THE JEW IS MODERN HISTORY." BY BEN J. I. COHEN. The following lecture -was delivered before the Young Men's Hebrew Associ ation at Portland, Or., November 14, by Benj. I. Cohen: Spain, the Sunny home of the olive and the vine, was the chosen abode of Israel's wanderers, long ere the gates of Centa opened to admit the Moorish conquerors. And above all, in Southern Spain had they become the favorites of fortune, where being the principal cultivators of the soil, they had aroused the jealousy and excited the cu pidity of the Goths, who attempted by a series of barbarious decrees, to drive them from the land which their industry han made, to blossom as the rose. The Jewish population of Spain, of Arab descent, trim ul in this dark hour. an appealing glance to their brethren of the Cresent, wnose Danners coma t;e seen to wave and the sound of whose TnnViir n.-n , inr fnnli1 ft! m oftt be heard across the narrow strait which separates si a m t imi Ll ,-,' Spain irom Airica. iub uvbiuuuw Ota rw.hin "Kincrti was as much achieved bv the superior information which the Saracens received from their suffering hv th resistless valor of the desert." Anil then Bhone the dawn of a glorious day for Israel's race. Hand in hand, and heart to heart, with their ifoaUi fvir.Miiy Hiav mounted the lad der of fame. Both alike reared fair palaces and filled the highest offices of ..into WUa lAolinor nhvairiians were Jews. O It . j. ..... .-0 i' ' and grave professors cast abroad the dazzling light of secular science, min gled with the lucent rays 01 Mwmmw lore. An extensive and eniigncea com merce SUPPOBTED THIS SPLENDOB, While noble universities flourished for the benefit of their favored youth. Long after the fall ox the Moorish Kingdoms, the Jews still flourished in Spain, until the increasing strength of the Goths brought with it increase of persecution. Gradually the Jews were deprived of their privileges, or forced to an outward compliance with the Cath olic faith under the title of Auevos Christians. At length the rise of Ferdinand and Isabella, and the intro duction of the fatal Inquisition, sealed their fate. This moral Upas tree first unfolded its leaves at Seville, and three of the fairest names in Spain, the Duke of Medina Sidonia, the Marquess of Cadiz, and the Count of Arcos, were its first victims. The introduction of the Inquisition into Aragon was resisted with all the energy of despair; but alas! evil triumphed over good and its fell talons were again reddened with the blood of the children of the Sun. Fer dinand, in a spirit of madness, the evil effects of which are felt in Spain to this day, determined that its delicious air should no longer be breathed by any who did not profess Catholicism. Baptism or exile were the alternatives. More that 600,000 of the most industrious, the most intelligent, and most enlightened of Spanish subjects, clinging to the faith am their fathers, re signed the delighftul land where in they had resided for centuries, the beautiful cities they had raised, the universities from which Christendom drew for ages its most precious lore, the tombs of their ancestors and the temples where they had worshiped the God for whom they made this sacrifice. They had but four months to prepare for eternal exile, after a residence of as many centuries, during which brief period forced sales and glutted markets vir tually confiscated their property. It is a calamity which the scattered people still ranks with the desolation of Nebuchad nezzar and of Titus. Who, after this, should say that the Jews are by nature A SORDID PEOPLE. But the Spanish Goth, then so cruel and so haughty, where is he? A despised sumiliant to the verv race which he ban ished for some miserable portion of that treasure which their habits of industry have again accumulated. Where is that tribunal which summoned Medina Sidonia and Cadiz to its dark inquisi tion? Where is Spain? Its fall? Its unparalleled and irremidiable fall is mainly to be attributed to the expulsion of that large portion of its subjects, the most industrious and intelligent, who traced their origin to the Mosaic and Mohammedan Arabs." Many, if not the greater portion of these hapless ex iles, sought and found a safe asylum in free Saxon England, where, as in all other parts of Europe, their progress, thoueh silent and slow, was onward ever and upward. Leaping now the gulf of time until we arrive at the early part of the 19th century, we find their then con dition thus portrayed in the glowing Orientalism of Disraeli: "You never observe a srreat intellectual movement in Europe in which the Jews do not largely participate. The first Jesuits were Jews; that mysterious