A negro boy, named Smilh, suc

nminntion, nnd wns admitted to West
Point as a cadet. Imbibing the spirit
of his patrons, he resolved to show a
whilo eatlet that ho had no rights
which "CtifTee" was bound to respeel;
and accordingly ho dealt said whito
cadet n fierce blow with a lethal weap
on, tho mark of which ho will woar to
his grave If a white, cadet had com
mitted tho orlenco, a court martial
composed of tho officers of the instilu
(ion would havo been nt oneo con
vened, nnd tho offender would have
been suspended for ono or two ye nrs
without pay, if not, oxpellod. Only a
year ago, a cadet (white), for slapping
a fellow cadet in the face, was sns
pendod for a year. If a cadet is list
less on bis post as guard, bis punish
ment is to walk post for ten Satur
days, for nbout three hours each. If
a cadet indulges in profanity, his pun
ishment is six Saturdays' walk. One
unacquainted with the latter-day order
of things would naturally suppose
punishment commensurate wilh the
offence would overtake tho negro
scamp. Judge, then, of tho spirit of
tho rcformins negroplnlists, when it
appear that tho punishment awarded
"t'uffeo" for maiming a fellow-cadet
for life was to walk post six Satur
daysthe same precisely as would
hnvo overtaken a whito cadet who
had indulged in the weakness of pro
fane swearing ! Jiut this is not all.
A while cadet has a court mnrtinl,
composed of officers of the institution.
Xot so "ftiffee." Far above that
soars he. H has roiio beyond equal
ity. His court-martial must come
from Washington, and over it must
preside tho veriest knave and hypo
crite that ever sang a psalm none
other than O. O. Howard, of Freod
man's 1'urcau fragrance. Tho next
week a regular court-martial was con
vened to try while cadets, but it did
not suit tho Washington powers to
havo this precious ward of the nation
como beforo it. Only Howard and
his clan could try "Cuffee," and of
course they did what was appointed
for them to do. Tho negro was irtti
ally acquitted and thenegropbilists tri
umphed. Hero let us draw tho veil.
Tho point is proven. "Equality for
all" lias developed into the superiori
ty of tho :iegro. Nature's foible lias
been avenged. The wisdom of the
Creator is forced to yield lo the phil
anthropy of the creature. What Cod
litis pronounced inferior that mun
makes lord over all. Tho maxim as
perverted lias been reversed, and that
' a w hito man has no rights w hich a
negro is bound to respect," is proven
to tho satisfaction of the powers that
be, by Smith and his "dipper." Ef
frontery can wear no more brazen hue.
Outrago can assume no more wanton
shnpe. Self-degradation can don no
meaner gnisc.
Let us put our trust in the future,
with a cheerful faith that when man
betrays, timo will bo (he avenger, and,
ere tho goal, bring all things even.

at this press ; and during tho last year,
the third edition, 2, fun copies, of an

admirably cleetrolyped. I havo bo

In his reply lo tho Siicnkor's ad
dress in tho Parliament of James I,
the Lord Keeper said: "I will put
yon in mind of a story which Tally
relates out of Thiicydides. The The
bans, having overcome the Lacede
monians, in memory thereof erected a
brar.en . trophy. A complaint was
made before tho Amphiclyonic Coun
t il (hat by thnl trophy tho memory of
their civil discord was made eternal.
Their judgment was that it should
bo abolished, becauso it was not lil
ting that any record should remain of
discord between Greek and Greek."!
Tliero is n moral in this illustration I
of the qiipiiiit 4M- 1ord - Keeper that I
may be of practical uso in our times. I
.Statesmanship bits in ull agos depre
cated the keeping alive memories of i
civil animosities, or perpetuating the
glories won in civil ttrtlo. VI hen a
servilo and obsequious Senate, in or
der to flatter tlio Emperor Tiberius,
requested him to erect an altar of
vengeance commemorating the death
ofl'iso, who full in the civil strife,
thut monarch, (yrant though ha was,
replied that public monuments should
commemorate foreign conquests, not
domestic calamities.
When Ca-stir, after returning from
his victorious dispersion of tlio Senato
rial chiefs lit Tbuiii", and the over
throw of Cuto ut Utica, celebrated
his four triumphs, ho carefully avoid
ed till reference to w hat was the most
brilliant of ail bis achievements. In
Spuiu aud Thessuly he hud routed the
disciplined legions of his own coun
trymen; but, as bo well said, "their
defeat brought no accession of honor
or territory to the Itcpublic; the glo
ry reflected on victors in a triumph
over their ow n countrymen i but du
bious ai.d barren."
Is it not then timo for us, Chris
tian people, whose religion is based
upon forgiveness of injuries, lo show
that we cannot bo outdone in magna
nimity and generosity by tho heath
en: la it not time to bury in oblivion
tho traces of our civil wur, and grnp
pie to our hearts wilh hooks of steel,

