What a proper and truthful act it would be ! SAMUEL A. GODDARD. May 6, 1865. The article which Mr. G. Refers to, from the Iron Age, N. Y. , April 20, 1865. THE BARBARISM OF SLAVERY We do not say, nor do we think, that Davis and Breckinridge, Benjamin, Hunter and Stephens and the other prominent leaders of the rebellion, either procured or sanctioned the murder of the President. On the contrary, we doubt not its occurrence has caused them terror and confusion. But this is not because of any mora...l complexion to this guilt from which these men would shrink, but because they know how to calculate its dire effects upon themselves and their evil cause. But these men are none the less responsible for the fearful crime. It is the natural result of all their teachings, the fittest illustration of the bar barism of slavery of which they are the advocates, even in the moment of its 494 EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS GODDARD 21 death. The spirit that for years asserted a brutal terrorism in the South, de bauching the morals and debasing the conscience of an entire people, so that the filthiest crimes were committed not only without remorse, but without effort at concealment; the spirit that nerved the arm of Brooks to strike down Sumner with an assassin s purpose, and then palliated or justified the act; the spirit that controlled the rebel conduct of the war from the very first, that sanctioned the massacre of Fort Pillow and ordered the slow tortures of Libby Prison; the same spirit of unscrupulous tolerance of brutal violence, of fiendish hate, was manifested in Booth, the last champion and defender of slavery, when he mur dered the beloved President of the United States.
