Charles Congdon, Tribune Essays: Leading Articles Contributing to the New York Tribune from 1857 to 1863. (ed. Horace Greeley), Father Ludovico's fancy. (search)
our religious contemporary, The North Carolina Presbyterian, asking the masters of that State why, in the name of common sense and the very cheapest economy, they do not stir up a revival; because, as The Presbyterian justly observes, The market-value of a pious slave is greater than that of an impious one, while a lively faith improves his personal appearance --plerophory being followed by pingniosity, and solemnity by sleekness. But the species of religion admired and cultivated in North Carolina, and especially in Rogersville, Tenn.,--where the sweet-souled Colonel Netherland. gave his negro that beautiful basting behind the church, which, through these columns, has passed into history — this species is one which Father Ludovico does not appear to fancy. He clearly has not embraced the American notion that a black body who cannot read his Testament, and to whom the hymnbook is a jumble of hieroglyphics — who has a good opinion of the Deity, but a much clearer one of his driver

ste. At the South, however, and under the beautiful influences of the institution, it seems to be different --a grave-stone being the great object of life with the faithful African. At least such appears to be the opinion of The Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer. The editor of that newspaper recently had occasion to go into a grave-yard, doubtless for purposes of moral reflection and philosophical study, and while there he actually discovered in the corner allotted to slaves, two marble tomb-ston of merits in one lot! Whether the excellent cook, if dead, has a grave-stone, or, if living, a fair prospect of that ornamental remembrance to solace her stewing and boiling labors, we are not informed. Such stuff as this The Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer prints is always caught up by the dough press, and especially by the dough-religious press, and is paraded ostentatiously as if it really meant something. So far as it goes towards proving anything touching the slave system, its good i

t must be foolisher than that great fool, the Average of Mankind! Without repeating here the Statistics of Mr. Olmsted who is a keen observer, we beg leave to refer the reader to the travels of Porte-Crayon in the Southern States, illustrated by his own clever pencil, and published in Harper's Monthly Magazine. The author is a Southern man, and so far an interested witness; and we are sure that nobody would have believed, but for his decisive testimony, in the barbarism to be found in North Carolina. But it is most convenient to argue directly from the point of Secession. The fact that it is a great crime without provocation, and a blunder almost idiotic, knocks both nails on the head and clinches them. Secession is Wickedness and Ignorance. On the one hand, it is Passion, Pride, Ambition and Greed. On the other, it is Folly and Stupidity. The Seceders may not be any worse than the Hottentots, but in a certain sense they are no better. It will be said that Massachusetts h

e lofty than agreeable. Half the citizens of the South do not as yet know the alphabet of government. In the political ethics of the plantation they are well enough versed; they have a dim notion of governing by the aid of a long whip and a heavy-handed overseer; but of governing themselves, of permitting themselves to be governed, they have no more notion than had the Barons and Robber-Knights of the Middle Ages — the quarrelsome ragtag and bob-tail of chivalry that followed St. Louis to Palestine. The doctrine of secession would be found in the end monstrously inconvenient, even though it should be at first triumphant; for after that, there would be nothing but thunder. State would recede from State, County from County, Parish from Parish, Husband from Wife, and Copartner from Copartner, until, at last, we should hear from their farm in North Carolina that Chang had seceded from Eng, and that both were dead — the victims of a mania for breaking things generally!

Extemporizing production. our statistical friend, Mr. De Bow, whose arithmetical exploits in the manufacture of Census Reports did not give the world a very lofty idea of his veracity. whatever may have been the opinion of his ingenuity, announces with some flourish that a blacking and lucifer-match-factory has been established at Lynchburg, and that North Carolina has engaged in the manufacture of pea-nut oil. Moreover, Mr. De Bow lifts up his voice jubilantly in respect of eight tan-yards in Louisa County, (State not named.) Also, many females are spinning upon old fashioned hand-loomns in South Carolina. Mr. De Bow spreads his statistics, which are dreadfully meagre, over the broadest possible surface, and brings up on bowieknives. They are turning out these valuable weapons, it appears, with consummate alacrity, in Portsmouth, Va. And this suggests a more careful examination prove to be principally bayonets, camp-stools, gunpowder, tent-poles, bowie-knives, revolving pisto
