From the Southerners now North of Mason |
and Dixon's line, an expression of their respec-
tive opinions is demanded. Not, that effectual
benefit to the various portions with which they
are connected would be rendered, but that the den
ices Of the South should be disabused Of their
present exaggerated prejudices, for 1t is al
mournful fact that Southern prejudice is co-equal
with that Of Northern fanaticism, which ari-
ses not SO much from ignorance, as from mat
tention. Although TO monstrous ignorance, and
to political decorators of the pulpit is Northern
fanaticism mainly to be attributed simply to-
the charge of the inattention of fSoutherners who
annually travel North, Is the Southern preiu-
dice justly to be ascribed. For the liberalism of
the majority of Northern citizens, of this our
great and glorious Republic, exceeds that which
1t is for the most part believed to be. And
Southerners when they learn this all important
but obscured fact should through the medium
Of some reliable Southern Journal. impart their
information, that those who either have not the
facility, or do not desire to visit this supposed
inhospitable climate, should have lnstilled q
knowledge of the truth.
1t is currently believed throughout the South
that the whole North is settingin in solemn coun-
Gil, devising some feasible plan by which "Sla-
vocracy can be crushed" They imagine that
a large number are wild and frenzied with zeal
for the consummation of that absorbing object,
Freedom, Fremont and Anti-Slayery." And
thata Southerncr who dares to interlope on
Northern soil. would be treated as felon. The
opinions of some are so narrowly based that
they pretend to discountenance everything which
has emanated from the North. Whether it was
whirled from the Northern spindle--whether it
was rolled from the magnificent machinery and
