What the Yankee is.

We copy the following eloquent extract
from speech delivered by Mr.. Corwin Of
Ohio, in the House Of Representatives on
the Esd and Gath of January. 1860. 1t
ia, says the New York Post, appropriate
for the times: i'a t'e. -''
\ My colleague (Mr. Cox) spoke of a
meeting upon the Western Reserved In Ohio.
He amused himself with the comic pow
er he possesses in initiating the nasal twang
of the Yankee of that Reserve. It sound
ed strange to you, as it did to him, and 80
it did TO the army Of Prince Rupert at
Marston Moor when the ancestors Of these
men rushed into battle against the mailed
chivalry and curled darlings Of the court
of Charles I. What happened then?
Something worthy to be noted and not
forgotten. Stout Cromwell and his uncon-
querable Ironsides, when the day was well
nigh lost. charged with resistless fury up
on the proud columns of that host of gen
tlemen, as they were bOastfully dcnomina-
ted and 10 Prince Rupert and his host
were no longer there. They were scat
tered as the dried leaves of autumn are be-
fore the storm-blast of the coming winter.
That same nasal twang rang out on that
day their we'll known war cry, 1.-The sword
of the Lord and Gideon" ala 81,
These Yankees are peculiar people;
they arc an industrious, thriving, pains.
taking race of men. The frailties of these
men grow out of their very virtues-those
stern virtues which founded liberty in
England and baptized it in their own
blood upon Bunker Kill in America. They
will do so again if there is q necessity for
it. 1t is hard matter to deal with men
who do verify believe that God Almighty
and his angels encamp round about them.
What do they care for Kings. and Lords,
and Presidents9 What do they care for
earthly things and earthly power2 They
fully believe they are heirs of the King oi
Kings. In the hour of battle they swear
to themselves to stand, like the great He.
brew leader, in the cleft Of the rock; the
glory of the Most High God passes by
them, and they catch gleam of its bright
ness. If you come in conflict with the
purposes Of such men. they will regard du-
ty as everything, life as nothing. So it
appeared in our war Of the Revolution

The Southern States sent only All per

South were up to the level of the North

part with the mother country. The loyal

An Historical View of the Military
Qualities Of the North and South.

The Southern people affect and perhaps
feel the utmost contempt Of the military
spirit and qualities of the North. This is
the natural sentiment of barbsrous to-
ward highly civilized people. The South
sec the vast industries of the North, and
believe the latter to be completely emascu-
lated by their pacific pursuits, forgetting
that their vast acquisitions are so many ad-
ditional inducements for fighting in their
defense. whenever their safety is imperil-
cd. The South entertain toward the North
the same sentiments that the Mexicans did
toward the United States, and the Chinese
toward England and France, previous to
the lessons these barbarians have lately re-
Seived. But all history tells that the
higher the civilization of people, the
greater their military prowcss. KNoSoL-
edge is posoer. Roman intelligence con-
quered all the barbarous races that came
in its way, despite the desperate courage
and physical energy which characterized
them. English civilization has carried its
resistless march over q large portion of
the globe; and in the same way by nec-
essary law, is the civilization Of the North
to supplant by its superior vigor and life.
the semi -barbarous civilization of the South.
Northern civilization has hundred steam
ships engaged in transmission of troops
and in blockading Southern ports. This
fact is conclusive Of the whole contest for
the mixed civilization of the South cannot,
uuaided. put afoat single one Of the ter
rible engines of war. .....l...a
A similar difference prevailed between
the North and South at the commence
nent of the war of the Revolution. The
North, relatively, were as far ahead of
the SCuth as now in intelligence and wealth,
and in their addictedness to pacific pur-
suits. The South then as now, was entire
ly devoted to GgricuLture-the North to.
commerce and the manufactures of the day.
The North had everything to lose by the
SSntest; the South comparatively nothing.
Under such circumstances it would be sup
posed that the South would be intensely
loyal. and earnest supporters of the war
1.-The North disloyal and opposed to it.
But to the exact reverse was the case
fhe sections that suffered most, the New,
England States, bore the whole brunt Of
the contest. Though numbering only a.
bout one quarter Of the population, fur
