This difference springs from tlloir differ

because, ouch an arisloeracy is always

always corrupt and vicious--op oppressive,
insulting and grinding to tho poor. This
sristocracy now exists At The North.
There "a none such at tho South, (save q

the sooner Tie separation the better these
are called Disunionists. Some think.
the longer the conflict exists the better.

Eli And. you viii perceive, at. once, that
The conservative is the most foolish Of I
ths three classes. because allmsn ofsensel

dependent on The South for lis very be-
