Wo .'Cild riot discover him. hut the Zmn Kirg «sve ns a very wicked nnd familiar leer iu OsorgU IMpssdssUisA One of the most amusing features to be found In tbe columns of many of our Northern exchanges Is the standing asser tion tbst Independentlsm is upon the eve of overwhelming this State, and absorb ing the assets, without waiting for a dis tribution at tbe hands of the lawful offi cer usually appointed alter a demise. The idea permeates tbe Republican division ot tbe press, and is more distinctly marked, tho further off it Is found. Thus while around about New York it appears that tbe victory of Independentlsm over organ ized Democracy js assured; away In the far Northwest the victory is already being celebrated and anthems sung. Independ ent stock, to adopt a financial method of speech, which is ninety-eight per cent, below par in Georgia, In the immediate North fluctuates along about the seventies' In Illinois, ninety Is asked and given, while In Michigan it is above par, and held as a permanent investment. It will be seen that 11s course Is very much like Colorado mining stock, which grows In vtlue as it travels, until an an touched claim in the mountains, whose whereabouts out there is unknown, be comes a bonanza of the first degree by the time it reaches Boston. All thtoM due to the American hurrah plan, am^pnds to keep the political and financial markets active, to say nothing of tbe broken. Bat it is not of this kind of independent- ism we propose to speak. There is another “lead” under that name which is growing upon its own merits, and of which oar contemporaries North know bnt little. We refer to the vein of true independ- entism, which is cropping out through the rock and the ihale and earth- To develop this vein is one of the leob . laid out for itself. We will not rest nor cease to labor until we see the people independ ent in alt that goes to make up true inde pendence. Democratic, w e see In organ ization the only method of opposing the meat dangerous organization known to the history of this Country; tbe only method of upholding and perpetuating tho prindpk i of Democracy. At the same time tbe fight for these priflbiples must be open, relentless and fearless. Wo have no sympathy with tbe cringing policy which panders to any class of people or clique of leaders, either to gain political power or worldly profit. The people have been too ready and willing to listen to every upstart journalist or politician who comes amongst them from tbe North ■welled with self-importance, and ■ to swallow their advice because of policy. Within the last six or eight months it has transpired that public speakers as de scribed, have appeared before Georgia audiences asd while paying them a few sugar-coated compliments, have alczed the occasion to ram down the throats of the people travesties and criticisms contempt ible and unwarranted. It has reached tbe pass, that in some sections the people are told that to Northern pluck and energy is due the State’s development for the last filtccn years; that to these two causes held up before tbe eyes of the people as gods, they must look for ail of the progress yet to come; and they are taught to bend the knee to them in supplication for aid and succor. We are ashamed to admit it, but to all of this rot but few de nials have been returned and fewer pro tests. Tho Slate but recently lias been favored with the spectacle of a high-standing journal publishing the letter of a traveling liar, who liad openly mallgaed the people, and refusing, when criticized, to refute the slanderous article it had given circu lation, thereby giving it a tacit cndotsc- rcfciit. A course that makes slander profitable, aud encouiages falsehood. We have this to say tor Georgia. The State stands second to none in tho South ern galaxy. With its rich lands and bid den wealth of minerals, :t has a future of unlimited possibilities before it, and noth ing in its past to blush for. Tbe people are hold and energetic. Its thriving cities, growing industries and general prosperity are due to tbe pluck and energy of her own people, who defended the soil until their chosen leaders commanded peace, aud accepted the conditions imposed by tho victors. Enterprising, honest men they welcome amongst them, come