 WHAT SECESSION MRAss.--Ths Louisville Courier, once the organ of the Breckinridge De- mocracy of Kentucky, removed first to Bowling Green, then to NashSille, and seems to have gone up when,theitrai,ers evacuated the latter city., It was there that it put forth the follow ing philosophy of the Rebellion: s@.
 This has been called . fratricidal war by some, by others an irrepressible conflict between Freedom and Slavery. We respectfully take is- sue with the authors of both these ideas We are not the brothers of the Yankees, and the Slavery question is merely the pretext, not tAS cause of the war. The true irrepressible con- fict lies fundamentally in the hereditary hosti- ity, the sacred anifnosity, the eternal antsgen- ism, between the two races engaged.
 The Norman cavalier cannot brook the val. gar familiarity of the Saxon Yankee, while thS latter is continually devising some plan to bring down his aristocratic neighbor to his own dstes- ted level. Thus was the contest waged iu the | old United States. So long as Dickinson dough- faces were to be bought, and Cochrane cowards to be frighteneds so long was the Union tclera- ,ble to Southern men but when, owing to diyis- ions in our ranks, the Yankee hirelings placed one of their own spawn over us, political con- nection became uncomfortable, and separaaien necessary to preserve our self respect
 "As our Northern knsunan in England, ai- I ways minority, have ruled their Saxon eoun- trymen in political vassalage up to the present day, so have we, the ',slave oligarchs, governed the Yankees till within a twelyemonth. WO framed the Constitution, for seventy years mold- ed the policy oflthe Government. and placed our own men, or Northern men with Southern prin- ciples, in power. N EeHL.,iI T
 "On the 9th of November, 1860, the Puritans emancipated themselves, and are now in violent insurrecton against their former owners. This insane holiday freak will not last long, however, for dastards in fight. and incapable of self-gov- 1 ernment, they will inevitably again fall undcr the control of the superior race 4 few more Bull Run thrashings will bring them once more under the yoke as docile as the most loyal of our Ethiopian 'chattels.'" .'-....,. .,...
