What Is Thought Of our Adopted
Citizens in the South.

Let the Germans, the English the Irish
let adopted citizens of every clime-read me
following extract from nm article in De Bows
Review, Il New Orleans periodical of standing
in the South, and then, if they can, express
anything like sympathy for Jeff. Davis and
his traitorous followers. The article is de-
praved in sentiment-pitiable in its attempt
ed severity. Its excessive veaom, however,
renders it simply ridiculous. Read;
"Our women are all conservative, moral i,
religious, and senstiyely modest, and abhor
the beastly North for its inidelity, gross i'm
morality, RIGHTEOUSNESS, anarchy and agra
rianism. 'Tis they and the clergy who lead
and direct the disunion movement. 1t is a
gross mistake to suppose the 'Nigger QueS-
ton alone is the cause of the dissension
between the North and South. We are
patriclans aud gentlemen, while they are
nation of little shop-keepers, filthy, greazy
mechanics, small farmers, and men who have
to scork for a living We are of the noble
line of royal blooded Cavaliers, Jacobites and
Huguenots, who settled the South, and
naturally hate, contemn and despise with
loathing and adherence the Puritans, filthy
whisky-drinking Irish, dirty, sour-kraut
Dutch, beastly, bulldog English, the scum
of European society generally, that had to
leave their country for their country's good
who settled the North. We are the decend-
ants of master races, who were born to rule :;
they of the Saxon scrfs, who wore rings of
brass in their noses as a token of their SER
Witty to our fathers, the Norman patricians
We are the most aristocratc people in the
world. Pride of caste and color, and
privilege makes every white man South an
riS rat in foolipn Ap1 =. I,
only safeguard of liberty At the North,
pure Democracy, less government, anarchy
and agrarianism Our enemies, the stupid,
sensual, impudent, ignorant masses of thu
disgusting democratic North-who are as
foolish as they are depraved-could not read
the signs OF the times, did not dream of dis
union, but rushed on as heedlessly as a greedy
drove of hungry hogs at the call of their
owners. They were promised plunder, and
fired; were promised bread, and given a
stone. Our enemies are starving and dis
organized. while we are drilled, equipped and
armed to the teeth, and will fight like tigers,
with the Northern barbarians' threat of hemp
and bullet before our eyes The cold,
hungry, naked masses Of the North are at
war with their leaders; they are mute,
paralyzed panic-stricken, and have no plan
of action for the future. They who deluded
them must take care of them. Better--a
thousand times better-to come under the
dominion of free niggers or gypsies, thaa of
beastly Yankees, sour-kraut Dutch, lousy
Irish, or filthy Canadians. Gypsies and free
niggers have many amiable, noble and gen.
erous traits, but this reeking scum of crea-
ton have none
Senator Wade says, and Seward too, that
the North will absorb Canada. They are
half true. The vile sensual, animal, brutal,
in6del, superstitiouS democracy of Canada,
the filthy Yankee States and the imbruted
Northwest. will in some manner coalesce,
and Senator johnson, of Tennessee, will join
them. But when Canada, New England, the
Northwest, and the whole beas!ly, puritanic,
whisky-drlnking, ur-kraut, free nigger,
infdel, superstitious, licentious, democratic,
mobocratic population of the free States be-
come masters of New York-what then p
