We should be glad If our articles on New Eng

I might have the effect of reducing the bad taste

is a somewhat amusing iiustraton of the char
acter of the New England radical, that while
various newspapers are publishing the astounding
evidence OF the demoraiiz.ton OF Boston, as in
dicated by the horrible state oi things in their
public institutions the Boston radical papers
make no reply; but our remarks on their Puritan
ancestors stir up the bitterness of their nature and
produce such nntrutbGui articles as this from

Gates the peculiar kind of pride of ancestry which
we seek to curb. New Englanders of this class

We must it seems. cx plain to the comprehen

British, Scotch, or even of New England Socie
ties in New York. We commend. encourage,
and reiuice in them all There Was time when
il was pleasure 70 attend the gatherings of the
New England Society. But since il has taken to

has ceased to be pleasure. Irish and Scotch

country. 1t is only New England radicals that
have the impertinence TO come among us in New

We are glad to see that the New England rad
icas feel the effect of exposure of their folly
IL would coInport better with the old character
OF the Boston Journal for truth and for patriot

We have clearly ami indsputsbly proved the ig-
norance or the wiliul misstatements of Mr..
Sumner and the New England Society about the
| principles Of their Puritan ancestors. We cha
lenge the Boston journal, and all New England
radIcalism combined, 10 dsprove our statements
concerning the character. laws and practices of
the Puritans.
What is funny about all this is the special
claim that these New England radicals set up TO
the custody Of Puritan reputation May not
Southern shareholders and saretraders be equally
proud Of themi j. L not Just as much the right
of South Carolinaian who has drop of Puri-
tan blood in his veins TO be proud of the slave
holding character ot his Puritan ancestry. as it is
for Bostonan to be proud of them. especially
when he has to conceal their true character for
the sake Of justifying his pride? Ii strikes US the
South Carolinaian has the superior claim.
Nor can we dismiss the Boston Journal with
out recommending more fairness than is indicated
| in stating the question as "whether there have
! been men among US who made money n dis
reputable business" &c. The proof as laid down
in our articles is that the whole Puritan religion
and policy saveholding and slavetrading;
that Its laws, treaties, aud doctrinal belief were
all of that chuacter; that they continued more
than cenrury. and that in the convention which
formed the United States Constitution the votes
oil New II tmpshre, Massachusetts and Connect
cut were cast for protecting the slave trade ill
1903, and those votes decided the protection. Ii