they frpm any - section or country under the sun, guaranteeing them tho political and social rights they are entitled to, come thoy with or without capital. But they do not exalt these comers into phi lanthroplats, nor tiiolr coming luto neces sities. If they come at all they do ao for personal alms and profit; what the State is she has made herself, wliat she will be, she expects to make herself. Those who are in her borders, wliito or black, have equal rights under tho law and courts in which to maintain them. To no class doeasho guarantee aught on account of race, condition or anything else, more than the law gives them. There Is not now, nor will there, ever be any division of property or office among the races, because of race. The government is in the hands ot white men because they created and have sustained it. They built tho cities, de veloped tbe country and created the In dustries, and thoy propo’o to hold them by right of superior power and intelli gence. Whenever the negro race readies an intelligence, aud a development sufli- dent to cnablo it to lawfully wrest these things Irom thoic who hold them, It may tako possession peaceably, but until that hour comes, this will ho a white man’s State. Theao aro trullis and there con be no policy so vitally Important as to hush them. Thoy are the golden foundations to whldi leads tins vein ot independence, which politicians, and tosomoextent, tho press have so long partially covered with earth. It may bo that this line of thought and such declarations will not suit that branch of Democracy which lies toward tho North. We caro little whotber it does or not. That branch haa cot lulled us. To a solid South it has brought Ncrthorn di visions; to Southern promptness and courage It has joined hesitation and cow ardice. In tho future lot It dress on our poslitou; wo can no longer afford to dis order our front by dressing on unsteady lines. Whether wo suit tho other party, we care less. Goorgia is perfectly able to take care ot itself, and porfoctiy willing. Her strength lies in hortelf and her peo ple. Let tho prose teach this and culti vate the true independence. Tub course of troo lovo never dots run smooth. The young mnn who Is *pnrkintf Queen Vio's gal is linving hie bliss delayed. A cablegram soys: “When inWnldockhU royal highnesi accidentally kiokod against a root wliilo walking nnd sprnlnod Ills right knoe.

If any one has attempted to commit him beyond this in any way, we have tbe highest reason for tbe statement that it bos been done without warrant or authority. Esllsblealas a Cou temporary “Free Toads in Colleges.”—Under this bead the Macon Telegraph complains: “No effort is made to placobefore tho student erthm. both sides ot the The magnificent I tne nt arguments uttered' by leading statesmen In Congress, tho terrible array ot events and sta tistics. ths coMMtrcisl histors of th s country notcut the height of prosperity under a pro - tective tariff-all these are neglected, and the dull, exploded maxims of theorists substi tuted.” The italics aro ours. They show where tho Telegraph begs the whoio question. The country might be more prosperous, snd such great prosperity as it has is In despite ot the op pressive tariff. The "commercial history” of the country will show that under the protec tive laws our merchant marine has dwindled to insignificance, while tho apparent success ot the manufacturers of the country has been purchased at the expenso ot agriculture and commerce. The farmers are, of course, the greatest sufferers, as tho purchasing power ot their crops Is reduced from 33 to 00 per cent bv tho tariff.—Charleston News and Courier. The course of the Charleston Newt and Courier hasbeenaimllarto that of several of our prominent Georgia contemporaries who have essayed to settle tbe great ques tion of the day. Starting upon a free trade doctrine, it has, by unanswerable logic, argued itself over to protection. Not that we believe our contemporary fully realizes where It stands, or exactly how it reached there; hut the fact re mains, and will bo more fully demon strated to its own dissatisfaction when the retrograde movement to tho first position Is fully under way. Wo desire now, since by opposing the reform in colleges pro- Unitod States 62..

