English Landholders loved slavery ; so much so, that the
process of emancipation took up five huudred years: all the
time from William I to Elizabeth; but this Copy-hold sys
tem ; this leasing out of most of the lands to slaves for rent,
worked so well, made labor so willing, and so well be
haved ; was so economical, and made the lands so much
more profitable than before, that the landholders, the Lords
of Manors, for it voluntarily, without law, abandoned
slavery, each man for himself, and reserving such grounds
as they wanted for their own use, leased out the whole country,
gradually, to their slaves, who thus became freed men and
Copy-hold tenants.
This is the whole truth and history about English etnan
cipatiou at home. Her land-holders found “ Copy-hold ten
ants more profitable than slaves; better for both parties; and
so they exchanged slavery for bigger crops and higher tents.
Lord Macaulay, who was a modern abolitionist, in his his
tory of Modern England, written in 1846, pretends that
British slavery yielded to its great rebuker, Christianity.
How much this fabulous, unsupported story is like that of
“ Jack the Giant Killer” may be seen by consulting any
authentic evidence. It is contradicted positively by Hume,
and by every book on Land Law in a Lawyer’s library, from
the most ancient, down to the annotators on Lord Lough
borough’s decision as judge in the Court of King’s Bench
in 1781, in the Copy-hold case of Grant vs. Astle, in Doug
lass Reports, 724. It is contradicted by the practice—
related by Hume, of the very Magistrates—the Mayor and
Burgesses of the city of Bristol, who notoriously captured
—kidnapped the poor white children of their town and
sold them as slaves in America. It is contradicted by the
action of Queen Elizabeth, who, as soon as informed by her
Attorney General that no white slaves could be then found
in England, immediately licensed Sir John Hawkins to
begin the slave trade in African negroes. It is contra
dicted by the contract of Queen Anne with the King of
Denmark to deliver in two years one hundred and thirty
thousand African slaves in the Danish West India islands,
and she performed her agreement.
Turn, then, your eyes to old England, and see there at
work to-day, with glorious success, in every Manor of the
kingdom, the “Land and Labor” system, which I recom
mend for the cotton-growing part of the South. I dream
no dream ; I hold before you no picture of fancy ; I invite
you to no blind, costly experiment. I present you a sys
tem of “Land and Labor” surpassingly suited to our pres
ent circumstances, and already tested by eight hundred years oj
experience: a system which has improved the condition of
English slaves on one hand; and yet enriched English
Landholders on the other: which has adorned England
.ith beauty like a bride, and preserved in honor and pow
er for ages, her wise Landholders, and which works just as
7 to-day as it did five hundred years ago.
Away ! with President Johnson’s nonsense about “ sub
dividing our big Plantations.” With a copy-hold tenan-
t y we can employ hundreds and work square miles.—
A way ! with the Emigration theory : “ We can do without
the negro;—a South without a negro.”—Away! with
Gen. Gleason’s abolition theory, “ free the negro that he
may be destroyed and pass away like the Red man.”—
Away with them all. The Negro is the Laborer for us.
and nearly five millions of them are present on our soil.
Settle them quickly—settle them in long, happy homes,
where parents can teach their children to work. Come
up as friends to their rescue ; let them not pc-rish! Save
them for humanity and mercy ! Save them for your own
interest, and establish with Eree Negroes, over the whole
cotton-country, an American system of “ Copy-Hold Land
and Labor." Let us, begin cautiously with seven year
Leases at most, until we all get wiser by experience. Af
ter that, we can grant longer Leases.
Now to do all this effectually, we want some new
things to be done, and some old things to be undone.
Good lawyers, and experienced Planters will at once
see this. Above all, and first of all, our Landholder
must have—and can very easily have—the same ma
chinery : the same agency that the English Landholder
uses to work his Copy-hold Tenure with, viz: a Land
holder's Court, and Bailijj;—a mere Plantation Court, and
Plantation Bailiff. This is the great working secret oi
the system. In England they call it the “Court Baron”:—
but “ Landholder s Court"—“Plantation Court;”—“ Land
and Labor Court;”—that is it—and that is all of it. We
must have that for every ten plantations. That is a little
quiet Court, which the world never sees nor hears of. It
has nothing to do with the world. It is a home-court; sits
on the land every three weeks, administers, not the general
laws of the nation, but only the bye-laws and contracts of
each particular manor, or plantation; and as to the Copy
hold Tenants, and Laborers, the Landholder is judge. It is
his Court-, and is a part of his land-title, and the Bailiff is his
Bailiff; no negro election about it. The Bailiffs main
business is to collect small debts among the tenants at
home; to collect Rents, punctually, every quarter, to keep
good order and to arrest all sturdy beggars and idle vaga
bonds found on the laud.
