Ihe following from the New York Evening Post,
of the 18th inst proves incontesby that Abolition
tanatlcism makes intelligent men fools, as well as
thieves and towards:
These braggarts, who talk as If they we're in the
habit OF eating Uaion man for breakfast every day.
lose no time n appealing for foreign help for their
bad cause. But they will not get it. Great Britain
ana France understand very well that all the cotton
which the South has to sell will be shipped from
loyal ports without their intervention. They know
that the planters cannot eat cotton that they can
not afford TO keep IT, and that New York, philadel
phia and Boston are excellent avenues for the safe
export Of all that il raised. They are not alarmed
about their cotton.
The Confederate States have asked for no
foreign help They have notappealed nor are
they going to appeal, to g Great Britain and
France Y for assistance. All they are going to ask
those Governments is for recognition, and that
they will obtain. So far as the North is concerned,
they feel fully confident Of whipping Lincoln's
myrmidons wherever and whenever they have
fair chance at them
But the Posts idea about the cotton crop find
ing its way to market, foreign or otherwise,
through New York, Philadelphia and Boston,"
is 50 supremely rich that it conyulses US with
laughter, and will cause grim smile on the other
side Of the water. Why are you such fools as not
to know that such a contingency has already been
provided for; and that the planter, factor, con-
ductors and managers of railroads, shippers and
captains Of steamboats,, or controllers of any other
means Of transportation, would be shot like mad
dogs and deservedly, too-and their property
conGscated, if they attempted to forward bale of
cotton Northward, until the blockading s1uadrons
were Withdrawn, peace declared, and the indie
pendence Of the Confederate States recognized?
We cannot eat CO tten," and don't intend to-,
having plenty of substantial food to eat and plenty
of clothing to wear, but we can keep our cotton
on the plantations, and there the crop is going
to stay safely, accumulatng in value, paying its
owners well for the detention, until those who
want it come for it, and take it away-briDgiDg us
all we want to buy in exchange, and the balance
in gold. If the aforesaid "Great Britain and
France" don't want our cotton-won't trade with
uswont allow Us to ill their ships with profitable
cargoes of our cotton--t will be rather hard on US,
but we will accommodate ourselves to circum-
stances, and will cheerfu!ly endure any privaton,
any ruin, any fate-even death itself, were death q
million fold more terrible than poor 1nortaIs
imagine than live under the foul rule OF
Abolitiondom. That is what we will not submit
to under any circumstances whatever.
If the New York Post will tell US the amount Of
cotton the Yankee manufacturers have on hand
we will tell the Post wien their manufactures will
become late-deserted-when some
hundEeds Of millions Of invested capital will cease
to yield dividend-Wiil become valueless. Will
the Post vouchsafe the information?
II makes little difference however. The unre
lieved fendishness manifested by the Aboitionists
towards the Southern people-amounting in Ian
