  • Camp Parapet: “Contraband” Camp
    Camp Parapet: “Contraband” Camp Enslaved blacks who freed themselves by escaping to Union army camps during the Civil War were called “contraband of war”. Slaves from sugar plantations along the Mississippi made Camp Parapet a “contraband camp” after New Orleans was captured by Union navy and army in the spring of 1862. The camp commander, General John W. Phelps, refused to return runaway slaves to their owners. The planters complained about General Phelps to General Benjamin F. Butler, overall commander of Union troops in the New Orleans area: “My negro sam and his wife Mary left my farm, about 2 miles above Camp Parapet, on the morning of the 19th instant, before daylight…..I called on General Phelps…He could not give any redress, his views on the slavery question are different from any other I ever heard on this subject before.” W. Mitthoff to General Benjamin F. Butler, May 21,1862 “As the President of the Police Jury, Parish of Jefferson, Left Bank (East Bank), I feel it my duty to call your attention to the demoralizing effect on the serving population, not alone of this Parish, but of the whole state, by the course General Phelps adopted in refusing to return our servants.” W. Mitthoff to General Benjamin F. Butler, May 29, 1862 “Seven of my most valuable slaves have been for nearly a month at General Phelps’ camp, and all my efforts to get them back have proved unavailing.” Polycarpe Fortier to General Benjamin F. Butler, June 4, 1862 “ I am informed that two of my slaves, viz: Nancy, a negress, about 35 or 40 years old, and Louisa, a dark griff about 40 or 45 years old, are at the camp of General Phelps above Carrollton.” V.

Possibly we may have some member of the legisla- ture who might abolish all taxes in the years to come and then some future poet in singing his praises may write: "He took the tax away And built for himself an everlasting name." But until Colorado appoints this poet laureate let us resign ourselves to the adage that two things are certain, Death and Taxes. THE LAYMAN'S VIEW OF A LAWYER The chief function of a lawyer is to predict for his client what the court will or would do under given circumstances. Every lawyer knows this; or, if he gives a little thought to the point, will acknowledge it, but the layman views the matter otherwise. Use to him the term "great lawyer" and he sees Rufus Choate before a jury, or Daniel Webster before the Supreme Court of the United States. The picture which he does not see is that before such appearances each of these great men has been consulted and has given his opinion as to what the result will be, is likely to be, or ought to be under the facts as they are detailed to him.

  • Daniel Webster and the West
    DANIEL WEBSTER AND THE WEST' On the supposition that an audience will appreciate a re­ minder of the sequence of significant events in the career of Daniel Webster let us recall these facts: that he was born in New Hampshire on January i8, 1782; that after education at Dartmouth College, he was admitted to the bar in 1805; that he practiced law in New Hampshire, chiefly at Ports­ mouth, until 1817; that meanwhile he served two terms in the federal House of Representatives, from 1813 to 1817; that he removed to Boston in 1817 and thereafter resided per­ manently in Massachusetts; that he was again a Congressman from 1823 to 1827; that he became a United States senator from Massachusetts in 1827; that his service as senator was interrupted by a first term as secretary of state under Harri­ son and Tyler from 1841 to 1843! that he became senator again in 1845, ^"d again interrupted such service by becoming secretary of state under Fillmore in 1850; and that he died while holding that office in October, 1S52. At least a general knowledge of his well-known career as a great lawyer, a surpassing orator, an industrious legislator, an adroit diplomat, an expounder and defender of the constitu­ tion, an outstanding exponent of nationalism, author of the still reverberating phrase, " Liberty and Union, now and for­ ever, one and inseparable," is assumed in the present discussion of Daniel Webster's relation to the West and its problems. Daniel Webster was born just at the close of the Revolu­ tionary War into a family of adventurous and hardy pioneers who lived on the then frontier of New Hampshire facing a wilderness extending northward through unbroken forests to settlements on the Canadian St.
