Sketches of Southern Literature. THE PAST AND PRESENT. NO- 11. Southern Writers and Authors. By JUDGE WILLIAM ARCHER COCKE, of Florida. Author of the Constitutional History of United States and Common and Civil Law in United States. We have now reached in the history .of our Southern L iterature a period not only of great moment to every Southerner, but the most pro- tentous in the annals of this great nation ; the great revo lution of 1881—that great civil war, which, if disastrous, as it was to the South, may yet be demonstrated, as the developed prin ciple on which the constitutional government of the United States will be ultimately wrecked. In continuing these sketches to the present time, we ask the reader to go with us in a brief digression, the importance of which will be rec ognised as the reader follows the thread of our philosophy drawn as it is between the luminous and beautiful landscapes of the history and lit erature of a nation. In 18(57, W. Gilmore Simms the Walter Scott of America—the ‘Wizeard of the South.’publish ed a volume ot poetry, entitled ‘the war poetry of the South.' It contains songs, and poems, written by many sons and daughters of the South under the deep feeling not only of dis tress but the inspiration of suffering and agony which not only tinged, and colored the liter ature of the period, but pictured the foreground ot stern and active history. The work is dedi cated ‘To the women of the South,’ and most appropriately, ‘if they have lost a cause they have gained a triumph.’ We feel justified in making allusion most dis tinctly to ‘the war poetry ot the South’ at this point of our sketches, for it so fully illustrates the position we have just discussed, ‘the con nection between the history and the literature of a nation.’ Sir. Simms very beautifully and truthfully remarks. • The enfotiona! literature of a people, is as necessary to the philosophical historian as the mere details of events in the progress of a nation. This is essential to the repeutation of the Southern people as illustrating the feelings, sentiments, ide^s, and opinions—the motives which influence their actions, and the objects which they ha 1 in contemplation, and which seemed to them to justify the struggle iu which they were engaged.’ The poetry of a war period has, and always will show with what spirit the popular mind regards the course of events. The details of history do not always, or even often show the animus of the action, but in poetry, the emo tional nature is found declaring itself without re gard to the political or historical aspect of events and which, most frequently gives the true one and color to the great historic pictures of the pe riod. We do not propose to make any extracts from these poems, to be appreciated they should be read, nor need they a better introduction to the Southern reader and historian, than merely to say that among the names of the true sons and daughters of song, will be found those of Hape, Ilayne. Thompson, Holcombe, Hike, Hot rod, Willis. Wallace. Mrs. Burroughs, Mrs. M. J. Preston, Julia L. Keys. Mary Tracy, apd oth ers. The very subjects of these poems are full of inspiration and philosophy, and shoW* the historic character of the people to which they belong, for example; “The li.ght, above Wrong; ’ ‘My Soldier brother;’ ‘Our Departed Comrades;' “TheEmpty Sleeve;’’ “Stonewall Jackson;” “Al bert SidneyJohnson;”‘John Tegram;’ “The Bat- tle Ha inbow;” “My Motherland, Ab Inis Opibus- que karate, LiberaJios, 0 Domini;” with many many oilers, sustain the position that, in poetry, there is history. This collection of poems is re ferred to with satisfaction, and with full confi dence that in the language of the distinguished compiler, “not only as highly creditable to the Southern mind, but us truly illustrative, if not justificatory of, the sentiment and opinions with which they have been written.” We may not refer to Southern poetry again in these sketches, and take occasion now to notice with pleasure and admiration a name which I feel that, the high-toned brotherly attachments of the Southern poets will recognize as a peer among the highest, the Her. A. J. Ryan. Who can read without admiration, and deep emotion; “The Conquered Banner;” nor will any deny that the true poet is reflected from the begin ning, throughout to the end, in “A Christmas Carol. The appreciative reader will ever admire Ryan’s beautiful lines commencing. “The waves were weary, and they went to sleep.” Nor can any one by whom the precious tear is even cherished, read with eye unmoistened. The lines to tears, commencing; “The tears that trickle down oar eyes, They do not fall to earth and dry; They soar like angels to the skies; And like the angels, cannot die. Since the termination of the late civil war, we can refer with much satisfaction to the tone and character of Southern literature. When the “Bonnie Blue” flag was folded as a conquered banner, and the cypress draped this ruined emblem, yet the laurel was in bloom to crown the undying, physical, and