The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1861-08-13

arouslng the people of the North against the South
He that he has the best authority for saving that
Lincoln and his advisers were convinced that they
could not reinforce provision the Fort, and that
their attempt to do for other purpose than
to have Major Anderson and his men killed so that
the Northern people might become enraged and enable
him (iincolh) toprosecue discriminating war against
the South
If the Northern people themselves had surrender
ed their liberties Lincoln and become his vas
SAILS they would lin view of his devlish desgns rise
in their might and hurl him and his fendish cabinet
from Washington. But they themselves have become
thoroughly subiugated while attempting TO subiugate
the Sonth, and nothing good can be expected from
| them.
OUTRAGEOUS NILLAINY.-The Fcderalsts have burnt
the town of Hampton, Va. They had possession of the
town for some time past, and being afraid that Cen
Magruder, the commander at Yorktown, would rout
them, they evacuated it and the on fire on the
night of the 18th inst This is the way the wretches
will all Southern towns if they get chance 1t
is to be hoped that the day is far distant when the
sword and fire will be carried into their country.
~
BLOOD BLOOD."-The Charleston Mercury is
dissatisfied with the Kind treatment extended to the
Northern vandas captured prisoners. In view of
the manner in which the North is treating our own
men, it thinks retaliation should be adopted. This feel
ing is rapidly gaining ground in the South and if the
Government does not retaliate, think the people
will begin to execute vengeance upon those who have
invaded our soil aud are burning towns However
much such retaliatory measures may be abhOrred by
civilized men, yet the mpudence and outrage of the
Yankees and their rulers will soon force their adoption
The communications of President Davis are treated
with silent contempt by Lincoln, and he allows
his dead the battle field (if not buried by
SouthernerS) rather than send flag of truce to our
! q
christians compared with the Lincolnites, and we
! would sooner trust them.
We still hope that retaliation may be rendered
necessary but il has be resorted to, let every
Southern go into it with determination to ex-
terminate the low-e of men who are fighting for
Misunderstanding no quarter and giving
TAXES LEvIED.-Lincolns Secretary of the Treasury
has appOrtioncd each State the be raised
by direct taxation to prevent the concern known the
T. s. Government from failing. North Carolina is put
down for 100000, South Carolina 5000 900, Virginia
| about Sl,4O0,OOO. The mpudent fellows if they
get money until they get it from N. c., c. and
Va, they will soon die poor.
