It is quite surprising that eouthern schools of edueation sho leem it wise, expedient or someth ..else to go beyond bur southern clim and enter the city of Boston, state Massachusetts, to obtain for schools the most importabit of books taught our children, that i history of our co'mmon country ropose to review the above worU, adoptcd by our boards of educati and lay bare some of its mislead and untruthful statements and I m say a history should deal only facts as .written by an impartial w er. He has no right, it appears me, to express -his individual oi ion on questions of state while pos: ly a whole nation might. differf] him, as, for instannce, in the righit wrong of the course the south sued in 1861. On page 274, speaking of Calh, and Webster, on the great questiot nullifleation, state rights, etc., it made -to appear Calhoun was a structionist, traitor, etc., while N ster was the very incarnition o truly loyal patriot. He quotes NN ster as saying, iin reply to Calhoi "There can be no secession witl revolution, and we owe an imme debt of gratitude to Webster in i ing the Americain people realize inestimable value of this union, never before. We honor Webster his services.'' This surely implied Calhoun shc be dishonored for upholding si rights, doctrines and nullifying act of congress to our detrimi even should dismemberment folic Some of the wisest men of the tion, even Lincol,n himself, doul the constitution gave him the ri to use the army and navy to coert state back into the union. After several sbates had sece from the union, Horace Greeley, the New York Tribune, the repi can mounthpice and ,the most bi against the south, said in his pn just before the firiig on Sum - '"We have no constitutional righi coerce a state back into the un and let the wayward sisters del in peace." 275. in spPaking of ave law, William H. -1who afterward became se 49y of state i.n Lincoln's eahi while in the senate from New T is quoted as saying: "Above the stitution and the ats of congi there is a higher law, a divine I of justice and freedom, not to ret the fugitive slave to his ownc What is this but nullifying a made by congress and in which supreme court had ejust held sli were propenty and one feelingt non-slave state should be returne, his owvner?
