Thee are no people in America that present such str
king contrasts in private and political character, and
L. all moral intellectual "nd religious characteristics,
opinions and practices, as the North CarOlinaps and
the Yankees North Carolina has been derisively call
ed Rip Van Wiukle. This nick name Conveys the
hghes, possible compliment that could be paid to her
1t implies that she Is conservative that sic adheres to
old opinions and pragces hat she Is slow to change
her laws her constitution, her form OF government, or
her forus OF religion That she Teveres the past and
cings to It's mnutest habits, customs and usagcs, in
private and socia e well as in political lie; that
She does not fer sight Cause change her men or her
measures She de1ests Innovation respects expert
ence but avoids experiment That she has no conf
dence n the deduction CT speculative reasoning, none
il a prao,i abstract philosophy. Her distinguished
traits faith reliance On authority Gnd experience and
respect fer the past make her the most conservative
State oil the conservative South and present her in
strongest contrast to the radical fcka, sceptcl reVo
lutionary North.
At the North they have faith in nothing epecula-
ton about everything. Human experience has no
oiyht Wit hUm3n no n
Change sDd innovation the order OF the day with
them Change in aE, in constitution, in Institutions,
in politics. in men, in measures in religion, In habits,
customs, usagea ard fashions They the most
Ceted people earth, and from the hest to the low
est Of them, set about inVeuting a religion, new
form OF government, or piece OF machinery with
equal sang t,Old aid oqaol presumption and impcrti
Ihey place jmplicit reliance on the deductions of
mere human reasyn. unsided by faith experience
hence with few exceptions, they are all quacks, char
laans indes or skeptics Thy present the strongest
contrast TO the character of Rip Van Wrinkle, and it
may be North Carolina presents the nearest approach
to that character.
If SO, she is tho great representative State of the
South; Tor CONSERVATISM is the leading feature OF
Sout-ern character, Laws, governments aud nstitu-
ons religious social and political as radicasm,
lutionism, change, innovation and infdelity OF
\ orthern. This is a Of opinions as well as OF
arms, OF radicaliam sud irfdey against faith,
authority and conservatism. May North Carolina
long Continue what she i5the model State OF the
Sou.h
She may have some traitors within her limits !; but
she has few, and thCg far between. She has good
mauy obstinate men, who if trey happen to imbibe
wrong opinions all men will, sometimes, are slow
and hard TO change. Cd RIP is now vide awake, aud
detests Yarkats end Yankee ways from the bottom OF
his brave and honest heart
From tire beginning of the war, the numbers and the
courage OF her troops satisfied of her loyalty to the
cause OF Southern lndt pendence. We only feared that
few actlCus aud ambitious men who misrepresented
her Opn mons, might do harm without her boundaries.
The resus OF the recent elections have queted all such
approximations.
