TIE PCRTTANs AND THE CAyA.
u.FCRTS

L1EHs.
The Mobile laegrap. argues that the
South must beat the North because the
blood Of the Yankees has d. ter1orated by
antermarriage, while that Of the Southrons
has improved BY crossing! Its language
is this:
In the settlement Of this country, two great
streams OF c:T,ilza:ion poured ont One had its
p ey.worthipine. carlazFy-'ovils:. @edallng'
spread over I'll The 's srea.r part u the north and
wet. Jau estoxn erock chiefly peopled the
south. and small sections of the Northwest Terri
Extreme Religious bigotry 1ndulged for more
1hsn two centuries, aud constant ln.ermarriage |
1xnbee mind has become decssed and flied with |
lrnumcrahle t'isns." On the contrary, though |
the south has preserved ts great English features
healthy admixtuFe OF the blond OF oth-r racee |
has Kept 1t from degeneration. Besides, peo-
pic were from the start tolerant aud well-brcd
pie hated .ace, and 1rs nccu,s-d cant, and Wor-
shipping another G,d than Mammon- They haze
beId honor a. the highest excellence, and cultl-
waited the refaemente Of civilization
These assertions will provoke smile
particularly that in regard to the ''healthy
character Of the admixture OF blood Of
other races" down in Dixie. The only
race Of people with which the chiyalry
amalgamate are the negroes. The "healthy
admizture of blood" that "keeps the
Sou:hrons from dtgenerating' is fusion
of the blood Of the jamestown stock
with that of the Congo breed The pro-
duct Of this amalgamation is race OF mu-
lattocs. On the other hand, the Puritans
Of the North have freely mixed
blood with the children of Germans
and Irish. The old CromTelltan English
stock that streamed forth from Plymouth
Rock has mingled with the Celtic aud
Teutonic streams that hare poured into
The North during the past hundred years.
In no part Of the earth has tho En- 5lish,
the German, and the Irish races SO freely
United blood as in tie Northern States,
and in no country has the cavalier and the
niger SO largely anal lyamatcd as in the
South. There can scarcely be found
Shareholder family in the whole South
which is not united by ties Of eonsanguin-
ity with the African.
We are inclined to think the Mobile
I.ltgraJh man speaks ironically. He cer-
t;iuly must, when he says: "Besldes oul
,,coplc were from the start, tolerant ant
we'll b1cd-holGiug honor as the highes
excellence. and culuyatiDg the rednement
cf ciyiliz atiou" Ii n:ls been notorious tt
the vo,id that tie South is pEc-emlnent
" the land Ct intolerance and brutality
the land where Lynch law is paramount
to all legal authority; where freedom {
speech ard of the press, Of lndlviduc
opinion and action are suppressed b
brute force; where every thing Is mad
10 succumb to the will Of the slave brecde
4 land where the poor mans children al
denied education or equal rights with tt
Shareholders; where the "nigge1le
whites arc dcspised and treated ;
s'trash' By the Shareholders: q land whe1
society is divided into domiaeering 6lay
holders; DEGRADED nou-slayeholders an
down troddcn slaves; 4 country where tt
"retincments of civilization are unknown
where slavery is the highest divinity az
the only God 1ha! is sincerely worslllppe'
To claim precedence for such system {
society over the ciyijzatloa Of the land {
fr.c speech, free schools, liberation, au
public Improvements, is to offer insult
the human undcrst l1ding.