In other words we have built in ten years more ocean going stoam tonnage than England bad in 1880, and fonr times as much as we had at that time, much of which, too, was unfit for ocean carrying, Lastly, in the ten years we have built more than one-half as much steam ton nage as was owned in tbe world in 1880. This is what our luminous contemporaiy calls dwindling. Tbe building of the fleet has reduced tbe freight rates in coasting trade nearly filly per cent, since 1870, and our coasting fleet is superior tn the steam fleet of any connty except Eog- Iand As this development bu exceeded the success of manufacturing Interests, what becomes of tbe assertion that the mxnu factoring Interests have thrived at the ex- penae of commerce? Nor have these in terests, os charged, thrived at the expense of agriculture. Let us sec. Our produc tion of cotton has Increased from 4,823,- 770 bales in 1850 to 0,580,320 m 1880; corn, from 638,702,740 bushels in 1850, to 1,754,440,435 In 1870; wheat, from 173,- 104,024 in 1850, to 450,887,043 bushels in 1870; wool, from 00,000,000 In 1861, to 232,50u,000 in 1870. Exports have in creased as follows: In tbe fiscal year 1850 we exported 1,386,738,675 pounds of cot ton; in 1831, 2,101,078,712 pounds. In 1859,1,710,008 bushels of corn; in 1881, 01,008,175 bushels. In 1859, 3,002,010 bushels of wheat; in 1881, 150,505,477 bushels. The statistics of the country show that eighty-five per cent, olthe gross amount BcTHEsroRD B. deposited his ballot at tho late election in Fremont, Ohio, square against bock bter.

It row u nuu the Itlate Canvass. We are at liberty to atato that all re ports connecting Gov. Brown with auy aspirant or aspirants for office in the coming State canvass, aro utterly without foundation. Ho lias been in no caucus, conference, combination or movement of any kind looking to <tlie advancement of any person to official position. We havo reason to know, that iu common with all men, who regard the welfare ot tbe State as above tho ambition cf tbe individual, he only desires that tbe De- out tbe position to which it has brought Itself unaided. A few days since we clip ped from tbe News and Courier, this par agraph : tVc all know that absolute free trade at this time is out of the question, bccauso tho govern- meut needs a larger revenue than can be re cused by Internal taxation, by any plan which is now popular. By tho very terms of the question there can be no free trade, other than absolute free trade. Tho instant a restriction is laid upon any article, whether for revenue or for protection, free trade Is destroyed. Free trade is a theory which, if true, must be true in every part. That policy which allows a restriction upon one ai tide, for any purpose whatever, is not founded uptn free trade, but upon trade expedi ency. If, then, in the language of our contemporary, “free trade is out of the question because of tbe necessities of our government,” the INetcs and Courier has abandoned free trade, or professes to ad vocate what it acknowledges Is anim possibility. No senslblo man can believe that tho leading journal of the Carolinas has any idea of adopting the latter course. In the criticism which heads this ar ticle, our cotnemporery is voiy positive that tho protective tariff is oppressive, and there being but one other position left for him to cling to, we fiud him an advocato of a tariff for revenue ouiy. It will be seen that in defining our contemporary’s position, wo have assumed but one ihiDg only, aud that is that he occupies any po sition at all. We might have located him in a more direct manner by simply asking why, if “free trade is out of the question,” does he oppose our recommen dation that the colleges cease teaching it, but wo did not caro to await his answe or confuse him. Having located onr friend, let us now examine tbe foundation of somo of his utterances. Ia the first place there hav ing been no denial of onr statement con cerning the college evil, it is difficult to seo where there exists any question to bo begged. Our charge was that “no effort Is made to place before the student both sides of the question,” and until there is some doubt raised by a denial there can be no room for discussion. Any argu ment our contemporary chooses to ad vance concerning protection can only be regarded as an effort to avoid the force of the statement, if made before issue is joined, or as an effort to dodge the ques tion afterwards. Wo point out these facts not became wo havo any desire to over look tho enthusiastic assertions made from thodorooof our contemporary’s newly chosen position, but as an indication of our iuteution to hold him to logical meth ods and common senso rules. Tho first break mado in his rash away from tbe