were, havo been grievously atoned for!
Tliero lire grave and momentous
events agitating tho world, and amid
the struggles ol contending nationali
ties on the other side of the ocean,
and the complications and exaspera
tions of the hour, no one can tell how
soon this country may bo embroiled
in a foreign wur. When that hour
strikes, we want tho hearts of our
people to beat w ith but one response
lo tho call of patriotism nnd duty.
We w ant them to kindle unison again
as they did in those "bravo days of
old," when Massachusetts and South
Carolina went shoulder to shoulder
through tho Involution together
when tho blow struck at Lexington
lighted a watch fire at Baltimore,
waked the battle-cry of freedom at
Charleston, and sped on until a whole'
continent cried, -Liberty or death.
This is a spirit that a wise forecasting
statesmanship should study how lo
restore. It can never be regained by
reminding each other of the bitter an
tagonisms of our civil struggle. Jlath
et let us imitate tho wisdom and
magnanimity of the heathen states
men and soldiers, who regarded civil
strife ns a national calamity, and
thought it not filling that any memo

ter lo a temporary excitement. We
hear of so many slain and so many
wounded with tho vague notion of an
immenso loss of life. liul how slightly
is tho fearful significance of these facte)
impressed upon our minds'. Imagina
tion vainly attempts to get sin ade
quate conception of the scene, in
which several hundred thousands of
human beings nre striving together
with the fury of demons, frantic with
passion, drunk with blood, madly seek
ing each other's lives, employing every
art of slrutcgy, using every invention
of modern warfare, exhausting the
resources of diabolical ingenuity, to
destroy each his brother man, posses
sed of the same passions und affections,
hopes and desires, created in the sumo
divine image, and the heir of the saliio
immortal destiny.
In every virtuous nnd well regula

sustained by their sympathy and bles
sing, to have somo time lo prepare for
iho inevitable change, to be ul peace
with all the world, and have the spirit
wafted to heaven on the breath of

Oh ! if tho spirits of tho jnst made

from tho peaceful heaven upon the

compassion must they behold the field
of carnage, where betacotnbs of human
lives are sacrificed to the Moloch of
war. and with what sentiment of
righteous indignation towards its
molly authors must the benignant
Parent of us all contemplate the
slaughter of His children!
We take the progress of society, of
the enlightenment of the age, of the
power of public sentiment, of the gen
eral diffusion of ihe principles of trulb
and justice; but a sad commentary
upon till that is war. And w bat a
melancholy picture does il present of
human folly, and madness, and deprav

eighteen centuries, tho proclamation
by the divine man of Nazarith, of
"peace on earlu and good will to
men," lias been sounding through the
worlJ, and yet, all nations, calling
themselves Christian and civilized,
can find no oilier mode of settling
their grievances but by a resort lo the
inhuman nnd barbarons custom of
war, is almost enough lo make us
despair of the destinies of humanity.
We ttike not into account the immense
cost of war, the fearful expenditure
of treasury, tho interruption of indus
try, the prostration of commerce and
tho peaceful ails, and the enormous
drain upon a nation's resources, bich
it involves. Wo look only upon its
profligate and wanton waste of life.
And nhiit n consummate folly and
crime does it appear ! Our heart sick

all human w isdoin. of t!ie arts of diplo