intellectual energy and moral purity of the South. Her re sources cannot long be cramped, while her in tellectual and moral splendor will shine like the star oi morning. When peace had closed the temple of Janus, many of the educated men of the earth directed their attention to authorship and letters. The result has been the publication of a number of works, on historical and political subjects; on law, and on theological subjects, many of which will take position of great merit, power and in fluence in their department of letters and science. We will proceed to notice the writers and their works, in the order mentioned above. In the historical and political department, an able work was published in 18GG by Edward A. Pollard, entitled, “The Lost Cause.” It is a history of the war of the Confederate States for independence. Mr. Pollard is an able and cultivated writer, educated as an edi tor, long used to the daily, and carefnl exercise of the pen; and was daring the war, editor of the “Examiner,"a prominent paper published at the Confederate capital. This work professes to be drawn from official sources. It gives an acoonnt of the rise and orogress of the lata Southern Confederacy, the campaigns and battles connected with that gi gantic straggle. The author has a true concep tion of the essential elements of history; an ac curate record of facts; the accounts ef public opinion existing with them; and the lessons moral and political their oentext should convey; » work on this principle is history and the phi losophy of history. Indeed, we consider the author of the ‘Lost Cause,’ an able, philosophic and eloquent writer of histora. Many of his Dersonaiities we object to, yet in his history of m^^and events we Relieve him as accurate as the records and documents to which he had ac- «r. -da. Mrt.iy.oJ events tathe beginning of hostilities, ne narrates carefully and accurately. He is eminently true in his position, that nothing is more plainly taught in history than the limited value of the federal principle, and as he remarks, the experiments at different times in the world’s history, prove it, and re fers to the history of the Amphiteyonic Coun cil, the Archasan League, the United Provinces of Holland, the Republic of Mexico, that of Central America, of Columbia, and the Argen tine republic, to show how they had become ex tinct, or passed into consolidation or anarchy. The remarks on pages 23-4, on this subject are historically and philosophically true. He does not, however, pursue his remarks to a sufficient ccuclusion in relation to the inevitable tendency of the national government, under the opera tions of the constitution of the United States, a topic we will not discuss in these papers; but the careful observance of the philosophy of events, and of the character of our constitu tional national government can scarcely fail to conclude that its tendency is to consolidation and that consolidation will come constitutional ly. The rights of the States will be over whelmed, in constitutional majorities, in favor of amendments, and bv the weakness of the Su preme Court of the United States, in solving the constitutionality of important statutes, by the pretences so common to the demagogue, those of expediency. We will not digress to illustrate the facts, alas so apparent in many opinions from the Justices of the Supreme Court, iu the many cases before that court since the war. Nor can we at this time discuss how visible is the truth that the people of the United States are daify acknowledging the fact, that the Constitution per se, by its own motive power is developing consolidation, as exercise daily de velops the muscular strength of the laborious and active man, or beast, Whenever the con stitution is assailed rightfnlly, or wrongfully, its necessity for self-protection, in every act of self-defense makes it stronger and stronger. The defects of the administration at Rich mond financially and in relation to the army, are presented in very decided terms, and in some respects treated in a masterly manner, for can there be much doubt as to the defeat of the cause of the Confetler^sy being in a large meas ure, if not entirely, attributable to weak and impolitic legislation, from which the Chief Exe cutive and Cabinet are not free from full and_ equal censure. The allusions made to Mr. Pollard’s treat ment of the manner of managing the Cod feder ate currency, and of Confederate legislation on any questions, are historical, and will so re main; but let us even do justice to officers and soldiers who come so faultlessly out of the grand struggle. And as the strife is ended, let every section stand in fraternal relations, so cially as well as politically, and remain in har mony as a nation as long as the Constitution and the public morality of the people, in offi cial as well as in private station, will permit. ‘The War between the States, is the title of a very able work on the late civil war, by Al exander H. Stephens, a title by no means ex pressive of the home of the parties to the con test, nor accurate in a historical or philosophic sense. The name, however, does not impair its beauty nor its force. The work was at once welcomed among scholars, statesmen and ju rist, and universally recognized as the produc lion of a master miud. The long political life of the author, and his great public service, characterized by great good sense, sound judgement, learning and wisdom, adorned by unflinching courage and spotless integrity have placed him not only among the most ‘honorable,’ bat the most dis tinguished and highly esteemed of the statesmen of America, and now, for his many virtues, ‘be loved and cherished by high and low.’ In early life a member of the U. S. ,House ofTteproheutatives; for many years, aid un til the secession of the State of Georgia, a Uni ted States senator; on the organization of the Confederate States Government, elected Vice President of the Confederate States Government; on the termination of the war, for a while a prisoner and then released, he retired to pri vate life, but not to rest or ease; amidst the classic shades of ‘Liberty Hall’ he pursaed his favorite literary, political and scientific studies. Surrounded by his large, and choice library and cheered by his association of fond and lov ing kmured and friends he produced the learn ed and able work we now briefly, and imper fectly notice. Struggling with disease, but laboring earnestly, incessantly, and successful- ; ly with a genius refusing to sympathise with j the infirmities of the flesh, and soaring beyond ! the touch of earthly ills, he completed a work | on which the lame of any American might rest with triumphant satisfaction. For the last few years Mr. Stephens has been a member of the U. S. Heme of Representatives. He is a man of learning, of wisuom, of genius; is universally esteemeu, and where known beloved, for he has those qualities without which the most dis tinguished are destitute of greatness; unflinch ing ccuiage, purity of purpose, and unyielding fidelity to moral principles, to justice, to truth. The work in two large volumes, G5i 827 pages presents a constitutional view of the war between the states, its causes, character, con 'd uct and results. It is written in a series of colloquies. This manner of treating subjects of : a grave character, is without precedent in this j country. In ancient history, Plato and Cicero, i made it classical and illustrious, and so lar as I we are informed there has been no successful effort at the colloquial style in Eugland since the days of “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” the great allegorical peem by John Banyan. We make no criticism on the form of composition adopt ed by the author. While it may not be preferable in historical works, or didactic essays, it has been so judiciously and elegantly used by the! modern Plato that it cannot be liable to the ob- ■ jections that could be successfully raised against i less accomplished, judicious and careful writers j and thinkers. Verily the reader is thankful to the accomplished writer not only for introduc ing him to the classic Portico, at ‘Liberty Hall,’ but for reviving the pleasant reminescences of the ancient Porch and Grove, so intimately in terwoven with the academic labors of earlier and happier days. Judge Bynum, from Massachusetts, repre sents the Radical branch of the Republican party. Major Heister, from Pennsylvania, the War Democrats, while Mr. Stephens represents those views which present a consideration of the constitutional views of the late war between the States ot “the Union,” known as the “Uni ted States of America,” embracing “the causes, the chaaacter, conduct and result of this war, in relation to the nature and character of the joint-government of those States; and of its effects upon the nature and character of this government, as well as of its effects upon the separate governments, constitutions and gen eral internal institutions of the States them selves. ” This is the position of Mr. Stephens, and em braces the task he assumes in the colloqny. The author is the chief talker, and we ask him to excuse us for remarking that neither Judge Bynum nor Mayor Heister** is equal to the re sponsibility of conducting a debate with the Georgia Senator. We have never seen a more concise, yet com prehensive deposition of the true intent of the purposes of history than is embraced in the following sentence: “The chief usefulness of all history consists in the lessons it teaches, in properly estimating the compound result of the action of the prin ciples of any system of government upon ha- man oonduct, and the oonnter-aotion of human conduct upon those prinoiples, in effecting those moral and political changes which mark the type as well as the progress of civilization, at all times, and in all countries.” Introduction to “The war of the Stales," p. 7. This is an elaborate, yet very plain sentence; it is full of thought, carefully, but simply ex pressed, and contains all that pertains to history, and the philosophy* of history. The