THE ssMAsTER RACE.
! The Richmond Wing, of june 25th
had the following article, stating anew
j the grounds of contest between the reb
i els and the nation. 1t was to establish
the right of the "master-race" of slave
holding aristeerats to rule, that thirty
or forty thousand poor whites, forced
4 into the rebel army, and died befor.

manhood to the niongrel and many

Indeed the II hole expsrienoe af thy
/ war IS an attestation Of the truth long
fsince discovered by impartial observers
4 that the master race Of the continent il
found in the Southern States. Of "a
better stock, originally, and habituated
to ma nlier pursuits and exercises, they
have ruled in affairs of state by force oi
the stronger will aud larger wisdom that
pertain to and distinguish superior races
of men, while ON the field of battle they
have in every contest held priority 81
place, conceded to them by their pl es-
ent adyersaries.
/ This natural dominancy of the South
ern people has had much to do in bring
ing on the war; The inferior race,
grown strong in numbers and ambitious
from prosperity, have repolted against
I and now seek to overthrow and destroy
those whose superiority was constant
course of envy and self reproach -
There is no fercer malevelenee than
that of caste, and it IS this which has SO
long stirred the Yankee bile. Always,
in the presence Of Southern gentlemen,
he has felt strong and painfully re-
pressed impulse to take off his hat
This conscious, inferiority has CALLED
| the jealous and malignant creature un-
| til he has broken out In servile insur-
ERECTION. He has vainly concluded that
his numbers can oYerwhelm and exter-
inmate the subjects of his envy, and he,
succeeded to the broad acres and liberal
habitations Of the Southern gentry, will
come to be looked upon as a gentleman
| too! s
IS With US the contest is one for hered-
Fitary rights, fer the sacred things at
home, for the old repute of the better
blood; with the Yankee it is rebellious
land infatuated struggle for place he
| is unworthy Of, for privileges he would
degrade, for property he would barter,
and for institutions he could neither
comprehend nor enjoy. It is the old
and never ending strife between patri :
clan and proletarian, Letween gentle
and vile. 1t is the offer of battle On a
new field of muscle against spirit, num-
befs against courage. It is not upon
Southern soil and among the descend
ants of Cavaliers and Huguenots that
this battle will go in favor of brute force.
Treason Must be Dumb.
One day last week lame soldier
limped by hotel in Rockford, and a
louuging fellow on the ported inquired
the nature of his injury. II Was
-woun led at Pittsburg Landing" said
the volunteer, proudly Served you
right" rejoined his interrogation. i
wish every id man of you had been
shot" The wounded soldier, stung by
the insult, felt more keenly than ever
the disability of his wound, and so as
sured the scoundrel, who would not
have been personally safe had the vol
untecr been armed. But it was not to
end thus. Strong hands were laid upon
the knave, stalwart forms lifted him,
and stout boots accelerated his progress
to grove hear the outskirts, where a
convenient limb and highly suggestive
cord were the paraphernalia in waiting.
The traitor was drawn up thrice until
he felt his coward soul we'll nigh its de-
parture. He begged and prayed, and
filed the air with his supplications, and
the moose was relaxed He was made
to repeat the oath of allegiance, and
then stout rail was his conveyance out
of the town, whose precincts he will not
be likely soou to cross again. The
Rockford patriots were thoroughly
reused, aud the lesson they gave a good
one, and words of treason III that place
must be low and of secret utterance
hereafter. AID this is the right feeling.
1t is quite time for loyal men to declare
that Treason mast be dumG either in
spo ken words, or in newspaper columns
that reek with disloyalty. 1t is not the
mob spirit that we would rouse, but if
we arm our brothers and send theAi to
the field to punish rebels with baEdflet
and ball, are We to permit in our own
communities, home traitors to aeery the
holy cause of the country, md aim to
weaken patriotism among Gs?-- Chicago
