Charles Congdon, Tribune Essays: Leading Articles Contributing to the New York Tribune from 1857 to 1863. (ed. Horace Greeley), The Foresight of Mr. Fielder. (search)
Mr. H. Fielder, we will do him the justice to say, is a first-rate hater. He throws down his glove in the preface with an unmistakable sincerity. I hate the North, says Mr. H. Fielder, ferociously. I love the South, says Mr. H. Fielder, tenderly, not to say amorously. Having thus proclaimed his freedom from all possible unworthy prejudices, he advances with zeal, demonstrating the prosperity and prostration of the South with a sort of ambidextrous logic, which would have astonished Archbishop Whately. He opens, indeed, with a burst of amiability, and a sort of grim politeness, soothing to consider. It is optional, says Mr. Fielder, with the public to read the title-page, and to throw it (the book) down without a perusal, or to read it. Herein it will be seen that Mr. Fielder's pamphlet differs from all other pamphlets heretofore ushered, or hereafter to be ushered, into this reading world. We cannot sufficiently appreciate Mr. Fielder's obliging condescension. We will, howev

ctmen were directed to borrow money to pay a bounty of one hundred and twenty-five dollars to each volunteer who shall enlist for three years, and be credited to the town previous to March, 1865. A similar vote was passed on the 4th of June. Whately, according to a return made by the selectmen in 1866, furnished seventy-three men for the war, which cannot have been correct. The true number was doubtless about one hundred and ten, as Whately furnished its full quota on every call made by thWhately furnished its full quota on every call made by the President, and at the end of the war had a surplus of twelve over and above all demands. One was a commissioned officer. The whole amount of money appropriated and expended by the town on account of the war, exclusive of State aid, was twelve thousand three hundred and eighty dollars ($12,380.00). The amount of money raised and expended by the town for the payment of State aid to the soldiers' families during the years of the war, and which was afterwards repaid by the Commonwealth, was

Believe me very sincerely yours, John Bright. It also called forth from Archbishop Whately the following letter:-- Palace, Dublin, January, 1863. Dear Madam,--In acknowledging your letter and pamphlet, I take the opportunity of laying before y safety. I fear, however, that the time is gone by for trying this experiment in America. With best wishes for the new year, believe me Yours faithfully, Rd. Whately. Among the many letters written from this side of the Atlantic regarding the reply, was one from Nathaniel Hawthorne, in which he says:-- I read with g

ord to thank them. It is but fair, however, to confess that they differ from that illustrious Spaniard. His chief anxiety was about his dinner; their distress rose higher than loaves and fishes,they trembled for our glorious Union. [Laughter.] The passions of men were all on fire,--the volcano in full activity. They confessed they did not know what to do; but they determined not to do they knew not what. Theirs was the stand-still policy, the cautious status quo of the old law. Now, Whately says there are two ways of being burned. The rash moth hurries into the flame, and is gone. The cautious, conservative horse, when his stable is on fire. stands stock-still, and is burnt up all the same. The Everett party chose the horse policy when their stable took fire. [Applause.] Don't you hear the horse's address: In this stall my father stood in 1789. Methinks I hear his farewell neigh. How agitated the crowds seem outside there! I'll have no platform but that my father had in

ld be sealed with blood, that our day of freedom would be like Egypt's, when God came forth from his place, his right hand clothed in thunder, and the jubilee of Israel was echoed by Egypt's wailing for her first-born. It is not the thoughtful, the sober-minded, the conscientious, for whom we fear. With them truth will finally prevail. It is not that we want eloquence or Christian zeal enough to sustain the conflict with such, and with your aid to come off conquerors. We know, as your Whately says of Galileo, that if Garrison could have been answered, he had never been mobbed; that May's Christian firmness, Smith's world-wide philanthropy, Chapman's daring energy, and Weld's soul of fire can never be quelled, and will finally kindle a public feeling before which opposition must melt away. But how hard to reach the callous heart of selfishness, the blinded conscience, over which a corrupt Church has thrown its shield lest any ray of truth pierce its dark chambers. How shall we

pean civilization. I have endeavored to measure its strength, to estimate its permanence, to analyze its elements; and if they ever came from the unassisted brain of one uneducated Jew, while Shakspeare is admirable, and Plato is admirable, and Goethe is admirable, this Jewish boy takes a higher level; he is marvellous, wonderful; he is in himself a miracle. The miracles he wrought are nothing to the miracle he was, if at that era and that condition of the world he invented Christianity. Whately says, To disbelieve is to believe. I cannot be so credulous as to believe that any mere man invented Christianity. Until you show me some loving heart that has felt more profoundly, some strong brain that, even with the aid of his example, has thought further and added something to religion, I must still use my common-sense and say, No man did all this. I know Buddha's protest, and what he is said to have tried to do. To all that my answer is, India past and present. In testing ideas an

that some men have recognized that duty to the minds of their fellows, and it raises him for a moment. Direct study is only half. The influences we drink in as we live and move, do even more to mould us. It is not till these do their full work that the character is formed. Argument is not half so strong as habit. A truth is often proved long before it is felt. A man is convinced long before he is converted. Constant, habitual, and often slight influences give us shape and direction. Whately has. well said there is more truth than men think in Dogberry's solemn rebuke, Masters, it is proved already that you are little better than false knaves, and it will go near to be thought so shortly.
