periodical crises" as they are technically called
when our Southern brethren vindicate their supe-
rioriy over the base slaves that pay, by the repu.
diation of their Northern debts. Professor Ella
unbesitatingly gives the precedence to the Bor-
rowing Race over the Lending, and pronounces it
the Superior Of the two" which is dl,cernibie in
" their figure port, and certain instructive sover.
"eieDty."
Whether it be that We have been brought up to
consider this the due course of nature and TO
gard our Southern brethren as the Superior Race,
because of the intrepidlty Of their pecuniary def
ances or whether it be an innate instinct that tells
US Of the prominence We should allow it, we have
daily proofs Of the way in which it is claimed and
granted. Not to mention the dsinterested habit
Of our merchants and manufacturers which has
grown into custom, of supplying them with mer-
chsDdises, foreign and domestic, in spite Of the
polticO-ecOnoDical certainty of an ultimate refusal
to pay for the same-for this may only be an exhi-
bition Of their Christian regard for the Scripture
which commands them to impart Of their sub
stance to the necessitiOus, looking not for their
own sgain-not to mention these unselfshnesses,
nor yet our cheerful paying almost the entire
amount nationally appropriated for their defense
and convenience, and our swlftness In carrying
beside these there are yet other proofs of the ge-
nelc difference between the Races, as well as Of
the superiority of theirs over ours. One Of the
chef of these is to be found in the calm assurance
they enjoy of the divine institution and unalterabe
fitness of the condition of things among them
seves-W hich leads them to reject any discussion
of the same and to Danish all and sundry
who are so much as suspected of differing from
them in opinion on the subject.
So little assured are the Northern or Inferior
Race Of the excelency of what pertains unto them
selves, that they not only permit, but even invite,
members of the Superior to instruct them touching
the same. While Messrs. Underwood, Hedrick,
Stannard AID BOardman are driven with execra.iOn
from the South, because they insoently chose to
offer from their betters as TO whom they would
Like for President, 10 the character of BrOokss
of Mr.. Summers skull, Gen. Houston,
Senator Toombs, Col. Benton, and perhaps others,
have been asked, almost compelled, to come on and
say what they liked about themselves and u.s. and 10
give us such good counsel as they thought we
stood in need of, and have been cvilly hearkened
unto literally paid and courteOusy entreated. Only

natured gentle nen of this city were induced to in
site w. Gilmore Simms, LID, to instruct them
and their fellow citizens in history and Southern
Idyllics, and to give them Incidental lessons in
good manners. Well, Mr.. Simms came, and
we have already told our readers what befel. The
respectable as were the names of
large audience But those that did go were RECALLED
with discourse the prev iiliDg and pervading dull
hess of which was relieved by laughabe misrepre-
sensations of history, and spiced by insults to
themselves and their part of the country. Now
had Northern man done the buDdredth part
be have been treated He would have had
his impertinence rebuked by term in the
penientary as an meter OF instruction, or have
been furnished with a complimentary coat of tar
and feathers or promoted to an extempOrized gal
lows. Here, on the contrary, ali the pens' public
did was to deci being bored second time, and to
leave the ectureroom the next evening to the sole
use and behoOf of the lecturer and the sexton The
press presumed, to be sure, to correct his perver
.ons of history, aud to comment on bis solecsms in
good manners. And as punishment for these
outrages, the martyred man shakes off the dust of
bic feet testimony against u.s. with an air as if
he were Latimer and Ridley rolled into one. Sure
w. there must be original diversity between two
such races as these.
We have occasion now and then to rejoice that
the fools are not all dead yet. However it may be
with the fools, the snobs certainly yet live. We
noticed in Boston paper lately that this same gen.
tleman had been urged to deliver his lecture before
some LecturiDg Association there, with the as.
sursnce that he should meet with neither empty
seats nor impertinent comments. In other words,
these Athenian seekers after new things engage
hat they will crowd the house for the known pur.
pose of having their own noses publicly pulled;
hat they will sit quietly during the operation pay
ing him literally for his pains, and that, when the
lecturer spits in the face of their old mother, far
from " striking back" as Mr.. Burlingawe imperti-
1ently says he WILL they will not even make any
commentaries upon that salivatOry
We trust that this Association, what
ever it may be- consists mainly of the South Carolina
,r Brooks party Of Boston, which lately took SO
much pains and spent so much money to foist Mr..
William Appleton into Mr.. Burlingame's seat.
Anyhow, this invitation is proof in point as to the
mpossbility of an identity of origin in the case
If two such divergent Races. Charleston is quite
Incapable Of such piece of snobbery as that
We are happy to inform The Journal Of Com
