JUDGE BLACK’S OPEN LETTEB.
To Hon. Junes A. Garfield, Member of
Congress from Ohio :
I have rend the speech you sent me.
I ain astonished and shocked. As the
leader of youi party, to whom the can
didates have speciolly delegated the
conduct of the pending campaign, you
should have met your responsibilities
in a very different way. I do not pre
sume to lecture so distinguished a man
upon his errors; but if I can prevent
you, even to a small extent, irom abus
ing the public credulty, it is my duty
to try. Premising only my great anx
iety to preserve the fraternal relations
existing between us for many years, I
follow the Horatian iule, and come at
once to “the middle of things.”
You trace back the origin of present
parties to the earliest immigrations at
Plymouth and Jamestown, and profess
to find in tlie opposing doctrines then
planted and afterward constantly cher
ished in Massachusetts and Virginia,
the germs of those ideas which now
make Democracy and Abolitionism the
deadly foes of each other. The ideas
so planted in Massachusetts were, ac
cording to your account, the freedom
and equality of all races, and the right
and duty of every man to exercise his
private judgment in politics as well as
fehgion. On the other hand, you set
™th us irreconsilably hostile the doc
trine of Virginia, “that capital should
own labor, that the negro had no rights
i w naanhood, and that the white man
Bight buy, own and sell him and his
oilspring forever.” Following these as-
ertions with others, and linking the
present with the long past, you employ
| ne devices of your rhetoric to glorify
I f !, modern Abolitionists and to throw
scorn, not merely on the Southern
'pie, but on the whole Democracy of
the country.

cruelty of their laws against the free
dom of conscience and the unfeeling
rigor with which they were executed,
made Massachusetts odious throughout
the world.
These great crimes of the Pilgrim
Fathers ought not to bn cast up to their
children ; ior some of their descend
ants (I hope a good majority) are high-
principled and honest men, sincerely
attached to tho liberal institutions
planted in the more southern latitudes
of the continent. But if you are right
in your assertion that the Abolitionists
derive their principles from the ideas
entertained and planted at Plymouth,
that may account for the coarse and
brutal tyranny with which your party
has, in recent times, trampled upon the
rights of free thought and free
speech. *
SLAVERY IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Nor.are you more accurate in your
declaration that the old Yankees plant
ed the doctrine of freedom and equali
ty, or opposed the domination of one
race oyer another. Messrs. Palfrey and
Sumner have said something to the ef
fect that slavery never existed in Mas
sachusetts. and you have been misled
by them. But either they were wholly
ignorant of the subject, or else they
spoke with that loose and lavish unve-
racity which is a common fault among
men of their political sect. Plymouth
colony and the province of Massachu
setts Bay were pro-Blavery to the back
bone. If you doubt this I refer you
to Moore’s “History of Slavery in Mas
sachusetts,” where the evidence (con-
Africans always, on the contrary, ac
cepted the “ situation,” were easily
domesticated, and bore the yoke without
murmuring. For that reason, it became
a settled rule of public and private econo
my in Massachusetts to exchange their
worthless Indians for valuable negroes,
cheating their West India customers in
every trade. Perhaps it was here that
your party got tho germ of its honesty as
well as its humanity. They made war
for no other object than to supply them
selves with subjects for this fraudulent
traffic. In 1643, Emanuel Downing the
foremost lawyer in the colony, aud a
leader of commanding influence, ns well
as high connections made a written argu
ment in favor of a war with the Narragou-
setts. He did not pretend that any wrong
been done, but a pious dread that Massa
chusetts would be held responsible for the
false religion of the Narragansetts. “I
doubt,” says he ‘“if -it bo not synne in us,
having power in our hands, to suffer them
to mayntayne the worship of the devil,
which their pow-wowes doe.” This
tenderness of conscience is very charac
teristic of the party which got the “ germ
of its ideas” from that source. But go
a little fnrther, and you will see with
pleasure how exactly you have copied
their doctrines. “ If,” says he, " upon a
, ust war, the Lord should deliver them
into our hand, we might easily have men,
women and children to exchange, for Moors
(negroes), which will be more gayneful
pilladgo for us than we conceive, for I do
not see how we can thrive until we get into
a stock of slaves sufficient to do all our busi
ness.” This (except the spelling) might
sisting chiefly of records and docu
ments perfectly authenticated) is pro
duced and collated with a fulness and
fairness which cannot be questioned.—
The Plymouth immigrants planted pre
cisely the same doctrine which you
ascribe to the Jamestown colonists;
that is to say, they held that “the ne
gro had no rights of manhood; (hat
the white man might buy, own and
sell him and his offspring forever.”—
Practically and theoretically they
maintained that human slavery, in its
most unmitigated form, was a perfect
ly just, proper and desirable institu
tion, entirely consistent with Christian
ity as they understood it, and founded
on principles of universal jurisprudence.
They insisted upon it as an established
and settled rule of the law of nations that
when one government or community or
political organization made war upon its
own subjects of another, and vanquished
them, the people of the beaten party had
no rights to which the right of the con
querors was not paramont. Whenever
it was demonstrated, by actual experi
ment, that auy people were too weak to
de defend the homes and families against
an invader who visited them with fire and
sword, they migth lawfully be stripped of
their property, and they themselves, their
wives and their childreu, might justly be
held as slaves or sold into perpetual
bondage. That was the idea tjpy planted
in their own soil, propagated among their
contemporaries, aud transmitted to the
Abolition party of the present day. You
have preached and practised it in all your
dealings with the South. This absolute
domination is what you mean, if you
meau anything when you talk about the
“ precious results of the war,”. If the
doctrine thus planted by the orgiral set
tlers in Massachusetts be true and if the
“precious fruits” of it, whioh you are
gathering with so much industry, bo legiti
mate, it is a perfect justification of all the
slavery that ever existed on this continent.
