' graphical sketch heading his article
states. Is a naUve of Georgia, and at
. present Professor of History and
"Economics In the Florida University.
The position held by Mr. Banks in
a Southern University gives this ar
ticle a slgnificence that its intrinsic
merits do not command. -In fact. If
Mr. Banks were not occupying the po
sition that he does, I doubt very much
,tf his article would have appeared in
j the Independent.
- Two Questions Involved,
It is not my Intention to go into an
- argument in defense of secession. As
every tolerably weU informed man
f knows, there were two questions ln-
t-volved in that movement, vis:
1st. Did the Southern States have
the sovereign right to secede?
2nd. Was the occasion such as to
justify the exercise of this right?
That the Southern States did have
the sovereign right to secede and that
they did not act without occasion nor
, disproportionately to the occasion has
.been established beyond the power of
refutation. Mr. Banks assumes in this
article to write from a broad philoso
phical point of view. The whole ar
ticle however, shows that he totally
misapprehends the spirit of the Gov-
. ernment under which he lives, and that
he mistakes retrogression for progress

Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric add in the blood, and
while it is a disease which may be inherited, the great majority of cases
are acquired as the result of irregularities of the system. The principal
cause? or tne disease are constipation, weak kidneys, and indigestion,
or improper assimilation of food. : These internal disturbances of the
system prevent the proper removal of the bodily waste and refuse
matter, which souring in the intestines forms a urate salt which passes
into the blood. The fermented add destroys a portion of the healthful
properties of the circulation, and changes the Wood from a rich, nour
ishing stream to a thin, acrid fluid which deposits its sharp, uratic
Impurities into the joints, muscles
soreness or tendons ana rlesn which always comes with Kheumatism.
The danger of Rheumatism is in temporizing in the treatment, or
m raHingio realize the powerful nature of the trouble. If the blood is
allowed to remain infected with the uric add. Rheumatism soon becomes
chronic, and then if not checked it

An important thing to re
member in the treatment ' of
Rheumatism is, that while ex

relieve the acute pain of the

reach the blood. 1 hese meas

the cause and cures Rheumatism
the feverish, inflamed flesh is made
which it can be changed or amended,
and that any effort to amend or
change that instrument in accordance
with a "Bplrit of nationalism" or "in
tegrating influence" or in any other
manner than that prescribed by the
Constitution itself Is a flagrant breach
of the contract and Is "odious treason."
Mr. Bank's contention "that it was
as much the function of the statesmen
of 1860 to Interpret the nature of our
union in the light of what it ought to
be, as it was the duty of our fathers
in 1737 to act In harmony with the
demands of the day." is simply another
way of promulgating the Rooseveltlan
doctrine that the 'powers of the Ked
eral Government should be enlarged
and extended, not by the slow and dif
ficult method of amendment, as pre
scribed by the Constitution, but by
Legislative and Executive acts and by
Judicial construction. In other words,
this Professor of History and Econo
mics in the principal Institution of
learning In the State of Florida, advo
cates anarchy and a violation of the
bath required of aU public officials to
preserve, protect and defend the con-
tauiingu. T dcmTt lauxar when
stltntion. The Southern Statesmen of
1860 had a higher conception of their
moral and constitutional obligations.
Slavery Legalized.
Mr. Bank's assertion that slavery
was "legalized and regulated by the
State Governments not only by the
National (Federal) Government" leads
one to believe that this Professor of
History and Economics considers
"Government" and "Constitution" as
interchangeable terms; however, it Is,
probably, too exacting to require this
Professor of History and Economics,
to know that constitution and govern
ment are not the same, but that gov
ernment .Is the creature of constitu
tion. I will therefore assume that
when he refers to "government" in the
above sentence that he means "con
stitution," and I therefore respectfully
refer him to that, to him, strange in
strument, if he will read the Consti
tution of the United States before con
struing it, he will find that the legality
of slavery is recognized in the Consti
tution of the United States in the pro
vision for the rendition of fugitive
slaves; in the provision fixing the
basis for representation in the House
of Representatives in the Congress of
the United States, and in the provision
inhibiting the prohibiting of the lm
portatlon of slaves prior to 1808. It is
true that the word "slaves" is not used
in either provision, but, that these pro
visions had reference to slaves was
universally recognized at the time and
Is universally recognized now.
If Mr. Banks will brush up his his-
tone memory or inform his historic
mind, he will find that he is also mis
taken in contending that the question
of slavery antedated, and was the
cause of the insistence by the sover
eignty. Mr. Banks in this article very
truly says that the agitation of negro
slavery .was not very acute, prior to
1830, while every well informed school.
boy of sixteen knows that in both sec
tions and at all times, state sover
eignty was fully recognized prior to
1830, and that in both sections and at
various times this question became
very acute, prior to 1830.
New England as Example.
Has he never heard of the several
occasions upon which the New Eng
land States insisted upon their sov
eretgn right to secede and threatened
to enforce this right long prior to
1830? Has he never heard of the
Hartford Convention, which was in re
ality a secession convention, and
which convened during the War of
1812? Has he never heard of the Vir
ginia and Kentucky resolutions of
1798-1799, which were emphatic asser
tions of the doctrine of state sover
eignty and Involved the right of se
cession? Has he never read the oele
brated report of Madison on the Vir
ginia resolution? Can he really be ig
norant of all of these historic events,
and he a Professor of History and
Economics?
Mr. Banks also states "that students
of history can easily see the reasona
bleness and correctness of the Repub
Ucan attitude" in 1860 in insisting that
congress "under the constitution had
complete . powers of government In the
territories, and that it should exer
cise these powers in behalf of free
dom." Now this question had produc
ed many and acrimonious debates in
congress. Eventually all parties united
in declaring that a decision of the su
preme court on this question would be
accepted as final In 1857, in the fa
mous ' Dred Scott case, the supreme
court of the United States declared
that congress had no right to exclude
citizens of the South from taking their
slave property, as any other property,
into any part of the common terri
tory, and that they were entitled ,to
claim and receive the prote'ctlon of
this property, and this was the conten
tion of the Southern wing Of the
Democratic party of 1860.
Now does this professor of history
and economics see the "reasonable
ness and . correctness of the Republi
can attitude" on this question, from
a constitutional standpoint, after this
decision of the suprem court, or does
ho see the "reasonableness and cor
rectness of the Republican attitude"
on this question from a moral- stand
point in violating the agreement to
accept this decision of the supreme
court of the United States as final?
This professor of history and econom
ics again says, that in order to protect
thj .Institution of slavery "the South
was led to attach exaggerated im
portance to the doctrine of states
rights and to revive a political science
that was becoming obsolete." Again
he speaks of state sovereignty as "an
antiquated order of things in govern
ment." Does not this professor of
history and economics know that the
question of state sovereignty or state
rights was coeval with the federal
government, and that there had been
no period in the existence of the fed
em! government prior to 1861, whon it
was not a vital principle. Does he not
know that Calhoun's celebrated resolu
tion declaring the right and sover
eignty of the states, passed the senate
in 1838 by more than a two-thirds ma
jority against the determined but fu
tile opposition of "Webster? xDoes he
not know that those resolutions were
the cornerstone of the tenets and prin
ciples of the Democratic party, and
that the Democratic party was .the
majority and dominant party up to the
election of 1860?
The Dred Scott Case.
He refers to the Dred Scott opin
ion. Has .he never read It, or does he
fail to understand Jhat this decision
of the supreme court emphatically af
firmed the doctrine of state sovereign
ty? That this decision was rendered
as late as 1857, and that it was the
basis of the Democratic platform in
1860, and that this decision was so
universally recognized as correct, that
it was deemed necessary by the Re
publican party in 1868 to add to the
constitution of the United States, by
fraud and violence, the so-called Four
teenth amendment to get rid of the
principles enunciated in that decision;
which principles the professor of his
tory and economics in the Florida
University pronounces to have become
obsolete and antiquated in 1861? Does
he not know that in 1850 Hale of New
Hampshire, presented, petitions to the
senate of the United States, praying
for a dissolution of the union, and
that Chase of Ohio afterwards ap
pointed chief justice of the United
States by Lincoln, and Seward of
New York, afterwards appointed sec
retary of state by Lincoln, voted to re
ceive these petitions? Does he not
know, that "Wm. Lloyd Garrison, and

