Ii tne deDaGeS on the oregon OH, IN 1S4S,
Daniel Webster said: 81 understand that one halt
the people who settled in Illinois are people. or
descendants of people, who came from the South
ern States. And suppose that opr-third of the
people of Ohio are those or descendants of those,
who emigrated from the South" We dare say
that large proportion of the people of other
North western States are, in like manner, South
5ern citizens, or men of Southern descent. -
The most formidable armies We have encoun-
tered in this war are made up of North western
men and Kentuckians and Tennesseeans. It Is
the hands of her own children that have given
the So h more trouble than all the Puritan, Eu-
ropean and african troops combined.
DOUBTLESS, this is true. It is an Ill bird tina.
fouls its own nest, saith the proVerb. But what
must be the terrible ignorance of people which
thus prompts them not only to bind themselves
as the tools of tyranny and usurpatiol, but which
prompts them to lift parricid&l hands against their
ancestry. Nay, which makes them lift weapons
own againsta people actually fighting their battles,
for the South really is waging war for the free
dom of Sagr culture. The West is almost wholly
agricultural and it is fighting usno8 to uphold
and extend the usurpaton of the manufacturing
and trading population OF New England, Penn
sylyania and New York. This ignorance Of the
people is the terrible curse ofeyerg country,
the real source of all its nischiets. and must be
essentially the curse Of all deIAocraeies placing,
them at the mercy Of the cunning denagogpe,
who soothes them with a lie, while he saps the
vital fluid from their systematic vampire who
fans them to sleep, while he sucks the blood from
the very fountains of the heart. &ss

CCRIoUs IN HUMAN FooD. Mankind has
been wonderfully ingenious since its infancy
in the concoction of edible varieties. Apart
from baked human thighs in Fejee and boiled
fingers in Suniatra, there are sundry culinary
fashions still extant which must be marvel

ducks tongues in China, .kangaroosin Aus

can be little doubt that these are unwarranta-

Darwin had passion for pauma; DR.. Brook

a most refreshing potion. And how can we

Tndies-ifa a sloth be good on the Amazon, aud

we compassionate such races as have little

as Monteseuieu a6ffrms: there are valid reasons
for not eating pork. there are reasons quite as
uRimpeachable for eating giraffe, alpacha, per-
