NEW ENGLAND YANKEE CHARAC.
TER DELINEATED BY YANKEE.

The New York Tribune, whose editor is
Vermont Yankee. and who thoroughly appre-
ciates Yankee character, in article upon
Southern labor" thus portrays the graspirg
disposition. the hypocritical cunning, the "snuf-
hIng and swindling" prOpeDsites Of a large num-
Der OF the New EngIanders:
I'VE hear that many Of The blacks, thoroughly
distressing their old masters. place all conf
dence in the Yankees who have recently come
among them. and will work for these on almost
any terms. We regre, this. for. while many of
these Yankees will justify that confidence,
others will grossly abuse it New England pro-
duces many OF the best specimens Of the human
race, and. along with those, some Of the very
meanest beings that ever stood on two legs
cunning. rapacious. hypocriticsl. ever ready to
skin flint with borrowed knife and make (for
others a soup out Of the Feelings. This class
soon becomes too well known at home-"run
out" as the phrase is-when they wander al
over the earth. snuifiing and swindling. to the
injuay and shame OF the land that bore them
and cast them out. Now let il be generally
presumed BY the ignorant blacks of the
South that Yankee, because Yankee. is
necessarily their friend. and this unclean brood
will oyerspread the South like locus,s, starting
schools and prayer meetings a. every crossroads,
getting hold Of abandoned or confscated plan
tatons and hiring laborers right aud lett, cutting
timber here, trying out tar and turpentine there.
and growing corn. cotton. rice. and sugar. which
they will have sold at the earliest day and run
away with the proceeds. leaving the negroes in
rags and foodless. with winter just coming on.
Trust myself is the very first maxim to be
impressed on.tbe ignorant blacks; take TO mans
fair words as substantial verities, but insist on
being paid as you go"
What chance will the eInancipated negro in
the Southern States have. if they become subject
to snch classl Is il all probable that their con
dition, morally or physically. will be whit i'm
provedi Yet just the creatures that the Tribune
describes viii endeavor to take advantage of
the present chaotic condition of affairs in the
States which have been in rebellion, to enrich
themselves by deceiving and swindling the poor
