A LEADER OP SLATES.
ROMANTIC RISE AND FALL OF
TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE.
A Character in History Which Haa Fur-
Blthed a Theme for Poets and Orator*.
Napoleon'* Bate Treatment of the Great
vmttmfy *»*< j t i f z t
Thirty years ago Toussaint L'Ouver-
ttire was a name to conjure with. Poets
and orators described his virtues and his
genius and cited him as an illustrious
example of the capabilities of his race.
A romantic interest will always attach
to his name. The fact that for fifty-four
he lived in deepest obscurity as a
on a Haytian plantation and the .
epic character of his subsequent achieve-
ments give a tinge of antique heroism to
his history.
The French colony in Hayti was loni
one of the greatest slave marts in ti
world. At the time of the French revo-
lution there were in the colony 30,000
whites, 20,000 free mulattoes and 500,000
slaves. The mulattoes, many at whom
had been educated in France, took ad-
vantage of the revolution and obtained
a recognition of their political rights
from the French assembly; the whites of
Hayti refused to recognize the decision
and a war broke out which was soon
complicated by an uprising of the whole
slave population. On a memorable night
in August, 1791, the plantations were
fired and many of the whites were mur-
dered.
Toussaint liad not at this time ac-
quired the name of L'Ouverture. This
word, meaning "the opening," was ap-
plied to him afterward because he
opened a way lor tho freedom of his race
through the chaotic conditions of the
following years.
In the dreadful wars of the years fol-
lowing the uprisal of tho slaves his ex-
traordinary influence over his race and
his military genius gave him pre-emi-
nence over all other chiefs. A design
of freeing his race, which could only be
accomplished by making it the ruling
race of Hayti, gradually took shape in
his mind and forms the key note of his
career.
France, Spain and England each bid
high for his alliance, but France de-
clared for the freedom of the Blares and
he finally ranged himself under the
French flag. It was evidently his desire
to maintain a desirable connection with
a European power which would yet
leave him at liberty to develop his plans
for his own race, but the realization of
his idea required a disinterested co-op-
eration of which no European govern-
ment was capable. f j
In a few years he had been recognized
by France as commander in chief of the
army of Hayti and was practically dic-
tator of the island.
As a ruler of Hayti he surrounded
himself with the pomp of a prince, al-
though personally he retained habits of
severe simplicity. He ate sparingly and
slept little, being possessed of extraor-
dinary powers of endurance. In dignity
of manner he was entirely equal to his
position. He endeavored to reconcile
conflicting races, and his rule was im-
partial and able.
But Napoleon was not the man to al-
low a dictator under himself. He sent
an aripy of 80,000 men to Hayti to re-
store slavery and reduce the colony to
subjection.
Suspecting the true purpose of the ex-
pedition, Toussaint resisted the landing
of the army, but finally laid down his
arms after he had been assured that
thero was no intention of restoring
slavery and that lie injured the cause of
his race by resistance.
He was still too powerful to be openly
Beized, but he was decoyed into the
French quarters and was then hurried
on board a vessel and carried to France.
Be hop«d to meet Napoleon and defend
his conduct, but on landing he was se-
cretly hurried to a loaMy fortress in the
Alps, where he shortly afterward died.
Many wild stories attributing his death
to murder found credence at the time.
Neglect and the change from a tropic to
an Alpine climate doubtless hastened
his end.
By his removal the progress of his
race was incalculably retarded.
While Toussaint's fate and place of im- 1
prisonment were still unknown, Wads-
worth wrote the beautiful sonnet, "To
Toussaint L'Ouvertnre." His history is
the Bubject of a drama by Lamartine,
and of a novel, vThe Hour and the
Man," by Harriet Martineau. During
the antislavery agitation in the United
States he was cited as a most illustrious
example of the real capabilities of his
race. A poem by Whittier and an ora-
tion by Wendell Phillips commemorate
his virtues and his genius.—Detroit Free
Press. ' *
