The primitive Republican. (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-1852, 1851-07-17
Beware of Northern Men, "

Said that far seeing and truth telling states
man, Roger Barton, in his celebrated speech
at Jacinto, while looking live Yankee plump
in the face.
"BeUare of Northern men" Them our
sentiments exactly, we say Southern men, be
on your guard-watch with untiring vigi-
lance-beware.
Gen. Quitman and ourseif are tTo full
blooded live Yankees; born Yankees; Snd
Yankees still. Bring up an owl in crows
nest and it will be an owl still-whats bred
in the bone remains in the fsh-chips from
a Eastwood block, will be Eastwood chips,
though they are taken to California. We
were born not great distance apart, in the
State of New York-our forefathers fought
in common in the revolutionary, and Wax Of
1912, and We patriotic ike them, both fought
in the Mexican war.
At an early age our friend migrated to the
Great South, which opened her broad arms to
receive all honest and industrious men
How he got here, we know not-as t. our
self, We foated in on raft, first into the
State of Missouri, next into the city Of St.
Louis, with pair of striped trousers, dirty
shirt and straw hat on. Next day We were
dressed like gentleman, with thirty dollara
in our trousers. At that era in our exist,nce
we were II years of age! if our friend the
Ex-Governor was younger than that when lie
arrived South, then he has the advantage Of
us in that particular.
Thank God, we both left the once proud
State of New York, when she was State
that any man might be proud Of Alas,
how the mighty'has fallen. Fora time, may
it soon end, Abolition influence las controlled
her destinies. When We left, it was custo-
mary to rotten-egg Abolition lecturers. May
those good old days return. We left the land
of our birth with an honest name, and tole-
t rablo good character. We owe her nothing,
5 for we never yet got pint of guber-peas or
$ clean dickey therein, but what We had to an
q tie up for 'em. Our principles is where our
: interest is; and both principle and interest are
: in the South.
: Our friend, the General, received while in
! the Mexican War, some $500 month, more
4? or less, with perquisites, honors, &c We,
e while in the same service, received So a
: month more or less, no perquisites about it,
:, pork and beans, and good many, too many
o &c. forths. He was a great deal the smart
Is lest, and we the biggest fool. For man to
z make himself human target to be shot at,
d and worse than that, store house for pork
D. and beans, all for So month, may lie very
!? patriotic, proper, commendable, and all that
le sort of things: yet its any thing else thar
b, agreeable. 1t shows great deal more smart
F. ness to be a General than private then th,
at pay is a great deal better, and the chances
g for getting home in the same proportion
esl Generals stand back and order-soldiers g,
,hl in and fght-one comes home with blu
T. breaches, bad habits, and land Sarrant-th
g other with lots Of tin, credit, and blushipl
le honers.
