The Boston Post is greatly alarmed lest the
wave of liberty should sweep over the repub-
lie, and set free the millions of white working
men, north and south, from the thralldom that
has oppressed them, from the scorn flung in
their teeth by southern chivalry and wash out
the stain from labor, that has been brandedinto
itby the naughty governing class, whose tyran-
MES and expressions have dragged us to the
brink of ruin. With Cassandra shrek (no!
not with the nobeness of a Cassandra, but
with the sneer of Mephistophiles), the Post
walls over Mr.. Summers desire, expressed
in Faneuil Hall, that with peace might
come the blessings of absolute liberty to all;
and trembes, with pallid terror, at the thought
(Which seems to be its ocn) that when the
states return again into the Union they will
be ''purged of all the dross and stain of white
institutions ~ Now if ''white institutions" mean
such a system of labor, that every poor white
man at the south is utterly degraded and ex
tinguished, kept in poverty the most abject,
in subserviance the most humiliating, denied
schools and every means Of Improvement and
culture, shut up in barbarous prejudices, and
reduced to the condition of tobacco-chew-
ing, whiskey- drinking brute, so low that the
poorest slave sneers at him and calls him
''poor, white trash;" then in the name of the
Republic let us have such white institutions
puRAed away! If "white institutions" mean
brand on every northern working man; a
faint in the blood, barring from honor and re-
spect the honest son of toll, look askance at
enterprise and endurance, at forethought and
at thrift; if they mean the making of
the word yankee" a synonym for abject
meanness, and low cunning, and disgraceful
cowardice; is it not true that the white wrath of
every honest man, who respects his manhood,
and worships God in whose image he was
made, should sweep such institutions away
and inaugurate time when it shall no longer
be flung into the teeth of our noblest senators
and representatives as a taunt and a re-
proach, that they are the sons of black
smith, or have Glanced themselves to sit on
the shoe-bench, or hold the tools of ma
chine shop.