Your great exemplars, from whom you
acknowledge that you have derived your
ideas of freedom, certainly thought, or
professed to think so, and they carried
t out to itS logical cousequences. When
an African potentate chose to fight with
and subdue a weak tribe, inside or out of
his own dominions, ho sold tho prisoners
whom ho did not think proper to kill,
and the men of Massachusetts bought
them without a question of his title.
They kept them aud worked them to
death, or sold tnera again as their interest
prompted—for they held that the right of
domination resulting from the application
of brute force, was good in tho hands of
all subsequent purchasers, however remote
from the original congusitor,
TIIE MASSACHUSETTS SLAVE FBAUD3.
They executed this theory to its fullest
extent in their own wars with the Indians.
Without cause or provocation, and with
out notice or warning the fell upon the
Pequods, massacred many of them, and
made slaves of the survivors, without dis
tinction of age or sex. About seven
hundred, including many women and
children, were sent to the West Indies,
and were sold on public account, tho pro
ceeds being put in the colonial treasury.
Eight score of these unfortunate people
escaped the butchery by flight, and after-,
ward agreed to give themoelves. up on a
solemn promise of the authorities that
they should neither be put to death nor
enslaved. The promise was brokon with
as little remorse as a modern Abolitionist
would violato his oath to support the
Constitution. The “precious results of
the war,” were not to be lost by an honest
observance of their pledged faith, and
the victims of this infamous treachery
were all of them shipped to the Barba-
does, and sold or “ swapped for Blacka
moors,” this practice of onslavmg their
captives was uniform, covered caues, in
cluded women and children as well as
fiehtine men. When death put King
Philip beyond their reach, they sent his
wifo and child with the rest to be sold into
slavery. Tho Indians make had slaves
They were hard to tame, they escaped to
the forest and had to be hunted down,
brought back and branded. They never
ceased to he sullen and disobedient. J he
come from an Abolition caucus to-day.
You will find Downing's letter in Moore,
page 10.
YANKEE HUMANITY,
They did get most of their Indians off,
and supplied themselves with negroes in
their place. The shameless inhumanity,
with which the blacks werq used made
slavery in Massachusetts the “ sum of all
villainy.” In the letter of Downing,
already referred to, he says: “ You know
very well we shall maytayne twenty
Moors cheaper than one Englishc ser
vant.” Think of reducing a West India
negro in that intensely cold climate to
the one-twentieth part of the food and
clothing which a white menial was in the
habit of getting. They must have been
frozen and starved to death in great num
bers. When that happened was but the loss
of an animal. The harboring of a slave
woman was, in 1646, pronounced by the
highest authority to be the same injury
as a lawful detentive of beast. In 1716,
Sewell, the chief justice of the colony,
said negroes were rated with horses and
hogs. Dr. Belknap tells us that after
ward, when the stock enlarged and the
market became dull, young negroes and
mulattoes were sometimes given away
like puppies. This is the kind of free
dom, this the equality of the races,
which you learned from tho ancient
colonists.
But they taught you more than that.
Their precept and example established
the slavery of white persons as well as
Indians and negroes. As their remorse
less tyranny spared no age and no sex,
so it made no distinction of color. Be
sides the cargoes of white heretics whioh
were captured and shipped to them by
their brethren in England, they took
special delight in fastening their yoke
on all who were suspected of heterod
oxy. One instance is worthy of special
attention. Lawrence Southwick and
his wife were Quakers, and accused at
the same time with many others of at
tending Quaker meeting, or “syding
with Quakers” and “absenting them
selves from the publick ordinances.”
The Southwicks had previously suffer
ed so much in their persons ana estates
from this kind of persecution that they
could no longer work or pay any more
fines, and, therefore, the general court,
by solemn resolution, ordered them to
be banished on pain of death. Banish
ment, you will not fail to notice, was
in itself equivalent to a lingering death
if tho parties were poor and feeble; for
it meant merely driving them into the
wilderness to starve with hunger and
cold. Southwich and his wife went out
and died very soon. But this is not all
This unfortunate pair had two chil
dren, a boy and n girl, (Daniel and
Provided), who, having healthy con
stitutions, would bring a good price in
tho slave market. The children were
taken from the parents and ordered to
be sold in the West Indies. It happen
ed however, that there was not a ship
master in any port of the colony who
would consent to become the agent of
their exportation and sale. The author
ities, being thus baulked in their views
of the main chance, were fain to be
„ lc satisfied in another way; they ordered
1 the girl to bo whipped; she was lashed
accordingly, in company with several
other Quaker ladies, and then com
mitted to prison, to be further procee
ded against. History loses sight of her
there. No record shows whether they
killed her or not.
This is ono case out of a great many.
It is very interesting and instructive
when taken in connection with your
speech, for it shows tho “germ of the
idea” which your party acted on when
it kidnapped and imprisoned men and
women by the thousands for believing
in American liberty as guaranteed by
the Constitution. The Quakers and
Baptists had no printed organs in that
day through which their private judg
ment could bo expressed, else you
would no doubt have cases directly in