subject, is to the effect that the country might be more prosperous, and such .greal prosperity as it has is in de spite of tho oppressive tariff. This is begging an entirely new question, and it would be a wasto of space to argue upon possibilities. No man can reason intelli gently except from somo known basis. He can build a castle to tho clouds, but it must rest ou something. If our contempo rary will say that reasoning from the con dition of .the country when a tariff for revenue ruled, that the country now would bo more prosperous than it is, we will argue tho proposition, bnt with mere guesses we canuot afford to deal. But our contemporary at last conde scends to be positive in bis language aud make a definite assertion. “Tho commer cial history of our country will show that under the protective taws our merchant mariuo has dwindled to insignificance, whilo tho apparent success of tho manu facluresof tbe country has been pur chased at the expenso of agriculture and commorce.” It Js clear to our mind that tho ablo hlstoriau of the Newt has gotten tho merchant marlno mixed up with the American navy. Either that, or some one has passed a|comlc almanac on him for a commercial history. Tho United States to-day has a bolter fleet than it ever had before. Wo build more ships than any nation in tho world oxcopt Euglaud, and havo reduced tho cost to within twelve per cent, of what it is Englaud, aud that too without reducing American labor. The history of tho world does not thqw so vast a devel opment as that of our coasting trado in the last ten years. It lias exceeded, un der protection, even the unparalleled suc cess of our manufacturing Industries, which the Netcs says flourish at the ex pense of the marlno commerce. Counting he contracts already In hand to ho com pleted by I8S2, in the ten years from 1872, we have built one huudred and twenty iron icrew ships, of a’touuago of 280,000 tons. We have also built twenty-five wooden screw steamers of 27,503 tons, a total for our coasting and foreign trade of nearly 200,000 tons, 230,000 oflt Iron steamships. Tills, while in 1870, there did not exist in this country the facilities lor building such an Iron ship as we re value is exported that ninety per cent, of the entire agricultural products of the country is consumed at home. This large home consumption is rendered pos sible only by- the immense purchasing power of the masses of this country, the result of that protective policy that keeps them employed at good wages. Stop the protected industries of the country and drive the labor thus employed into agriculture, which all English free traders advise, thus destroy ing the demand upon the present agricultural interest for supplies of food for this iarge class, and force upon the export demand the surplus products of agriculture thus created, and the com petition would at once make the price ot a|l exports just so much lower than at present. No class of people in America have been benefited more by protection than the agriculturists, as reference to the statistics will show. Not only has the production been overwhelmingly in creased, but higher prices aro obtained for them, and lower prices paid for manufactured goods. The man ufactures do not flourish at tbe ex pense of agriculture, as our contemporary charges, and we lay down the proposition that manufactures cannot be protected without protecting agriculture. Tbe re sults of protection in this country have been to reduce tho price of all manufac tured goods, and advance the price of raw materials and larm products of all kinds. Whose la tbe Fault? Our late mails have brought us numer ous complaintzrtrom subscribers who have failed to receflCtkeir papers. The fault is not in this office. A Teleobapu and Messenger is mailed promptly every day of the week, Monday excepted, to each subscriber, S3 our books will show, and when papers fall to reach their addresses, it is for reasons beyond our remedy. Slnco the 1st of January there has been but one occasion when the paper left this office behind mailing time, and the reason for the delay was given in the following ssue. It was an Indianapolis bank officer Need we say more? The Mother Goose renaissanco seems to be general. The potato bug is beoomiog cultured in taste. At present ho is devouring tho Nor folk strawberry. The colored journals of the State are down on tho syndicate, and in favor of Gon. Gartreli. Jack Wharton was not oold in Now Or leans whon Pitkin and Morey were after his old shoos in Washington. The latest testheto contributed to this country by England, is J Umbo, Esq. Ho comes with only one trank. Toe Constitution docs not smilo so andi. bly as it did, but it still doclines to express an opinion as to the trntfi or falsity of “Joylrawker’s” letter. The fire seems to havo gone from ont of Col. Marcelius E. Thornton. We shonld not bo surprised to see the P.