this professor of history and econom
ics knows these things, how can he

themselves with the cause that Is "lost,

wrong because they can reap no bene

wisdom to repudiate your fathers, con
demn their heroism, patriotism and
sacrifices in the cause of constitutional
liberty, as obsolete and not in accord
with the commercial progress of the
age. You should adopt the teachings
of the North, and thereby you may
gain much in this world's goods. Those
southern men, however, who decline
to adopt and act upon "the broad his
torical philosophy" of this professor of
history and economics, still insist that
the South was right, eternally right, in
the great conflict of '61 to '63.

lstration of the svernment of the
United States from '61 to '65 was the
inauguration of that utter and flagrant
disregard of the constitution and of
all constitutional limitations, that has
pavea tne way for the corruption and
crime which has permeated every de
partment of the federal a-nvi-nmant..
and for that dominance of the money
devil" from which the people are now'
striving; to free themselvea To thi
demoralization the South has ben a
constant and implacable foe.
No representative of Southern berth
and Southern lineage, in either the
senate or house of representatives of
the congress of the United States has
ever been, even, suspected of corrupt
or dishonest practices, or of having in
any way prostituted his office for pri
vate gain.
So far from concurring !n the opin
ion of Mr. Banks that Lincoln was the
superior of Davis, I believe that the
impartial student of history, who, Ig
noring the detractors, and eulogists of
both, and looking only to official acts
as officially recorded, must conclude
that Jefferson Davis was a statesman
and patriot able and pure, and that
Abraham Lincoln was a politician of
possibly a higher type than Theodore
Roosevelt.
In conclusion, there are few, very
few, southern men who will subscribe
to the views of the professor of his
tory and economics in the Florida Uni
versity, and these few are candidates
for northern applause to be followed
by Yankee gold, therefore, the vast
majority In the South is out of "har
mony with the age," and still believes
in an antiquated, obsolete order of
things in morals, in economics and In
government.
According to the "broad historical
philosophy" of the professor of history
and economics In the Florida Uni
versity, "the tragedy of the South'!
past" is that she has been patriotic,
honest and possessed of constitutional
morality, and according to . this same
"broad historical philosophy.". - -the
"tragedy of her present Is that she
does not yet fully realize" that It Is
best to repudiate the patriotism, the
heroism and the sacrifices made by the
heroes of '61 to '65 to the great cause
of constitutional liberty.
