TIE PLANT GREEKS OF THE NORTH, THE WARLIKE
ROMANS OF TIE SOUTH.
The people of the free States do not exactly
understand the grand ideas of the Slavery Prop
agAnda The following extract from an edito-
rial in the Rlchmond va. E@lmrer, will APP
prise them of the relations they hold to the
Romans" Of the So4th
The relations between the North and the
South are very analogous to those which SUBJ
sisted between Greece and the Roman Empire
after the subingation Of -Achaia by the consul
Mummius. The dignity and energy of the Ro-
man character, conspicuous in war and in
politics, were not easily tanned and adjusted to
tue arts Of industry and literature. The de-,
senersse and plant Greeks, on tho contrary,
excell9d in the landicraft and polite professions
rive iesa from the vigorous invoctve of Juvenal
that they were the most useful and capable of
servants. whether as pimps Or professors of rhet-
orick Ohsequious, dexterous, and ready the
versatile Greeks mouopoliAed the business of
teaching publishing, ald manufacturing in the
Roman mpire-allowing their masters ample
els Ire Tor the service Of the State in the Senate
or in the field. The people of the Northern
States of this Confederacy exhibit the same ap-
titudc for the arts of industry. They excel as
clerks, mechanics, and tradcsnon, and they have
monopolzed the business of teaching, publish
ing, and peddling."
This is delightful. Degenerate and plant ~
they excel as clerks, mechanics, and trades
men, and " have manopolized the business of
teaching, publishing, and peldling." "Obse-
quious, dexterioas, and ready" they make the
s. most useful and capable Of servants, whether
as pimIs or professors OF Rhetoric" We, Ro-
mans, have subjected them, and hold them as
yassIls; but let us beware that, like the Ro-
mans of old, we be not dcbauched by oar slaves
We commend this picture of Northern char
acter, by one of the Slavery Propaganda, to the
been making themselves 10 useful to the Slave
holders. The following Northern Representa-
tiycs who voted, May the Sth, to take up the
Bill TO repeal the Missouri Compromise, with a
view to urge its immediate passage, will learn
from the foregoing paragraph what the modern
Romans think of them:

We hope these gentlemen will carefully pre-

encourage them to know the high esteem ii
which Northern men useful to the Shareholder
are held in the South National Era.
