What the Southerner's Think of
Northern People.

We clip the following article from the
columns Of the Richmond Wing. a paper
beyond all comparison the most respecta-
ble and moderate in the whole South, and
by no means of SO little weight or charac-
ter that its remarks can be passed by as
mere Southern vaunt and idle buster sig
nifying nothing. 1t speaks the deep p-seat-
ed belief and heartfelt conviction of even
the most intelligent secessionists-for the
editor Of the Wig is not only one of these
but one Of the most honest and upright
men to be found in the seceeded states.
We commend careful perusal Of the
article to our readers, and ask them to
Judge of the modesty. morals. and delica-
cy Of those men IN the south who Mr.
Packard speaks Of ss being the classical
representatives of American intelligence.
AIR. Turpie. Mr.. Corbin and Mr.. Packard
denominate these men as "om erring
southern 5rethren." and ask of their con-
stituents If their case does not merit the
same sympathy that ours did in the days
Of the revolution.
Fathers and brothers Of Marshall Conn
ty, read this article and then reflect how
you will feel casting your votes for men
who indorse these outrageous and dis
graceful sentiments by calling the writers
thereof "brethren." and thereby sanction
ing the uttcrances of these lying slave
drivers about your sisters and mothers:
1.-THE Yankee women, scraggy, scrawny.
and hard as whip-cord. breed like Norway
rats. and they fill all the brothels of the
continent. But they multiply-the only
scricturai precept they obcy-and boast
their millions. So do the Chinese: so do
the Apisda, and all other pests of the ami
NAL kingdom. Pull the bark from de-
cayed log. and You will see a mass of mag
gots full of vitality. in constant motion
and eternal gyration. one crawling over
one, and another creeping under another.
all precisely alike. all intently engaged in
preying upon one another. and you have
+ an apt illustration of Yankee numbers,
, Yankee equality. and Yankee greatness.
I'VE must bring these unfranchised
, slaves-the Yankees-back to their true
condition. They have long, very proba-
bly,. looked upon themselves as our social
inferiors-as our serfs; their mean, hig.
gardly livcs--their low. vulgar. and sor-

tion into them. But of o sudden, they
have come to imagine that their numerical

rising has all the characteristics of .fero
