MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1868.
A Saintly Altercation.
Parson Boynton, says the Angusta Consti
tutionalist, is the Chaplain of Congress, and
so very loyal to the United States of the
North, that he takes God Almighty into his
confidence when making a stump prayer
before the Honso of Bepresentatires. Gen.
Howabd, the head of the Freedman’s Bureau,
is almost as evangelical as Boynton. They
both belong to the same church; they both
are loyal to a degree which is almost sancti
monious; they are intense haters of “rebels”
and “ rebellion; ” they profess to be horrified
at Southern barbarism; they have the facial
lugubrionsness of Aminidab Sleek; and,
alas! the belligerent sentiments of veritable
Ku-Klux—Yankee Ku-Klux. Bead the fol
lowing narrative from a Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Gazette, and learn
from it how even truly “ loil ” and most
Christian humanitarians can abuse one an
other and almost fight. The correspondent
says; , (.
“The difficulty in the Congregational
Church of this city culminated in a personal
interview between General Howard and the
Bev. Dr. Boynton, pastor of the church, who
casually encountered each other on the street
General Howard commenced the colloquy by
saying: ‘I take .this occasion to pronounce
all that yon have said of me an unmitigated
falsehood.’
“Dr. Boynton—‘Do you mean to call me
a liar ?'
“General Howard—‘I mean what I say,
and pronounce your statement an unmitigated
falsehood.’
“Dr. Boynton—‘Then you mean to call
me a liar? ’
“General Howard—‘Yes, sir! I say that
you have lied.’
“Dr. Boynton—‘If sir, you had two arms
I should thrash you for insulting me.’
“ General Howard—‘Never mind my arm;
try it and thrash me if you can.”
“At this point the reverend gentleman
turned away from the belligerent member of
his congregation, and will no doubt report
the facts of the interview to the mutual
council, which has been summoned to con
sider and settle, if possible, the unfortunate
difficulties now existing in this congregation.”
► » ^ ;
We concur with the World in deeming the
late war “hideous and unnecessary”—but not
on the part of the Union. The demand of
the South that slavery should be extended,
in this age of Christian light and progress,
was “hideous,” and its making war on us
because we would not consent to such exten
sion was even more “hideous.” The war was
“unnecessary,” because there was no real ex
cuse for breaking up the Union or refusing
obedience to its lawful authority. Never be
fore .did a Christian people make war so wan-'
tonly, and with so little show of plausible
excuse, as the Southern States did when they
seized the arsenals, armories, sub-treasuries,
and most of the fortresses -of the Union
throughout a third of its area, and proceeded
capture (we might say kidnap) the largest
portion of our little army, then guarding the
frontier of Texas, and open fire for the re
duction of Fort Sumter. The Union made
no war—President Lincoln made none—they
were assailed without a colorable, pretext,
and compelled to fight for their lives. Jf the
World were not traitorous at heart, the ally
and tool of the defunct rebellion, it could not
so grossly • misrepresent ttW matter.—New
York Tribune.
Politicians are very uncertain people; but
we do not deem it probable, if possible, that
Mr. Greeley could be the authbr of this string
of perversions and untruths. Before the
war began he loudly protested against the
, use of force, and urged* that the Southern
States should be permitted to go in peace.
The following is one of the many utterances
which he put forth at that time:
“ If the Cotton States shall become satisfied
that they can do better out of the Union than
in it, we insist upon letting them go in peace.
* * ' * We hope, never to live in a re
public whereof one section is pinned to an
other by a bayonet.”
If he'does not,'his chpdrBn may live to rue
the day that his advice was not followed.
As to the charge that the .Confederates be
gan the war; that is unworthy of Mr. Greeley
and his paper. He knows that the South
sent commissioners to Washington, who ex
erted every means in their power for a pacific
settlement and separation. These commis
sioners were deluded with false hopes, and
expedients were devised to gain time, that
military preparations might be perfected.
The authorities at Washington turned a deaf
ear to all overtures and determined on war,
and resorted to the poor trick of forcing the
Confederates to fire the first gun, that they
might have it to say that war was made upon
them. This was the object of reinforcing
Sumter at the very time they were pretending
to be anxious for peace. “The aggressor in a
rear (says Hallam) is not the first icho uses
force, 6ui the first who renders force necessary."
They were entrapped by their own trick—
and will so stand recorded in history.—Rich-
mond Whig.