Russian diplomacy which so alarms Western Europe is or ganized and principally carried on by Jews; that mighty revolution which is at this moment preparing in tiermany, is entirely developing under the auspices of Jews, who almost monopolize tue pro fessorial chairs of Germany. Neander the FOUNDER OF SPIBITTJAD CHRISTIANITY, And who is Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Berlin, is a Jew. Benary, equally famous in the same University, is a Jew. Wehl the Arabic, Professor of Hidelberg, is a Jew, the first Arabic scholar of the day and author of the life of Mahomet. A few years ago we were applied to by Russia for a loan. I resolved to go myself to St. Peters burgh. I had an interview on my ar rival with the Russian Minister of Finance, Count Cancrin. I beheld the son of a Lithuanian Jew. The loan was connected with the affairs of Spain. I repaired thither in the person of the Spanish Minister, Senor Mendizabel; I beheld one like myself, the son of a Nuevo Chrisliano, a Jew of Arragon. From Madrid I went to Paris to consult the President of the French Council; I beheld the son of a French Jew, a hero, an Imperial Marshal, and very properly so, for who should be military heroes, if not those who worship the Lord of Hosts. And is Sontt a Hebrew? Yes, and oth ers of the French Marshals, and the most famous; Massena for example; his real name was Manasseh; but to my anecdote. The consequence of our consultations was, that some northern power should be applied to in a friendly and mediative capacity. We fixed on Prussia; and the President of the Council made an appli cation to the Prussian Minister, who at tended a few days after onr conference. Count Arnim BNTEBED THE CABINET, And I beheld a Prussian Jew. So you see the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by t.imaA whn nrs not behind the scenes. But the passionate and creative genius, that is the nearest link to Divinity, and which no human tyranny can destroy, though it can divert it, has found a me dium for its expression, to which yon have been obliged to bow. Music; that science of harmonious sound which the ancients recognized as most divine, and deified in the person of their most beau tiful creation. Almost every great com poser and skilled musician, almost every voice that ravishes yougwith its trans porting strains, springs from onr tribes. The catalogue is too vast to enumerate; too illustrious to dwell for a moment on secondary names, however eminent. Enough for us that the three great creative minds, to whose exquisite compositions all nations at this mo ment yield Rossini, Meyerbeer and Mendelssohn are of Hebrew race; and little do your men of fashion, your muscadins "of Paris, and your dan dies of London, as they thrill into rap tures at the notes of a Pasta or a Grisis; little do they suspect that they are offer ing their homage to the "sweet singers of Israel P From the earliest times of which American history takes cogniz ance, the free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship have been considered the absolute rights of individuals, recognized by our constitu tions and secured to them by law. It is ordained by the constitution of the -United States that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, and the same principle appears in all of our State constitutions. But al though the United States required no RELIGIOUS TEST, Eligibility to place and power in the vari ous State governments was confined to Trinitarian Christians. In the State of Maryland the struggle to remove the po litical disabilities of the Jews waxed warm in IXVi-i- Tn Jannarv. 1824. Col. Worthington delivered his famous speech in the Maryland Legislature, in the course of which he stated that he had propounded certain inquires to Solomon Etting, Esq., a leading Israelite of Balti more, as follows: What offices have been or are now held by Hebrews ? Solomon Buth, Colonel in the American revolu tion, a distinguished officer who died after the revolution of the wounds re ceived or their effects. Reuben Etting, Marshal of Maryland, appointed by President Jefferson. He was also Cap tain of a volunteer corps, raised very early in Baltimore, long under his com mand, which became so numerous as to require being divided into oompanies and thrown into Fifth regiment Mary land militia. Solomon Etting, Captain Fifth regiment Maryland militia, ap pointed by Governor Paca. Benj. I. Cohen, Lieutenant in Columbian Volun teers, attached to the Fifth regiment Maryland militia. The-strongest case applicable to the subject is one at pres ent existing and may be thus related: Early in the spring of 1823 a number of spirited young men formed a VOLUNTEER