-A. gently glido into a religious and litorary weekly. Da. Mart Walker has been tampering witii tho mails, and has gotten herself lockodup in the barracks. Wo always thought the boys would get Mjry into tronblo. We are informed that Col. Albert Cox is “giving it to the Bourbons” away over in Heard. Whon tho Bourbons got through |hilg it io Col. Cox, ho will feel liken piio-drivor had dropped on him. We ooald join the Constitution in a smile at “Jayhawkor’s” letter in an Ohio stal wart organ, but when it appears in Georgia Democratic journal, wo do not ex actly seo where tho laugh comes in. The proof seems to bo>trong that Josao James was a Democrat, but that was no warrant for his assassination. As tho Mis souri penitentiary is filledewilh the other party, perhaps Jesse preferred doath to disgraeo. The Constitution rather boasts that it publishes, without comment, worse slan ders on its patrons and readers than “Jay- hawker’s” lotter. In this tho Constitution is singalar. This feature of journalism is unique, if not admirable. Suiprerd, who is making more money as a witness before a Congressional inves tigating committee, than he is likely to get out of guano, says Blaino “refreshed me as so'many wines.” Blair and Boutwell must have set him up equal nnto a couple of brandy cocktails. About this time of the rear, tho north ern ice men begin to announoe that next summer’s crop will fall below anything known to the trade, and may be worth nintey cents per pound by August. At the same time they go on contracting to deliv er it at 33 rent* per hundred. . > Db. Selhon claims to have found a rear edytotake cholera out of hogs.

We can only say that where there is life there is hope, orwords to that effect. A special reporter of the Court Journal has interviewed Arthur’s coachman. Tho oonntry will bo glad to know that tho oil horso is not as good os the nigh ono. Judge Wxllv, of tho Distriot of Colum bia, decides to force the star route thieve* to trial. Dorsey’s bond has been forfeited and a warrant issued for his arrest; but Dorsey is far away. In scuffling out of tbe way of the “Jay- hawker” letter “Onole Remu*” tripped over on iron cotton tie and fell with a terrible thud. As heroso with tbe dust and lint he swore that Liverpool controlled the cotton markets of the world. On Sunday night last, in Jacksonville, Fla., Miss May Roberts died in want and distress. Her husband, Mr. Butler, was lying dangerously ill at the same time. They were stranded actors of the disband ed Wallace combination. Bill? Mahons proposes to readjast tho University of Virginia. His sympathizers in Georgia seem to have a similar intent toward our State University. The Virginia Beadjuster works with a caucus. His Georgia friend uses a pistol. The mental condition of Guiteau is like, ly to lo tested in the courts. His sister, Mrs. Scoviile, through her lawyer, a Mr. Johnson, ha* applied for a writ “de lnna- tico inquirendo” and prays that she may have custody of his person and effects. It . is announced that Jumbo, the ele phant, is the largest living thing that ever crossed tho ocean alive.

As order was at once restored It was hoped tbst tbe lsw was to be left to take its course, and that the fearful tragedy would fo impress oil of those who might read its details that Georgia might expect to escape a similar horror and disgrace in tho near feature. There were in Athens over one hundred young men, at an age when the hot blood of youth is not liksly to bo tempered by the virtue ot discretion. If, when their comrade and friend was borne to them sorely wounded and bleeding his life away, they had with a common impulse risen and wreaked summary vengeance upon his slayer, no wonderment woald have gone along with tbe distress which the act woald have spread. The provocation waa^reat. It was borne with a fortitude thatTs simply beyond praise. But the lesson seems to have been lost to some of the colored men of the State. As an evi dence of their advance and improvement, the negroes have established several weekly journals In the various cities of Georgia. They could have devised no better plan for the speedy and sate devel opment of their race than the establish ment of these agencies, provide? they were properly conducted. So far as our observation has been di rected to them, they have been edited with fair ability, but.we regret to add in a spirit of extreme partisanship. All the friends of the negro must regret this for the sufficient reason he is in no condi tion to enter into the field of politics in a partisan spirit. Ono of these journals is published in tbe city of