Unblushins lmpudencc.

TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1891
Unblnshins lmpudence.
We are informed that a number OF persons
lately residing in the Northern States, are no."
in cur midst, seeking Office at the hands Of Inc
Government of the Confederate States Iney
inportune editors Of newspapers to re-puoiisn
resolutions and proceedings Of meetings, helo
q year ago in the Free States, IN which their
precious names appear as supporters OF the
Constitution, and advocates Of justice to the
South. They prefer their claims to office on
the ground that they are national men, sym
pa,h;zing with the South, and,ostracised by
the Republicans Of the North.
Can the force of impudence' 60 further than
;hisg Do these people think that the South
is forever to be gulled by professions Of
attachment to her rights, which cost these pG-
triots nothing to make? Do they think that
their obscure action in some ward meeting, IN
which they denounced the Abolitionists, give
them a claim upon the South, which can only
bv cancelled by an acknowledgement in dol
lars and cents ? If these voTacious cormorants,
whose all devouring appetite for Office is only
excelled BY their uublushiug impudence, will
oalv stay at home, and breast boldly and man
full; The swelling tide of Northern aggression
If they will incur personal risk and pecuniary
sacrifices at home for the cause Of Constitu-
tiona! liberty and Southern rights; they would
then en;itle themselves to our confidence and
respect
Why do they no; stay at home and aYow
their sentiments of love and affection Tor the
South, amidst the iniuriated mobs Of fanatics
VINO arc seeking our destruction: or, II their
love Cor US colnpels them to come here, would
it not DO more modest and appropriate for them
TO shoulder their muskets and go into the
ranks Of the Southern army?
These adventurers and charlatans, these
Dugsld Dalghetty's, ready, for a consideration,
to side With any party and to advocate any
cause, disappointed in their schemes for office
a, home, infest our community and annoy
Southern gentlemen with their pertinaclous
application for Office. How many of them will
enlis; in the ranks where thousands Of gentle
men CT education and wealth are now serving:
No. enc of them. co..
If.rue patriotism minated them, they would
inangurs,e e revolution in the Abolition States,
where wo really need thei: services. We
have plenty Of persons in our section who are
entirely competent to servo the Southern Re-
=, - e. IA ,o-.t,ya roc;tiOpa
God forbid that their number should be in
creased BY these adventures from the North.
God help our Southern volunteers if these men
are placed in positions of pablo trust Yankee
influence has already exerted q most injurious
eFtc, upon our cause. 1t is our present bust
ness 10 drive it away from every section OF
our country. We have nc. use for any
Northern man with Southern principles, unless
his principles carry him where so many Of the
honest and best of the South are now to be
:ourd-narnely, in the ranks where. hard fight
ing and hard fare will attest his patriotism and
his Southern principles.
Let these people at once be told what is ex-
pected OF them. When they earn o place in the
Southern confidence by fighting for it on the
battle field, they should have it; but if they
are not equal to that effort, let them carry their
cheap Yankee commodity back TO their own
hcrses and dispose of it to the best advantage
to Lincoln and Greeley.
To the Tennessee Regiments In Virginia.
We nave been requested to call the attention
o: the officers of the Tennessee Regiments, in

wish to have Tennessee separated from the
Lincoln dsspotism, will endorse on their tick