RIFLE COMPANY Known as the "Marion Corps." With out any previous knowledge on his part of even the existence of this company, they unanimously elected Benj. I. Cohen, Esq., their Captain. A commission was received from Governor Stevens, but not qualified to, of course, in consequence of the existence of the test law; the corps were made acquainted with this faet, and a resignation of the command on the part of Capt. Cohen followed. At a meeting of the corps, called for that purpose, it was unanimously determined that no Captain should be elected until the fate of this bill to repeal the test law should be decided, and the corps is at presen. commanded by the First Lieutenantt Another eminent Hebrew is Major Mor decai M. Noah, Major in Pennsylvania, Consul to Tunis for the American Gov ernment, and on his return to this coun try, appointed by the Legislature of New York to the important station of Sheriff of their metropolis. A. A. Massais, Major in the U. S. Army during the late war, and retained in the service at the re duction of the army, HE IS NOW PAYMASTER - For the Southern department; W. P. Levy, Lieutentant in U. S. Navy, last Commander of schooner Kovenge, and afterwards a Commodore. The Consti tution of Maryland of 1851 provides "that no other test or qualification ought to be required on admission to any office than such as may be prescribed by this Constitution. If the party shall profess to be a Jew, the declaration shall be of his belief in. a future state of re wards and punishments." The Maryland Constitution of 1867 provides "that no religious test onght ever to be required as a qualification for any office in this State other than a declaration of belief in the ex istence of God." The Constitution of Oregon declares that "No religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office of trust or pront. To-day we find the chosen people occupying high positions throughout the length of the land and the breadth thereof. Josephs of Louisiana is in the United States Sen ate, while Einstein of New York is in the House of Representatives. Some of the brightest lights of the Bench and Bar of the country are Hebrews. The army and navy contain a fair proportion of them, who, in times of trial, have proved not unworthy of their positions. In Europe their standing is, if possible, even higher. Iu Germany Edward Tus ker is the . LEADER OF THE LIBERALS In the Prussian Landtag and Solicitor for the "Deutsche Baden Credit Jtsank. or ''Credit Fonder." He has been a member of the various parliamentary bodies since 1865, and is far honester than Disrseli, in that he has clung to his orignal Hebrew faith in spite of all the advantages that apostacy offered to an ambitious man; and his political integrity is beyond the reach of slander. In 1868 an active and enterprising young lawyer made his debut at the Pal ace of Justice in Paris, first attracting public attention by a remarkable defense of several persons prosecuted for con spiracy. In the following year he was sent to the Corps Legislatif beam. Bell ville and Marseilles, and' on September 4th, 1870, when the furious populace invaded the Legislative chamber, Leon Oambetta was proclaimed a prominent member of the Government of National Defense. Of his eloquence it has been said : "There is a wild passion in the man which is ABSOLUTELY INDESCRIBABLE, His character is like the ocean, gentle and quiet in a calm ; but imposing and awful in a storm . The orator is never cold and stately, his hollow and resound ing voice is like that of some furious warning prophet of doom, and his fiery sentences follow one another with such rapidity that there is little chance for in terruption. ' Another French leader, Jules Simon, is both honest and great, a fine orator, a shrewd and cautious poli tician, a patriot of noblest type, a philos opher of no mean order, and a careful student of social science; he is one of the foremost figures of his time. He strug gled up from the ranks of the masses, his origin was humble and his youth was a perpetual battle for bread. Another Frenchman of note, whose recent death was mourned as a national calamity, was Isaac Adolph Cremieux, Minister of Jus tice in 1848, and a zealous defender and champion of the rights of his oppressed brethren. In 1840 he accompanied Sir Moses Montefiore to the East for the pur pose of taking active measures in behalf of the persecuted Jews of Damascus. The greatest equity lawyer of England, who has filled -the exalted position of MASTER OF THE BOLLS, During the present generation, is Sir George Jessels, a strict member of the Jewish persuasion, who has been success ively Senator of the University of Lon