, curRT AND a DIFFUSION.

CHERT AND = DIFFUSION.
Never was Yankee mendscity so tested, OF
spch heavy draws made upon Yankee imagin-
alton. as at present, in the invention Of miser-
able devices which will serve to lash the north
ern mind up TO the frenzy necessary to sup
p9rt LrvcoLN's atrocious war policg. "This
WARP saws an influential northern journal-the
New York WorId-"can never end BY a sePa-
ration Of the seeded from the loyal States.
We ksUs got TO SEbdus them, or they DiR sa6dEe
as. Il is to be read as clearly in the signs of
the times as if it were written en the face of
the sky with a sunbeam, that if the war does
not end in the suppression of the rebellion, 1t
must end in general anarchy"
Such is the dishonest character of an asser-
ton which is made, with the full conscious
ness Of its falsity, bya paper whose every effort
is now directed to the discovery Of appliances
nesdrul to stimulate the tagging courage and
d~rooping energies Of the Hessian soldiery.
Great fear is entertained evidently that the
Bah Run abortion, with its ch7grin, its NOR
tlEcation and its incaiculable disasters, VIII
superinduce a powerful reaction in the Paolle
sentiment Of the North, and expose to some
extent their ignorance in regard to the capa-
biIity of the Confederate Government to
maintain itself through the present desperate
and bloody struggle.
To counteract any such supposed influence,
aad discourage any intention that may be
manifested to acknowledge the independence
OF the south " in lieu of doing SO one or
more wears hence, Yankee knavsryhas prompt
ed a resort to this vile expsdient. Nor is the
argument allowed to endhere but it is further
asserted BY the same journal that the South de-
sires something more than to be " let alone
bg the North-that, should our demands be
Welded TO, we would become flushed with AFRO
gance aud dissatisfaction, aud insist that the
Union shall be reconstructed on the basis OF the
Southern Constitution
In similar connection The New York Times,
commenting on the needless depression Of pub
lie feeling, concludes as follows:
Is not the ark of republication yet safe in
the hands Of the loyal millions of the free
States ? viii JEFF. Davis thus soon bend the
neck Of the free North to his yoke viii Atri-
can slavery, and it's accused spirit of riot, "a
pine and revolution, be established IN tyranny
ever northern society, when only a thousand
OF our gathering millions Of soldiers have ralteh
m~4nful,y in opposing il? NO, surely. our
great people are reserved for no such ignoole
fate.
It is altogether needless for US to pronounce
this farcicaI attempt at imposition upon north
ern creduIitv a miserable cheat and a transPa-
rent delusion-so p~alpabls that be who 'runs
NAV ready it. That periol has come in the
opinion Of southern people, contemplated
by the American Declaration Of Independence,
when Il 0becomes necessary for one people 10
dissolve the political bands which have con
nected them with another, and to assume
among the powers Of earth the separate and
canal station to which the laws Of nature and
Of natures God entitle hem" The true pol
icy Of the Southern ConfedsracY has been
properly stated by its President. All 1t asks
ef the North is noD-iEtsrfeTenee with the inal-
ienable right Of its citizens to govern them
selves, OF in the plain and expressive language
OF the President himself, to abe let alone" So
far from attempting to "subdus' the pestilent
and degraded race Of wretchsd ingrates from
whom hey have JUS. separated, for the Pur-
pose Of having the late federal Union ''recon-
s.ructed'' on any terms whatever, we believe
it to be the universal sentiment Of our people
never to he contaminated with the odiOus
denominations Of a political alliance with them
again, even should they lay Town their arms,
sue for peace and accord to our authorities
the privilege Of debating the terms.
The incilents Of this war have taught the
South entirely too much in regard to the char
acter OF the Yankees for her ever to be de-
luded again into her former state of vassalage
to them. They are a mean, sordid, contempt
ible and untrCstworthy ace-we may say, in
fact, a distinct civilization from the people Of
the South, similar to them in but few, different
from them in many respects. At any rate
our political eopartaership with them has ter
minated, and the cause which led to the result
is irremediahle. The Union Of the South with
the Thugs and SePoys of YankeedOm has per-
formed its required function and duly expired,
without elicitiDg a tear from one Of her loyal
sons. Should our lust for territorial eXpan-
sion be stimulated by some unforeseen necessity
in the future, the good sense Of our people,
guided By the experiences Of the past, will point
to other fields Of conquest where an opportu-
nifty will be offered them to cross the sword in
civilized warfare with Christians and gentle
men.
