This nation needs to be rebaptized hi the
fountain of political equality. To this end,
the Lord's Gospel must be more fervently pro
claimed. The Christian pulpit must repreach
St. Paul's Berinon on the one blood of which
God hath made all nations of men. Citizen
who love liberty must kindle anew its altar
11 am ft a in their brt-asts. Christian lips nmst
teach themselves to say, "Who is offoudediiid
I burn not if"
We want to pee tyranvy swept out of the
land I We want to Bee the civil and political
a
riclils of all American citizens established on
a rock of adamant. V waut to se all sec
tions and classes brought into national har
mony and nnlty. We want to see justice done

and black. V want to see the Christian reli
gion victorious over men's pride of birth and

,Ltrd thonght worthy of redeeming at so high

no class down, Lut all- classes np. We want
to live under a Government which fears God
and reppeotB its citizens. ; We want to ae an
nwening Church leading the sluggish State.
We want to hear the echoes of thirty thousand
pulpits, proclaiming with an eloquence here
tofore unheard by the ears of this generation,
the inherent and ineradicable equality.nobitity,
and immortality of all mankind 1 Oh, for a
baptism of lire I - -
A Hard Hit.
J'Yf.m the A. Y. Independent,
A friend showed us his hook of autographs,
the other day, in which, on the same page,
were a sentiment y Professor Morse, the in
ventor of the telegraph, and a contradictory
sentiment by the Kev. Dr. Cheever, who is
LirxiBelf an electric battery.
Professor Morse wrote:
"Man's fundamental proneness to evil in
volves the idea of government as a necessity,
and government involves slavery, wbich is but
a form of government, haviDg no intrinsic
moral character, and hence does not neces
sarily involve the idea of sin. The great and
wide-spread error on this point is the prolitio
source of our present national troubles.
"Samukl F. li. Morse.
"New Yoik, Fob. 27, 1861."
Directly under the above, Dr. Cheever wrote
the following:
"Slavery is man-stealing, the making mer
chandise of man, a crime condemned of God
in the penalty of death. Slavery is the most
extreme and impious perversion of govern
ment, from the nature and purpose with which
God hath ordained it for man's good, to an
instrument of the greatest wickedness and
cruelty. Hut, if friend Morse admires it, we
should like to have his theory of government
tried upon himself. Experience might en
lighten and rectify his opinion as to its benefi
cial effect upon others.
"George B. Cheever.
"Washington City, Feb. 18, 1SC2."
It strikes us that in the above tournament
the reverend doctor gave the scientific pro
fessor something of a galvanic shosk.
