The fan0tlcal, meddleS0ule, oVeroeaTlnB uis-
position Of the Puritsns-their arrogant, con-
ceited and wicked determination to ignore the
moral fact that individuals as well as nations
have quite enough to do to keep evil from their
own characters without interfering with others;
their ultraisn and pcrSisten. claim to regulate
and control the social rights and customs OF
other people, has deluged more than one coun-
try in blood. These dctestable qualities alto
gether outweigh everything that is good in
them, and render them the greatest curse that
can be inflicted on q country. 1t would have
been better for humanity had their Plymouth
rock been riven by an earthquake and their
M,yfower sunk into the bottom Of the ocean.
In England they prosecuted the families, RACED
the houses and cut down the ancestral oaks OF
the cavaliers. So bitter-so errogsnt-so con-
ceited and tenacious OF their peculiar views
so intole:ant were they, that they became sepa'
rated from the grcnt body Of constitutional re-
formers, and the re-actionaIy spirit Of a gallant
people hurled them from power like Satan
from Paradise, and drove them beyond the
ocean. Whether on American soil they are to
relearn in bitterness and blood this historical
lesson; whether after Mving dosola,cd with
fire and sword the homes of tho South, they
are again, by the outraged spirit Of conserVa-
tism, 70 be voted a nuisance, and pushed over OF
into the sea, / am not prophet enough to tell.
But this I do know, that Joined to their idols"
snd falling to profit by the Til~exsmple of their
ancestors, they are again stirring up strlte on
another contincnt-tHst with no earthly right
to Interfere with them in any way, they have
chosen to make themselves the bitter enemies
of the peace, happiness and safety Of the gen.
tle1uen Of the South that while gentlemen
hate strife and arc conssitusionally quiet, social
and pesceable, yet combining science with cou-
rage. when driven to resistance they pursue
their enemies with tho terrible energy o! fu.
