ELSEWHERE tic telegraph gives Us . syn
opsis Of the Queens speech prorogmng
Parliament. The little Guelpish lady
speaks nothing that is not written or in
dorsed BY Palmerston, as everybody knows.
Recognition and armed intervention are
phanLoms which the good sense Of the
Southern people will no longer see by
night and by day. The British Govern
ment is determined to "take no part in
the contest"
Nov that there is no chance Of English
interference, another illusion should be dis
PEELED. We publish the speech Of DR..
Odds Of Ohio, as part Of the history Of
these remarkable times. Our people are
disposed to RELY too much on the pros
pect Of a guard smash of the Union OF
Yankee land. Such men as Vallandigham
AMI Dr. Olds are perhaps, like Burns,
dropped in the wrong country, but they
are not opponents Of Yankee sentiment.
There is no safety in any thing short Of
the bayonet. Hope Of something turning
up, OF The gradual omnipotence Of a peace
party Of the West separating from the
East, of a resistance to the onerous taxa
ton Of the Lincoln Government, have too
long deluded the public mind of the
South. All such hopes are fallacious.
The sober mind at last turns back TO the
tayonet as tho only peace-maker.
The North is a unit, and has been
unit since the commencement Of this war.
The fact could not be otherwise; for the
races North and South have always been
antagonitic IL vas so when the Federal
Government was inaugurated Many per-
sons are inclined to think that with the
Missouri Compromise began our troubles.
Not so. When the question of fixing al
permanent Capital was agitated in Con
gress the South Carolinians Insisted that
it should be removed from Philadelphia,
because the Quakers wore eternally poster
ing them about Slavery. 1t was with
much diffiulty that the Capital was loca-
ted on the banks of the Potomac, because
the New-Englanders and the Quakers were
opposed to a location SO Southern. Sub
sequent'y, the Quakers became silent, and
New-EngIand, having stolen thunder of
these quiet people, has been the hot-bed Of
Abolitiouism.
In the settlement Of this country, two
great streams Of civilization poured out.
One had its head at jamestown, and one
ut Plymouth Rock. The canting, witch
hanging nasaltwanging, money worship
nc, curiosity-loying, medJling, fanatica,
''isln" breeding followers Of Cromwell,
spread over the greater part Of the North
and West. jamestown stock chiefly peo-
pied the South, and small sections of the
Northwest Territory, which, with Ken
lucky, belonged to Virginia. It was the
defendants of the genuine Yankee which
met us at Manassas and before Richmond,
and fed from the Valley of the Shenan-
doah before Jackson. 1t was in part The
defendants Of the jamestown stock cross
ed with the Yankee, which met us at
Doneson and Shiloh, and who are our
stoutest forces. ANY one who will look
into this bit Of history viii see that 1t Is
true.
Extreme religious bigotry INDUCED for
moro than Two centuries, and constant in
termarriage have impoverished the Yankee
blood, until the Yankee mind has become
diseased and filed with innumeral, ''isrns."
On the contrary, though the South has pre-
served its great English features, as healthy
admixture of the blood of other races has
kept it from deg aneration. Besides, our
people were from the start tolerant and
well-bred haters of Cromwell and his
whole cropped, steeple-hated race, And its
accursed cant, and worshippIng another
God than Mammon. They have held hon
or as the highest excellence, and cultivated
the refnements of civilization.
With such race as people the North,
it is idle TO dream Of peace, for bigotry
has no ears and cannot hear-no eyes and
cannot see. Its sole object is subjugaton
for the purpose gain, the God Of Jacob
being wholly supplanted by the God Nam
mon. The slavery question was only agi-
tated for political supremacy, and the
Yankee only wanted political supremacy
that be might rob the South with a form
Of law.
Peace viii be declared when the North
is poyerished and exhausted-not before.
The South, then, should grid its loins for
the contest, and rely no longer on foreign
Intervention or Western secession, but up
on its bayonets. Let it go into the field
like Duke Godfrey, sayining "God for
the right and iust!' and conquer the
Saracens with the cold steel Of tho South
ern legion.
