SOUTHERN VIEWS OF NORTHERN
SOLDIERS.
The annexed article from the Richmond
Way Examiner, is fair sample Of the manner
in which the Southern press has, for the last
thirty years, portrayed the composition Of
Northern society. 1t is not one whit more
false, or malignant, than the general and aver.
age character Of the ideas with which the
Southern mind has been poisoned for q genera.
ton.
The special application of this particular ar.
ticle of the Richmond Examiner, is to the sol.
diery, the product of this imaginary condition
of things at the North, brought South to be
shot, so that they may not rob and murder the
rich at home.
1t may be presumed that the mass Of the
people at the South actually believe the repre-
sentations made so persstently by their editors
and stump orators. II SO, they know as little
Of the North, as the world does Of the interior
of Japan, and the time has fully come to awake
them from their delusions.
DIsPosING OF THEIR SURPLUS POPU.
LATlON.
New York, Pennsylvania, and the New Eng
land States have now q large surplus popula.
ton, of which they must in some way dispose,
or else, sooner than starve, they will begin at
home the work Of agrarisnism. The rich must
employ and support this population, and the
loes Of the Southern market leaving them
nothing to do at home, it has become necessary
to employ them abroad. They promise them
the lands of Virginia and Maryland, we'll know.
ing they can never acquire them-but, in truth,
all they want is to get rid of them, and the fast
er we kill this proletoriat, the more the proper.
ty holders of the North will be pleased. They
know full well they cannot conquer the South /;
but if they spend one.fourth Of their wealth in
sending Germans to be shot and fill bitches, or
to die Of fever in the South, they will be great
defeat cleans them of intestine enemies. If
the North could loan million or so Of its ruff
fans to the South, and get them all killed up,
the North would be herself again. The mob
would be cleaned out and men Of property
might 60 to bed at night without fear Of being
killed or plundered ere morning. IT'S q mat.
ter of life or death with them. They must get
onehalf of their laboring population to invade
the South or they will sack their cities at home.
1t is q dangerous experiment to put arms in
their hands-ten times more dangerous than it
would be to arm our slaves-for the negroes
love and respect their masters; the operatives
hate and despse their vulgar, psrvenu bosses.
Arming the laboring class at the North is
frsught with danger, but men driven TO OK.
tremities will try the experiment.
II boldly and at once we meet these foreign
paupers, and drive them back among their mas.
ters, who have sent them among US, in truth, to
| be shot, whilst pretending they should conquer
farms; if we drive them back, they will turn
upon their masters, and sack and pillsge the
do, rather than again attempt the conquest Of
the South.
| Yet the South has had bloody work before
it. There are at least half million Of surplus
male laborers in the Northeast, who cannot be
provided with collins, bitches, or farms, in the
South. Property holders would make a good
bargain to give hundred dollars head to
have them shot, or in some manner gotten out
of the way. There is no opening now for such
an operation, except by descent upon the South
If we give the first comers prompt and warm
reception-if we prove to them that invading
the South is bad speculstion-we shall soon
end the war; but partial success in the begin
ming may delude these poor foreigners into the
belief that they can ultimately drive both
whites and blacks from the South, and divide
its fair fields among themselves. The natives
of the North have no idea of fighting US them
selves, but will send at any cost hundreds o.
thousands of foreigners TO be shot by US. Lee
US recollect, then, that if this war be matter o
life or death business with US, it is equally &C
with the North. We are in no danger Of ser
vile insurrection. but they are sure to have
bloody and relentless war of labor against cap
ital, unless they can find homes or hospitabl,
graves for million or SO of operatives.
