The SsHtinsl, in Genealogical article, sh0Ws that
the hatred Of races and Of varieties Of The same rev
are reeoueable. In supper Of this theory, the SeHti
mel quotes several learned preceden, not the least
striking Of which is the hatred of the Scotch and Irish
for the English; but the SsHfi"si exhibits an u

And q later setlsrs following the inSGorabls law Of

Of Yankee perpaiee sciibtsrs and the columns Of the

The Enquirer, showing how eV q the smallest hVOrs

baueen the capture Of New Orleans and recent opera

DAYS after the fell Of NeE Orleans Hence the fall Of
New OH ans was not the coroary Of she surrender Of
the forts but the Of the proposition alone

called upon the citizens to forward and Asst in
putting down the rebellion.
The DIOatsh states that the chief cause which led to
