of the Yankee peddler, like a CAD fly,

sums, they have made fortune, where
else under Gods bright canopy can you
find people. though they pinch the six

The necessity OF their condition. obliges
them to be small IN small things but the
generosity Of their nature makes them
more liberal in large thiIgs, as their
schools, academies, colleges and other in
sttutions, bear honorable witness, than
the people who SANDER them.
New England made education It's idol.
The result is universal mind activity
There is not room enough in New Eng
land for the race. There is not room
enough in the nest for the bird, but it

land; bankers, brokers, railway managers,
ship captains, merchants, generals. judg-

They send TO New England for men OF
brains for the same rea7on that they send
to the mountain for ,imber--because they
grow there. Yet none the less do they

when they want TO denounce him they
have t. send Tor an aposlate Yankee to
do it for them, Great applause. New
Engla nd furnishes the literature Of the
continent. The hatred of New England
is for her principles. The name of New
| England is synonymous with liberty
She is the true founder Opon this CONT
nent of popular government. she de-
clares now, as she has ever done, that the
doctrine Of the Union is the doctrine Of
1 the rights of man, foremost among which
are The rights of liberty.

The mouth of New England must be
stronger than Hercules. The attempt to
hold back the Inspiration Of Gods spirit
in the human soul, has been nled for 2 ,00C
