W7lO WON AMERICAN INDEPEN-
DENCE, AND WHO WILL PRESERVE 1T?

Since the initiation of the American rebellion,
the leaders in the conspiracy have maintained
a system of such extravagant boasting that a
stranger might suppose that the " chivalry "
possess all the military skill and experience to
be found on the other side of the Atlantic, and
that the United States Government was a
thing of Southern creation, existing only by the
kind indulgence of South Carolina and her
followers, A glance at a few facts and figures
will show how foundationless is the supposition.
At the time of declaring their independence,
the colonies contained a population of 3,247,000 ;
1,893,000 of whom were inhabitants of the sec-
tion now known as the New England and Middle
States, while 1,354,000 belonged to what are now
the Southern or Slave-holding States. For
the War of the Revolution the New England and
Middle States furnished 174,012 men, Massachu-
setts alone supplying 67,907, giving one out of
seven of her entire population. The whole 'of the
Southern States furnished but 56,997 soldiers—a
less number than the Commonwealth (then colony)
of Massachusetts. During the whole of the revo-
lution South Carolina provided but 6,447 soldiers
and Georgia, which, at that time, extended west-
ward to the Mississippi, but 2,097 Southern men.
The inhabitants of these States were so nearly
divided between their loyalty to the House of
Hanover and their support of the Continental
authorities, that had it not been for the enthu-
siasm of the- Northern people, which led them
to make every sacrifice of blood and treasure,
the declaration that these " colonies are,
and of a right, ought to be independent," could
never have been maintained, and the signers of that
declaration, instead of being handed down to pos-
terity as the most unselfish of patriots would have
been known and execrated in English history as
the blackest of traitors. Whatever may have been
thought at the time, of the ambitious colonies, it has
long been conceded that those communities justly
claimed a place among the nations of Christendom.
That position was earned, for the most part, by
the commercial and manufacturing people of the
North, by the men whom the F. F. V.'s. and
the " chivalrous" gentry of the Carolinas affect
to despise as a race of "low traders" and
" dirty mechanics," while their ancestors were pre-
served from the murderous scalping knife of the
Indian, and the more murderous rifle of the " tory"
marauders, by the fathers of the very men whom
they now look upon with such lofty contempt.
Having done but little towards rearing the temple
of liberty, they come with rash and sacrilegious
hands to overturn the sacred edifice, and to defile,
the altar. Lightly as they appreciated the benefit
of a free government in these trying times,
anlinde-
pendent pendent nation sprang into being, and wantonly
they now strive to undo the successful labors ofothers,
cause, the
abroad, and no continued faith in their
it will continue to exist. Without
