The North Against Us!

It is conceded now, that the united North
will vote for Lincoln, while the united South
will vote for Breckenridge Why should the
South complain ? Answer that question:
The North does not choose to allow US the
rights which are ours, under the Constitution,
but then, as this is a confederation Of soser-
eign States, every State aggrievad can at once
withdraw from association with the despicabis
hounds that bark at her-and so tho matter
will end !
1t is the business of the North to complain
NOT ours. The South can produce al she
needs and she does produce three fourths N
value of all that is exported. If the North
objects to that state Of things, why, let the
North object to the continuance Of the Con-
federacy, as she does.
Why should the pArtner who furnishes all
the capital--does all the work-bears all the
burthens-object to the dissolution Of the
partnership ? Great evils will come from
dissolution but they will come to the insol-
vent partners, who, in this case, are the
Northern States. A people who grow 4,elns-
600 bales of an article, upon which the exis-
tence of civilized society depends, need not be
afraid of getting along without help The
South does this And, besides, the South has
been paying the North to handle this vast
crop, in one way and another. A dissolution
opens opportunity to make new and cheoP-r
arrangements.
Then what care we, if the North IS agSErlst
US? It is her own lookout The malt mil-
lion of Wide Awakes who lately made a
demonstration in the streets Of New YORK,
and whose parade is pictured by all the Illus
trated papers, could not count as many dol
lars rs the same number of the well fed sls-eS
of the South. The South throws away, every
year, more dollars than makes the legitimate
income of the North. In fact, the North hiss
fattened on the South sucks its blood, year
by year and If now it feels like driving the
South, who should complain Hungry
bellies will soon drive the lover of the almighty
nigger to his knees he will whine and beg,
like any hound, when it is too late. If 10
goes unfed, he will find out, after while,
that his own folly lost him his dinner.
A dissolution will be dissolution to he
North, we know. But why waste any SYM
pathy on a people so reckless and arrogant.
Poor as bcggars, they actually endeayor 10
drive out those on whose aims they subsist.
Why should we pity them They I,ske

we cannot imagine the case and If there IS
an idea worthy only OF an utter isabecfiity, 1t
is that which would doubt for moment tho
necessity of leaving this Confederacy the mo-