educated reader, the student, ficcustomed to think deeply on the problem of human events, will constantly recognize the thoughtful cast of the writer’s miud. Everything about the work indicates maturity; all of its fruit is ripe. The manner in which Mr. Stephens has pre pared and finished bis work, fully illustrates that he was vitalized by the idea expressed iu the sentence quoted above from the introduc tion . That the reader may understand the scope, and the full, as well as the minute purpose of the author; we again quote from the introduc tion, which, is iu itself a paper of great force and wisdom, and opens to the reader like a splendid reception hall of some vast and mag nificent dwelling. The general scope of the work is intended to embrace: First. An inquiry into the nature of the Gov ernment of the United States, on the nature of that Union which exists between the States un der the Constitution,with the causes, or conflict of principles, which led to a^resort to arms; and the character of the war, thtt»: inaugurated. Secondly. The conduct ot the war on both sides, so far as it effected constitutional prin ciples with its final results upon the organic structure of the entire system of American Dem ocratic Free Institutions. Introduction p.p., 12, 13. A careful study of the Stephens work will sat isfy the reader that the authpr has covered the entire ground in the above programme. The first part ‘of the subject is embraced in the first volume, and is a very able, true and just exposition of the many points of constitutional history—political and legal of the United States Government. The second part; “The conduct of the war on both sides,” is generally conceded to be accu rate and just. We do not propose a critical review of the work, such a task would involve an elaborate esssy. Yet wa cannot fully agree with our au thor in his criticisms of the inherent safe guards of the constitution against consolidation, it was the effort and purpose of the framer of this government to perpetuate the principles of this government under the shield of state sov ereignty, but the inherent power of sell-protec tion on the part of the national government has rendered the shield of State sovereignty pervi ous to the mighty, imperial lever of constitu tion. If the constitution wai designed to be sole and self-poised like the sun iu the Heavens and to be the centre of a solar political system, unlike that of the heavenly bodies, the ceutri- fugal and centriputal forces were not equally balanced. Empire or disintegration is the fate of this compound government, and the tenden cy. practically and legally is to the former. The government of the United States is held together only by mutual forbearance, and a com- i mou interest which all sections now fear to dis turb, and while passion slumbers self-interest will protest. The work of Mr. Stephens has been subject ed to many severe criticisms from abla pens, among the reviewers are Dr. A. T. Bledsoe, Judge Nicholas, Mr. Curtis, and Mr. Horace Greeley. A careful examination of their views will satisfy the stadent of philosophic history that they fail in their strongest points of attack on Mr. Stephens, while some of them are perceptibly, and potestlv unjust. Id 1872 Mr. Stephens- a verj able, caustic, yet very just critique, on his review ers : ‘The Reviewers Reviewed!*? It must have been thoroughly cuisant on* his assailers. It is a supplement to ‘The War Between the States.’ It also has an appendix in review of ‘Recon struction,’ as the author says on the title page, ‘so called.’ We desire to say but little in relation to these reviewers, but they are items in Southern liter ature. Dr. Bledsoe’s is characteristic. The Dr. is an uncommonly able man, and very learned ; but his i \ ;e Is r. queatly impaired by the violence of liis feelings, while it is often apparent that prejudice warps his otherwise great logical powers into the most ingenious sophistry; in logic he seems to be the master, or perhaps the slave of the petitio principle. Horace Greeley’s review is sufficiently ex posed by Mr. Stephens. lie shows that the adroit editor was also regardless of truth. Curtis confines himself chiefly to defending Webster’s consistency. It may be safely said that the most philosopical review of Mr. Ste phen’s work is from the pen of Judge Nicho las, of Kentucky. The appendix in review of ‘Reconstruction,’ is composed of two speeches of great power, by the Hon. Linton Stephens, brother of the au thor, on ‘Reconstruction,’ and a letter from that enlightened and able patriot, that just and hon est man, Ex-Gov. Jenkins, on the same subject. The niter absurdity as well as the injustice and tyranny of Reconstruction was made apparent by the fact that tsn States in the Union were held under military rule, when not one had ever been out of the Union; and upon the sup pression of hostilities, were in the same relation to the United States Government that they were previous to the commencement of the war. “Secession made no break in the chain."