don, Member of Parliament, Solicitor General, and Master of the Rolls; while the acknowledged leader of the English bar is Judah P. Benjamin, a Jew born in New Orleans, and who, while awaiting his admission to the bar of England, wrote and published the best book upon the law of sales, in existence. But in England Disraeli stands pre-eminent in the 15th century; his ancestors bearing a different name, were driven from Spain, and took refuge in the Benetian Repub lic, where, grateful to the God of Jacob who had sustained them through unpre cedented trials, and guarded them through unheard of perils, they assumed the name of Disraeli, a name never born before or since by any other family in order that their race might be forever recognized. From this stock sprang the frreat Premier, whose own life is a more stand indebted to them, charity and beneficence have spread wherever they have found a home, and to-day we feel that they have oondnoed to the prosper ity of the Republic, and may be looked upon as a faotor that will help to bring about the era for which we all so earnest ly long that of universal peace and God-like liberty. To-day the world contains about 5,500,000 Hebrews. Through the blessing of God, their long night of sorrow seems to have drawn to a close, and the glorious spirit of the nineteenth century, addressing them in cheering accents, exclaims, "Veritas, vos liberabit!" the truth shall make" you free. TH GREAT FAIR. The Portland Evening Telegram in its well written notices of the Mechanic's Fair lately closed at that pla:e, has this to say of the well known house of NKWBUBV, HAWTHORNE & Co. In the extreme west end of machinery hall is the exhibit made by the well known house ot Newbury, Hawthorne & Co. One of the most lmportantparts of their exhibit to farmers is the world renowned Morrison Bros, plows, with both wood and steel beams, riding or walking plowsi The wood beams all have double iron standards, bracing well from both bottom and top, in oppo site directions. They are securely bolted to the beam, which has double the usual wrought iron wondrous tale than that of Alroy, a more ( JT rTndT"her noint and higher shin than any plow in the Hnlendid romance than Tancred or Bene tia. The philantropist, Sir Moses Mon tefiore, was Sheriff of London, was knighted by the Queen upon the occasion of her visit to the city in 1846, and was shortly afterwards made a baronet. In 1840, with Cremieux, and on several other occasions, he visited the East in behalf of the Damascan Hebrews. In 1846, he persuaded the Emperor Nicholas to suspend the execution of an EDICT AGAINST THE JEWS, And was invited to visit Poland to con cert measures of relief for his suffering brethren in that unhappy country. In 1854, he collected funds for the famine stricken inhabitants of the East, and se cured from the Sultan the privilege of holding real estate in Jerusalem,.where he built poor houses and encouraged in dustry and agriculture. In 1863, with the help of Queen Elizabeth at Madrid, he procured a firman from the Sultan of Morocco putting his Jewish subjects upon an equal footing with his Christian ones. In his 82d year, he made his last visit to Palestine, to assist those who had suf fered with the cholera, and whose crops had been destroyed by locusts. The next year he went to Bucharest, to use his in 11 yen co against the ill treatment of the Jews of Roumania. In 1867 he endowed the Jewish College at Ramsgate in honor of his deceased wife. On September 24th, 1862, he was presented with the freedom of theoity of London and a valuable present in to ken of his benevolence. In Spain Emilo Castelar ranks with the foremost men of the age, as an eminent orator and un compromising Republican. In 1864 he founded a journal called "La Detnocra cia," in which he developed his social and political principles. He was CONDEMNED TO DEATH In 1866, but escaped into France. In 1868 he returned to Spain, became a member of the Cortez and a leader of the Republican party. He is considered the ablest political orator in Spain, became Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1873, and was President of the Spanish Republic from September 1873, to January 1874. Once on a time, as the fairy tales recite, William IX, Langrave of Hesse was ab sorbed in a game of chess, behind,, his chair, silent and attentive to every move, stood an unobtrusive Hebrew, awaiting an audience with the Prince. The game was going against Wm., who turning, sud denly asked, "Do you understand chess ?" "Sufficiently well, your serene Highness, to induce me, were the game mine, to castle on the King's side." That was a master stroke, turning defeat into