"The Neral Condition Of the Two
Sections"

The above was the caption Of the
leader in the Courier. To those who
are acquainted with its peculiar senti
ments, it would be unnecessary for us
to say to which section it awarded the
palm of moral excellence. The un-
hung never omits an opportunity to
laud the South at the, expense Of the
North and it is perfectly natural in
the man who defends the enormities
Of Andersonville, and rejoices in the
companionship Of PoMERoY. Our read
ers will remember the noted article in
the Courier, some months ago, on
New England. The article sof yester-
day breathes something of the same
spirit, clothed in more temperate Ian
guage But it is more extended in its
application, reaching to the West, and
omitting in its enumeration only In
diana and Illinois, AS the paper has
been ostracised from most of the ia
miles of the city, it is not very exten-
sively read. But it is well that the
spirit Of the organ of what was left of
Democracy from the late elections, be
more generally known, and we, there
fore, make the following extracts:
The most bastard and diabolical murders
and inhumanities are the events of the
times in the North, while in the South
these occurrences are very rare. q "ai
Yet it seems that the States lately in re-
bellion present a decidedly better moral
record than the States that have had un-
interrupted governments and where the
powers of the law have been In full force
at all times. And nditiwouldseem that this
reign of crime extended Northwestward
and Eastward more particularly. leaving
the Middle and Southwestern States some-
what freer from It's pollution. We read Of
the most bastard and blood freezing MUIR

pious, Puritan, pharisaical New England,
and of numerous cases where sons murder
fathers and fathers wives, and of unknown
poisonings and other diabolisms in such

phaticaily resolved that they are Saints,
and the only beings entitled to liberty,
justice, freedom, and all human rights,
and eternal rewards in Heaven hereafter.
We ehave the keyto the editors i'll
humor in the last paragraph. 1t was
the elections of last week which
opened his eyes to this horrible state
of society existing in the East and
West, while the South is living in
profound peace with all men, respect
ing the rights of others, and hoping
for justice of Him who must and will
ultimately deliver them out from the
bondage of the Babylonians of the
North, and give them His divine re-
cognition.
