II any one has not clear idea Of the object
for which the Southern insurgents are fighting,
let him rssd the following candid expressions
from the Richmond Itamaser, one Of the sblest
journals printed In rebeldom: %
I"The establishment Of the Confederacy 10 q

sympathy Of the nations until We conquered
that sympathy with the sharp edge Of our

Those social,and political problems which rack
to solve for ourselves, In our own way, and
upon our own principles. That $ among equals

ally unequal, equality IL chaos; ust there are
sldre races bora 10 serpe, master races born TO
govsrnj such are the fundamental principles
which we inherit from the ancient world, which
we llffed up IN the fAce Of pcryerse generation
that has forgotten the wisdom Of It's fathers /;
by those principles we live, and In their de.
fcuse we have shown ourselves ready TO die.
Reverently we feel that our confederacy %

and whose hath ears to hear, let him hear.
: statesmen and thinkers up 70 the mark and
ievee OF the situation. There are. men in these
Confederate States who have long deeply felt
and earnestly striven to express, though timid-
i!ly and speculatively, on what foundations Of

and brigha. Now II the time. Let than speak
~ 10 apologstic toss nor place u.s. at their peril
in any dcprecautious attitude. This people
hiss won the right surely to be let alone.
They will accept no deduction In politics, In
literature, In phibpsophyj they will not follow
but lead, not borrow hut lend. They are more
than content with their own principle ofmorals
and way of lite, and viii stand upon 1t 10 the
end, SO help them God.o
. vi The " mistaken civilization of the age" by
which the laborer Is paid for his toll and al.
lowed to be man, Is to be subverted, and the
nations are to be taught by this missionary,
born of treason and baptized in fratricidal
blood, that tho social and political problems
that rack and torture modern society are to be
solved only by enslaving the feebler races to
the master races!- 1t is. for slavery, SUBJ
ordination and government-theo strong over
the weak-they are battling, and they i'm
piously talk Of conquering the sympathy Of
the nations for this their cornerstone of
principle. When the nations and people
Of the civilized world SO far forge, God and are
so far forgotten by Him as to enslave aud buy
and sell men, women, and children wherever in
equality of races can be found, we shall expect
to see the rebellion sustained aud the Southern
Confedsracy recognized and upheld but the
sharp edge of the rebel swords will be terribly
dulled and rusted before they have conquered
the worlds sympathy for the stroclous doctrines
OF the /" master races" In Dixie.