victory, and bo delighting -the King that he said, "You are a wise man; he who can extricate a chess-player from such a difficulty as I was in, must have a very clear head for business." That wary counsellor was Mayer Anselm Roths child, the first great Knight of the Red Shield; that lucky hint secured to the banker the use of $40,000,000 and gen erations of financial glory. The success ot the Rothschilds is too well known to need repetition here; one of that family, however, was (in 1858) the first Hebrew to enter the British Parliament, from which his race had been before exclud ed. In that year a statute was passed, allowing either house to dispense with the clause in the oath requiring the mem ber to swear "upon the true faith of a Christian," whenever in its opinion the public interest required it. Proclaimed in the United States and France, the rights of the Jews were recognized in Holland, Belgium, Denmark, parts of Germany, Canada and Jamaica, and in 1848-9, throughout Germany, Italy, Hungary, and finally in Norway and England. Among their MOST ZEALOUS DEFENDERS Were the Frenchman Gregoire, the Pole Czacki, the German Welcker, the Irish roan O'Connell, the Englishman Lord John Russell, the Italian D'Azeglio, and the Hungarian Eotvos, all Christians; the Jews by descent Borne and Disraeli, and the professing Jews Jaoobssohn. Tugenhold, Riesser, Philipssohn, Mon tefiore and Cremieux. The revolutionary movement of 1848-9 proved the immense progress of the Jews as well as public opinion since the days of Mendelssohn and Leasing. The Jews Cremieux, Good chaux and Fould (Minister of State) were among the ministers of the French republic. Pincherle was a member of the Provisional Government of Venice. Jacobi, of Honigsberg, was leader of the opposition in the Berlin Parliament. Reisser was Vice President of that of Frankfort. Dr. Fischhof stood at the head of affairs in Vienna after the flight of the Court. Meisels, the Rabbi of Cracow, was elected to the Austrian Diet by the Polish patriots. Jews were offi cers of high rank in the Hungarian army, chief of whom was the Adjutant Freund, afterwards Mahinond Pasha during the war in Turkey. And here let me quote the words of an eloquent East ern journalist, spoken at the fair given in aid of the BALTIMORE HEBREW ORPHAN ASYLUM: History records no such wonderful ex ample as that of the proscribed Hebrew race, though weary centuries of exile and persecution, clinging to the faith of their fathers, and keeping unsullied the mem ory of their former greatness. They have kept alive the sweet influences of home; the altar fires of love and affection have blazed brightly on tbeir family hearths; virtue and charity have been their watch words, and in their obedience to moral and physical laws they have taught a les son to more pretentious people, who, while claiming a greater degree of Erogress and intelligence, have ad their social systems stain ed with dark blots of evil. Literature, science, art and, politics American market. The mould-boards are Bet well forward and extra hardened. Newbury, Hawthorne & Co. are the only firm in Oregon which carry the Bessemer steel beam plow, made by Morrison Brothers, it is twelve pounds lighter than the iron beam and cannot be bent. In a trial of plows lately made by the Linn county council of the PatronB of Husbandry, the Morrison Brothers' plows made the highest num ber of points and was adopted by the Grange and and recommended by them to the Patrons of Linn county. The plows are certainly well con structed and must be durable, light draft and do good work, as all concede who know them, and we see no good reason why farmers should use a chilled plow when they can have a "Morrison," which is stronger and more durable, lighter to handle, lOOpounds lighter draft and does equally good work in any soil. Farmers should see the "Morrison" before purchasing any other. One of the most important things they show is the FARMER'S FRIEND DRILL, A piece of farm machinery which they have sold for tiro years in Oregon, and which has given complete satisfaction. One of the great features of the drill is the cone gear for regulating the seeding. With all other drills thus far manufac tured, in order to change the amount of seed sown per acre, the machine must be stopped, and the drive wheel and several cog wheels, re moved at the cost of considerable timo, while with the Farmer's Friend Drill it is instantly changed by a lever, and even without stopping the team if a change is desired during the opera tion of the drill. 