is possible for community to suffer. They are
familiar with boots aud saliva. Their noss>' are
Sn state of continuous tweak. Whatsoever things
are disgracefu, whatsoever things are incredibly
Illuminating, whatsoever things another race would
rush to revolt at, the South patiently endures
Smitten upon the right cheek, it turns the left;
smitten upon the left cheek, it offers the right;
smitten upon both, until upon both the shame is
sttecotyped, it would fain make compromise OF
its faoSl deficiency by offering for assault the still
more sacred parts of its constitution. We
are not giving our own opinion. We
arc moi indulging in the gall of sectional
preiudiee. We are aerey taking the South
erp patriarchs at their own truculent talk. TO
drop Hardee, and to refer to The Quarterly Plan
tation again, we find that the South is submitting
to " theft and to murder that +" it has per-
mitted its soil to be invaded by band ofrufiians
rogues, and murderers that it is subjected
TO cool impertinence, studied insolence, scottish
vanity, stupid ignorance, stolid conscientious
g ness" Returning TO the consideration of the
Hardee bulletin, we are told that :" Southern prop
" erty is stolen, seized, and delivery refused -
that " the power and privileges of the highest legls
latiye tribunal are defed and Knocked by the
a banded traitors of the North that /" through
s' out the South, emissaries swarm, and are ever
% ready with the torch and dagger
These, Hardee and The Plantation Quarterly
being our authority, are the Southern wrongs
these are the injuries upon which they should be,
but are not yet, alas mounted. Now, what does
the South do 7 In the name of guns and drums
and trumpets and thunder, what does the South
do Why, they start a Quarterly Review; and
Hardee Of the Rural Home, Florida proposes ga
I" cavalry corps of one hundred men," Talk of
lameness and impotence why this is lamer than
lameness and more impotent than the impotency
of mules. The Rural Home, forsooth Why,
there is Unitary Home in this city, of which If
any inmate thought brown bread better than
white, he would manage, in despite of faced
purse and the distrust of job printers in support
of his theory to print fourteen pamphlets in
fortnight. And here is the bufeted South can
false nothing but Hardee and his six-byeght proc
lamation, calling for some hundred men" instead
of calling. as he should, if he and his fellows are
in such straits, for One Hundred Thousand This
il what "the traduced, slandered, and nsuted
" South" has been able thus far to do.
Now, as a general rule it is all nonsense to talk
As the heroic Hardee does about "the blood of
3 the brave" unlesE you have brave subjects to
bleed. The rabbit must be caught before he can
Be dressed. Hardee may get, through the liberali-
ty of the ladies, al banner which shall cast
80 sheen of glory upon the thickest fight and the
" darkest day." But you cannot fight with ban
ner-yOu cannot even fight with cutlasses unless
you have cash--you cannot do battle with men, no
matter how many, unless you have money. And
where Hardee is TO get money passes our compre-
hension. The South is ruined. The South, if we
may believe Hardee, has not zip left for nest
egg. The South is short. Morris Hardee very
long. He closes in Proclamation by a vociferous
and agonizing demand for contributions. "Ihe
"patriotie citizens of the South" are requested to
send money to Hardee. "Material aid" is precise
Is the delicate phrase which he uses. He is H.
definite as to the proper amount of subscription,
but Editor Turner is explicit Five dollars per
annum is the " damage" to be sustained by every
reader of The Plantation Quarterly Admitting
that the Union can be preserved only by sending
Eve dollars either to the gallant Hardee or TO the
profound Turner, we think it safest to trust the
Quarterly Reviewer. There is all aroma about the
Tardee Proclamation suggestive Gn connection
with FIVE dollars) of eghty-three drinks. Patriots
willing to pay literally for waste paper and Fede
val Dissolution will find the right shop for their
money at the Office of The Quarterly Plantation,
