II is a part of abolition tactics to make
Northern men believe, if possible, that the
South desire to bully and dragon them that
the South consider them all race OF pol
troons and menials, and seek to carry their
point with them by putting them in oodiy
fear How often do we hear abolitioh ora
tors in Congress exclairn, THE gentleman
needn't expect TO awe men by the crack OF
bis whip, as he scares the slaves on his plan
,atiou." 4 man of true dignity and spirit
would be slow to suspect another of such
purpose and, when he did, he would not re-
sent it in a manner so childish and unmanly.
No idea has worked more mischief in the
North than that which the Tribune and its
free soil contemporaries so industriously pro-
psgate. of the South bullying the North
They know that it is better calculated to ex-
cite bad blood in the North than all the ima-
gined horrors of slavery, and therefore they
never cease repeating the calumny in every
shape and form. They take good care never
to copy from Southern print any tribute to
the good qualities of Northern character; but
ii they can lay hold of some indiscreet and
,ndiscriminate denunciation, provoked by
their own outrageous blackguardism, they
parade it in the most conspicuous place OF
their columns, as specimen of Southern SEN
timent
The charge is of course false, as every
body knows How does the Tribune recon
ellie its statements of Southern bullying IN
Congress with old Giddings boastiul decla-
ration in Boston, that he had in vain tried TO
kicky Southern men into fight! Either
Giddings or the Tribune must be r0mancing.
Which is it, For our own part, we have no
faith in either of them. for, as general rule,
abolitionists hate the truth even more than
they do slavery.
There is no sentiment felt in the South to-
wards the honest and patriotic masses of the
North, but respect and Friendships no senti-
ment for the abolitionists but profound con-
tempt. There may be among the abolition
lists, men of moral and physical courage, but
there was never a nobler opportunity OF
showing it than in the late riot in Boston,

militia set them at defiance, and the only hos
tile demonstration they ventured to make
was the cowardly act of throwing bottle
of vitriol at one of the soldiers. The South
must be excused from entertaining very
high opinion of the prowess of such wor
thies,x while it accords the highest merit tol
courage and moral worth to the brave and
virtuous men who uphnld the laws against
the fanatic assaults of besotted multitude.
