The Hatred Between the North
and the South.


the present time This hatred was con-
cocted in England many years ago, and
in 1923. an agent was sent over to New |
England in the person of a certain George |
Thompson, to carry out the Englisl
scheme. which is now about to be matured. |
At that time he made some headway in
indoctrinating the purltans OF New Eng
land with hatred to the shareholders of
the South.
That same hireling Of the British Go
| vernment is now making harangues about I
the side shows at Washington, and fiatter- ,
| ing the President about the progress he |
has made in the abolition of slavery
Lincoln is not only pleased, but deilghtcd
| with him. England never for moment
lost sight of the disruption of this Repub-
lie They kept goading or that puritan
nation of pedlers in and around Boston,
until they got them up to a boiling heat
about slavery, and finally into war OF
determination against Shareholders That
same George Thompson, tells the Presi-
dent at one of these side shows, - that
within the last two or three years, your
nation has been born again in the cause
| of freedom. That noble martyr of liberty,
"John Brown" the hero Of IIarper's
Ferry, by his devotion and death sent Il
| e FL. &C
| hearts. Had it not been for john Browns
immoation on the altar of liberty and
patriotism, honest Abraham Lincoln could
not have been elected President of the
United States, and thus become the second
dclivcrer of the nation. And had he not
been elected, the cause Of the negro eman-
cipation would have gone backward pro-
badly for half q century. And abraham
swallows this compliment from this hired
Englishman with great delight when he
tells him it was the old murderer John
Brown that elected him President Of the
United States The English people
know this to be true, and he is over here
now finishing the work that WAS begun
thirty years ago. The English under
stand the affairs of this Government bet
ter than Mr. Lincoln does. The Southrcn
people were early apprised Of this inter
ference with their slaves by the Northern
people, hissed on by the English. AL
though the Englishmcn never went there
themselves in the character of Abolition
lists, they were necessarily stufiing the
PuIitans with this doctrine When the
Yankee came among the Southern people
in the capacity Of school master, tract
pcdler, or preacher of the gospel of an
anti-slavcry God, they were sometimes
treated pretty roughly. They sometimes
bedcckcd them with garments composed
of tar and feathers, and sometimes escort.

y purpose of stealing and secreting the run