Now, that is the Court and that is the Bailiff we want.
We are suffering for them badly to-day, all over the coun
try. If we furnish the Negroes with good homes and long
leases, they must behave well; their houses must not be
hiding places for idle children, nor idle lodgers, and every
idle, wandering vagabond, who is out of his settlement,
is a dangerous character, and must be arrested by the Bailiff,
and some quick Court must try him and send him to the
county chain-gang to Work the roads. The present bad
plan in Georgia of letting a vagrant idler go free ; or else
lodging him in jail as a public boarder at public expense of
$274 a year for jail board, waiting for a Superior Court to
come around twice a year to try him, it is to be hoped will
be soon corrected. No idle fellow can be found on an Eng-
ish Manor; the Bailiff of the Manor, and the Public work
house are ever ready for him. And we must have this
Plantation Court and Bailiff; and this summary session oj
ustice to punish vagrauts. All our hopes depend on it.
Without it we fail. We are failing to-day for lack of it.
And it is useless to settle the Negroes, or devise Land and
Labor systems, unless we provide quick disposal and hard
vork for all idle vagabonds. As our Plantations are gener-
Jly much smaller than English Manors, five or ten or more
an group, and the owner of one can be chosen by the
thers, to keep the Court Roll and be judge of the manor,
or decennary. It can all be done;—simply by a short
7‘gislative Act of Permission :—that is all—a mere Act of
} crmission. Copy-hold Court rules; Court-Baron Rules
• nd laws, are all ready in the books on Land Law. Changes
cf course will be needed on some points; but they will
come by experience. The main changes needed, are in our
old laws; some of which work very badly now, and are
much in our way.
The Court Baron, or Plantation Court, brings protection
and police right home to the English farm-hand ; and
where it ends, the “ Hundred Court,” and the ‘ Court of
Sessions of Justices’'begins. The “Court-Roll" of this Court
Baron contains all the Leases, and belongs to the Landlord, and
goes down with the land-titles. This little Court, confined en
tirely to the home-life of the manor; the daily, private
business of the Landholder and his Copy-Hold, or Allot
ment tenants, is the great secret of English Agriculture. It
a one gives efficacy to the “ Land and Labor system.” It
watches everybody, controls everything ;.is always at home
on the land; and has come along down with the land-title,
as part of it, for more than eight hundred years; and if
ve adopt the plan I advise, we must get this Court and
t.iis Bailiff, whether we settle the cotton-country negroes
a3 “ Copy-hold tenants” of fields, as farmers, or as “Allot
ment tenants” of homes and half-acre gardens, as mere
hired Laborers. We will need them even worse than the
English Landholder, if possible, owing to the frivolous,
unstable, licentious character of the free negroes.
And now I know it is a great thing that I propose. The
sudden change of the land tenure of so large a country ; the
basing out for years, nearly all the cleared fields of the South
tu jrec negroes as Copy-hold farmers, or their settlement for
lears in ’‘Allotment cabins" and half acre gardens, and the
establishment thereby of new institutions, new manners
f nd customs, and new orders of society—this is a great and
weighty matter, full of many grave consequences. But
c ®hange like a sea has already swept over us. Our
tld labor system is dissolved; we have no suitable control
° t our labor-class, °r their children. Our country is filled
with nearly five millions of free negroes, homeless and hope
less; deserting our fields, and filling the land more and more
with vagrancy and crime, and if we omit much longer to
settle them m some way, and thus get their children brought into
settling. Many of them aie so already. Such a'change In
our ancient labor-system compels some great corresponding
change in our laud system. If the “Copyhold Tenure” and
the “ Landholder’s Court” work as well for us with free ne
groes, as for the Land-holders of England with white
slaves let loose, we may justly rejoice in our lot, and es
teem ourselves fortunate and happy in the great privilege
of laying such a corner stone for the South. The work we
do will be approved and praised by posterity, and far ofl
generations of our sons and of ransomed, happy negroes,
will bless our memory—just as English landholders of to
day, and their happy, noble families bless the memory of
their wise forefathers, who hundreds of years ago, devised
and perfected the plan I recommend.