Atlanta, and bears the striking and perhaps the nnfor- nate title 77te Defiance. Its editor speaks of the Atlanta University as his alma ma ter, and leaves the presumption that ha hag had over and above tbe mass of bla people, the benefits of education and culture. Journalism opened to him a fine field for the display of bis acquirements, and if ho bad approebed its stern duties In a becom ing spirit, be might have made hlmaelf a worthy and useful leader and exemplar of bis race. We fear that he has misap prehended the duties of his calling. In commenting upon the killing of young Ronntree, he has this to say : Lost Tuesday afternoon, Frank Johnson (col ored) shot and killed Walter Rountree, a stu dent of the State University at Athens. The origin of tho difficulty we have not learned, nor even haa tbe Atlanta Constitution, which speaks In such hitter terms. That paper ad vises students to carry weapons; but we have lean#* quite enough to s* -.te that Rountree, llko the majority ot the young Southern hot heads, think they can kick and cuff every poor negro around without being interfered with; bnt they are sadly mistaken. We have gained Information from reliable sources that Walter Ronntree attacked Mr. Johnson several times with abusive language, and even went so far as to. slap and kick him; and he (Johnson) was forced to offer resistance, which rightly ended in tho death of Rountree. It seems that every times colored man kills a white man, let It be in self-defense or any oth- \ cr way, every Infemat white journal In the State begins war on him, and every epithet snltcd to a brute la applied to tho negro. Mr. Johnson was right, and we arc surrounded with just such devils as Rountree, and moroof them should receive the same blessing. The colored citizens of Athens are not the people to tic trifled with. The mayor of that city ad vises merchan.* to sell fire arms at cost In or der to supply theso hell-deserving devils with weapons to lynch Johnson; bnt tho brave col ored citizens did not give down, but guarded the jail’each night to protect him from theso roughs. We can praise Mr. Johnson forhl* bravery. We give the editorial entire,not to create the resentment its langauge Is calculated to arouse, bat for two reasons. In tho first place, that our readers here and elea where may seo how an educated colored editor conducts his paper in such emergency, and to address a word or two of adylco through him to those who may feel disposed to follow him. It was altogether natural that he should have felt a strong sympathy with the slayer, that he should have accepted bis version of the difficulty. An expression of indignation at tbe time and under the circumstances would not havo been deemed unpardon able. But tho language we have quoted is unjustifiable^ The man who cherishes the feelings which gave it birth Is a bad and dangerous citizen to any community. Ho is an unwise aud incapable leader, and if bis pcoplo follow his teaclnncs they will but march to disaster and death. Ho has overestimated the power of his own people, that of the miserable poli ticians who havo been flattering them for their votes, and, we may properly add, of tho government which he >as been led to think stands witii an army aud navy at his back. There exists no power in human hands anywhere to givo to the negro element of the South tbe political control of this section. Nature has plant ed a social barrier between the white man and tho black man that can never be sur mounted. Tho sooner the editor of tho Defiance acccyts and understands these truisms in their full significance and goes to work to Impress them upon bis people, thq better for him and for them. The writer has no personal feclfog against him or any man of Ids race. He Is one of that class of meu who are being rapidly thinned ont by time, who from association, has a genulno sorrow for tho troubles by which the negro Is environed, and would relievo him from the Influences which aro working to his rulu. But he Is also of that race of men who Intend to hold and control tho social and political destinies of the South as a matter of safety and a matter of right. Wo regret that tho odltor of the Defi ance has takou an unfortunate occasion to show that there was meaning and design In tho namo with which his journal was christened. IIo has put to print aud published language which will be put to tho dtscredh of hlmtolf and ol Ids pojplo. Wo cannot better Illustrate tho real position and sontlmcnts of tho white pcoplo of Georgia, than by saying to him, that if any white man, at sucli a time and under such circumstances, had given expression to such incendiary languages, it ia doubtful if another Issue of his Journal would have found 11s way to tho public.

