The New scheme of DlGunIOn.


The Southern States have a special hatred Of
New England. If there is any part Of the Union
which the rebel politicians Of South Carolina
regard with more malignant anlmosity than
another, II is Massachusetts. II there Ia any
part Of the free States of which they speak with
particular spite, II is the six which lie cast OF
the boundary Of the State Of New York;
Here Is a paragraph from newspaper in this
splteful veins
"There was never any political difference be-
tween the West and the South until the Puritan
spirit Of New England, which, always informed
ding and prosecuting, originated il. That spirit
which hung Quakers, bsnished Baptists, burnt
men for being witches, and which, in modern
times, wants 10 prescribe the drink, religion and
morals ofthe whole world which burnt Catholic
converts, and dispatched state inquisitorialc COM
mitteeG TO pry into Catholic nunneries; which
during the past year, rode Democratic editors on
rails, tarred and foathered them, and mobbed
Democrats simply because they were Democrats,
took on a sudden the idea into Its head that Its
mission vas TO set free the servants Of other peO-
pie and other States It's deviish Ingenuity in
fomenting this question has brought all the
trouble upon us. No people ever could get
along with the Puritan spirit Of New England.
! The Holland Dutch Of Now York had ground
| OF complaint against il two hundred years ago.
so had the Swedes and the Fins who settled in
! Delaware and New Jersey, and also the Cava-
| Tiers in Virginia. 1t was a prosecuting, intol-
Grant, hateful and malignant spirit, that drew
| down upon II the hatred of the whole world.
! II was sour, narrow minded and Liberal"
! Our readers, Of course, will suppose that this
/ Is from the Charleston Mercury, or possibly
from the Richmond Enquirer. No, it is from
an editorial article in the Cincinnati Enquirer
written In the Southern spirit, and intended 10
stir up local animosltles at the North, when II
is of the utmost importance that provincial
jcalOusiOs should be laid aside, while all unite
In the common cause OF the country.
Hero Is another passage Of a like kind from
another newspaper, speaking Of New England
&" Protesting philanthropy, she Is outraglng
every sentiment ofhumanity and dCccncy; pro
Tossing patriotism, she is trampling tho law
and tho liberties of the people under foot; pro
Tossing the religion Of the Prince Of Peace, shI
Is revealing In blood and slaughter, and coun
selling the determination Of millions. And
while she Is doing all this, she Is aiming to Sc
cure her own political supremacy, In tho fll
tuTo, over all that remains of the country ant
the people. Whatever Of human rights, OF Law
Of morality, Or OF religion may stand in tn
way Of her success she tramples In the dust
She 10 determined to succeed In her purposes
at whatever cost 10 the rest of the country
Such being tho fact, Is II wonderful that dc
sire to be rid of New England 10 beginning l.

llgent people, who know how much the COuntr

l Our readers will take 1t for granted that thi
is from the Grenada Agp.0l, or some one Of tn
Richmond papers, since Ii only repeats tn
c language which those prints are In the habit O

which has It's cue, doubtless, from the leader
Of the Southern rebellion.

The Chicago print has so outraged publ
opinion in Chicago BY thus cooperating Wit
