From a German.
FonsYTtr, September 5,1870.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger :
Aware of your having-taken a neutral:
ground Cor your editorials respecting the j
war raging now in Europe, I would ask j
your favor fib publish some remarks, which j
1 desire to make in behalf of my country-1
men abroad, who on occasion of taking j
sides with the combatting parties, ire fre- j
quently exposed to remarks of prejudice
on account, of their having taken up arms i
against slavery. I think myself that the j
American people ought to feel grateful to- j
wards France while recollecting the part
they took in the struggle for American lib
ertyb But, many who actually don’t know
yet whicli of the parties is to be blamed
lor having throught, on this war, seem to
be guided in their sympathy solely by their
prejudice against the Germans. It is to
those I wish to show that the Germans R
the North felt themselves justified to fight,
against the South. To explain this last I
am obliged to speak first of myself. I was
born in Germany, where I had the advan
tage of a liberal education, yet all my
knowledge of Southern institutions I re
ceived by no other means bnt from read ng
books in the style of the celebrated “ Mrs.
Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” etc. I re
member well that at that time I wished to
skin every slaveholder alive. For years
Germany was overrun with illustrated
pamphlets, books, nourishing, I may say,
with the mother milk, the rr.ost awful im
aginations about Southern institutions.
Thus for years hypocritical England,
with her very apt scholars, the Yankees,
were busy like bees to prejudice the rather
sentimental mind of the Germans against
the Southern people of the United States,
while not oue voice was raised against the
shameful falsehoods circulated in every in
habited corner of the Continent.
When I confess that on my first coming
to the South I expected to see the slaves
not otherwise but in chains, with hounds
at their heels, I give but a faint idea of
wliat the masses of my countrymen be
lieved.
Imbued with such impressions as to the
Southern institutions, I would ask i-f emi
grants remaining at the North had ever a
chance to listen to better teachings? Never.
On the contrary, they were strengthened in
tfieir belief by the wily Yankee, who , by this
time . gave ample proof what he did mean by
fighting for the Union. While I have no
doubt that there are many at the North
not to be included in the latter remark, it
is a well known fapfc that those who affect
ed a sincere sympathy with the negro, in
order to stimulate still more the foreigner
to serve their foul purposes, are either
original slaveholders or their descendants,
enjoying the luxuries of wealth, to which
the sale of their former slaves laid the
foundation.
Can any qne still feel all the hatred to
wards Germans who fought against the
South, demonstrated as I have their mis
conceived principles, while those at the
South, entirely cured of their former im
pressions by their experiences, fought for
the South ?
Myself have served in her army from the
first to the last. I did lose everything,
while many of my countrymen died noble
on the battle-field. I feel still the sting of
a mean conqueror, and confess that the
South is subdued worse than Any other
country, by an overwhelming brute force.
To nse an old saying, “ Every dog has his
dav;” but truth, iustice and honesty will,
some time, take again the lead in our gov
ernrhentnl affairs. In the meantime, our
best weapons for redress will be our indus
trial and agricultural prosperity.
To this aim we might afford to becharita
ble enough to let the past be past, and the
time will be not far off when the skill and
industry of my countrymen will do a great
deal to enrich the vast but idle lying lands
of our country.