Fear not to enter on the change. No better offers; and
you hold this in your own control; and if the present crisis be
lost, and the free negroes be ruined, 'worse changes still, and
early, await us. Seize then the fleeting chance. Arouse to
the danger of losing quickly five millions ojLaborers, now at our
door. Lilt your eyes to the inspiring future : a labor sys
tem to endure for ages ! Eight hundred years ! and our
sons still cotton planters; still masters of the South, and
their cotton fields full, from age to age, of happy, well
settled, and well regulated free negroes !
Here is our foundation, better than slavery! Build on
it a regenerated South ! honorable in her sons; rich in her
matchless.cotton fields; strong in her hoj eful, well housed,
happy negroes; her black tenantry, wl o will, bye and bye,
under our command, fight for their own good homes, and
for us their friends and protectors, like the Black Legions
of Sesostris for Egypt. Use your signal advantages over
all mankind ; the best cotton-climate, and the best cotton
Labor. Give them not up; but start afresh upon a new
career of perpetual cotton culture. Like English Land
holders, take all your land out of the Sheriff’s market, and
consecrate it as homes for your people, and fields for your
fixed Tenants; and having thus secured your land by law,
prepare to secure them by arms against all chances. Join
arms to agriculture; bring military education borne to
every household. With your Lands and Labor all fixed in
the “Copy-Hold Court-Roll” and your sons on the muster
roll, teach them they are to be leudal knights; men-at-
arms, not Arcadian Shepherds; and train them for defence
of their titles to this vast cotton-plain from Potomac to
Rio Grande. Build on this new corner stone a new society ;
sure in its foundations ; sound and vigorous as the Orders
of England; lasting and distinct as the “Castes” of Ilin-
dostan or the skin of the Ethiopean : assuring at the very
outstart, to our children, and our children’s children, that
our Landholders shall be a superior race:—pure white as
the Princes and maidens of Caucasus ; with African La
borers forever, free, many, and happy, and black as their
tatooed sires and mothers of Congo and Angola.

Great Men.—We always think of great men as in the
act of performing the deeds which give them renown, or else
in stately repose, grand, gloomy, and majestic. And yet
this is hardly fair, because even the most gorgeous and mag
nificent of human beings have to bother themselves with
the little things of life which engages the attention of us
smaller people. No doubt, Moses snuffed and got angry
when he had a severe cold in his head, and if a fly bit his
leg while he was sitting in the desert, why should we sup
pose he did not jump and use violent language and rub the
sore place? And Caesar—isn’t it tolerably certain that he
used to become furious when he went up stairs to get his
slippers in the dark and found that Calphurnia had shov
eled them back under the bed so that he had to sweep
arouud wildly for them with the broom handle? And when
Solomon cracked his crazy bone, is it unreasonable to sup
pose that he hopped around the room and looked mad and
felt as if he wanted to cry? Imagine George Washington
sitting on the edge of the bed putting on a clean shirt, and
growling at Martha because the buttons were offj or St.
Augustine with an apron around his neck having his hair
cut; or Joan of Arc holding her front hair in her mouth, as
women do, while she fixed up her back hair; or Napoleon
jumping out of bed in a frenzy to chase a mosquito around
the room with a pillow; or Martin Luther in his night shirt
trying to put baby to sleep at 2 o’clock in the morning; or
Alexander the Great with the hiccups; or Thomas Jefferson
getting suddenly over a fence to avoid a dog; or the Duke
of Wellington lying in bed with the mumps; or Daniel Web
ster abusing his wile because she hadn’t tucked the covers in
at the foot of the bed; or Benjamin Franklin paring bis corn
with a razor; or Jonathan Edwards at the dinner table
wanting to sneeze just as he gets his mouth full of hot beef;
or Noah standing at his window at night throwing bricks at
a cat.—Max Adclcr.

and eliminates from the system the specific virus
which causes such a long list of suffering.
Iu every form of scrofulous, mercurial and consli
tutional blood complaints, it stands without a compeer
rapidly curing ulcers, pustules, carbuncles,scald head,
salt rliemn, and the 88 different varieties of skin affec
tions. It is a positive curative for scrofula, and the
deadly enemy of mercury, lead and arseDic, quickly
eliminating them from the, ystein. The Fluid Extract

complexion If you want pure, rich blood, clear skin
