"THE DEMOCRATIC CHIvALRY OF THE
NORTH" 1T seems to us that the South
ern orator who spoke OF the "demo-
cratic chivalry of the North" marching
to the re enforcement of the discounted
rebels of the South, was guilty of an
abuse of terms. The term "chivalry"
we understand to be, like the soil of
Virginia, sacred. As no soil can be
Sacred" that has not been fertilized by
the sweat and blood of slavery, so
there can be no "chivalry" where
the kindred principles of slavery do
not prevail. The democracy OF the
north are doubtless entitled to great
consideration from their southern mas
ters. In the way of sympathy for the
rebellion, a general leaning towards
treason and the repudiation OF the ma
tional faith, they are all that could be
desired; but not till man has doRged
woman or sold his half.sfster to a
negro trader, can he be fairly classed
with the chivalry. Nor do we see any
way in which the northern democracy,
with all their docile subserviency 10
the south, can become chiUdtrtZed--lt
we may coin a word-unless the
Ku-KIux-Klan should organize band
of that patriotic institution, north of
the Potomac. And this, considering
certain prejudices still prevailing in
this benighted part of the land, might
not be altogether safe experiment
We respectfully suggest to the Rev.
Petroleum v. Nasby, Professor, &C.,
who has charge of the literature as
well as the morals of the Democratic
party, that he tnterpose his authority
to put stop to this abuse of language.
