Daily Nashville union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1862, 1862-05-24

1t threatens that the Southern feudal
oligarchs will whip the white-labOring
classes until they bring them under the
yoke as dOcile as the most loyal of our
Ethiopian chattels!"
Such are the infamous avowals of
leading newspaper Of Nashville in the
interest of Governor Harris, of General
Harding, of Washington Barrow, of the
Douglases, the Morgans, and others. Are
the working-mcn, the mechanics, the la
bOrers, the small shOp-keepers of Nash
Vile blind that they will follow these
Southern Rights leaders to the ruin Of
their own liberties I? Will the small farm
ers of Tennessee, the men who make an
honorable and independent living off their
farms of one hundred and two hundred
acres, the bone and sinew as well as the
overwhelming majority of this State,
bow their necks to the yoke of these self
styled sons of the Norman Cavaliers
Again we say, read the article of the
Courier; yes read it, and lay it away and
re-read it until your manly souls are
fired.-with indignation at the insOlent
minion of aristOcracy, who could dare
thus in the very Capital. of Tennessee,
insult the manhood Of four-fifths of her
noble children ?
The war OF Races--ThO Puritan ana
the Cavalier.
This has been called fratricidal war
by some, by others an irrepressible con-
lict between freedom and slavery. We
respectfully take issue with the authors
of both of these ideas. We are not The
brothers Of he Yankees, and tie Slavery que8-
ton is merely the protect, not the cause of
the ,car. The true irrepressible conflict
lies fundamentally in the hereditary has
6lity, the sacred luminosity the eternal
antGqonism Jet,Oeen he t10o races engaqea.
The Yankee race is in origin, charac-
ter and manners totally distinct from
our own. The Southerner is distin-
guished for his dignified courtesy, pro-
fuse hospitality, and MS TEUDAL NODE
OF LIFE, generally upon extensive plan
tations cultivated by slaves. The YAM
kee, close and penuious, is chiefly found
in large cities, trading his notions or
bartering his principles. The former is
the soul Of honor, money is the god of
the latter. When was the time within
the memory of the aged, that our chill
dren were not brought up to distrust
despise and hate the Yankees
II is beyond question that the dOmi
nant element at the North at this mo-
ment, is the pOsterity of the old Saxon,
witch burning Puritans, who settled in
New England in the seventeenth CEN
tury. On the other hand, Maryland, |
Virginia and the Carolinas were colOniz-
ed by cavaliers, the younger sons Of those
Norman BarOns whose sons logged the
Saxons at Hastings in 1866, |
and reduced them TO a vassalage from
which they have never yet been thor
Oughly emancipated.
Now the history of England and the
United States proves that these two an
tagonistic elements cannot co-exist in |
the same political community upon a
basis of equality. The sgrarian, infdel, |
tyrannical mob instincts of the Puritan
ical Yankees exhibit themselves whence
yer they obtain power and make them
the political reptiles, the curse Of con-
stitutional government. The Norman cat
alisr cannot brook he vulgar familiarity Of |
he Sar0n Yankee, whilst the latter is |
continually devising some plan to bring |
down his ariStOcrGtic rsighJor 10 his oOl |
2etestea Ie,sl, Thus was the contest waged |
in the old United States. So long as
Dickinson dough-faces were TO be bought |
and CochTane towards 10 be frightened, |
30 long was the Union tolerable TO South
ern men; but when, owing 10 divisions /
