THE AMEfMCES DAILY TIMES-RECOUDER: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1*91.

NORTHEN. the human voles could not be beard from Maryland to Tessa-wfatfe on the threshold of nearly every liotute in Mew England stands a son, seeking, with troubled eyes, some new land in which to carry his modest patrimony, the strango fact remains thst In 1880 the sonth had fewer northern born citizens than she had In 1870—fewer In 1870than In 1800. Why is this? Why is it, sir, though the sectional line be bat a mist tbut the breath may dispel, fewer men of the north have crossed it over to the sonth than when It was crimson with tho best blood of tho republic, nr even when the slaveholder stood guard e\*cry Inch of its way7 There cun bo but one answer. It is the very problem which we nro now to consider. The key that opens that problem will unlock to the world the fairest half of this republic and free the halted feet of thousands whoso eyes are al ready kindling with its beauty. Hotter than this, it will open the hearts of brothers for thirty years estranged, and clasp in lasting com- rodeshipa million hands now withheld in doubt. Nothing, sir, but this problem and the sum* picions it breeds hinders u clear understanding and a perfect union. Nothing else stands be tween ns and such love as bound Georgia and Msssachusotts at Valley Forgo and Yorktown, chastened by tho sacrifices of Manassas and Gettysburg, and Illumined with the coming of better work and a nobler destiny t’. an wns ever wrought with the sword or sought at the cannon’s mouth. The peroration of this speech was per haps the passage in all his work which will live the longest. He was speaking of the great race problem, and in closing he said: The love we feel for that race you cannot measure nor comprehend. Awl attest ft here, the spirit of tfcjr old black mamtny, from her home up there, looks down to bless, and through tho tumult of this night etcab the eweet xnusio of her croonlngs as thirty year*ago the held me in her black arms and led me smiling into sleep. This scene vanishes as I speak, and 1 catch a vision of an old Suutkerir'iltnns, with its lofty pillars and Its white pigeons flattering down through the golden air. 1 see women With strained end anxious faces, and ehlldren a^erti Jet helpless. 1 see night come down with ilk dangers and its apprehensions,and in a big. homely room 1 feel on my tired bead the touch of loving hands—now worn and wrinkled, but fairer to me yet than the handd of mortal woman, and stronger yet Co lead than the hands of mortal man—as they lay** mother’s blessing there, while at her knefe-»the truest altar I yet have foand—I thank Ggi^Jhat she is because her • slaves, sen-/ . or guardjtt her chain block man’s loyalty between vision. The crisis of battle —a soldier struck, staggering, fallen. I see a slave, scuffling through the smoke, winding his bUek arms about the fallen form, reckless of hurtling death, bending hie trusty face to catch the words that tremble on tho stricken lips, so wrestling meantime with agony that be would lay down hla life in hie master’s stead. 1 see him by the weary bedside, minis tering with uncomplaining patience, praying with all hie bumble heart that God will lift hie master ap until death comes in mercy and In honor to still the soldier’s agony and seal the soldier’s life, I eee him by the open grave, mate, motionless, uncovered, suffering the death of him who in life fought against his freedom. less him, when the mound Is heaped and the great drama of his life is closed, turn away, and with downcast eyes and uncertain step start out into new and strongs fields, fal tering, struggling, bat moving on, until hie shambling figure Is lost in the light of this better and brighter day. And from tbs grave oomes a voloe, sayfrg: “Follow him! Put your arms about him In his need, even as he pat his about me. Be hie friend se he woe mine.** And oat Into this new world—strange to me as to him, daxxling, bewildering both—I fol- low! And may God forget my people—when they forget those! A mighty duty, sir, a mighty Inspiration im pels every one of as tonight to lose In patriotic consecration whatever estranges, whatever di vides. We, sir, are Americans, and we eland for human liberty! The uplifting force of the American Idea is under every throne on earth. France, Brazil—these are our victories. To re deem the earth from kingcraft and oppression, this is our mission! And we shall not fail. God hoe sown In our soil the seed of his millennial harvest, and he will not lay the sickle to the ripening crop until hie fall and perfect day hoe come. Our history, sir, has been a constant and expanding miracle from Plymouth Bock and Jamestown all the way—ay, evoa from the hour when, from the voiceless and trackless ocean, a new world rose to tho sight of the in spired Bailor. As we approach the fourth cen tennial of that stupendous day—when the Old World will come to marvel and to learn amid our gathered treasures—let us resolve to crown the miracles of our pest with the spec tacle of a republic, compact, united. Indissolu ble In the bonds of love, loving from the lakes to tho golf, the wounds of war healed in every heart as on every hill, serene and resplendent at the summit of human achievement and earthly glory, blazing ont the path and mak ing clear the way np which all the nations of the earth must oome in God's appointed time! It was is the course of this New Eng land trip, at the close of 1880, that he in curred the illness which proved fatal. After addressing the Boston merchants bespoke before the Bay State club, and then went to Plymouth Bock, where he made a talk in the open air in Deoea*. bar. He was suddenly attacked there wHh a severe case of pneumonia. He returned at once to Atlanta, sad despite few days. Hia funeral occurred on Christ- zmxawae— fart vitie* wen entirely throughout the city to all cl mm. of people mm morning unm mgnt on ton day. The Terr fact of Christmas festivities being .impended in . southern commu nity is sufficient evidence of the esttma- tiun in which he was held by liis fellow townsmen; bnt much more evidence fol lowed.

Tliis Borrow did not expend itself in word*, spoken or printed, it was felt that it mint lake an enduring form, and on the day foll.wing his death the young men of Atlanta held u meeting to take some step toward erecting a monu ment to their deceived associate. In a few days the Grady Monument association was organized and Chair man Charles 8. Northen of the first meeting wns nnanimously chosen presi dent; W. P. Hill, vice president: Clark Howell, secretary, and T. A. Hammond, treasurer. Mr. Northen is still a young man. having been born in Hancock county, Ga., in 1880. He spent his childhood there and in Houston county, where he attended a high school, bnt in 1871 he went to Atlanta and fonnd employment in a wholesale grocery firm on Alabamn street Before he was fnirly grown dp be was a member of the firm which bad employed him, and which was then known ns Smith, Porter & Northen. Mr. Northen is now special agent of the Equitable Insurance company. He is a nephew of Governor Northen, and was somewhat instrumental in the nomi nation and election of his uncle, having been intrusted with the management of the latter's state campaign. Mr. Nor then takes considerable interest in state, oountyadd municipal poKticn, and is at present chairman of the executive com mittee of tho Young Men’s Democratic leagnu of Fnlton county. With this young man and bfs associate officers ut the head of a movement which was enthusiastic from the beginning, the happiest results have been realized. The association having formulated a plun of action and announced it to tho world, a statement w;ts made that the Henry W. Grady Monument association would, until thirty days after the death of Mr. Grady, receive voluntary contribu tions for the purpose already told. No subscriptions were to be solicited. Free will offerings only were desired. Before sunset on the day this action of the association was made pnblic, over $8,000 was poured into the treasury by the citizens of Atlunta. The news wus heralded over the country, and at once telegraphed subscriptions wero received from the northeast, the northwest, from everywhere. Boston gave a handsome sum. New York forwarded a large contri bution. From faraway in a little village in the Rocky mountains was mailed a gift, with the words that the immortal Grady’s influence had penetrated the backwoods. Among the last donations wired waa $500 from Tammany Hall.