Emory Speer, ol Athens, and fostered by tho encouragement and pnirouage of the stalwart President of this republic. There Is no question but that these and similar disorders and outrages may be justly ascribed lo political Influences. They are imt confined o Athens or to Georgia. In our own State and city these race antagonisms are frequently made manifest, aud most frequently in the ag gressive conduct of negro childio.r toward white children, frequently forcing the latter to leave the sidewalk and otherwise treating them with rudeness and Indignity, if the negro were not a voter this thing would not !>e so. Certain political parties flourish and exist only by encouraging and keeping alive the unnatural antipathic* between the two races. It is rapidly becoming with the negro a tiling of education, instilled Into him by po litical teachers and taught under his ^rental shelter. The evil must be remedied at its source. Teacher* and parents rnu-t be made to see the terrible future consequence* of this unchecked feeling, and inu--t instill other and better lessons Into the minds and hearts of the next generation. This state of affairs must stop and stop soon.

Whitman oss Longfellow. In tho Critic. Longfellow in his voluminous works seems to roe not only to be eminent in the *tyle and forms pf poetical expression that mark tiie present age (an idiocrasy, almost a sickness, of verbal melody), but to bring what is always dearest as poetry to the general human heart and taste, und probably must be so in the na* ture of things. He is certainly the sort of bard and counteractant most needed for our materi alistic, self-assertive, money-worshiping, .Anglo- Saxon races, and especial I v for the present age in America—an age tyrannically regulated witii reference to the manufacturer, the merchant, the financier, the politician ami the day work man—for whom and among whom ho comes as the poet of melody, courtesy, deference—poet of tiie mellow twilight of tiie past in Italy, G tr- many, Spain and iu northern Europe—poet of all sympathetic gentleness—and universal poet of women and young people. 1 should have to think long if 1 were asked to name the man who lias aone more, aud in more valuable di rection*, for America. I doubt if there ever wa* before such a fine intuitive judge aud selector of poems. Ills translations of many German ami Scandina vian Pieces are said to be bettor than the ver naculars. He docs not urge or lash His Influ ence is iike good drink or air. lie is not tepid,* either, but always vital, with flavor, motion, grace. He strikes a splendid average and does not sing exceptional passious or humanity’s jagged escapade*. He is not revolutionary, brings nothing offensive or new, docs >i.,t deal hard blows. On the contrary, biz songs soothe and heal, or if they excite, li Is a healthy and agreeable excitement. His very anger is gen ■ tie, is at second-hand (as iu "The Quadroon Girl” aud "The Witnesses.”) There is no undue element of jensiveness in Longfellow’s etraina Even in the carlv trans lation, "The Manrique,'' the movement is a* of strong and steady wind or tide holding up and buoying. Death is not avoided through his many theme*, bnt there is something almost winning in his original verses and renderings on that dread subject—as closing "The Hap piest Land" dispute: And then tne landlord's daughter Up lo heaven raised her hand, And said: “Ye may no more contend, There lies the happiest laud." To tiie ungracious complaint-chanre (by Mar garet Fuller many years ago, and several times since) of hi* want of racy nativity aud special originality, 1 shall only say that America and the world may well be reverently thankful— can never be thankful enough—for any such singing-bird vouchsafed out of tin- centuries without asking that the notes bedlflorent from those of other songsters—adding what I have heard Ixiugfeliov* himself sav. that ere the new world cat) be worthily original and announce herself and her own heroes, she must be well saturated with tiie originality of otheu, and re spectfully consider the heroes that lived before Agamemnon. Without jealousies, without mean passions, never did the personalty, eharaeP.-r, dally and yearly life of a poet more steadily and truly as similate his own loving, cultured, guileiew!. courteous ideal, and exemplify it. In tiro world's1 arena he had some special sorrows— but he had prizes, triumphs, recognitions tho Extensive and heartfelt as 1% to-day and haa been for a long while, tbe fame of Longfellow it is1 probable, nav certain, that year* hence it will be w ider and deeper.
