The Poor whites of the South.

I
rio and denraved condition of larger
portion of the Southern people. ne
-ditor asks, what shall we do 1or the
moor whites 2" and answers, I'VE mus
create a new South by taking the negro
in one hand and the poor white IN the
OTHER, and leading them forth rom
their squalid huts and cabins INTO tne
nleasant cottages and school-rooms OF
Northern civilization" The tribune
contends that it was ignorance that leo
the Southern people into the error OF
secession I; ignorance that flfed the hear's
If the brave hosts that bore the n'g OF
heir choice on the field of carnage; ig
norance that impelled nation 10 arol-
trate by the sw ord, right SO long Vouch
safed to them by the original compact OF
their sires; ignorance that held them
firmly and unwavering, for four years. IN |
the face of a superior numerical force
and battled for cause to the bitter end
Then it was ignorance that led Napoleon
% the zenith of his glory, because he
wasted his army Oh the retreat from Mos
COW and suffered defeat on the plains OF
| Waterloo; it was ignorance that led the
heroic Wallace and his followers to strike
for the freedom of Scotland, because the
| unrelenting hand of oppression crushed
the Inadequate force Allotted to maintain
her rights; it was Ignorance that I'M
| pelled Ireland to lift her head above the
vortex of degradation beneath which
she was held by an unfaltering despotism,
because the ensign of her glory went
down with her blood; yet to-day her
cause finds an advocate at the very door
of those who assail the Southern people
and denounce them as disloyal and re-
bellious. Throughout the North tbs
Fenian Brotherhood are daily gaining
po.ency whose ostensible object sis not
even screened from public gaze. And
who are prepared to say that in Ireland,
or even in Scotland, the fires that were
kindled long ago upon the altar of theiI
country, are not kept alive by the intole-
rable prosecutions and malignant acis
heaped upon them by an ungenerous
people? Prosecuted patriotism finds no
abyss so deep as to consign it to oblivion,
. and the power that inficts wound upon
, national pride, leaves remcrse that will
seek revenge so long as the vanqulsheo
are degraded. l.r.
