De Bow on the Revolution.
De Bow publishes monthly magazine at
New Orleans, the most influential and respecta-
Bile periodical in the Slave States. The follow
ing is its theory of the Revolution:
Our women are all conservative, moral, reli.
gious, and sensitively modest, and abhor the
North for its infdelity, gross immortality licen.
tiousness, anarchy, and agrarianism. IT'S they
and the clergy who lead and direct the Disunion
movement. 1t is u gross mistake to suppose that
Abolition alone ia the cause of dissension be-
tween the North and South. The Cavaliers, JAG
obites, and Huguenots, who settled the South,
naturally hate, contemn, and despise the Puri-
tans who settled the North. The former are mas
te- races-the latter are slave race, the de
scendaEts Of the Saxon serfs. The former are
Mediterranean races, descendants of the Ro.
mans; for Cavaliers and Jacobites are of Norman
descent. and the Normans were of Roman des-
cent and SO were the Huguenots. The Saxons
and Angles, the ancestors of the Yankees, come
from the cold and marshy regions of the North,
where man is little more than a cold-blooded,
amphibious bped.
world. Pride of caste, and color, and privilege,
makes every white man an aristocrat in feeling.
Aristocracy is the only safeguard of liberty, the
only power ws.chful and strong enough to ex.
/ clude monarchical despotism. Attic North, the
progress and tendency of opinion is to pure de
mocracy, less government, anarchy, and agra
rianism. Their hatred of the South will acceler.
ate this noxious current of opinion; and anarchy
will soon wind up in military despotism. There
will be as many little military despots as there
are now States, for no usurper will WELD means
sufficient to conquer or fuse into one several
States. 1t will be great improvement in Nor
thern affairs, and the sooner it comes about the
better. Military despotism is far preferable to
Northern Democracy, agrarianism, infdelity, and
free love.
We were prepared by the unerring signs Of
the times to expect the election of Lincoln, and
prepared to dissolve the Union sooner than sub
nit Our enemies, the stupid, sensual, ignorant
masses of the North, who are foolish as they are
depraved, could not read the signs of the times
did not dream of disunion, but rushed on as
as heedlessly as a greedy drove of hungry hogs
at the call of their owners. They were promised
plunder and find famine; promised "bread
and were given stone" Our enemies are
starving and dissrganized. The cold, naked
hungry masses, are at war with their leaders,
