ME w ENGLAND.

Six states-Mane, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and COnneGticut-are
known and designated by the common title Of
New England" The people of these States have
attained undue Importance in the Government On
account of certain unengiable qualities they pos
segs--in which shrowdness industry, perseverance,
unscrapulousness, knavery and cowardice, are the
least blamable characteristics. Commencing the
work of fanaticsm by splitting on the graves Of
their fathers aud Mothers (who were Shareholders,
and right thrifty slavcholders, at thaD they have
spread themselves over the free States until their
influence has become paramount and dissolution
of the Union, resulting therefrom inevitable.
Common shayers of the incomes of others
rioting in the plumbers which oppressive tariffs
levied upon their neighbors- gamers by abomin-
able fishing bounties and navigation law heyeries
they gradually grew rich, but not satisfied. The
whole country, but especially the South paid them
huge sums of tribute money annually, in the hope
that the bloodsuckers would keep the peace. All,
however, avaed nothing with the New England
vampires. The greater the tribute, the greater
their rapacity Just in proportion to the Difference
meted out to them, the greater their demands.
Honorable treatment was met with dishonest re-
turns. Courtesy was repaid by discourtesy; and
in all respects they proved bad neighbors, promo
ters Of wicked blood, envy, hatred, robbery, and
all uncharitableness. In nothing were they faith
ful. in everything were they fathless. They
violated the ws-trampled upon the Constitu-
tion-defed the Courts-and declared that they
were more righteous than Others and had, conse-
quently, the right to despoiI, outrage and murder
the citizens of the Southern States with inpunity
More than this :: having set themselves above the
laws and Constitution Of their country, they pro-
ceeded to rail at the doctrines of the Bible and the
laws of Con! They boldly asserted and main
tanned that nothing could, would Or should satisfy
them, but " an antslavery Church, an anti-sIayery
Bible and an anti-slavery GoD."
From these States, and from the people they
have sent abroad throughout the Northern land in
all its length and breadth, all the mischief has
arisen and now that the Union is dissolved, with
no possible chance Of reconstruction, except as
preliminary that the New England States shall be
permanently expelled, they and their friends mourn
and weep plenteously and piteously. We opine
their crocodile tears will meet with such treatment
as equity and justice demand.
A late number Of the Chicago Tribune --Lincoln's
home organ-contaiRs a lengthy and labored Gu
logy upon New England, and declares that the
proposition to expel those States, preliminary to
reconstruction Of the late Union, is mpractcable
and absurd-that such an event is wholly and
absolutely impossible.
Very well. The Chicago Tribune may be cor
rect but if it il, such thing as Reorganization
of the late Government is beyond the power of
mortal man. The pcoplo Of the South will not,
under any circumstances whatever, consent to a
renewal of political and governmental relations
with the New England States. We doubt, indeed,
whether the Southern Republic, now formed, will
enter into serious negotiations with view to re-
construction, unless those Of the Northern States
disposed to act honorably and righteously, first
kick the New En8landers overheard uncere-
moniously and oternally. By thus showing their
sincerity, a fair and reasonable arrangement
might be arrived at.
Our Chicago cotcmporary is in favor of armed
coercion, besides being tremendous friend of the
New England Yankees. He descants glorously
| about the prosperity wealth and power of New
England. We trust VIC may be permitted to pro
pound simple interrogatory: In case every man
ufactnring establishment in New England should
be closed, and every New England ship should be
swept from the ocean, and become the prey OF
hostile priEateers, and everything made, mamfac
tured produced or for sale in that section of coun
try, could be purchased twenty per cent. cheaper
in Southern ports-what would become of thu
prosperity, wealth and power of the aforesaid
States?
What is involved in the foregoing interrogatory
may happen in a very few weeks. The arrange
mepts to that end are nearly all Complcted anG
all 1cW be completed before Lincoln will be ablt
to control the powers Of the late General Govern
ment. Let armed coercion be attempted let
single drop Of Southern blood be shed by Abolition
orders; and all the seas under the canopy @
heaven will swarm with priVateers warning upol
and destroying New England and Northern com
merGe and merchantmen, while not single flakt
Of cotton will be allowed to supply their manu-
factories, i'll which they have hundreds of million
of dollars invested, and upon which hundreds 0
thousands Of their operatives depend for bread.
| The Chicago Tribune is an Abolition coercion
paper. How likes it the picture we have drawn
It will as surely be realized as that the sun vii
ever rise again, if the policy it advocates is evel
attempted to bo carried out by the President o
| its choice.