1 he quantity thus regulated is beyond the possibility of a mistake It has a double force feed, and has been tested in Europe and America, and pronounced the best drill on earth, receiving the gold medal both in Paris and Philadelphia. Newbury, Hawthorne & Co. have induced the manufacturers to make many impor tant improvements in the drill, among, which is the increase in size from twelve to twenty hoes, and the making of both the large wheels do the duty of drive wheels, being double-geared, and driving from both ends. Tbey have also added a feed cone ot each end, bo as to regulate the seeding from each end. Heavy truss braces with bridgetree have also been added at this firm's suggestion. Notably in the exhibit made by this firm is the EST E SLY SEEDEIi AND CULTIVATOR, The king of all seeders in America. It is said to be the most perfect and durable machine in the market, it requires no change of cog-wheels, has an agitator and improved metal drag, bar fastenings; also oil tempered teeth. A leculiar and valuable feature of the machine is that it has more scatterers and cylinders than any other, as it has five sets, while other machines use but three or four, and in the large machines the number is increased proportiona ely, which gives the most even and erfect distributions of the seed. It is the only seeder provided with an India rubber cut-off, which effectually prevents the cracking of grain. At every Fair where the Estorly seeder has been on exhibition it has ob tained the highest premium over all others. As with the Farmer's Friend drill the house in Portland had to increase the Esterly to twenty hoes, and added like improvements with the ex ception of the cones. Both these machines are rigged for two, three or four horses abreast, accord ing to the size of the machines These improve ments have been made necessary in order to meet the demands of the large farmers of Eastern Ore gon and Washington, and at their branch house in Walla Walla the firm have had large sales of the machines. Teamsters are much delighted with the imbroved WHITEWATER WAGON, Government standard, which' is shown at the pavilion by the above firm. It is a fact that it is pronounced by all the best ironed wagon in the market. These wagons have, for a number of years, been used in the service of the United Stales Government and have, without failure, stood the climatic tests of every section of this country. They are also used by the British Gov ernment iu their operations in the northern part of this continent. They have recently been im proved especially for this trade, have many im provements never before seen on any wagon, and are the best in the market on the Pacific coast, of which an examination will convince the most skeptical: This firm also carry the renowned Torsion bolster, seat and pole springs. The bol ster springs will carry from a half to five tons, and will outlast three new wagons. The seat springs are the best in the world, being so flex ible that they cannot be put on a cramp or broken, and are adjustable to either wide or nar row track wagons. The pole springs are light, simple, effective and durable They take the weight from the neck cf the team and are adapted to all wagons with drop down poles. THE WHIPPLE GUIDE. The farmer's friend and friend of his horses. The great equalizer of the age. Universally sought after where known. Believes the team from all the jerking and shaking caused by- rough roads and uuevenness of the ground. Saves the team, saves the harness and makes the control of a wagon, drill or threshing machine so easy that a boy can take the place ot a man, in driving either. The only place on the Pacific Coast where the Whitewater wagons and the above improvements can be had is at Newbury, Haw thorne & Co., who carry a full stockof then. The KEY CITY EXTENSION TOPS For carriages, buggies and light wagons, are shown by the firm. The top is adapted to all uses, and suited to all weather. These tops may be used on a single or double-seated vehicles, and their three or four bowed jointed top may be used either on carriages or farm wagons, and can be changed from one to the other in five minutes. These tops range in prices from $15 to $60, being less than one-half the cost of any other tops. The attention of farmers, carriage makers and dealers generally are invited to these desirable articles. THE CENTENNIAL FANNING MILL, Both for farm and warehouse, are also exhibited. They are especially adapted to cleaning wheat, oata and barley, clover and timothy, flax, beans and corn meal. The Centennial Fanning Mill is the best constructed, duarble and most eomplete in the world. HISCKLLANEODS ARTICLES. Newbury, Hawthorne & Co. also show, some railroad and mining shovels, picks, bolted wheel ilr,,ml and hi?hn-av nlows and scraD- lii LIV... ' O .
