many of them falling short and few Of them good line

The Yankee, and ,he negroes.

The testimony OF the New York Journal Of Commerce
to the fact that the negroes at Port Royal and vicinity
manifest desire to Join the Yankees, is significant
and important. The authority on which the statement
is made ia unimpeachable-ss is made by Yankees tes
ifyng against their own wishes and sentiments. Srik
ing as the fact Is, however, do not suppose il will
have any great Influence on the Yankee mind. That
race have boxed the compass the negro question,
and every days development only proves more cOnclu
sively that all their pretended philanthropy Is dictated
by envy and avarce. They are the people, who made
money by importing negroes from Africa; and 1t ap
pears from reports in the Northern papers, that they
still actively engaged in the traffic. The leading
dogma of the Seward party that there could be
property IN man. and yet Linconn his message, grave
" proposes receive negroes in payment Of the war
tax. They affected to believe, that the negroes were an
element of weakness Southern society," AID that they
had only TO make their appearance on Southern SOIL
to produce general uprising. Now they discover that
the negroes invaluable Of strength to the
Rebels and their chief ecretary confesses that 1t ia
vain and idle to wage this war; unless all the negroes
are seized and transported out Of the country They
have found too that the negroes distrus and bate Yam
koes-and instead ofockng to their standard keep at
safe distance, or only venture within their lines to
spy and betrsy them.
These discoveries have ds'ipatcd all ankee phlsnthr
ply and con.rabands a-e objects Of even greater abhor
renee to Yankees than Rebels Bot for their avarice
which will promp! them to sell all they can seize, their
ualignity would urge them to eI,crminate them.
OF the two races the negroes far superior to the
Yankees in every auiable quality. The Yankee is the
shrewder and the greater knave Of the two, and in
more eminent degree gifted with 4 capacity for lying
and swindng but in kindness Of heart and gentlemanly
pride and bearing, there is comparison. There is
not 10 all the twenty millions Of Yankees specimen Of
real gentleman in the Old English sense Of the word
and the negroes, with all their repued duluess pei
feotly cognizant Of the fact-and no man holds black
guard and pretender in such contempt gentleman

not already done so-should they ever make the &C.
