From the Duo West Telescope +
The Christian Intelligenoer and Southern
Papers.
Z The last number Of the latcli1en has an
article headed "The Mistaken South" and
which arraigns the ,SoutAern PrcsbYtert;nn,
tho ~ c. Presd.yterton, the Due West 7elc-
scope and others for Misrepresentation of
Northern scntimcntand fesing. The editor
admits; that the Northern Suites are Republi-
can, but denies that they are abolitionists in
principles To Southern people the distinc-
tion is withouta difference. The views and
feelings aud determinations of both parties,
Republicans and Abolitionists, arc the same,
differing, it may be, slightly in the degree of
their hatred, and even OF this we are not sure.
If Gerritt Smith aud Wendell Phillips hate
tho South any worse than 1i6ydhan, Lincoin
and YIN. IL. Seward, they must be in very
close correspondence with the prince that
rcignS below, and We are glad that they arc
not in authority. ~ II
Tho editor says further that the Republi-
n Hnno fcl, ~ al
South as well ns for the North Docs tic cd
itor really believe that If SO, it only shows
how easily evcn good men are swept away by
he current. The Republicans sustaining the
government for the benefit of the South -
We'll, they are a generous set Of fellows very
kind, excessively kind. But have they never
heard the story Of the man who grew rich by
attending to his own business? Sustaining
tho government for the benefit of the South is
likely to bea very expensive business to them,
and as they have been slapped in the face for
following after the South, self:respcct would
seem to dictate to them the propriety of with
holding their Kindness. ~r
"They revere the Constitution, and wish to
abide by oil its compromises" That feeling
of reverence has come to them very lately
How long has it been since Mr.. Seward was
proclaiming his 'shighcr law ;" doctrines p
How long has It been since the editor of the
Iatctttgcncer himself was calling upon these
same Republican States to repeal their uncon-
stitutional laws and abide by the Constitution
No, the Republican party has so long shown
its want of reverence for tho Constitution that
we cannot give them credit for honesty now
when their war cry is, "The Constitution"
"The glorious Constitution" 1t is all fudge.
"Therc is no reign of terror at the North,
no mob rule, &C." Well your own New York
papers lie terribly then. THE Ne,cs, THE
journal Of Commerce, The Day Bqoh, &C.,
seem to think that there has been one big
mob in New York and all over the land there,
ever since Sumter fell If there is no reign
of terror in New York, why were the police
stationed at the anti-Republican printing
offices in thot city? Why is that cannon in
ono Of tho Offices there to this day. Why did
the editor run from Troy to Canada Did
he get scared without a cause? Why did
Dir. Inglis Of South Carolina have to. leave
Philadelphia and New York? Why did Rev.
Mr. Myers have to leave Clarksburg, Indiana,
an account of which was published over his
own signature in the Telescope rccontly?-
Why did Rev. Mr. Vandyke have to answer
at his door for that anti-abolition sermon
Why?
The third item in regard to the bicct and
design of the war, represents things very diff
fercntly from tho straight anti Republicna
press. who knows best what is the purpose
Of this war, Horace Grccly or the editor of
the intelligenccr?
"The war is forced by Southern, usurpa-
tion upon the union, and it never can be end
cd ntil that usurpation is broken and defeat.
ed" Usurpation indeed Is it usurpation
to take that whichis ones own and do with it
as he pleascs If so the South is guilty.
Whether the war CIR that " usurpation"
will cease first remains to be seen. That
which you call usurpation," but which we
call liberty, will cease only when the South
ceases. Depend upon that. The South is
not mistaken" She knows well what she
is about. y.}a
