NEW ENGLAND VLNDIC7ITE.
st NESS.
Some of the Northern journals pro
fess to look with moro federation upon
certain Southern States than others.-
They do not place Virginia and North
Carolina in the same category with the
Gulf States. They are pleased to re-
mark that these States were among the.
last that came into the contest, and that
Virginia had often interposed her in6u-
euce under the old Government to pre-
vent collisions like the present. They
single out South. Carolina as the ring
leader of this riot-an old offender, who
had long been seeking to make mischief
in the happy family.
We shall not stop to show that the
original disunion State Of the old Con-
federaoy was Massachusetts. She was
in favor Of disunion so long ago as the
last war. Her Legislature passed seces-
sion resolutions as late as the annexation
Of Texas. It was ia Massachusetts,, long
before Southern Secession, that the COM
pact of the Union was openly declared
ga compact with He'll" Practical null
liication existed in New England long
before Southern Secession. The resto-
ration of the Union is the last thing that,
even now, New England desires. It spits
upon the idea Of any renewal of that
alliance. It deprecates, above all other
evils, return to the old order of things
It will not SO much as hear of receiving
the South on the old terms. South Caro-
lima then ought to be the chief object of
New England love and affection, instead
of denunciation and hate :.
We, too, on our part, can make dis
elimination among our enemies. Badly
as the North has behaved in general, we
recognize, without officially, the motive
influence of the war in New England
Puritanism. It was the ascendancy pf
its turbulent and ferocious spirit in the
councils of the United States which
precipitated this war, and which has i'm
parted to it its peculiar horrors. The
motives of the Middle States and the
Western are an entirely different kind
Of humanity. Even the Masonic Lodges
of the South arc not recognized by the
same order in New England. A New
England General in the South lately
destroyed Masonic property and refused
to make any reparation. His superior
officer, . Western Mason, compelled him
to do SO. The Middle States and the
West would hail with JOY reconstruction.
New England demands subjugation. .
Nay more. its clergy clamor for extermi-
nation. Tho Boston Recorder, leading
religious paper, edited by clergymen,
and crjoyiog ! large circulation, alludss
to the danger to which the loyal North
is exposed "from selfish desires for
peace and from being too ready
to take the Divine prercgative Of
forgiveness into our own hands, IS if
We were mbrs msrcifnl tan God, and
pardon 4hose dreadful offenders whom
tho Lord, IN mercy to posterity, has de-
livered 70 rs to destroy" Tho Recorder
pr0ceeds 10 quote the example of sanl,
Who wss reproved ~ the people for not
utterly extssmin ths wicked sAmile-
.kitss, Including the womeu and childssn
