hardly reureseuted at rrha reverse

hardly represented at all.-The reverse
was the.case. There were but few more
foreigners in the. Northern than there
were in the Southern armies. Nine
tenths of the entire forces were young
men born on the soil, and braversoldiers
the world cannot produce. The Repub-
Tic says: ~ Y
We have lately published facts which
go/to show that, contrary to a general
impression in this part of the country,
all classes in the North were largely rep
resented in the late war, and that it was
not carried on chiefly by the instrument
tally of foreign troops. The best blood
OF the North, as well as the best blood of
the South, flowed feeely in that unnatu-
raj contest. If the fratricidal strife pro
duces no. other beneficial result, it will
lead to a more Intelligent and respee full
! appreciation OF each others courage by
/ the Inhabitants of the two sections
Nothing was more common before the
war than to 'hear-peopie of both North
and South expressing contemptuous
opinions Of the manhood of all who
were net born within their own section
al horizons 1t was in vain that a few
ed to disabuse their fellow-citizens of
these absurd and dangerous prejudices.'
1t was in vain that, in the North, con-
sentative leaders pointed to the names
of Washington, of Taylor, of Scott, of
the hero Of New Orleans; or that in
4-the South : the names of the New
England naval heroes Of the late war
with England were appealed to, and that
the historical factwas produced that Mas
sachusettsalo kept on foot in the old
French wars alafger force, in proportion
to- her population, than France in the
height of her military phrenzy under
Napoleon Nothing,it seemed, but the
rude shock of arms could Introduce into
the public mind the obvious truth that
physical courage is the common quality
of all male animals, and that if any race
Il of men furnishes an exception to thai
remark, it is certainly not that race
, whose blood runs in the veins alike o
| North and South, and which, just al
truly as the old Romans, mightbe desig
