is Northern rather than Southern in its
character, / there is force in the following
extract:
=" In the first place, then, VIC confess to
very great reluctance that the intellectual
character OF the South, to say nothing of
its decency and conformity to the proprc-
ties of life, should be represented through
out New England by a clerical Therstes so
voluble of vituperation and SO extremely
familiar with the Internal gods. Whatever
may be said of slavery or Shareholders, the
South has its own sclf-respcct and it's own
mental and moral dignity to maintain be-
fore the world. Because New England is
blatant with blasphcmy, because men aud
women talk treason there in hundred lee
ture-rooms, because the Constitution and
the Union; nay the Bible itself and all that
we hold dear in domestic life as the Chris
tan Lares and Ponates of our households.
arc held in mockery by the fanatics of Wor-
cester and Syracuse, because the Southern
people are denounced as robbers and muir
derers from Cape Cod to the hills of Berk-
| sblre--constitutes no sufficient reason why
Southern man, least of all one protesting
the religion of Christ, should 60 into this
region of isms and infdelites to contend
with its orators in the use of bad language.
The respectability of the South will be
lowered in the estimation of moderate men
by the coarseness and intemperance of its
sclf-appointed apostle"
